Hubei Daily reporter Huang propaganda correspondent Ning Wei

Jing Chu culture is profound, far-reaching, how can we better utilize this cultural inheritance? On the eve of New Year's Day, held at the China University of Geosciences, Jing Chu culture seminar, Jing Chu culture experts and scholars from all over the province, speak freely, *** with the exploration of the modern value of Jing Chu culture.

What is the modern value of Jingchu culture

Jingchu Culture Research Society Honorary Chairman of the provincial CPPCC Chairman Wang Shengtie pointed out that: for thousands of years, Hubei, as the center of Jingchu culture, the formation of the brilliant Jingchu culture has made an outstanding contribution, and therefore laid the Hubei as a cultural province of the important position. In the new era of the 21st century and under the historical conditions, focusing on the modern value of Jing and Chu culture is not only of great significance to the cultural development of Hubei, but also of great significance to the economic and social development of Hubei. The modern value of Jing and Chu culture is mainly embodied in the cultural spirit of advancing with the times, colorful cultural resources, and the affectionate care of successive generations of Party leaders for Hubei. This is an important connotation of Jing Chu culture, with extremely valuable modern value.

"The core connotation of the modern value of Jing Chu culture is the innovative spirit of daring to be the first in the world, and this innovative spirit is the spiritual impetus and source for promoting the economic construction and development of Hubei." Prof. Zhang Zhengming of Central China Normal University clearly elaborated his point of view. According to him, the so-called "dare to be the first in the world" means to maximize the imagination and form one's own advantages and characteristics in the process of exchanging with other peoples and cultures. He pointed out that the philosophical thinking of Laozhuang and the aesthetic thinking of Qu Sao, the essence of Jing and Chu cultures, are examples of imagination and creativity.

How to better develop and utilize Jing and Chu culture

Wang Shengtie believes that: the purpose of our research is to better explore the historical and cultural heredity, inherit the excellent cultural achievements of mankind, firmly grasp the direction of the development of the advanced culture, and organically combine Jing and Chu's excellent culture with the reality of Hubei's modernization and construction, so as to provide a strong spiritual impetus and intellectual support for inspiring the people of the whole province to move forward bravely. support.

Liu Yutang, vice president of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, put forward the construction of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the Han River, the Qingjiang River and the Shennongjia, Wudang Mountain, Dabie Mountain as the carrier of the "Three Rivers and Three Mountains" tourism layout concept. He believes that Hubei tourism if you give up the Han River, Chu culture and the Three Kingdoms culture is equal to lose half, and in the western part of Hubei Qingjiang, with the Ba culture, Tujia and Miao cultural heritage. Dabie Mountain with glorious revolutionary traditions, will be a valuable revolutionary cultural resources in our province to effectively implement red tourism. The province's cultural tourism only "one river and two mountains" strategy adjusted to "three rivers and three mountains" strategy, in order to more completely highlight the connotation of the Jingchu culture, reflecting the diversity of cultural connotations of Jingchu.

Provincial Academy of Social Sciences researcher He Nianlong in his speech again put forward the establishment of "Jing Chu cultural corridor" proposal. The so-called "Jing Chu Cultural Corridor" is a physical cultural highland. From a spatial point of view, it is the Han-Yi highway (another overlap with the 318 national highway) as the main highway cultural belt, Jingzhou ancient city as the axis to Wuhan and Yichang dynamic extension of the two directions, in the zone to form "a line through the five pearls" (Han-Yi highway as a line, mega-city of Wuhan, large and medium-sized cities in Yichang, Jingzhou, small cities Xiantao, Qianjiang). City Xiantao, Qianjiang) of the cultural corridor advantage and integration of cultural effects. From the viewpoint of cultural characteristics, the completed "Jingchu Cultural Corridor" will form three development poles in Yichang, Jingzhou and Wuhan, with the traditional background of Three Gorges culture (or Ba Chu culture) - Chu culture - Han culture; the modern characteristics of the three Gorges culture (or Ba Chu culture) - Chu culture - Han culture. -Han culture; modern features are correspondingly embodied in the hydropower culture - composite culture (compatible synthesis) - Optical Valley culture. "Jing Chu Cultural Corridor" will become a cultural link that blends water culture and land culture, tradition and modernity, openness and newness. It will have a unique cultural color that will attract the world's attention. To the whole country and even the world to launch a cultural brand with Hubei characteristics, the establishment of "Jing Chu Cultural Corridor" can not be delayed.

