Xinhua Commentary: Converging the Positive Energy of Sino-US Exchanges and Cooperation —— The fifth in a series of comments on promoting the return of Sino-US relations to the right track

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 13th Title: Converging the positive energy of Sino-US exchanges and cooperation — — The fifth in a series of comments on promoting the return of Sino-US relations to the right track

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Kasper 

  Not long ago, at the annual awards dinner of the National Committee on US-China Relations, the 100-year-old former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in his acceptance speech, "I have spent half my life working for US-China relations", and peaceful cooperation between the United States and China is of vital importance and is in the interests of the two countries and the world. Although Sino-US relations have encountered serious difficulties in the past, there are quite a few people who persistently maintain and promote the healthy development of Sino-US relations like Kissinger, and the forces supporting Sino-US exchanges and cooperation have never been absent. As Orens, president of the National Committee on US-China Relations, said, US-China relations have improved recently, and the non-governmental ties between the two countries remain strong. When the US-China relationship is facing challenges, we should see the "bright side" of the relationship between the two countries.

  Although China and the United States are separated by oceans, the exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and American people go back to ancient times. "the turn of the country lies in the blind date between the people." Looking back on the past, the friendly exchanges between Chinese and American people have never been interrupted, and the two peoples have also formed a deep friendship in their exchanges, which has played an important role in the development of Sino-US relations. During World War II, China and the United States fought side by side against fascism, and the story of the Flying Tigers carried the profound friendship forged by the lives and blood of the two peoples. The "ping-pong diplomacy" more than 50 years ago has been talked about so far. The sincere and friendly interaction between Chinese and American athletes has conveyed the positive message of people’s friendship, and "small balls turn big balls" has opened a new chapter in Sino-US relations. In the more than 40 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between the two countries have become more frequent and close, covering culture, education, science and technology, media, tourism, health and other fields. Since the first sister-city relationship was concluded in 1979, China and the United States have established 284 sister-city relationships. Over the past 40 years, the sister provinces and cities of the two countries have cooperated closely and achieved fruitful results, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples. History has fully proved that the people of China and the United States can completely cross the differences in system, culture and language and establish a profound friendship. The win-win non-governmental exchanges between China and the United States are not only an independent choice made by the two peoples, but also an irresistible historical trend.

  At a time when Sino-US relations are at a critical crossroads, continuous non-governmental exchanges and humanities exchanges and cooperation are particularly precious, injecting a steady stream of positive energy into the healthy development of bilateral relations. Many American executives have come to China to seek to expand cooperation; Direct flights between China and the United States have further increased; China resumed a team tour to the United States; China Jiangnan Treasure Exhibition was exhibited at Cleveland Museum of Art; The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra held a performance commemorating the 50th anniversary of its visit to China; Mulan, an American dance drama, toured in the United States & HELIP; … The more flights, freighters, tourists, students and scholars across the Pacific, the stronger the public opinion base, the broader the space and the stronger the motivation for the development of Sino-US relations. Robert lawrance kuhn, chairman of the American Kuhn Foundation, said that strengthening people-to-people exchanges is a reliable way for China and the United States to turn opportunities and common needs into positive cooperation and constructive relations. There is "no better prescription than strengthening non-governmental exchanges" to promote the stability of bilateral relations and return to the track of healthy and stable development. Kara Dillikov canales, a senior adviser to the National Art Foundation of the United States, published an article entitled "US-China relations are warming up, starting with listening to each other" in The New York Times, pointing out that in such a challenging and complicated bilateral relationship as US-China relations, people-to-people exchanges like music can build a bridge of mutual understanding.

  中美关系发展到今天,成果来之不易,值得倍加珍惜。中美都应该本着对两国人民负责任的态度,从两国人民的福祉出发,处理好、管控好、发展好两国关系,为两国人民继承和弘扬珍贵友谊遗产创造有利氛围和条件,筑牢两国友谊与合作的民意基础。中国一直鼓励中美两国各界人士以及民众之间多往来,支持地方层面在经贸、科技、教育、文化以及青年交流等广泛领域的合作。今年以来,国家主席习近平多次强调加强民间友好和人文交流对发展两国关系的重要意义,指出中美关系基础在民间,希望在人民,未来在青年,活力在地方。从在京会见美国各界人士,到向“鼓岭缘”中美民间友好论坛等活动致贺信,再到复信美国华盛顿州“美中青少年学生交流协会”、史迪威将军后人、飞虎队老兵等友好人士,习近平主席与美国各界人士多次真挚互动,推动中美民间友好续写新的篇章,为两国人民加强交流、增进理解、扩大合作注入强劲动力。

