彭納

璀璨的亞洲文明，為世界文明發展史書寫了濃墨重彩的篇章，人類文明因亞洲而更加絢爛多姿。我們應該增強文明自信，在先輩們鑄就的光輝成就基礎上，堅持同世界其他文明交流互鑒，努力續寫亞洲文明新輝煌——中國國家主席習近平

The great Asian civilizations have a special place in the annals of world civilizations， and they have added to the diversity of human civilizations. We should have greater confidence in our civilizations. We may build on the rich heritage of our forefathers， stay engaged with other civilizations and increase mutual learning. By doing so， we will add new glory to Asian civilizations. — Chinese President Xi Jinping

當安納托利亞高原上的小麥破土而出，它成為了哺育人類的乳汁；當水稻被河姆渡人種在長江流域的土地上，它供養著生命的世代傳承；當朵朵棉花如云般綻放在古印度，它溫暖著在歲月洪流中奮進的人們。這些給予人類生命延續力量的種子，拼接出亞洲這片土地關于文明的最初印象。

亞洲，在世界版圖上，占據著陸地總面積的29.4%，被譽為“太陽升起的地方”。幅員遼闊的亞洲大陸，孕育出了瑰麗多彩的文明——延綿至今的中華文明、悠久古老的印度文明、神秘奪目的巴比倫文明。

四季交替，歷史更迭。2015年3月28日，博鰲亞洲論壇開幕式上，中國國家主席習近平發表主旨演講時說："中方倡議召開亞洲文明對話大會，加強青少年、民間團體、地方、媒體等各界交流，打造智庫交流合作網絡，讓亞洲人民享受更富內涵的精神生活，讓地區發展合作更加活力四射。"

4年后，亞洲文明對話大會落地中國。這場關于文明的盛事，讓來自亞洲的47個國家和世界其他國家及國際組織的1352位會議代表齊聚北京，圍繞“亞洲文明交流互鑒與命運共同體”主題，共商亞洲文明發展之道，共話亞洲合作共贏大計。

5月的北京，被盛開的月季花裝點，街頭飛揚的彩旗延續到路的盡頭，亞洲文明對話大會牡丹花形狀的標志隨風舞動，與路邊盛放的鮮花遙相呼應。5月15日，亞洲文明對話大會緩緩拉開序幕，7天時間里，大會舉辦了開幕式及六場平行分論壇，與此同時，在全國同步開展亞洲文化嘉年華、亞洲文明周、亞洲美食節等活動，讓全國各地的人們都有機會參與到這場文明的盛宴中。

熙熙攘攘的中國國家博物館內，參觀者絡繹不絕。這座現代化的博物館內有一方寶藏，隱藏著遠古的文明之光。

走進“殊方共享——絲綢之路國家博物館文物精品展”，文明交往的歷史畫卷便在一件件文物中緩緩展開。此次展覽，中國國家博物館聯合“一帶一路”沿線的柬埔寨、日本、哈薩克斯坦、拉脫維亞、蒙古、阿曼、波蘭、韓國、羅馬尼亞、俄羅斯、斯洛文尼亞、塔吉克斯坦12個國家博物館，精挑細選各個時期、不同門類的234件（套）歷史文物，實證絲綢之路沿線國家豐富多樣的文化交流。

展品中，俄羅斯早期文明帶著青銅時代的莽撞，將游牧文化帶入中國，那些帶有圖爾賓諾文化符號的長矛，在新疆、青海出土；在蒙古國的展品中，來自中國和其他國家的各種錢幣，成為了絲綢之路上貿易往來的有力證據；哈薩克斯坦黃金武士閃亮的盔甲，述說著絲路繁華的過往；玄奘筆下的塔吉克斯坦，在印有銘文的器物上，呈現眼前……

