Tell a good Chinese story - literature and art become China's "soft power"

Since ancient times, literature and art have always been the highest realm of people's spiritual pursuit. The forms of expression of literature and art are diverse, which can be expressed in every sentence, every action, every picture, and every literary work. There are many representative literary and artistic works both at home and abroad, such as The Painting of Beautiful Women by Tang Bohu, a famous Chinese painter, the American Statue of Liberty, and the Smile of the Mona Lisa, a famous Italian artist. China has a long cultural history. The Forbidden City in Beijing, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an, and various literary and artistic works created by contemporary artists have left a strong mark on the world, pushing Chinese literature and art to the world, letting the world know China, and letting China communicate with the world through literature and art.

We often say that science knows no borders. In fact, literature and art can also transcend the borders of countries and nations and have universal universality: world literature has inspired Chinese literature, and conversely, Chinese excellent literature should naturally be shared by the people of the world. With the progress of science and technology and the development of civilization, culture has been integrated with economy, politics and all aspects of social life, and has become an important factor that directly affects the level of national economic and social development. Cultural soft power is increasingly becoming an important part of the overall national strength, playing a pivotal role in international competition. Therefore, literary and artistic workers should tell a good story about China, spread the Chinese voice, interpret the Chinese spirit, and show the Chinese style, so that foreign people can deepen their understanding of China and enhance their understanding of China by appreciating the works of Chinese writers and artists. We should promote China's excellent culture and art to the world, let foreign people feel the charm in the aesthetic process, and deepen their understanding of Chinese culture.

The new era and new journey are the historical orientation of contemporary Chinese literature and art. People with culture can better condense their minds; It is easier to communicate with the world through art. Only by promoting the leapfrog development of the cultural industry and forming the backbone cultural enterprises and well-known cultural brands with international competitiveness and influence can we better spread our cultural values and improve the national cultural soft power.

Therefore, for the vast number of literary and artistic workers in today's society, we should base ourselves on China, tell good stories about China, shape more images of Chinese culture that are recognized by the world, try to show a vivid and three-dimensional China, and write a new chapter in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The National Museum takes you through ancient and modern history -- thousands of "national treasures" from home and abroad

Recently, the National Museum of History has exhibited 1700 pieces of "national treasures" at home and abroad, covering an area of nearly 6000 square meters, using the four exhibition halls of South 6, 7, 8 and 9, as well as the preface hall, the south three floor platform and the corridor public area. They include Han Xizai's Night Banquet, Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, Women's History Proverbs, Hairpin Ladies, Night White, Five Cattle, Lucky Crane, and so on. Besides, they also moved the five Chinese grottoes listed in the World Cultural Heritage List and among the eight largest grottoes in the world to an indoor exhibition.

This exhibition consists of three parts, namely, "protection from generation to generation", "eternal immortality and universal treasure" and "innovation and transformation into a boundless realm". It presents the rich achievements of ancient Chinese painting reflected in the "Chinese painting system of previous dynasties" by means of images, words, videos, new media and other diversified display techniques.

The centralized appearance of more than 1700 published proof files of fine paintings of previous dynasties is a gathering of domestic collections and the "national treasures" of Chinese paintings scattered around the world, allowing the "national treasures" to go home in this way.

In the past, our exhibitions were scattered, so we couldn't see the works collected overseas. It is precisely because of the project team of "The Painting Series of Chinese Past Dynasties" that we can focus on the paintings of the same dynasty, the same school, the same painter and the same theme that are collected in different places in the exhibition.

The traditional culture has become "alive" and entered the history of Chinese painting based on works, which not only brings the public closer to tradition, but also makes us feel the charm of art+technology.