  It is hoped that the US will comply with public opinion, move in line with China and remove obstacles with actions. Recently, the "general climate" of Sino-US relations has picked up, and more and more people from all walks of life in China and the United States have encouraged and called for the expansion of exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, running around for the people of the two countries to know each other and send a positive message of Sino-US non-governmental friendship. Dan stine, chairman of the China Friendship Committee in Muscatine, Iowa, said: "When the relationship between the two countries is facing challenges, we should come to China more often to strengthen people-to-people exchanges, enhance understanding and interaction, and develop the friendship between the two peoples."

  Facing the future, the friendship between China and the United States will be passed on by the younger generation. Strengthening exchanges and mutual understanding between the younger generation of China and the United States will help them establish a more objective and rational understanding of each other, spread new hopes for Sino-US friendship, and continuously inject momentum into the development of Sino-US relations.

  Sino-US relations still face many difficulties and challenges, and there is a long way to go to stabilize and improve them. Fortunately, these fundamental folk ties from history are still there, and the positive energy to promote the development of Sino-US relations is constantly gathering. Kissinger said, "As I believed 50 years ago, we can find a way to overcome difficulties.". It is reasonable to believe that with the concerted efforts of Qi Xin from all walks of life in China and the United States, the development of bilateral relations will continue to advance in a direction that conforms to the common well-being of the two peoples.

The support of the people made the Liaoshen Campaign brilliant.


Every village has a hospital, every family is a ward, and everyone is a nurse.



Our soldiers used dry food to satisfy their hunger in the position.



Raise materials for the front line



Farmers’ children gloriously joined the army and went to the front.



Migrant workers urgently transport the wounded.



  At a critical juncture, the Northern Liaoning Provincial Party Committee organized 400 camels and a large number of manpower from Tongliao to deliver ammunition and oil needed by the attacking troops in time.



The peasants turned over and formed a mighty army of stretchers to go to the front.


  In the fierce battle, the soldiers sometimes can’t eat or drink water, so the local people braved the gunfire and sent food and water to the front positions; The enemy poured a large number of artillery shells into our position, and the ground exploded several feet deep. With the strong support of the militia and the masses, the position was recovered, and the fortifications were destroyed and repaired … Chen Yi, the former political commissar of the logistics department of the Northeast Field Army, once fondly recalled: "The victory of the Liaoshen campaign cannot be separated from the support of the people."


  The Battle of Liaoshen was a huge battle in the northeast battlefield in September and October of 1948, and it was also the last battle to liberate the whole northeast and wipe out the Kuomintang troops in the northeast. This campaign lasted for 52 days. On the 800-kilometer-long north-south front between Changchun, Shenyang, Jinzhou and Liaoxi Corridor, our million-strong army wiped out 470,000 Kuomintang troops and liberated the whole northeast after several major battles in Jinzhou, Liaoxi and Shenyang. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Liaoning’s liberation, the reporter in shenyang military area command Logistics History Museum deeply realized the profound meaning that "the people must rely on the people to win the people’s war" through historical pictures and detailed descriptions of the lecturers.


  "We will support what the troops need."


  According to Xu Wentao, director of the shenyang military area command Logistics History Museum, on the eve of the Liaoshen Campaign, the Northeast Bureau, the Northeast Administrative Committee and the provincial party and government organs made a thorough study and deployment of the work before the support, and timely issued instructions to mobilize the people to support the war. In the whole campaign, according to incomplete statistics, 1.83 million migrant workers, 137,000 stretchers and 129,000 carts were used to transport 55 million kilograms of grain and food. In the mighty army of supporting the front, there are migrant workers in the base areas of North Manchuria, West Manchuria and South Manchuria who have been tested by many battles, standing migrant workers in northern Liaoning and Hebei Chare Liaoning who have been producing and supporting the front for a long time in a war environment, turned-over farmers who have just been allocated land in the newly recovered areas, and heroic models who have been neutral and won awards in the past. They carried stretchers, drove carts, entrusted by the villagers, and with the belief that "all efforts should be made to support the front line and everything should be done to win the decisive battle", they devoted themselves to arduous and intense pre-support activities.


