Original title: Learn every day | Enamel of exotic colors, throughout the millennium to witness mutual learning between civilizations
Study every day“The color is the same as ice, and there is no thin jade. The elephant feast is invisible and is worthy of jade.” Thousands of years ago, the exotic colored enamel stunned the Tang capital, and the poet Wei Yingwu wrote the colored enamel he saw in his poem.
The entire body is crystal clear, with intricate patterns and decorations. Although this blue enameled glass plaque with embossed eight-petal flowers has been buried underground for thousands of years, it is still dazzling. At the Temple of Famen Museum in Baoji, Shaanxi, glazed exotic objects from the Tang Dynasty are actually displayed in front of people. .
Over a thousand years ago, how did these glazed items with obvious exotic flavors travel thousands of miles to Chang’an? What kind of history did the mixing of civilizations witness?
On March 27, 2014, when President Xi Jinping gave a speech at UNESCO headquarters, he told the story of these glass items:
“In 1987, at the Temple of Famen in Shaanxi, China, 20 beautiful glazed items were unearthed from the underground palace. These are glazed items from Eastern Rome and Islam that were introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty. I’ve been thinking about these foreign cultural relics. One problem is that when it comes to different civilizations, we must not only settle for appreciating the exquisite objects they produce, but also appreciate the humanistic spirit they contain; we must not just settle for appreciating their artistic expressions of women’s lives. people in the past, but also let the spirit they contain. Come alive. “
A Silk Road that has been handed down for thousands of years has left a strong mark on the historical process of exchanges between East and West. Over thousands of years, along the Silk Road, a host of exquisite cultural relics have been left behind, such as pearls strung into the memories of cultural exchanges and trade exchanges.
Glass was called Liuli in ancient times and it gradually spread to China since the opening of the Silk Road. They appeared in Mesopotamia in the 16th century BC or the 15th century BC, and later their production began in Egypt.In the time of the Roman Empire, the production of colored enamels was very prosperous.
It is worth mentioning that among the glazed earthenware unearthed in the underground palace of the Famen Temple in the Tang Dynasty, there are also a pair of glazed tea bowl holders with an obvious “Chinese style”. The raw materials of this glazed tea set are produced outside the territory and are a typical product of “the combination of Chinese and Western”.
Following the long bell of the camel, the ancient Silk Road played the role of communication and dialogue between China and the world. The ideas, artifacts and useful technologies of other civilizations have spread for thousands of kilometers, enriching the connotation of Chinese civilization. Many of the factors of China’s civilization have also spread to different places outside the region, benefiting the world.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Secretary General Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized: “The exchanges of civilizations and mutual learning are an important driving force for the advancement of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world.”
In 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed the “One Belt One Road” initiative, expanding the concept of dialogue between civilizations, adhering to the Silk Road spirit of “peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning, mutual benefit and benefit. mutual “, and practicing a new civilization of” civilized exchange and mutual learning. ” See. Over the past seven years since the Belt and Road initiative was built, the rich cultural connotations and deep cultural significance it contains have attracted worldwide attention.
“Civilization is colorful because of exchanges, and civilization is enriched by mutual learning.” President Xi Jinping emphasized that we must use innovation to increase the momentum of civilization development, activate the source of civilization and progress, and continuously create civilization results that span time and space and are full of eternal charm.
Chinese civilization is full of vitality and the civilizations of the world are full of vigor and beauty. Each has its own beauty, the beauty of beauty, the beauty of beauty and the beauty of the world.
