Research on the Cultural Highland Construction in Henan Province Under the Background of “One Belt and One Road” Research on the Cultural Highland Construction in Henan Province under the Background of “One Belt and one Road” Chaojie YUE Zhengzhou University of Science and Technology Abstract: With the further development of China’s economic and military strength, China is increasingly approaching the center of the world stage, and China’s image of a great power is further established in the eyes of the masses of the world. The in- troduction and implementation of “one belt and one road” has brought have brought an immeasurable positive incentive to the economic development and cultural dis- semination of China and its neighboring countries along the line. It can be said that the introduction and implementation of “one belt and one road” provides a broader platform and a more convenient opportunity for China’s development and cultural dissemination. In such a development environment, the development of all aspects of Henan Province has been greatly improved. Taking the “one belt and one road” as the main policy background, this paper puts forward a series of opinions and sugges- tions on the current construction of Henan cultural highlands. Key words: “One belt and one road”; Culture; Suggestion DOI: 10.12184/wspciWSP2516-252704.20190303 1. A Brief Introduction to the Henan Cultural Development enan, referred to as “Yu” for short, is named because it is located in the south H of the Yellow River. It is an important political, economic and cultural center in China in various historical periods and one of the cradles of Chinese culture. Known as the “Central Plains”, Henan has a long history and contains rich tradi- tional culture. From the ancient administrative center, from the earliest Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Five and ten Dynasties, each dynasty established its capital in Henan Province, until the Tang, song and Yuan Dynasties, when ethnic disputes intensified, China’s capital began to choose other provinces. It can be said that the About the author: Chaojie YUE (1980-5), male, Han, Kaifeng, Henan Province, Associ- ate Professor, Postgraduate, Chinese Language and Literature. 42 Research on the Cultural Highland Construction in Henan Province under the Background of “One Belt and One Road” origin of Chinese culture is inevitably inseparable from the “Central Plains” of Henan Province. From the cultural perspective of historical sites, behind a series of cultural heritages, such as Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Anyang Yinxu, Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Sanque in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hanguguan site, Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain, Baima Temple in Luoyang, it is the accumulation of thousands of years of Chinese culture. From the perspective of historical legends, the dragon culture and the ancestor of humanity all originated in Henan Province. From the perspective of cultural development, a series of cultures, such as surname culture, martial arts culture, Chinese character culture, farming culture and eight trigrams culture, are all history Henan people pride. In general, the development of culture in Henan Province is the first in the development and inheritance of Chinese culture, no matter from the height or from the breadth. 2. Research on Problems in Current Development of Henan Cultural Current situation of cultural development. By the end of 2017, there were 171 public art performance groups, 206 cultural centers and 158 public libraries in He- nan Province. There are 335 museums, including 52 new private and industrial museums. There are 358 national key cultural relics protection units and 1231 pro- vincial cultural relics protection units. There are 113 national intangible cultural heritage lists. The actual number of cable TV users was 10.2321 million. The com- prehensive population coverage rate of radio is 98.62%, and that of television is 98.84%. In the whole year, 271 million copies of books were published, 85 million copies of periodicals were published, and 1.815 billion copies of newspapers were published. At the end of the year, there were 177 comprehensive archives, and 4942200 volumes (pieces) of various archives had been opened. The statistics of this cultural and economic development data reflects the main problems existing in the current cultural development of Henan Province. The cultural history is long but the cultural development is weak. The proportion of cultural and economic de- velopment in the economic development of Henan Province is relatively small. There is still a long way to go to further improve the construction of cultural High- lands in Henan Province. Cultural development mode. China’s culture is extensive and profound. The 5,000-year-old ancient culture is colorful. Each culture is one of the splendid treas- ures in Chinese history. China’s cultural development should have great prospects. However, judging from the current social development, the way of communication between the world is simpler, the form of cultural expression is more open, and di- 43 Creativity and Innovation Vol.3 No.3 2019 versified cultural exchanges are common in the current development of China. A series of foreign “foreign” festivals, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, April Fool's day, are gradually increasing in popularity. On the contrary, many traditional festi- vals in China are gradually disappearing from the public's vision, such as “Laba Festival” and “Dragon Boat Festival”. The reasons causing the situation are the loss of traditional Chinese culture and the mode of the extensive and over innovative cultural development. The combination of “one belt and one road” and cultural development is not enough. On September 10, 2013, the “one belt and one road” cooperation initiative was put forward. The “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” jumped into the masses’ vision, mainly relying on the existing dual multilateral mechanisms of China and the relevant countries, with the help of existing and effective regional cooperation platform, borrowing the historical symbols of the ancient Silk Road, holding high the mechanism of peaceful development, actively developing eco- nomic cooperation partnership with the countries along the route, and jointly building a community of interests, destiny and responsibility with political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural tolerance. This is the original intention of the development of the “one belt and one road”. Chinese culture goes out and the world's culture enters. However, from the perspective of the current cultural development of Henan Province, there is less going abroad and more introduction, cultural resources are not directly proportional to the development of culture, foreign culture is introduced through the Internet, electronic technology and academic exchanges. While the channels for Chi- nese culture to go out are relatively narrow, Henan province has not grasped the de- velopment opportunity of “one belt and one road” to carry out cultural transmission in the current development. 3. How to Improve the Construction of Henan Cultural High- land Through the Development of the “One Belt and One Road” Policy. Internationalization of culture. Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and Chinese history has a long history. The development of Chinese culture plays an important role in promoting the development of world culture. It can be said that Chinese culture is a bright pearl in the long river of world culture, and Henan cul- ture is the most dazzling star in the long river of Chinese culture. We should seize the good opportunity of the “one belt and one road initiative” to spread Henan cul- ture to all parts of the world through more foreign tourists and foreign students. The internationalization of culture, like cultural heritage, is not to accept the whole 44 Research on the Cultural Highland Construction in Henan Province under the Background of “One Belt and One Road” thing, but to take its essence and remove its dross, to show a more scientific and objective image of China for all countries. We must avoid cultural conflicts and misunderstanding caused by improper cultural communication. Cultural diversity. The culture of Henan Province is excellent both in quantity and quality, which provides a solid foundation for the construction of cultural highland in Henan Province. We will show the different performances of the back- ground, reason, origin, development, communication and other stages of Henan’s diversified culture. Through cultural communication, we will show a different China to the world and a different Henan to the whole country. Cultural diversity is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The diversity of culture makes it difficult to grasp the systematization and integrity of culture. There are differences and con- nections between different cultures. Therefore, we should treat the problem of cul- tural diversity carefully and clarify the differences and connections between dif- ferent cultures. Only by truly mastering culture can we make cultural development go further. Refinement of culture. As mentioned above, cultural diversity is a rich cultural resource in Henan Province. However, in order to make better use of culture and develop culture, it is necessary to carry out scientific classification and fine re- search on diversity culture, so as to meet the cultural exploration desire of all ethnic groups in the world. For example, the martial arts culture in Henan culture, no matter from its status in the development of Chinese martial arts culture or from its international influence, is the first of the Chinese martial arts culture, is the treasure of China, is the symbol of China. We should take advantage of the east wind of the Belt and Road Initiative to carry forward this traditional culture. However, we should pay attention to the fine development of culture, and also take into account the relationship between cultural heritage, innovation, development and inheritance. We must not distort the historical facts of cultural development due to blind “output”. The clustering of culture. The clustering of culture is mainly for the cultural industry.

Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

Page 1/20 Abstract Thirteen Zhou Dynasty bronze vessels and two slags from Zongyang County along the north bank of the Yangtze River in Anhui were analyzed by LA-MC-ICP-MS and EDXRF. The results of the lead isotope analysis showed that there were two kinds of lead materials in the Zongyang bronzes. Class which could have originated from the Wannan region were mainly used in the Western Zhou and the following Spring and Autumn periods; while Class , possibly from the local mines in Zongyang County, were mainly present in the Warring States period. Such a shift in the ore material sources is also revealed by the analysis of the trace elements of the Zongyang bronzes. With reference to relevant historical documents, it can be inferred that the transformation of the bronze material sources could be related to the changes of the political situation during the Zhou Dynasty.

    Shang Beyond Anyang *2. AN JINHUAI (Henan Institute of Cultural Objects, Zhengzhou) THE SHANG CITY AT ZHENGZHOU AND RELATED PROBLEMS ABSTRACT: The Zhengzhou Shang dynasty site is the location of an early Shang city, vast in area and abundant in archaeological remains, which was discovered by Chinese archaeologists in the middle and lower Yellow River basin during the early fifties. Within the site there is a Shang dynasty rammed-earth wall extending north-south in a rectangular shape and having a circumference of 6960 meters. These are the earliest Shang wall remains discovered to date. Based on the stratigraphy and vessel types discovered in the course of excavating the four sides of the wall, it is certain that this wall is slightly later than the late Erlitou period, and that construction on it began before the lower strata of the Shang Erligang period, the "Yin Ruins" at Anyang. The discovery of the Zhengzhou Shang site was definitely not accidental. It represents an important stage in the development of ancient Chinese rammed-earth wall architecture. The method of construction places it in a contin­ uous line of development from the rammed-earth wall of the Henan area middle and late Longshan culture and the late Erlitou rammed-earth platform foundation to the rammed-earth foundations of the palaces of the Yin Ruins at Anyang. The grand scale of the Zhengzhou Shang wall, and the fact that inside and outside the wall were found palace foundations and work­ shops for the production of bronze, bone, and ceramic articles as well as numerous widespread storage pits, wells, ditches, house foundations, and tombs, and that many bronze, jade, primitive porcelain, pottery, stone, bone, and clamshell artifacts have been excavated here, including also some carved ivory pieces, pottery sculpture, and inscribed bones and pottery, lead us to conclude that the Zhengzhou Shang site was one of the early Shang capitals.

  • Lauren Ledin Anyang, China Field School 2012 Early This Summer, I
    Lauren Ledin Anyang, China Field School 2012 Early this summer, I participated in a six-week field school in China. It was a combination of training in field survey and excavation, conducting experimental archaeology, and travel to relevant archaeological sites. The first week we stayed in Beijing. During a visit to the National Museum of China we saw artifacts from the time period which we were focusing on-- the Late Shang period. This proved to be very helpful in giving us a background of information and examples of artifacts dated earlier and later than the Late Shang period. Zhoukoudian, the site of the Peking man, was our next stop in Beijing Province. Later in the week, we attended an archaeological conference and were able to join in meeting and honoring Zheng Zhenxiang, the team leader of Fu Hao's tomb excavation in Anyang. We also managed to fit in a tour of The Forbidden City and a visit to the Great Wall. Other places we traveled to included Xi’an and the surrounding areas where we saw the Terracotta Army in Lishan, the Xi’an city wall, and also the beautiful mixing of cultures at the Xi’an Mosque. Within Henan Province we ventured to a Sanmenxia museum highlighting the Western Zhou State of Guo, to the Taihang Mountains in search of sandstone sources used as abrasives in jade carving, and to the Neolithic site of Xiao Dong Nan Xue Yi Zhi. Anyang City itself is home to the National Museum of Chinese Writing, the Yin Ruins, and the Royal Cemetery, all of which we visited.