  Xu Wentao pointed to the picture and told the touching stories behind it emotionally. In order to ensure the victory of attacking Jin, our army fought bravely and tenaciously in Tashan, blocking the enemy who was advancing westward to aid Jin. The terrain in Tashan area is high for the enemy and low for us, and our positions are completely within the range of enemy artillery fire. In order to help the troops build fortifications, the people around Tashan Village immediately took action and removed their own door panels, and some even removed the edge of the kang and the cover of the cabinet. An old poor farmer also offered three materials buried underground. The masses said, "We will support whatever the troops need." The local government organized the masses to quickly send a large amount of wood, rails, sorghum stalks and other materials raised from all directions to Tashan positions. More than 200 villagers, soldiers and the masses in Tashan also helped the troops build a traffic trench with a length of more than 8,000 meters from Fishing Mountain in the east to Baitai Mountain in the west. In the midst of gunfire and smoke, the stretcher workers of the two battalions not only rescued the wounded in operation, but also worked hard for three days and nights to help the troops build fortifications. In order to reduce the pain of the wounded, every time migrant workers receive a task, no matter how dangerous or tired, they try their best to transport it in time to ensure safety. The stretcher bearers of Xintaimen Transfer Station in Jinxi County (now Huludao City) are responsible for transferring the wounded to Pigeon Cave, which travels more than 80 miles every day and transports more than 900 wounded for 8 consecutive days, so that the wounded can be treated in time. There were 140 wounded people in Huangtukan village, and they needed to be transported urgently. At that time, there was a shortage of manpower. The cadres of 21 villages immediately dispatched and worked in pieces, and completed the task in only one day and one night.


  Zhao Decai, former stationmaster of Qinghemen Military Station of the Logistics Department of the Northeast Field Army, said that there are countless touching stories in the war-torn battlefield. An old woman named Mu Wenzhen saw that a platoon leader with big feet in our army had no shoes to wear. She tied a wooden board to her feet for shoes, and her feet were all bloody. After she went home, she stayed up all night, hiding from gunfire under the kang, and rushed out a pair of shoes for the platoon leader. The platoon leader was very excited and said, "I will live up to my old woman’s wishes, severely attack the enemy, and repay the people’s care!" In Tashan village, a mother Zhou died on the battlefield in order to send water to the soldiers. With the full support of the people, our army fought bloody battles in Tashan for six days and nights to resist the repeated attacks of nine enemy divisions, so that the enemy could not move forward in front of Tashan. Lin Weichou, commander of the 62nd Kuomintang Army, had to sigh that it was a miracle to find so much wood and build such a complete position in just over 10 days, when he saw that fortresses were scattered all over the position, obstacles and traffic trenches were criss-crossing, and Abatis, stakes and barbed wire, which were difficult to pass through even without defense.


  Once the chatterbox is opened, it can no longer be closed. Zhao Decai went on to say that after the victory of the attack on Jin, our army moved northward and launched a panic-stricken war in western Liaoning. When I stopped the troops and rushed to Montenegro, there were a lot of people outside the city, mules and horses hissed and wheels rolled, thousands of people had already waited at the street intersection, and carts were loaded with all kinds of equipment. Many people with shovels, pickaxes and other tools are ready to rush to various positions with the troops. Witnessing the enthusiasm of the masses before leaving the army, the cadres and soldiers in the army were full of blood and confidence. There is a 101 highland on the sniper position, which is a stone bald ridge. It is very difficult to repair the fortifications in a short time. Migrant workers and fellow villagers immediately carried bags full of earth and stone, swarmed and swarmed, and the 101 highland suddenly became a sea of people, and the Stone Mountain soon became a solid fighting fortress. During the battle, the masses sent water and food to the position one after another. Migrant workers timely rescue the wounded, transport ammunition, and women and the elderly care for the wounded. There are more than 400 cadres and people in Heishan County in Xiawazi, Baitaizi, Santaizi and Highland 101, which are fiercely contested, and they have given their precious lives to support our army in stopping the enemy.


  On the day of the battle of Jinzhou, the eight columns that attacked Kam marched eastward and arrived at Goubangzi that night. When the Goubangzi District Government learned that 500 military stretchers were urgently needed for the troops to participate in the battle to panic in the Liao Yaoxiang Corps and attack Shenyang, the district government cadres immediately mobilized overnight and completed the task overnight.


