The Research On Merging And Mutual Learning Among Civilizations In The Process Of “The Belt And Road” Construction

In the autumn of 2013,the President Xi Jinping traveled west to Kazakhstan and south to Indonesia,and successively put forward major initiatives to build the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road.In the grand narrative of the "Belt and Road",the collision and blend between different civilizations has become a strong stroke."All things grow together without harming each other,and the Tao goes hand in hand without contradicting each other." The differences in social systems and ideologies should not become the tipping point of friction,confrontation and conflict,but should become the premise and foundation for the convergence of diverse civilizations.Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for promoting world peace and development,an essential requirement for promoting the development of human civilization,and an inevitable choice for the construction of the "Belt and Road".The "Belt and Road" civilizational exchanges and mutual learning embrace new rules and open a new chapter at the confusing fork point of world civilization where the "clash of civilizations" argument is raging,throwing a new rope of "survival" to the reconstruction of the diversity of human civilization.The civilizations along the "Belt and Road" are colorful and equal,and only through integration and mutual learning can we have peaceful dialogue;only through exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and eliminating misunderstandings and barriers can the "Belt and Road" cooperation advance smoothly.In the process of the Belt and Road Initiative,China’s commitment and China’s action are China’s advocacy,China’s commitment and China’s actions to explore a new path of sincere dialogue,mutual learning and harmony among different civilizations along the route,and to sow the seeds of inclusiveness and peace.Breaking down the barriers of civilizational exchanges with a broad-minded,learning from the advantages and strengths of various civilizations with an inclusive attitude,and constantly creating new achievements of human civilization in the process of mutual exchange and complementarity are important goals of the "Belt and Road" civilizational exchanges and mutual learning.Due to the wide diversity and dissimilarity of the social systems,development models,ideologies and historical traditions of countries along the "Belt and Road",there are inevitably some obstacles in the process of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.At present,reducing misunderstanding and friction between different civilizations along the Belt and Road and exploring new ways and paths for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations along the Belt and Road have become important ways to practice the construction of the "Belt and Road".This article is divided into four parts.First,a theoretical overview of the "Belt and Road" initiative and "exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations".On the one hand,under the framework of the "Belt and Road" initiative,the article analyzes the origin of the "Belt and Road" civilization,the proposal of the "Belt and Road" initiative,and the civilization logic of the "Belt and Road".On the other hand,the article expounds the theoretical origin of the General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on "civilizational exchanges and mutual learning" from three dimensions: the theory of civilizational exchanges among classic Marxist writers,the thinking of Chinese communists on civilized exchanges,and the origin of traditional Chinese culture.At the same time,this chapter also discusses the main contents and the value purpose of the General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important exposition on "exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations".Second,the paper explores the practical significance of the "Belt and Road" civilizational exchanges and mutual learning.The practical significance of the "Belt and Road" including eliminating the adverse impact of civilization barriers by the "Belt and Road" cooperation,opening up the realistic path of "people-to-people bond",contributing China’s plan to the world with "more dynamic civilizational achievements",and responding to the thesis of the three major civilization crises of "the end of history","the theory of clash of civilizations" and "the theory that a strong country must be hegemonic".Third,the status quo of civilization exchanges and mutual learning of the "the Belt and Road" has been explored from the perspectives of effectiveness and challenges.In the process of "the Belt and Road" civilization exchange and mutual learning,China has achieved some results-the practice of mutual learning and integration with Islamic civilization has achieved some results,the interaction and protection of cultural heritage with countries along the line has achieved some results,and the Confucius Institute has contributed an important force to the "the Belt and Road" people to people and cultural exchanges.The countries along the "the Belt and Road" have various challenges.The challenges with wide influence are mainly: the challenges of the construction of the "crisis" in western countries,the challenges of the differences in the values of the people of the countries along the line,the challenges of language differences,the challenges of religious diversity and differences,and the challenges of national emotional barriers.Fourthly,scientific concepts and practical paths of civilization exchanges and mutual learning of the "the Belt and Road" were elaborated.This paper discusses the scientific concept of civilization exchange and mutual learning of the "the Belt and Road" from three perspectives: the mutual coordination between the "self centered and cultural confidence" and the "embraces all culture",the mutual reflection between the "walking in the same direction" and the "common development",and the mutual transformation between the "people to people" and the "mutual benefit and win-win".Moreover,the article also explores the practical path of exchanges and mutual learning among the "Belt and Road" civilizations from the perspective of grasping the common attributes of various civilizations along the "Belt and Road",tightening the common ties of people-to-people exchanges and cooperation,promoting the deepening development of people-to-people diplomacy,using the media as a medium to promote the common prosperity of various civilizations along the route,and promoting the reform of the global Internet governance system.
