2024-06-21   

Recently, the "Glory of Ancient Persia - essence of Iranian Cultural Relics Exhibition" opened in Shanghai Museum, which will also welcome the "Top of the Pyramid: Ancient Egyptian Civilization Exhibition" in July. The Assyrian Civilization Exhibition at Suzhou Museum, the Ancient Greek Civilization Exhibition at Nanjing Museum, and the "Forbidden City and Versailles Palace" Exhibition at the Palace Museum are also open to visitors. The high standards, large scale, excellent curation, and skillful arrangement of these exhibitions are breathtaking. Overseas high-end cultural relics exhibitions are densely held in China, allowing Chinese audiences to experience and appreciate the treasures of human civilization beyond China up close, and appreciate the charm of civilization dialogue. On June 17th, at the People's Square Museum of Shanghai Museum, the painted human shaped coffin of the Sakara archaeological site was unveiled. On that day, the bust of Echenaten from the National Museum of Egypt and the painted human shaped coffin from the Sakara archaeological site were the first to be unboxed and unveiled at the People's Square Museum in Shanghai Museum. The Summit of the Pyramid: The Exhibition of Ancient Egyptian Civilization will open on July 18th at the People's Square Museum and open to the public on July 19th. The exhibition gathers 492 sets of 788 precious cultural relics from different periods of ancient Egypt, of which over 95% are the first to arrive in Asia. The exhibition will continue until August 2025. The charm of civilized dialogue lies in the beauty of each individual and the unity of beauty. The dazzling Persian civilization's gold and silver artifacts, glass products, blue and white porcelain, including statues of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Amenemhet III, and Ramses II, and other heavyweight Egyptian cultural relics, as well as rich historical materials and physical examples of Sino foreign exchanges and exchanges, not only present a feast of beauty for Chinese audiences, but also allow them to have a deeper understanding of the development and prosperity of related civilizations. Through mutual learning and learning, different civilizations can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, narrow the spiritual distance between people of different countries, enhance mutual understanding, and achieve a civilization trend of harmony and coexistence. Jeblar Nokand, the director of the National Museum of Iran, expressed his hope to provide an opportunity for the Chinese people who love culture to experience and appreciate the beauty of Iranian culture and civilization up close. The head of the cultural relics department at the Palace of Versailles in France, Marie Lore de Rochebrune, expressed the hope that more people can appreciate the importance of cultural exchange. These overseas cultural relics exhibited in China reflect the high importance and strong willingness of various countries to strengthen dialogue and exchange among civilizations. Ismail, Secretary General of the Supreme Cultural Relics Committee of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, introduced that "The Summit of the Pyramid: The Exhibition of Ancient Egyptian Civilization" is one of the largest outbound exhibitions held by Egypt worldwide in the past 20 years. The history of human civilization is a process of mutual learning, exchange, and learning. At present, multiple global crises and challenges are intertwined and overlapping. The solution to these problems requires summarizing the historical experience of human civilization development, eliminating discrimination and prejudice through civilization dialogue, enhancing understanding and trust, promoting people to people communication, strengthening unity and cooperation, seeking wisdom and nutrition from different civilizations, and finding solutions. Elena Aframizu, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Ionia in Greece, said that the current challenges facing the world are constant. Without knowledge, understanding, and respect for each other, countries cannot cooperate effectively. Abdulfatah Izaddin, director of the Egypt China Friendship Association, said, "Through dialogue among civilizations, we draw wisdom and strength from ancient civilizations, and can learn the highest values to solve the complex problems of the world today." On April 1st, visitors visited the exhibition "The Forbidden City and the Palace of Versailles - Sino French Relations in the 17th and 18th Centuries" at the Forbidden City in Beijing. In recent years, through mechanisms and platforms such as the Forum on Ancient Civilizations, the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference, and the Liangzhu Forum, China has actively deepened its dialogue with other countries on civilization; The China Greece Civilization Mutual Learning Center and the China Hungary Civilization Exchange and Cooperation Research Center have been established successively, making the implementation of civilization dialogue more specific and in-depth; China's enthusiasm and approach to actively exploring new paths of civilization dialogue have been widely recognized by the international community, with a variety of exciting tourism years, fruitful archaeological cooperation achievements, and constantly enriching and expanding cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Behind the action lies the concept. China proposed the Global Civilization Initiative last year, advocating for cultural exchange to transcend cultural barriers, cultural mutual learning to transcend cultural conflicts, and cultural inclusiveness to transcend cultural superiority, which has received positive responses from the international community. Not long ago, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly unanimously passed the resolution proposed by China to establish an International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, once again highlighting that China's ideas and plans are increasingly becoming an international consensus. Former Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, pointed out that "mutual learning among civilizations plays an increasingly important role in promoting world peace and development," and "China will make many contributions to the world in this regard.". Civilization is like water moistening things silently. Exciting exhibitions have built bridges of exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations, witnessing China's commitment to work together with other countries to promote civilization. In today's world where the future and destiny of various countries are closely linked, China will continue to work with other countries to promote more cultural exchanges and dialogue, gather different wisdom and experiences, and inject positive energy into human society to unite and respond to common challenges.