  A farmer in Wendilou Township, Jinxian County (now named Linghai City) took out all the 11 stones of grain collected by himself and his relatives and friends, led his younger brother and son to grind the rice day and night, and rushed the donkeys to the front line bag by bag. Naiman Banner is more than 500 miles away from Montenegro and Beizhen, and the local people simply use ox carts to deliver 1 million kilograms of grass needed for the front line to their destination on time.


  "Where the People’s Liberation Army hits, the railway will be repaired and the train will go!"


  "The Liaoshen campaign has passed for decades, and the past is still vivid. The sacrifices and contributions made by employees in Northeast guangtong-dali railway to ensure the victory of the decisive battle have made me unforgettable. " In front of the picture of General Lv Zhengcao, the former director of Northeast Railway Administration, Xu Wentao recounted this passage written by Lv Zhengcao when he recalled the railway transportation in Liaoshen Campaign.


  Then, curator Xu explained to the reporter. At the beginning of the Northeast Liberation War, guangtong-dali railway workers had just been liberated from the slavery of Japanese imperialism. Under the leadership of the party, they carried forward a high sense of responsibility as masters, fought day and night, overcame various difficulties such as lack of equipment and food, repaired railways and revived locomotives and vehicles. With the smooth progress of the Northeast Liberation War, the railway lines in the liberated areas have been gradually extended and played an increasingly important role. In order to speed up the victory of the war of liberation, the railway staff put forward: "Where the PLA hits, the railway will be built and the train will go!" Before the Liaoshen Campaign, the Northeast Liberated Area received and repaired more than 5,700 kilometers of railways, with a mileage of 9,818 kilometers, accounting for 98% of the mileage of the whole Northeast, and repaired 885 locomotives, which laid a solid foundation for supporting the war.


  General Lv Zhengcao, who knew all about the railway transportation during the whole campaign, once recalled that after the Liaoshen campaign began, the Kuomintang troops in Northeast China were surrounded by our troops in three isolated areas, Changchun, Shenyang and Jinzhou, but their ability to destroy our transportation lines from the air was still very strong, which made it more difficult for me to complete the logistics transportation task.


  In the tense military transportation, railway workers and their families often risk their lives to repair damaged lines and equipment. Often, just after the enemy plane flew away, the fire did not go out, the smoke did not disperse, and some bombs dropped by the enemy did not explode, railway workers and their families rushed to the scene, lifting rails, carrying sleepers, picking sand, filling craters and laying lines. The flight attendants of the special transport team organized by Beian, Qiqihar, Angangxi, Baichengzi, Harbin, Jilin and other rear locomotive depots didn’t say anything about where to go or what to do when bidding farewell to their parents and wives. They just said, "It’s a long trip, don’t worry about it" and picked up their lunch boxes and left. Many extraordinary deeds were created by these ordinary railway workers and their families: the locomotive was broken, the driver was carrying brake shoes on his head, and braved enemy planes to shoot and rush to repair it; On the way, the locomotive fuel caught fire, and the flight attendant risked his life, squatting on the brace at the bottom of the locomotive and filling the axle box with hard oil; The stove bar was broken, so they put the straw bag on their bodies and got into the ash box to repair it. Some campers were damaged, and the flight attendants rested on the roof of the coal water. In the late autumn night in Northeast China, the wind is biting, but the railway workers hold the firm belief that "everything is for the front line and everything is for victory" to overcome the cold and frost and overcome many difficulties.


  Jinzhou is the hub of Beining Line, and the throat leading northeast to Guannei. In order to concentrate on conquering Jinzhou, our army decided to deploy two more columns from Changchun and Shenyang to participate in the battle on the Beining Line. At this moment, the arms train to Jinzhou front was bombed continuously, and even the cars carrying arms were bombed, and the troops attacking Jinzhou were in urgent need of ammunition supplement. In late September, the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army decided to organize a secret arms train in Ang Ang Creek-3005 times, which was transported to Xifuxin Station before the reinforcements of Shenyang Kuomintang came out. Sixteen comrades of the crew of the 3005 train risked being bombed by enemy planes at any time, and the general listed them on September 28. Along the way, with the support of the masses, we fought bravely with enemy planes, overcame many difficulties and broke through layers of obstacles. After four days and nights of operation, we finally arrived at Darcy Fuxin Station at 4: 46 a.m. on October 20, and delivered the ammunition that the commanders and men were eagerly waiting for in time.


