[00:03.83]The above drawings vividly reflect celebrations
[00:09.36]of the Spring Festival. Compared with putting up couplets,
[00:13.62]making dumplings and children receiving money from elders,
[00:17.51]the traditional customs that have been observed
[00:20.52]for thousands of years,
[00:22.04]watching the Spring Festival Gala is a novelty,
[00:25.14]which has been incorporated into the joyful atmosphere.
[00:29.28]It seems to me that the message the painter
[00:32.44]intends to convey is not limited to
[00:35.27]the Spring Festival celebration;
[00:37.32]it is also about inheritance and innovation of
[00:41.06]our fine traditional culture, to be exact.
[00:44.05]It is essential that we hold a dialectical attitude
[00:47.74]toward the issue. For one thing,
[00:50.01]abandoning the heritage left by our ancestors,
[00:53.02]if we will fail to keep a foothold as a nation
[00:56.37]with unique characteristics. For another,
[00:59.62]maintaining tradition doesn't necessarily mean
[01:02.55]we hang on to the rules handed down from distant ages.
[01:06.04]In an era of intensified globalization,
[01:09.30]can China, the nation of the largest population
[01:13.15]and the third vastest land in the world,
[01:15.70]isolate herself from other parts of the earth?
[01:18.78]Absolutely not. Take traditional Chinese medicine for example.
[01:23.49]The ancient field could hardly assumed new charm
[01:27.01]if it had been for doctors' endeavor
[01:29.44]to integrate Western medicine with it.
[01:31.97]Generally speaking, only if we combine the preservation
[01:36.02]and the development of our fine traditional culture,
[01:38.81]can we keep abreast with the times in an all-around way. |