The development of culture has the closest relationship with economic development. Wang Luyi, deputy editor of Hubei University of Economics, puts forward the idea of considering the cultural capital of Jingchu from the cultural value and economic value, driving the development of the tertiary industry with the most growth potential by the accumulation of Hubei's cultural capital, and taking the cultural capital and the tertiary industry with the advantage of the regional resource endowment as the endogenous support for the rise of Hubei in the central part of the country.

Jingchu culture can also contribute to the construction of modern cities. From the Jingzhou City Federation of Social Sciences, Liu Baifang, Xie Kwai put forward their own views: to fully explore the patriotism as the core of the Chu culture resources, the prosperity of Jingzhou City, the development of cultural industries. No coincidence, Ezhou City Museum, deputy director, associate researcher Xiong Shouchang also believes that the location of the bear ditch Feng Wangtai, the development and utilization of Chu and Ezhou culture, for the construction of the city, for the creation of the national historical and cultural city, civilization and health of the city, the excellent tourist city has great significance.

The latest research results of Jing Chu culture

The former Vice Chairman of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Jing Chu Culture Research Association, Cheng Yuntie, Jing Chu Culture Research Association, vice president of Chen Kunman, from the advocate of tea tea on the tea affairs of Jing Chu, proved that the tea and Jing Chu's unbreakable bond, pointing out that people such as tea, we can be from the development of Hubei tea in the course of the development of the Jing Chu's humanistic spirit. Such as Shennong's "taste a hundred herbs, the day met seventy-two poison" without fear, Lu Yu to explore tea and thousands of miles of trekking, etc., reflecting the Chu people's "Wicker Road, to start the mountains and forests" pioneering spirit of struggle; Jingchu tea things are colorful and colorful, which is suitable for the Chu people chasing the new and strange art Sentiment; in addition, the Jing Chu tea pursuit of meaning, reflecting the philosophical concept of the Chu people and mediocrity and so on.

Zhang Jinguo, president of China University of Geosciences, and Professor Yuan Chao, deputy director of the Natural History and Culture Research Center of China University of Geosciences, have systematically and comprehensively sorted out the formation of Jingchu culture and Chu culture, as well as the characteristics and achievements of the performance of Chu culture. They believe that today we come to discuss and study the Jing Chu culture and ancient culture, not only to "think of the ancient feelings", but also more importantly to inherit the essence of traditional culture, to build a more brilliant modern culture.

From the point of view of ideological characteristics, Jing and Chu cultures are more rich in imagination, discursive and romantic intensity than the cultures of the Yellow River basin. Wuhan University Philosophy Department Professor Li Weiwu that this ideological and cultural specificity, in Hubei region gradually formed a long history of teleological tradition, and Hubei culture for the development of Chinese philosophy, for the development of the spiritual world of the Chinese people to make the most distinctive contribution to the tradition of teleology, but also than this teleological tradition. For example, the Chujian of Guodian in Jingmen has paid attention to and explored the issue of mindfulness. From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the 20th century, more than a thousand years, Jingchu land is surging wave after wave of teleology; Zen Buddhism rose in Huangmei, Lu Jiubuan in Huang'an, Macheng.

Jingchu culture and philosophy has had a significant impact on the development and orientation of modern Chinese literature. Provincial Academy of Social Sciences associate researcher Liu Baochang, after reviewing the research community on the relationship between traditional Chinese culture and modern literature has gone through the stages pointed out that the poetic art of Jing Chu cultural philosophy of the unique aesthetic orientation, the construction of the world of modern literature and aesthetics has had a significant impact. The poetic art of the Jing-Chu cultural philosophy has equipped modern Chinese literature with the beauty of escapism and the natural beauty resulting from the concern for nature.