波蘭華沙國家博物館藏中國風格的伊朗瓷盤、柬埔寨國家博物館藏銅鼓、韓國國立中央博物館藏唐三彩三足罐、日本東京國立博物館藏突線鈕銅鐸、阿曼國家博物館藏哈德拉毛語雕刻飾板……精美絕倫、風格迥異的各國藏品，引得參觀者駐足欣賞。這些精美文物充分展示了“一帶一路”沿線各國在科技、藝術領域的融合互鑒以及其交匯碰撞的廣度和深度，同時也深刻揭示了構建人類命運共同體作為世界未來發展方向的歷史必然性。

亞洲文明對話大會期間，以“文明之源 美美與共——璀璨的亞洲文明”為主題的亞洲文明聯展（文物展）也于4月至8月在國家會議中心、清華大學藝術博物館火熱開展，這些帶著文明基因的文物，會帶領大眾追溯亞洲各文明的發展歷程，展現各文明之間的對話、交流、互鑒的軌跡，推動亞洲不同民族、不同國家、不同文明之間的交流互鑒。

美食是世界流行的通用語，沒有一個人能夠拒絕味蕾發出的邀請。

5月16日傍晚，成都春熙路人潮涌動。一場名為“舌尖上的以色列”的美食推介活動正式啟動，拉開了亞洲文明對話大會成都熊貓亞洲美食節的序幕。活動現場，薩比奇煎餅、甜薯三文魚卷、香草鷹嘴豆餅、鷹嘴豆醬、以色列牛肉串等極具地方特色的美食，讓成都的“好吃嘴兒”停下了腳步。以色列飲食受歐洲、非洲和亞洲等的影響，逐漸形成了獨特多元的飲食文化。

幾天時間里，以色列、泰國、巴基斯坦、韓國、新加坡、日本、中國香港、中國澳門的代表輪番上陣，向全球美食愛好者發出盛情邀請。

四川則端出火鍋盛宴——“火鍋創意集市”，為美食尋香再添一把火。四川省火鍋協會執行會長嚴龍介紹說，火鍋本來就是中外交流的產物，“為豐富四川的火鍋，我們會從不同國家引進特色食材。”

據了解，亞洲文明對話大會期間，關于美食的盛宴同時在北京、廣州、杭州、成都展開。北京亞洲美食節以“享亞洲美食賞京城美景 品古都文化”為主題，圍繞“風味”“技藝”“器禮”三大美食文化領域，組織開展形式多樣的活動；廣州亞洲美食節以“樂享亞洲美食 品味千年花城”為口號，旨在推介廣州美食美味、傳播中華飲食文化、促進亞洲美食文明交流互鑒；杭州亞洲美食節以“以食載文 和而不同”為主題，向亞洲和世界積極展示杭州美食和杭州文化的獨特魅力；成都熊貓亞洲美食節以“食美尋香 各美其美 美美與共”為主題，突出活動的國際性、文化性、大眾性，充分展示享譽世界的川菜文化，增進各國人士對川蜀飲食文化和中華傳統文化的興趣與了解。

北京底蘊深厚，廣州豐富多彩，杭州精致婉約，成都火爆十足，四座不同的城市，呈現出了四種風味的美食文化，共同向世界展現出中華食文化的博大精深。

這一場場文化的盛宴是亞洲文明輝煌的一次集中亮相，文明的發展需要互學互鑒、殊方共享，而隨著亞洲文明不斷的對話，這樣的互鑒和共享將在未來把亞洲各國串聯在一起，共同書寫屬于每一個亞洲國家的文明。

Reviewing the long course of human history， it can be seen that the wheat breaking through the soil on Anatolian Plateau has been breeding human being just like the milk； the rice cultivated on the lands in the Yangtze River Basin by the Hemudu people has been nourishing generation after generation； and the cotton blossoming like clouds in ancient India has been encouraging people to forge ahead in the currents of history. These seeds that empower human being to realize survival and reproduction represent the early civilizations on the land of Asia.

In the world map， Asia covers 29.4% of the earth’s land mass， dubbed as the place where the sun rises. The vast continent has nourished and enriched diverse and colorful civilizations， including the longlasting Chinese civilization， the time-honored Indian civilization and the mysterious Babylonian civilization.

