我访问过世界上许多地方,最吸引我的就是韵味不同的文明,如中亚的古城撒马尔罕、埃及的卢克索神庙、新加坡的圣淘沙、泰国的曼谷玉佛寺、希腊的雅典卫城等。中国愿同各国开展亚洲文化遗产保护行动,为更好传承文明提供必要支撑。
In the many places I have visited around the world, what fascinates me the most is civilizations in their rich diversity. I cannot but think of the Central Asian city of Samarkand, the Luxor Temple in Egypt, Sentosa in Singapore, Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, and the Acropolis in Athens, to mention just a few. China is ready to work with other countries to protect Asian cultural heritage and better preserve and sustain our civilizations.
第二,坚持美人之美、美美与共。每一种文明都是美的结晶,都彰显着创造之美。一切美好的事物都是相通的。人们对美好事物的向往,是任何力量都无法阻挡的!各种文明本没有冲突,只是要有欣赏所有文明之美的眼睛。我们既要让本国文明充满勃勃生机,又要为他国文明发展创造条件,让世界文明百花园群芳竞艳。
Second, we need to uphold the beauty of each civilization and the diversity of civilizations in the world. Each civilization is the crystallization of human creation, and each is beautiful in its own way. The aspiration for all that is beautiful is a common pursuit of humanity that nothing can hold back. Civilizations don't have to clash with each other; what is needed are eyes to see the beauty in all civilizations. We should keep our own civilizations dynamic and create conditions for other civilizations to flourish. Together we can make the garden of world civilizations colorful and vibrant.
文明之美集中体现在哲学、社会科学等经典著作和文学、音乐、影视剧等文艺作品之中。现在,大量外国优秀文化产品进入中国,许多中国优秀文化产品走向世界。中国愿同有关国家一道,实施亚洲经典著作互译计划和亚洲影视交流合作计划,帮助人们加深对彼此文化的理解和欣赏,为展示和传播文明之美打造交流互鉴平台。
The beauty of a civilization finds concrete expression in the classic works of philosophy and social sciences and works of literature, music, film and TV drama. Now, a large number of outstanding cultural works from other countries are brought into China, and a lot of fine Chinese cultural products are introduced to other countries. China is happy to launch initiatives with relevant countries to translate Asian classics both from and into Chinese and promote film and TV exchanges and cooperation in Asia. This will help people in Asia better understand and appreciate each other's cultures and build a platform of exchange and mutual learning for the best of Asian civilizations to spread and be known to more in the world.
第三,坚持开放包容、互学互鉴。一切生命有机体都需要新陈代谢,否则生命就会停止。文明也是一样,如果长期自我封闭,必将走向衰落。交流互鉴是文明发展的本质要求。只有同其他文明交流互鉴、取长补短,才能保持旺盛生命活力。文明交流互鉴应该是对等的、平等的,应该是多元的、多向的,而不应该是强制的、强迫的,不应该是单一的、单向的。我们应该以海纳百川的宽广胸怀打破文化交往的壁垒,以兼收并蓄的态度汲取其他文明的养分,促进亚洲文明在交流互鉴中共同前进。
Third, we need to stay open and inclusive and draw on each other's strengths. All living organisms in the human body must renew themselves through metabolism; otherwise, life would come to an end. The same is true for civilizations. Long-term self-isolation will cause a civilization to decline, while exchanges and mutual learning will sustain its development. A civilization can flourish only through exchanges and mutual learning with other civilizations. Such exchanges and mutual learning should be reciprocal, equal-footed, diversified and multi-dimensional; they should not be coercive, imposed, one-dimensional or one-way. We need to be broad-minded and strive to remove all barriers to cultural exchanges. We need to be inclusive and always seek nourishment from other civilizations to promote the common development of Asian civilizations through exchanges and mutual learning.