Professor Yao Weijun of Central China Normal University pointed out in his review of the changes in food culture, dress culture and festival etiquette in Jingchu over its long history that the condition of social and material life is the only yardstick for evaluating the progress of society, and that exploring the tradition of social life in Jingchu essentially means studying the culture of Jingchu from a new angle, so as to authentically recreate and conceptualize the modern value and future direction of the culture of Jingchu.

Shao Xuehai, deputy director of the Chu Culture Institute of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences and a researcher, made a "unique" speech. He believes that, as a part of Chinese culture, Jing Chu culture, after the discovery of the first half of the last century and the excavation of the second half of the century, has attracted attention at home and abroad, and has achieved fruitful results in many areas. However, mastering the correct historical methodology, based on objective and authentic materials as well as a rigorous attitude, can lead to better historical application. Narrow-mindedness and pragmatism are not conducive to developing the modern value of Chu culture. In addition, the known research results of explaining the modern value of Chu culture are mostly limited to the spiritual level, and its influence is broad and far-reaching, but the process is slow and long-term, the way is subtle, and the effect is ambiguous. We should not attempt to realize the modern value of Chu culture in one go. Inherit excellent cultural inheritance, we should also look squarely at the lessons of history and the so-called dregs of the police Jingchu simple silk and Jingchu culture

Luo Yunhuan

The study of Jingchu simple silk has formed an international academic boom, which, in addition to the continuous discovery of the Chu briefs, more importantly, is that the connotation of the Jingchu simple silk is rich, strong attraction. China's simple silk unearthed mainly in Jingchu and the northwest of the two major regions, in Jingchu and the northwest of the two major regions in Jingchu predominantly. As early as in the southern qi era, jingchu northern xiangyang (now xiangfan city, hubei province) there is a stolen tomb unearthed bamboo books, after identification, that is the "zhouli" is missing anonymous part of the "kao kong ji". early 1940s, in changsha, hunan province, the famous chu silk book was unearthed. From the 50's onwards, jingchu simple silk continuously unearthed, *** counted more than 50 batches. Since the 70's, Mawangdui Han silk, sleeping tiger Qin Jane, Bao Shan Chu Jane, Guo Dian Chu Jane, Zhang Jiashan Han Jane, go horse building three kingdoms Wu Jane, the Shanghai Museum collection Chu bamboo book, Riye Qin Jane and other bulk of the simple silk unearthed and found, continue to bring surprises to the academic community.

Jingchu Jane silk mostly out of tombs and ancient wells, books, instruments with their own characteristics, a great variety, rich in content. Eminent, there are several ends as follows.

Taoist thinking is a major feature of Jingchu culture. Jingchu simple silk out of the "Laozi" on the Guo store Chu Jane and Mawangdui silk book this. The bamboo brief "Laozi" belongs to the selection, copied in the middle of the Warring States period, is the earliest seen this, compared with the present book, there is no theory about "Tao", and "small country, few people" ideal society elaboration, there is no "absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness", "absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness", "absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness", "absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness". ", "absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness", "absolute sainthood and abandonment of wisdom" and other contradictory to the main doctrines of Confucianism, favoring practicality, when the official Chu state a kind of biography reading book. Mawangdui silk "Laozi" has a, B this, respectively, copied in Liu Bang before and after the reign of the emperor, in addition to the moral scriptures in the former Taoist scriptures in the back and this book is different, the content structure is basically the same, can solve this chapter, the word of the many disputes, is the earliest full version of the "Laozi" seen. Taoist writings and GuoDian chu brief this "too a lifetime of water" and the Shanghai museum collection of chu brief "constant first" chapter, this is two jingchu transmission of very precious pre-qin Taoist anonymous books, respectively, elaboration of the Taoist cosmogony and Taoism and the theory of the origins of the universe and the origin of heaven and earth. Taoism in the middle and late Warring States period is divided into Huanglao school and Zhuangzi school, Huanglao school in the Warring States period has a great influence, because of its writings are lost and lead to the later generations know very little. The discovery of the Mawangdui palindrome "Huangdi Neijing" has given the world a chance to reacquaint itself with the Huang-Lao school.

