丝绸之路跨国申遗:世界遗产理论与实践的创新

The Transnational Nomination of the Silk Roads:Theoretical and Practical Innovation in World Heritage

“文化线路”是近年来联合国教科文组织在世界遗产领域提出的新概念。这一新概念反映了联合国教科文组织在世界遗产的价值理念和价值取向上的调整和变化。其主要表现是,既突出普遍价值,又强调多样性和可持续发展,要求与包括经济因素在内的社会生活各个方面联系起来,同时倡导“全球战略”,增强世界遗产的均衡性、代表性与可信力。在此背景下,丝绸之路系列跨国申遗无疑是一次创新的探索。它极大促进了全球各种文明交流互鉴,提升了共建“一带一路”国家和人民保护人类共同遗产的力度,使古丝绸之路再现勃勃生机,为人类可持续发展做出积极贡献。

“Cultural Route”is a new concept proposed by UNESCO in the field of world heritage in recent years.This new concept reflects the adjustment and change of UNESCO’s values and orientations of world heritage.Its main manifestation is that it not only highlights universal value,but also emphasizes the unity and sustainable development in diversity,requires connection with all aspects of social life including economic factors,and advocates a“global strategy”to enhance the balance,representativeness and credibility of world heritage.In this context,the Serial Transnational nomination of the Silk Roads is undoubtedly an innovative exploration which has greatly promoted the exchanges and mutual learning of various civilizations around the world,and enhanced the efforts of countries and people along the“Belt and Road”to protect the common heritage of mankind.The ancient Silk Road is reproducing its vitality and making positive contributions to the sustainable development of mankind by this.