Asian civilizations have grown from strength to strength with the passage of time. On March 28， 2015， at the opening ceremony of Boao Forum for Asia， Chinese President Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech， addressing that China proposes that a conference of dialogue among Asian civilizations be held to provide a platform upon which we can enhance interactions among the youth， people’s groups， local communities and the media and to form a network of think-tank exchange and cooperation， so as to add to Asian people’s rich cultural life and contribute to more vibrant regional cooperation and development.

Four years later， the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations （CDAC） was held in Beijing， China. This grand event of civilizations embraced 1，352 representatives from 47 Asian countries， countries outside the region and the international organization. Under the theme of “exchanges and mutual learning among Asian civilizations and a community with a shared future”， the conference aimed to discuss the development path for Asian civilizations and draw blueprint for win-win cooperation among Asian countries.

In May， the streets of Beijing were decorated by blooming China roses and colorful flags everywhere. The logo of the conference in the shape of the peony waved in the breeze， chiming in with the beautiful flowers in full bloom along the roadsides. On May 15， the CDAC kicked off in Beijing. During the seven days， the conference had an opening ceremony and six parallel sub-forums. At the same time， Asian Culture Carnival， Asian Civilization Week and Asian Food Festival were held across the country， providing people opportunity to participate in the mutual learning of Asian civilizations.

In the evening on May 15， Asian Culture Carnival was staged at Beijing’s National Stadium， also known as the Bird’s Nest， opening the prelude of the CDAC. Through the mobile Internet， a global broadcast was realized and the audiences all over the world were impressed by this spectacular cultural carnival.

The cast included famous performers and youth representatives and world-class artists from different Asian countries. The event represented a great convergence and communication of civilizations and cultures from around the globe， and a joyful gathering of peoples and nations. It showcased the distinctive charm of the Asian civilizations and Chinese civilization through spectacular art performances， marvelous high-tech stage effects， and wonderful performances and interactions between Chinese and foreign artists and young people.

On May 16， Asian Civilization Parade， one of the major sideline events of the CDAC， started at the Olympic Park Avenue. Costumed performers from 16 countries including Bangladesh， Cambodia and India as well as 28 domestic performance teams， joined the parade. The parade gave the audience a glimpse of the unique Asian civilizations.

Following the philosophy of “dialogues between civilizations， communication platform， the Belt and Road Initiative， world harmony”， the parade showcased the panorama of Asian countries with the theme of “Asian civilization， world harmony”. It consisted of four parts： “Fascination of Chinese Ethnic Groups”， “Enchanting Asia”， “Charming China” and “Welcome to Beijing”. These activities brought the splendid Asian civilizations， colorful Chinese civilization and Beijing culture before the world. The wonderful performances won continuous applause from the audience.

The National Museum of China was thronged with visitors. The treasures housed in this modern museum shine the glint of ancient civilizations.

With the theme of “sharing a common future”， the Exhibition of Treasures from National Museums along the Silk Road unfolded the historical picture of civilization exchanges through various exhibits before the visitors. The National Museum of China， in conjunction with 12 other national museums from the countries along the Belt and Road including Cambodia， Japan， Kazakhstan， Latvia， Mongolia， Oman， Poland， ROK， Romania， Russia， Slovenia and Tajikistan， selected 234 pieces （sets） of cultural relics from different times to exhibit， aiming to provide a proof of various cultural exchanges among countries along the Silk Road.

Among the exhibits， the spearheads from the Russian Turbino Culture were unearthed in Xinjiang and Qinghai， which reflect the history of the early Russian civilization in the Bronze Age bringing nomadic culture to China. Among the Mongolian exhibits were coins from China and other countries， which provide strong evidence for the past trade along the Silk Road. The armors of the golden warriors from Kazakhstan tell stories about the past prosperity along the Silk Road. The image of Tajikistan once depicted by Xuanzang emerges with utensils bearing inscriptions.

