2023-09-15

The cultural context is long and mellow, and civilizations learn from each other across the world. On the 14th, the Beijing Cultural Forum arrived as scheduled, and domestic and foreign guests gathered in the millennium old capital to discuss international cultural exchange and mutual learning of world civilizations, and gave high praise to the forum. Tamara Rastova Siyamashvili, President of the Executive Board of UNESCO, said that many fields, from tourism, education, entertainment, and scientific research, benefit from the prosperity of culture. This Beijing Cultural Forum will promote the achievement of new consensus, explore new cooperation in the cultural field, and promote further cultural prosperity and development. I am honored to be invited to visit Beijing, an ancient city with countless cultural heritage, on behalf of the Bangkok Municipal Government, and to attend the Beijing Cultural Forum held here. "In the rapidly changing modern world, the development of traditional culture faces deep-seated challenges, and this forum will provide valuable experience for the protection and inheritance of traditional culture," said Sanon Wangsrangben, Deputy Mayor of Bangkok, Thailand. Beijing has a history of 870 years of capital building and over 3000 years of city building. Its profound historical heritage nourishes this ancient civilization, where tradition and modernity complement and coexist in harmony. At the opening ceremony, domestic and foreign guests witnessed the release of the "Ten Major Events for the Construction of National Cultural Centers in 2022", which included "a batch of cultural relics and ancient buildings integrated into the urban living circle". In recent years, Beijing has continuously explored new paths for the protection and utilization of cultural relics and buildings, and each cultural relic and ancient building has become "alive" and "on fire". After years of overall protection and repair, the ancient royal archives such as the Imperial History Collection, the Beihai Yilan Hall architectural complex, and the Memorial Hall of Cao Xueqin's former residence have been restored to the public; In the Zhengyi Temple, a living fossil of Chinese opera houses with a history of over 300 years, Kunqu opera performances and cultural lectures come one after another... Yang Fengyi, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association and Director of the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater, said that the old Beijing ancient opera house has transformed into a new space for performing arts, creating a "guild hall with opera". The old guild hall is becoming a new landmark of urban culture, attracting more young people to learn about traditional opera culture. The Beijing Cultural Forum will play an important role in promoting and developing these traditional Chinese cultures. Today's forum provides an opportunity to emphasize the importance of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is a spiritual treasure trove for people, and through mutual understanding, equal exchange, and cooperation among countries, it will become the inspiration and starting point for creating modern civilization achievements. "said Greek Deputy Minister of Culture, Christos Demas. On the afternoon of the 14th, led by the organizers of the forum, participants walked into the "Beijing style" scenic spots, experiencing the inheritance and innovation of Beijing's historical and cultural heritage firsthand. The Beijing Cultural Forum is a grand event in the cultural field, reflecting China's cultural consciousness and confidence as a civilized country, as well as Beijing's pattern and vision as a world cultural city. As the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the two Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yimou once again came to the Beijing Cultural Forum, hoping to exchange cultural creation experiences with more people and share new ideas for cultural innovation and development.