Confucianism has always been an important connotation of Jing and Chu culture. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people had a tradition of transmitting and practicing Poetry, Calligraphy, Rites and Music, and Shen Shushi, a courtier of King Zhuang of Chu, was a famous Confucian scholar. When discussing the education of the Prince of Chu, he put forward the principles of goodness, virtue, loyalty, faith, integrity, righteousness, courtesy, filial piety, benevolence, literature, martial arts, punishment and reward ("Guoyu - The Language of Chu"), the core of which is to "promote the good and suppress the evil" and to pursue the "goodness" of the "heart", so that the "goodness" of the "heart" could be realized and the "goodness" of the "heart" could be pursued. The core content of the book is to "promote the good and suppress the evil", and to pursue the "goodness" of the "heart", which is the forerunner of the later Si-Meng school of the heart and the theory of "disposition", and has become one of the major features of Confucianism in Jing and Chu. Guo Dian Chujian and the Shanghai Museum collection of Chu bamboo books in the "Velvet" (each one), "the theory of temperament" ("sex from the life"), "five elements", "Tang Yu Road", "the way of loyalty and trust", "poor and up to the time", "six virtues", "into the smell of", "respect for virtue and righteousness," "the sex from the life", "Zi Lamb", "the people's parents", "Wu Wang Trampled" and so on, to varying degrees, reflecting Confucianism Simeng school of psychology and people-oriented thinking. The Confucian school of Si-Meng has, to varying degrees, embodied the Confucian doctrine of mindfulness and the idea of the people.

Jingchu is a region that specializes in poetry. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu advocated the teaching of poetry, and the aristocrats were good at poems in four lines, often using the chapters and sentences of Poetry as a means of diplomacy and interpersonal communication to express their feelings. During the Warring States period, Chu rhetoric rose in Jingchu, and a group of writers led by Qu Yuan and Song Yu created brilliant works of Chu rhetoric and Chu fugue, which had a far-reaching influence on Jingchu culture and even the whole Chinese culture. The Shanghai Museum collection of the Warring States Chu bamboo book has poetry, fugue, music in the brief text. Poetry is a Confucian literary criticism of the nature of the thesis anonymous. Chu Jane in addition to the "Poetry Theory" seen in the "Poetry Classic" poetry, but also newly discovered six anonymous poems, very valuable. Poetry music" (or "repertoire") has 7 Jane, 40 kinds of poetry chapter name and playing, singing poetry poetry pitch, written in a piece or a group (several) before the chapter name, by the palace, Shang, Zheng, feather four scales and Mu, and nine changes in tone combination, such as the palace tone has the palace Mu, the palace Qun, the palace Khan, the palace Zhu. The origin of the tonal names of such poetic compositions circulating in Chu is still difficult to investigate.

Mawangdui excavated silk "Spring and Autumn Annals" and "the Warring States book" is an important discovery of the history of the book. The Spring and Autumn Annals, which focuses on the "Record of Words," may be a different version of the Guoyu. The warring states vertical and horizontal family book" 27 articles, there are 16 articles are long lost anonymous, is the warring states history of new information, "warring states policy", "historical records" about su qin era of the error, and thus be corrected, this book is called "sima qian has not seen the precious historical materials". The Shanghai Museum collection of Chu bamboo book there is a warring states of Chu text word book, is the Chu place to learn, is also China's earliest word book.