Other exhibits included porcelain plates from the National Museum in Warsaw， the bronze drum collection of the National Museum of Cambodia， the Sancai pot of the central museum of the National Museum of ROK， and the Japanese bronze bell of the Tokyo National Museum， carved plaque of a ramawt from the National Museum of Oman， etc. These delicate collections featuring diverse styles of different countries grabbed the attention of the visitors. These exquisite cultural relics fully demonstrate the breadth and depth of the integration， mutual learning and collision of science and art among countries along the Belt and Road， and profoundly reveal the historical inevitability of building a “community of shared future for mankind”as the future development direction of the world.

During the conference， the Joint Exhibition of Asian Civilizations （Artifact Exhibition Series） features the theme of “brilliant Asian civilizations： exploring historical origins and promoting shared diversity” is held from April to August at China National Convention Center and the Tsinghua University Art Museum. With the cultural relics， it aimed at exploring the civilizations’ evolution process， reviewing their past dialogue， exchanges and mutual learning with each other， and facilitating exchanges and mutual learning among various nations， countries and civilizations across Asia.

A common bond among all nations is the love for food， and it is hard to resist the temptation of mouthwatering dishes.

In the evening of May 16， Chunxi Road of Chengdu was crowded with people walking to and fro. Here， a cuisine promotion activity “A Bite of Israel” was launched， which represented the opening of the Chengdu Panda Asian Food Festival of the CDAC. At the site， unique Israeli food and snacks， such as Sabich， sweet potato salmon rolls， vanilla chickpea cakes， hummus and beef kufta kebabs， attracted Chengdu dwellers who share love for gourmet food to sample. Influenced by Europe， Africa and Asia cuisines， Israeli food has been gradually developed with uniqueness and diversity.

In a few days， delegations from Israel， Thailand， Pakistan， ROK， Singapore， Japan and China’s Hong Kong and Macao each held the food festival， welcoming people around the world with tastes of their unique cuisines and cultures.

Sichuan， as the host， prepared a feast of hotpot—the “Hotpot Creative Market”， which enriched the cuisine festival. Yan Long， Executive Director of the Sichuan Hotpot Association noted that hotpot was originated from exchanges between China and foreign countries. “In order to enrich the contents of Sichuan hotpot， we are ready to introduce unique ingredients from different countries，” he added.

To celebrate the CDAC， except in Chengdu， the food festivals were also held in Beijing， Guangzhou and Hangzhou. With the theme of “tasting Asian delicacies， enjoying beautiful scenery of Beijing and appreciating culture of the ancient capital”， Beijing Asian Food Festival， focusing on three cuisine cultures including “tastes”， “cooking” and “utensils”， organized various activities. With the slogan of“enjoying Asian delicacies and sampling Guangzhou cuisines”， Guangzhou Asian Food Festival aimed to introduce Guangzhou cuisine， spread Chinese food culture， and promote exchanges and mutual learning among Asian food civilizations. Hangzhou Asian Food Festival， themed “embedding culture in food and seeking harmony in diversity”， showed the unique charm of Hangzhou cuisine and culture to Asia and beyond. Chengdu Panda Asian Food Festival， with the theme of “seeking delicious food and promoting uniqueness as well as shared diversity”， highlighted the international， cultural and popular features of the activity， fully displayed the world-renowned Sichuan cuisine culture， and enhanced people’s interest and understanding of Sichuan cuisine culture and traditional Chinese culture.

The four cities exhibit different features： Beijing has rich cultural heritage； Guangzhou is dubbed as a city of vitality； Hangzhou features delicacy and elegance； and Chengdu is famous for the quick temper and straightforwardness of its dwellers. Thus the gourmet food cultures these cities boast vary from each other， showcasing to the global visitors as a part of Chinese culture during the festivals.

Diverse and splendid Asian civilizations all came on stages during these grand cultural events. The development of civilizations calls for exchanges and mutual learning for an Asian community with a shared future. As the Asian civilizations keep making interactions with each other， the mutual learning and co-sharing will bound Asian countries together to jointly develop their own civilization.
