文佳茗

After three years of waiting， we finally ushered in the 31st SummerUniversiade. Whether it was the brilliant fireworks or the cute Rongbao at theopening ceremony， both of them left a deep impression on me with the culturalexport.

As an international event， you could easily discover countless culturalelements repeated throughout. For example， the Sun God Bird and Shu Brocade?related to Sichuan. Rongbao， which is based on the image of a panda，also clearly symbolizes China. Overall， the whole event highlighted theChinese culture and created a grand spectacle at the mean time.

So， what exactly are we trying to express to foreigners？ First， corevalues play a main role. Including traditions， Olympic spirits， coresocialist values and even more， all of them stand for the culture of China.Second， folk and history are always the focus of foreigners. Last but notleast， Chinese aesthetic inside the whole ceremony fully shows Chinesefeatures.

But do you wonder： what is the cultural export to China？ First， Chinacan show the strength of itself to other countries. Meanwhile， increasingcultural exchanges are also an important part of national soft power. So，it can gradually make more countries understand us， approve us andeven work with us internationally. As a result， the international positionof China will enhance and China may have a greater voice in differentaspects.

Ingeneral，theopening ceremony of the31st Summer Universiaderevealed cultural exportto the fullest. In the longterm， it may bring usgreater benefits.
