Located in the northwest of Chengdu, the Minjiang River is rich and rolling forward. More than 2,000 years ago, Li Bing and his son built Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project here, introducing rich Minjiang River water into Chengdu Plain. Since then, Chengdu Plain has bid farewell to floods and droughts. "Floods and droughts follow people without knowing hunger", so it is uniquely endowed and won the reputation of "Land of Abundance". Today, the name of "Tianfu" is still an important city symbol of Chengdu.
Culture is the unique imprint of a city, and it is also the root and soul of a city. Chengdu Plain, known as "the land of abundance", is an important birthplace of ancient Shu civilization.
Tianfu culture, which is innovative, elegant, fashionable, optimistic, inclusive, friendly and public-spirited, has a profound and broad cultural foundation and innovative cultural vitality, which nourishes the rich Chengdu Plain and gradually infiltrates the urban texture of Chengdu.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the world's first paper money "Jiaozi" was born in Chengdu, where industry and commerce were developed. 1980, the stock "Shudu House" was also born here, which is in the same strain as "Jiaozi" and continues the monetary consciousness and financial genes of Tianfu culture.
Today's events are always closely related to history, especially culture. In the long history of Chengdu, you can always see the initial spark and growth footprint of Tianfu culture.
Chengdu is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China, and it is also one of the top ten ancient capitals whose sites, names and centers have remained unchanged for more than 2,300 years. The historical context of the city is relatively independent and self-contained. It is in such an environment that Tianfu culture is endless, passed down from generation to generation and continues to this day.
Chengdu has a long history, which is not only the center of the origin and development of ancient civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but also one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. According to archaeological findings, the settlement center of ancient Shu ancestors, represented by Baodun site, appeared in Chengdu Plain 4500 years ago. More than 2,400 years ago, the enlightened IX of ancient Shu moved to Chengdu, which was named "Chengdu" because of "gathering in one year, becoming a city in two years and Chengdu in three years", and it has been used ever since. In 3 1 1 year BC, Zhang Ruojian, a city and a small town in Shu County, became a landmark event in the history of building a city. In the Tang Dynasty, Xichuan Festival expanded Gaopian into the capital, laying a "two rivers around" urban pattern.
For more than two thousand years, Chengdu has been the center of southwest China. Qin, Han, Jin and Sui were unified by Shu, and Gongsun Shu in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, Li Xiong in the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Shou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Jian in the former Shu Dynasty and Meng Zhixiang in the latter Shu Dynasty were all established here. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Chengdu was among the five capitals, a famous commercial city in China and an important port of the Silk Road. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, traditional handicrafts such as silk, Shu brocade, Shu embroidery, summer cloth, lacquerware, bamboo ware, Sichuan wine and Sichuan tea have flourished. In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court set up brocade officials in Chengdu to manage the brocade industry, so Chengdu was nicknamed "Jinguan City" and "Jincheng City". Meng Changjun, the commander of the post-Shu Dynasty, ordered the planting of hibiscus, so it was nicknamed "Furong City" and "Rongcheng".
The wisdom and historical traditions of our ancestors created a solid foundation for Tianfu culture. The profound Tianfu culture also feeds back this land.
Innovation and creation are endogenous motivation.
Daci Temple is a place full of historical imagination in the center of Chengdu. The nearby Ocean Taikooli combines this historical imagination with modern commerce. The famous historical building "Xinlu" here has been transformed into a boutique-it retains the antique architectural style of western Sichuan, with blue brick sloping roof, clean and simple glass curtain wall, black paint grille and oval furniture display. The collision between tradition and modernity has become the crowning touch of the business district.
The innovative inheritance of traditional cultural heritage is a vivid aspect of Chengdu's innovation and creation. This innovative factor has been engraved in the genes of Chengdu people since ancient times, and has become the endogenous driving force for the development of Tianfu culture, bringing endless impetus to the sustainable development of the city.
Throughout the ages, from Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, Wen Weng School, Huayang National Records, woodblock printing, etc. There are countless great innovations in the history of Chengdu. Although it is located in Sichuan Basin, Chengdu has never been closed since ancient times. From the "five capitals" in the Han Dynasty to the "two benefits" in the Tang Dynasty, Chengdu's industry and commerce have been very prosperous, and it is not a farming civilization that relies solely on land. Although Li Bai has a poem saying that "the Shu Road is difficult to pass, and the Shu Road is difficult to enter the sky", the Shu people have never stuck to the basin. As early as the ancient Shu Dynasty, the Golden Bull Road of Dragon Tree had been dug. By the Qin and Han dynasties, the plank road in the middle of Shu reached its peak, and "the country with four blockades has everything". Break through the shackles of the basin and establish a transportation system extending in all directions. The spirit of being the first and being innovative has long been internalized in the bones of Chengdu people.
There are many innovative cultural forms, such as innovation in the inheritance of traditional culture, strengthening the protection and utilization of natural and intangible cultural heritage such as ancient Shu cultural sites, industrial civilization sites, historical and cultural blocks, celebrities' hometowns, ancient towns, ancient villages and ancient buildings, inheriting Chengdu stories and folk customs, accurately implementing foreign cultural exchange activities and enhancing the image of the city, and building urban cultural landmarks such as Tianfu Center at a high level. China Chengdu International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival, Chengdu Creative Design Week and other cultural activities will continue to be well organized, and the capital of intangible cultural heritage, music city, design and exhibition will be built to show the elegant demeanor of Tianfu culture in the times.