  In October, the Kuomintang army in Northeast China felt that the end was coming, and sent planes to bombard Cangtu, Xinlitun, Paozi, Zhangwu, Tongliao, Zhengjiatun and other stations on my western line in an attempt to cut off my transportation line. On October 1, the Liuhe Bridge was damaged and the transportation was paralyzed. At this critical juncture, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the line, the railway employees, their families and the railway column soldiers worked hard to repair it that night. After a night of fighting, the temporary bridge was set up, and it passed through the military ranks twice day and night, and passed through the military ranks four times day and night, creating an amazing miracle.


  Wang Shixin, a veteran of the former Northeast Field Army, recalled that after our army completed the deployment of encircling Jin Dayuan in Northeast China, the Liao Yaoxiang Corps, which was holed up in Shenyang, formed the "Westward Corps" to invade Xinmin in an attempt to solve the siege of Jinzhou. After Liao Yaoxiang Corps left Shenyang, an enemy cavalry rushed to Cangtu Station. Seeing that the station was destroyed, they searched everywhere for tools for repair. The enemy caught Shi Yunpu, a road maintenance worker in Cangtu Road Maintenance Work Area, and asked him where all the tools were. He said that they were taken away by the retreating people. The enemy insisted that he was hiding and forced him to hand over his tools. If he doesn’t pay, the enemy will fight. The old worker was beaten all over, spitting blood, and insisted that he didn’t. The enemy was so angry that he pointed a bayonet at Shi Yunpu’s chest and threatened him. The old worker was fearless in the face of a strong enemy and would rather die than pay. After the enemy fled, when our comrades came back, Shi Yunpu dug up his buried tools to repair the line for everyone, and Cangtu Station was soon opened to traffic. Under the bombardment and strafing of enemy planes, the telephone operator in Zhangwu Electric Power Station still kept working and kept the telephone open. Three girls, Li Guilan, Che Xi ‘e and Li Tingxia, insisted on working at the exchange desk. The oldest of them is 21 years old and the youngest is only 14 years old. These three girls stayed at their posts day and night and didn’t take off their headphones for more than ten days. I don’t know how many times the telephone line was blown off, but the electricians risked their lives to connect again and again. I don’t know how many places the telephone exchange has moved, but the communication has never been interrupted.


  At the end of the visit, Xu Wentao told reporters emotionally that during the Liaoshen campaign, railway workers and former migrant workers cooperated with the troops to transport more than 19,000 wagons to the front line, which made incalculable contributions to ensuring the victory of the decisive battle. The great contributions and heroic achievements of the broad masses in Northeast China to the People’s Liberation War will never go down in history.

Playing table tennis has many benefits, such as strengthening the brain and protecting the eyes.

Table tennis is a "national sport" and an exercise "artifact" for people of all ages. Research shows that students’ eyesight has improved obviously after participating in table tennis training. Table tennis can also improve reaction ability and flexibility, which is beneficial to the heart, lungs, waist, shoulders and cervical vertebrae.

First, safety. Compared with other ball games, table tennis is light and fast, and the physical damage caused to the opponent after bouncing is almost zero. Football and basketball, which have direct physical confrontation, are more likely to hurt people. Therefore, table tennis is suitable for all ages.

Second, protect your eyes. Ping-pong balls come and go fast, and the landing point is near or far, or left or right. To judge accurately, the eyes must keep a close eye on the ball and the brain must judge at high speed, which has a good effect on adjusting vision. Primary and middle school students with heavy schoolwork often play table tennis, which can effectively improve the function of ciliary muscles and prevent myopia.

Third, strengthen the brain. It is helpful to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, delay cerebral arteriosclerosis in the elderly and maintain thinking and memory.

Fourth, strong body. Playing table tennis is aerobic exercise, which can exercise cardiopulmonary function and visceral system and improve basal metabolism.

Fifth, reduce rigidity. Playing table tennis can exercise the muscles that support the balance of the body, move the parts that are usually motionless, and relieve the symptoms of back pain or stiff shoulders. Although playing table tennis has many benefits, there are also taboos, especially for the elderly, we should pay attention to the following points:

Exercise fully and turn around to warm up. Wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and other joints should be fully active before playing ball. Playing table tennis is the same as playing tennis, and there are many turns, so it is necessary to warm up by turning.