In the early warring states and han jianfu jingchu, about astronomy, calendar, divination books also occupy a considerable proportion. 20 century 40 years in changsha unearthed in the warring states era chu silk book, about the twelve months of the year, belongs to the "month taboo" a kind of calendar taboo mathematical book, the map with, should be seen chu The earliest of a "style" (a tool used by the number of artists to account for the test of time and date) or "chart style". Jiangling Jiudian warring states chu jian "day book", is the earliest selection of the time and day of the book of mathematics and art found. Yunmeng sleep tiger land (M11) Qin Jane "day book", also divided into two kinds of A and B, the content is richer. Mawangdui silk book of counting more than half of the book, "five-star occupation", "astronomy and meteorology miscellaneous occupation" is mainly to the stars and clouds accounted for the line division military, and astronomy is the closest relationship. Among them, 30 comet charts are the earliest precise observation and accurate depiction of comets in the history of world astronomy. Two kinds of "Yin and Yang Five Elements" and three kinds of "Criminal Virtue" are even more attention-grabbing counting books.

Jiangling Zhoujiatai Qin Jian and Zhangjiashan Han Jian were both found to have calendars. The former for the thirty-four, thirty-six, thirty-seven years of Qin Shi Huang and the first year of the second Qin Shi; the latter for the five years of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty to the second year of Empress Lu's calendar. These calendars, which contain either the yearly day stems and branches or the month's first day stems and branches, are valuable information for studying the evolution of the calendar during the Qin and Han Dynasties. The table of multiplication recipes in the J1 Qin Jian of Longshan, Xiangxi, is the earliest table of multiplication recipes in China and a precious object in the history of arithmetic. Zhangjiashan Han Jian "book of mathematics" is earlier than the "nine chapters of arithmetic" of a mathematical work, a more concentrated reflection of the late Warring States period to the early Western Han Dynasty level of mathematical development, the book retained some of the mathematical history of the "nine chapters of arithmetic" is not seen in the book of mathematical history information, precious, in the history of mathematics occupies a very important position. Xiangxi Zhangjiajie City (formerly Dayong City) Ancient People's Causeway site also unearthed the Eastern Han Dynasty simple multiplication table.

In the simple documents, legal instruments are a bulk content. Bao mountain chu simple involving legal instruments, divided into a title and no title two kinds, "set", "set of words", "receive period", "bolt prison" four is a title. No title of a class of litigation records and abstracts; another category is the summary of cases reported around the brief record. Bao Shan Chu Jane of legal documents, belonging to the middle of the Warring States period Chu judicial activities of the archives, is a study of the law of the State of Chu valuable information. The Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land (M11) Qin simplicity is famous for the discovery of Qin laws. The six articles, including Eighteen Types of Qin Laws, Effective Laws, Miscellaneous Copies of Qin Laws, Answers to Legal Questions, Sealed Diagnostic Forms, and The Way of the Officials, are related to criminal law, procedural law, civil law, military law, administrative law, and economic law, and occupy an important position in the history of China's legal system as well as in the history of the world's legal system. Yunmeng Longgang (M6) Qin Jian is another important discovery of Qin Dynasty legal documents after Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Jian. The content of the "Effective Laws" in the Wangjiatai (M15) Qin Jian of Jiangling is roughly the same as that of the Sleeping Tiger Land (M11) Qin Jian of Yunmeng. The Zhangjiashan (M247) Han Jian is also famous for the discovery of Han laws. Among them, the Second Year's Laws, a decree issued in the second year of Empress Lu's reign (186 B.C.), involves more than 20 types of law names, some of which are the same as the Eighteen Types of Qin Laws of the Yunmeng Nyinghudi Qin Kanji, and contains the contents of the main body of Han law, the Theft Laws, and the Thieves' Laws.

In short, Jingchu Jane silk itself is a beautiful landscape of Jingchu culture. Since the beginning of the 20th century, China has unearthed a total of more than 340,000 pieces of documents, and Jing Chu, more than half of the documents accounted for more than 180,000 pieces of documents, the two great discovery of silk are also from Jing Chu. Warring States Chu simple silk, Qin Jane, Western Han Dynasty simple silk, Wu Jane of the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty simple documents, these five periods of time of simple silk, are with its unique rich connotation, and constantly formed many international academic hotspots, and promote the prosperity and development of China's academic culture.