Elegant and fashionable cultural temperament
"Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu until all the lights go out. Don't stop." One of Zhao Lei's "Chengdu" became popular and sang many people's imagination and yearning for Chengdu. In Chengdu, there are not only folk songs, but also folk music symphonies. Creative design, poetry. Chengdu culture is elegant and unique because of its rich leisure, and leads the fashion because of its enlightened progress.
There are China's ancient poetry recitation concert, a poetic symphony performance, and Jidemaga's personal poetry recital, which is the activity of the first Chengdu International Poetry Music Season. A total of 300 music and poetry feasts were staged here to interpret the imaginative "Chengdu Music and Poetry Map". This year, Chengdu International Poetry and Music Season will continue to be held. Nowadays, various music industry resources are gathering in Chengdu. Chengdu has begun to build a world-class city concert hall, music workshop and music park, and will set up Chengdu International Music Industry Expo.
At Chengdu Creative Design Week, 650 creative design companies from home and abroad brought more than 20,000 "brain-opening" exhibits in aerospace, tourism, e-sports and other fields, which opened the eyes of the audience: Lenovo ThinkPad X 1 notebook computer with functions freely added according to users' needs, and Delta 3D printer with potential functions such as 3D printing, scanning and laser engraving. At present, Chengdu Creative Design Week has established the "Golden Panda Creative Design Award". Chengdu is becoming an important cultural and creative center city in China.
At the 6th International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival held in Chengdu, China, you can see artists from Uganda showing Ugandan bark paintings with their own eyes. The elaborate program attracted a large audience. Chengdu International Intangible Heritage Festival is the first national-level international cultural festival aimed at promoting the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and it is the only international cultural event that UNESCO has continuously participated in in in China. So far, more than 65,438+000 countries and regions have participated.
Chengdu, which has a large number of intangible cultural heritage projects, implements multiple intangible cultural heritage protection measures, paying special attention to the protection of inheritors. On the basis of carrying out a series of activities of "Thinking about Chengdu and Experiencing Intangible Heritage" and entering scenic spots, communities, campuses and villages, Chengdu focuses on cultivating followers, appreciators and potential practitioners of intangible heritage, carrying out vocational education on intangible heritage, improving the professional skills of intangible heritage workers and enhancing the cultural literacy and aesthetic innovation consciousness of inheritors.
"Elegance and fashion" is a precious cultural temperament in Chengdu. The charm of Chengdu's regional culture is reflected from the magnificent atmosphere of Han Fu to the graceful and beautiful flowers, the rich and elegant paintings of Western Shu and the speculative transcendence of Shu studies.
An optimistic and inclusive cultural attitude
"Optimism and tolerance" is an optimistic, open and compatible cultural attitude in Chengdu. Chengdu culture contains optimism and tolerance for nature, society and even life. This is a cultural attitude from self-confidence and love, from love and tenacity, from tenacity and openness, from openness and acceptance. Chengdu people are optimistic and tolerant. They have experienced many large-scale immigrants, integrated various cultures and formed their own families. The name of the city remains unchanged, and the city site remains unchanged. It has flourished for thousands of years and is a miracle in the history of world city development.
"Comfortable" and "Bashi" are two commonly used words in Sichuan dialect, which contain comfortable and beautiful meanings and are also the impressions of many foreigners on Chengdu. Investigating its inner meaning is actually Chengdu people's peaceful mentality, optimistic personality, calm mentality and determined spirit. It is this kind of personality that makes Chengdu a unique city charm and personality: both the fast pace of modern cities and the slow life of leisure cities; Both the elegance and calmness of traditional culture and the avant-garde fashion of modern civilization; There are both genes that advocate innovation and tolerance; There is both a smart and diligent nature and a virtue of friendship and mutual assistance.
Cultural temperature of friendship and public welfare
On the banks of Huanhua River outside the west gate of Chengdu, surrounded by streams, the forest pond is quiet. In the winter of the second year of the Tang Dynasty (759), the poet Du Fu trudged here with his family from (now Tianshui, Gansu) via Shu Road to avoid the "Anshi Rebellion". The following spring, Du Fu began to build a thatched cottage. From 759 to 763, the Du Fu family lived here for three years and nine months.
Du Fu's first poem during his stay in Chengdu was "Chengdu Mansion": "On Sang Yu Day, look for clothes according to me. I was traveling in different mountains and rivers, and suddenly I stood on the side of heaven. But when you meet new people, you don't know your hometown. " Qi Hehui, an expert on Du Fu's poetry research, said that the Chengdu people described by Du Fu are "new people" and the word "new" contains freshness, novelty and new hope. It is conceivable that Du Fu arrived in Chengdu, although it was a cold winter, but he was still infected by the new atmosphere of Chengdu people. He likes the hospitable people and friendly customs here.
Throughout the ages, Chengdu people have always had a good reputation of kindness, gentleness, enthusiasm and charity. "Friendly public welfare" is the cultural temperature of Chengdu's friendship and kindness, while helping the world. Today, the cultural temperature of Chengdu is enduring. This is the humanistic basis for Chengdu to go global and face the future.
Thank you, Chengdu, the capital of the land of abundance, is ahead of the western economic cities in economy, culture and entertainment.