Calm down and control the intensity. Middle-aged and elderly people can also play table tennis, but it is best to focus on fitness and play less games, not to mention being upset because of winning or losing at one time. People with poor heart function should pay special attention to it regardless of strength.

Pay attention to the surroundings, deduct less and prevent more. The playing field should be smooth and free of obstacles, and be careful not to hit the back wall or baffle when hitting the ball backwards. Old people should defend more, smash less, and don’t save the ball too actively to avoid injury. ▲

I’ve lied to you for too long about these six women’s physiological knowledge!

As a girl, I must have heard these "proverbs":

Massage can breast enlargement.

Dysmenorrhea can’t take painkillers.

Virgins bleed for the first time.

……

And these words are regarded as "truth"

Actually, it’s all-Cheat! People! Yes!

Massage can breast enlargement.

The chest can be felt big, why do women spend a lot of money on breast augmentation?

The reason is simple, this free "touch" can’t make the chest bigger.

The size of the chest is purely a matter of life!

Excessive massage increases the risk of breast lesions.

Be careful when the chest doesn’t get bigger, but people are in the hospital.

Dysmenorrhea can’t take painkillers.

The first thing to understand is that ibuprofen is the painkiller for dysmenorrhea.Belonging to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugsThis medicine is not addictive.

Addictive painkillers are opioids, which are prescription drugs and will not be sold in pharmacies at all.

Secondly, dysmenorrhea usually lasts for 1~2 days.

Taking a few painkillers won’t have any big impact on your body.

Therefore, don’t endure dysmenorrhea.

A painkiller will make your stomach feel better.

Virgins bleed for the first time.

The scientific name of hymen is called "vaginal flap", which is a connective tissue with holes in itself.

Some of these holes are big, some are small, and their elasticity is different.

Generally speaking,The younger the woman, the thicker the vaginal flap will be, and the elasticity will naturally be poor.At this time, if you have sex, you are more vulnerable to injury and bleeding.

In ancient times, because women got married earlier, the situation of "falling red at the first night" would be widespread.

However, with the increase of age, the hymen will gradually become thinner and its elasticity will increase.Having sex doesn’t necessarily cause vaginal valve breakage and bleeding.

Gynecological diseases are caused by disorderly life.

Admittedly, some gynecological diseases are caused by sexual life.

But having sex and disorderly living are not the same thing!

Even women with a single partner may increase the risk of gynecological diseases if they are not cleaned beforehand, or if their male partner’s foreskin is too long (which is easy to hide germs and dirt).

And sex life is not the only way to get gynecological diseases.

Even without sex,It is possible for viruses and bacteria to invade the reproductive system because of low immunity., causing gynecological diseases.

After giving birth, you won’t have dysmenorrhea.

90% of dysmenorrhea belongs to primary dysmenorrhea.

Only dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis can be relieved after childbirth.

So this method is not effective for everyone.

Relieving dysmenorrhea should not be considered as a "welfare" for having children.

Washing is healthier.

The animation is from SOOGIF.

The truth of gynecological lotion is"The more you wash, the worse it gets.".

There are flora beneficial to human body in vagina, and bactericidal and bacteriostatic products can also kill them, which will kill friendly bacteria by mistake!

In the long run,The balance of vaginal flora is destroyed, and instead of being sick, it is washed out..

The correct way to clean private parts is to scrub with water.

You don’t need to fix anything fancy.

How many girls are deceived by these "pseudo-common sense"?

Now it is time to restore the truth!

Welcome everyone to forward the circle of friends and let more people know that they have been cheated!

The ancient capital culture with a long history is the root and background of the capital culture. Yin Yong, Mayor of Beijing, said that in recent years, Beijing has paid attention to the protection and utilization of historical and cultural resources around the masses.

A comprehensive distinction between "culture" and "civilization"

Authors: Wang Ruliang, Hou Chuanwen (School of History, Nanjing University, College of Literature, Qingdao University)

Culture and civilization are two important categories in the field of humanities and social sciences, and they are also a pair of terms with similarities and differences and complicated relations. There have always been different views on the connotation and extension of the two and the relationship between them, or different perspectives, or positions first, and no relatively consistent and clear understanding has been formed. The author tries to distinguish it from a comprehensive perspective.

