承认、尊重与保持文化多样性认识、保护与传承中华文明

Understanding, Protecting and Inheriting Chinese Civilization

随着经济全球化趋势和现代化进程的加快,世界文化面临单一化危险。经济全球化不等于文化全球化,经济的强势不意味着文化上的霸权。维护文化多样性有助于维护文化安全、文化生态和文化传统。中华文明作为世界几大古老文明之一,具有原生性、可信性、整体性、连续性、先进性和包容性的特点。保护文化遗产即保护文明根脉。从"文物保护"到"文化遗产保护"反映出人类认识由注重物质财富,向注重文化内涵、再向注重精神领域的不断进步。只有通过对文化遗产的认识才能更加深刻地理解中华文明的特征,也才能进一步理解文化多样性的意义以及中华文明在世界文明中的位置。只有保护文化遗产,才能在当下和未来人类栖居地的建设中更好传承这些中华文明的根脉。不同文明之间只有在相互尊重、相互理解的基础上,才能合作共赢,共创未来,促进世界发展。

Because of the trends of economic globalization and acceleration of modernization,world culture is facing danger of simplification.However,economic globalization is not the same thing as cultural globalization.Economic strength does not demand cultural hegemony.Maintaining cultural diversity helps to protect cultural security,cultural ecology and cultural tradition.As one of the world’s oldest,Chinese civilization is known for its venerability,credibility,integrity,continuity,advanced nature and inclusiveness.To protect cultural heritage is to protect the root of civilization.Activities ranging from"cultural relic protection"to"cultural heritage protection"reflect the continuous progress of human cognition from focus on material wealth to greater cultural connotations,and then to the spiritual field.Only understanding cultural heritage facilitates deeper understanding of the characteristics of Chinese civilization,the significance of cultural diversity,and the position of Chinese civilization in the world.Only by protecting the cultural heritage can we optimally inherit the roots of Chinese civilization to nourish construction of human settlements at present and in the future.Only through mutual respect and understanding can different civilizations cooperate for winwin results and create a shared future while promoting world development.
