On August 1 day, Beijing time, news came from the 34th World Heritage Committee meeting held in Brasilia, Brazil. It is reported that the historical building complex of Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng, China was listed on the World Heritage List after deliberation. This also means that the unique cosmology and aesthetics of China ancestors have gained international recognition.
Where does the round earth of "heaven and earth" come from? According to Lu, the drafter of the application document and director of the local records office of Dengfeng City, Henan Province, the concept of "heaven and earth" was once questioned by some western experts. Therefore, in this declaration, the detailed explanation of the concept of "heaven and earth" has become the most important content.
According to reports, there are different heritage combinations and overlaps between Dengfeng area and the traditional cosmology of "the integration of heaven and earth" and the sacred mountain worship of "Zhongyue Songshan", which makes it difficult for international counterparts to overcome the cultural differences between the East and the West.
In June 2009, at the 33rd World Heritage Conference held in Spain, Wutai Mountain in Shanxi was successfully promoted, but the historical buildings in Dengfeng were stuck-approved as "recommended for inclusion in supplementary materials". This is also regarded as a change in the situation of China's World Heritage Application 15.
Lu Hongjun said that the earth is round. From the perspective of modern science, there seems to be no concept of "between heaven and earth". In ancient China, it was believed that the earth was round, the sky was round and the earth was square. The square earth has a center, where Yin and Yang meet and wind and rain meet, which is the root of the development of all things. Under this banner, Songshan became a sacred mountain, a sacred mountain, and was sacrificed by emperors of past dynasties, forming a rich historical building complex in Songshan.
According to reports, the contents of the application for the World Heritage in Dengfeng are mainly eight items, including 1 1, Zhongyue Temple, Taishi Pavilion, Qimu Pagoda, Shao Shi Quemen, Huishan Temple, Songyang Academy, Song Yue Pagoda, Shaolin Temple, Tallinn Temple and Chuzu Temple. After the Han, Wei, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is an ancient architectural complex with the largest span, the largest variety of buildings and the richest cultural connotation in China, and it is also the most authentic and profound reflection of the unique world outlook and aesthetics of China ancestors.
Lu Hongjun said that "in the world", as the core cultural concept of Songshan historical complex applying for world cultural heritage, is also a high generalization of China's simple cosmology. In the view of Yu Pei, a well-known domestic humanities scholar, the theme of Dengfeng's application for the World Heritage has become "in the world", which is more convenient for international understanding.
After three days of investigation, I got to know the word "Zhong". Juliet Ramsey, an Australian cultural heritage expert, sincerely praised the unique cultural connotation of Songshan historical complex when evaluating and accepting the "Heaven and Earth" historical complex. She said, "This word always appears on the inscriptions of Shaolin Temple, Stargazing Platform, Zhongyue Temple and Songyang Academy, which fully shows a nation's worship and recognition of' heaven and earth' in humanities". A word "Zhong" has also become the representative of China. It explains the core cosmology of the Chinese nation and China Thought for thousands of years.
As a group of art halls of oriental ancient buildings, the historical buildings in Dengfeng, with its ancient and broad, concise and splendid vicissitudes, finally won the "heart" of the World Heritage Committee and became the 39th World Heritage List in China. It is also the third world cultural heritage in Henan Province after Longmen Grottoes and Yin Ruins in Anyang.
Ding Shixian, head of the delegation in front and propaganda minister of Zhengzhou Municipal Committee, said that declaring the World Heritage is tantamount to making further commitment to world protection, and it is also conducive to the world to better understand China culture, so as to better understand contemporary China.