Definition: broad sense and narrow sense

From the perspective of etymology, the original meaning of "culture" is cultivation and farming. Compared with nature, everything created by human processing belongs to culture. Therefore, one of the most extensive definitions of culture is "culture is humanization", which means all human activities and their achievements. Taylor, a British cultural anthropologist, put forward in his book Primitive Culture that "culture or civilization, in its broad ethnological sense, is a complex whole including knowledge, faith, art, morality, law, customs and the abilities and habits acquired by anyone as a member of society". He regards culture and civilization as synonyms and refers to them as the overall achievement of human activities.

Culture in a broad sense can be divided into material, system, custom, spirit and other levels: material culture refers to the results created by manual labor; Institutional culture, including macro-level laws and regulations, administrative system and micro-level rules and regulations; Custom culture refers to customs, traditions and practices that have been established and passed down from generation to generation; Spiritual culture refers to the achievements of human spiritual activities with literature, history, philosophy, ethics, religion and aesthetics as the main connotations. Culture in a narrow sense mainly refers to human spiritual activities and their achievements, which is the fourth level in the above broad understanding. Marxism holds that "a certain culture is the ideological reflection of politics and economy in a certain society", and regards culture as a certain ideological form, that is, it belongs to a narrow understanding.

The word "civilization" originated from the ancient Latin civis and civilis, its original meaning is urban residents, and it is extended to the citizenship of the Romans, which means that it is superior to the living conditions of foreigners at that time, especially barbarians, so "civilization" is relative to "savage" or "primitive". However, the evolution and use of "civilization" in later generations are far more complicated. Fukuzawa Yukichi, a modern Japanese enlightenment thinker, pointed out: "The meaning of civilization can be interpreted in a broad sense and a narrow sense. In a narrow sense, it is simply to increase the material needs of human beings by manpower or to increase the appearance decoration of food, clothing and shelter. If interpreted in a broad sense, it is not only to pursue the enjoyment of food, clothing and shelter, but also to inspire Xiu De and raise mankind to a noble realm. " That is to say, the narrow sense of civilization is limited to the development in the material field, while the broad sense of civilization includes the development in the material field and the progress in the spiritual field. In his understanding, man is a senior life pursuing meaning, and naturally he should not be satisfied with food and clothing for a while; Civilization is dynamic, and awakening, independence and civilization are the only way for a nation to achieve civilization. In the context of China, the word "civilization" is often understood in its broad sense. For example, the Encyclopedia of China (Philosophical Volume) interprets civilization as the sum of material and spiritual achievements of human beings in transforming the world, and the History of Chinese Civilization edited by Yuan Xingpei also decomposes civilization into three aspects in its general introduction: material civilization, political civilization and spiritual civilization.

Relationship: diachronic and synchronic

From the diachronic point of view, "civilization" is the product of the development of culture to a certain stage, and the two have their own priorities. In a broad sense, culture is humanization. Since people came into being, there has been conscious or unconscious cultural creation, but not since people came into being. In this sense, civilization is a concept that represents the evolution of human history, as opposed to the uncivilized and barbaric cultural state. This can also be derived from the western etymology of the two: the root of culture, whose original meaning is farming, originated from the early agricultural production mode of human beings, and the root of civilization, whose original meaning is urban and civil, originated from the urban life that appeared in the later period of human beings.

The discussion on the symbol of civilization mainly focuses on the following aspects: politically, there are large urban settlements, magnificent public buildings, obvious class division of residents and the formation of a country; Economically, there is a developed social division of labor and commodity exchange, a relatively fixed tax system or a regular tribute system; Ideologically, there are relatively unified religious beliefs of the whole nation, including objects of worship and sacrificial ceremonies; In culture and education, there are the use of words and the development of science and technology, and there are some forms of schools. Only a society with the above symbols and characteristics in culture can be considered as a civilized society. In other words, the formation of a civilized society needs the accumulation and breakthrough of culture and special conditions and opportunities; Civilization is the result of human beings’ transformation of nature, society and themselves to a certain extent, and it is an advanced stage of cultural development.

