From working together to protect cultural heritage, strengthening museum exchanges, and deepening university cooperation, the cultural exchange and cooperation between China and Central Asia are showing great vitality. On the 22nd, at the "Silk Road Transmission: China Central Asia Media Think Tank Cooperation and Urban Civilization Dialogue Forum" held in Astana, Kazakhstan, government officials, think tank scholars, and media professionals from multiple countries believed that strengthening cultural exchanges between regions is an effective way to promote people to people connectivity between China and Central Asian countries. Vladimir Paramonov, Director of the Coordination and Methods Center for Modern and Contemporary History of Uzbekistan at the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, believes that academic research has fundamental significance for the relationship between Central Asian countries and China. "Politics, energy, security, and social fields are the main directions that can be covered in future research," said Danyar Kurbanov, Director of the Department of Central Asian International Studies at the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences. The Confucius Institute in Tashkent has been established for over 20 years. Humanistic cooperation is an important area of cooperation between Ukraine and China, and both sides are expected to strengthen cooperation in education, science, tourism and cultural exchanges, talent cultivation, and Chinese language teaching. In recent years, the media, think tanks, and universities have actively promoted cultural exchanges between China and foreign regions. Communication University of China held a "Workshop on Understanding Chinese path to modernization", inviting foreign experts working in universities and overseas youth to "understand China" through round table dialogues, field research and other ways; Northwest A&F University organizes students from Central Asian countries to visit rural areas in China and learn how grassroots communities serve farmers... Zhou Ting, Executive Dean of the Regional and National Communication Research Institute at Communication University of China, said that cultural exchanges are more infectious and penetrating in terms of being close to life and authentic local contexts, and local practices are providing the freshest soil for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. As a university think tank, we will continue to promote 'internationalization of local experience' and 'localization of international understanding', so that cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries can not only occur in big cities, but also extend to grassroots levels such as counties and townships, "said Zhou Ting. The starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an, has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Cities along the Silk Road, such as Almaty and Samarkand, are also historic cities. There is broad cooperation space between cities in joint archaeology, joint exhibitions, and joint interpretation of cultural heritage values. Professor Li Qian from Xi'an University of Administration said that she looks forward to young artists, designers, and students from different countries jointly interpreting the spirit and heritage value of the Silk Road. The value of cultural heritage lies not in locking down warehouses, but in illuminating the future. Recently, a variety of local cultural exchange activities were held in Astana: at the "Chang'an Night" cultural exchange event, the intangible cultural heritage exhibition in the ancient Chinese capital Xi'an left a deep impression on Chinese and foreign guests; At the "Bronze and Gold: Dialogue of Civilizations" event, bronze artifacts from Baoji, China, had a live "dialogue" with the Kazakh cultural relic "Golden Man", allowing people to marvel at the power of cultural integration. For thousands of years, China and the people of Central Asian countries have jointly created the glory of the ancient Silk Road. Nowadays, the path of friendly cooperation that has lasted for thousands of years is continuing to write a new chapter of cultural exchange. (New Society)