From a synchronic point of view, there are two main types of understanding of the relationship between them at present. In the first category, the two are regarded as synonyms, which are interlinked and cross-cutting, and can be broadly understood as human activities and their achievements, either undifferentiated or biased. The former is like Taylor’s understanding in Primitive Culture, and the latter is like Qian Mu’s point of view, "Generally civilized culture refers to the life of human groups. Civilization is on the outside, which belongs to the material aspect. Cultural bias is a spiritual aspect. " The second category regards civilization as an aggregate that embodies cultural identity and classifies cultures. Huntington, an American scholar, thinks in The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order that "a civilization is the most extensive cultural entity … civilization is the highest cultural classification of people and the widest range of people’s cultural identity". This view is more representative in international academic circles, such as The Decline of the West by Bingler, Historical Research by Toynbee, and The Rise of the West-The History of Human Community by McNeill. Huntington took religion as the main symbol to define different civilizations, and divided the world after the Cold War into eight civilizations: Christian civilization, Confucian civilization, Islamic civilization, Japanese civilization, Indian civilization, Orthodox civilization, Latin American civilization and African civilization. This is similar to the four major cultural circles in the world: European and American cultural circles with Christian culture as the main body, East Asian cultural circles with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the main body, South Asian cultural circles with Hinduism and Buddhism as the main body, and West Asian and North African cultural circles with Islamic culture as the main body. Comparatively speaking, "cultural circle" has been replaced by "civilization" in appellation.The number has expanded from four to many, and the same thing is that religion is the dividing standard.

Application: subjective and objective

Culture and civilization are objective academic terms, which do not reflect specific value judgments. However, in the process of practical application, it is often artificially subjective, and the more representative ones are "culture-centered theory" and "civilization superiority theory".

Cultural-centered theory takes "self" culture as the center, and holds that self-culture’s beliefs, values, lifestyles and behavioral norms are superior to "other" culture. It may be generated and used between different cultural groups, different cultural categories and different cultural regions within the same civilization, and it may also be generated and used between different civilizations. The former is like Huaxia centralism in ancient China, and the latter is like Western centralism in modern times. The theoretical point of the latter is that after the Enlightenment, bourgeois revolution and industrial revolution, western culture is more advanced and developed than the East in politics, economy, science and technology, representing historical progress and inevitability.

In view of all kinds of cultural centralism, in the second half of the 20th century, the debate between cultural universalism and cultural relativism arose all over the world. Cultural universalism holds that the truth and value of human beings are universal and absolute, and human cultures have similar goals, unified values and common laws of development, which will surely be unified under the leadership of advanced and advanced cultures. Cultural relativism is the result of reflection on deconstructing cultural universalism and facing multicultural phenomena. It emphasizes that each culture has heterogeneity and independence that other cultures cannot share. Therefore, culture is relative and cannot be compared according to a unified model. The author believes that culture has both universality and relativity. Universality is the commonality of human culture, and relativity is the individuality of various cultures. Only by recognizing the commonness of culture and respecting the individuality of culture can we break away from the stereotype of cultural centralism.

The theory of superiority of civilization is a subjective argument that advocates that one’s own civilization is superior to other civilizations in history or reality. In history, the most representative is the "white superiority theory" based on racial differences. Morgan pointed out in "Ancient Society": "Aryans and Sumerians were the first to break away from the civilized state among all branches of human beings … These two groups were essentially the founders of civilization." Because Aryans and semu are both white, some westerners draw the conclusion that white people created civilization earlier, and then form the theory of white superiority. In fact, the four ancient civilizations in the East were all multi-racial, and the yellow race, black race and white race all participated in the creation of civilizations. In reality, the most representative is the theory of stagnation of eastern civilization, which is another form of the theory of superiority of western civilization. Its main point is that the eastern civilization, which has tended to be patterned and stereotyped in philosophy, literature, education and other fields since modern times, has been in a state of stagnation and needs to be stimulated and saved by the western civilization, which has been constantly reborn and developed sharply. This argument became an excuse for colonialists to invade and expand. For example, Fukuzawa Yukichi once advocated the war of aggression against China as a "war of civilization".

In this regard, in 1853, Marx put forward the scientific conclusion of colonialism’s dual mission in two articles: British rule in India and the future result of British rule in India. "Britain has to complete its dual mission in India: one is to destroy the old Asian society; The other is the mission of reconstruction, that is, to lay a material foundation for a western-style society in Asia. " In other words, the colonialists "acted as an unconscious tool of history" while doing all the bad things. This is the dialectics of history, not the so-called victory of superior civilization.

In a word, culture and civilization need to distinguish between broad and narrow meanings according to specific contexts. The relationship between them can be analyzed from the synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The theory of cultural center and the theory of civilization superiority are the results of the subjective application of these two concepts, which should be clearly understood.
