Since the exhibition started at the National Art Museum of China on November 26, the BOAO Forum For Asia 2023 "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together" Cultural Figures Art Exhibition has attracted a steady stream of visitors from all over the country.
Li Baodong, Secretary-General of the Boao Forum for Asia, delivered a speech on behalf of the Boao Forum for Asia to express heartfelt thanks to the National Art Museum of China and Chinese Cultural Figures Magazine.
According to him, the art exhibition showcases excellent artistic works in the fields of painting, calligraphy, sculpture, seal cutting, photography, ceramics and melting copper art, which actively practice the cultural thoughts of President Xi Jinping and bring new vitality to the practice of building a strong socialist culture and modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

He thanked the artists participating in the exhibition for bringing people excellent works, which contributed to a wonderful artistic festival for the audience. At the same time, he also expressed his sincere congratulations to all the artists for their outstanding achievements in different artistic fields.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Based on the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the Belt and Road Initiative has become a popular international public product and a platform for international cooperation, which has strongly promoted the common development of the Belt and Road countries. The third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was successfully held in Beijing not long ago, which has further consolidated the consensus of all countries on cooperation and solidified the sound momentum of cooperation. With the theme of "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together", the art exhibition aims to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, and the theme of many of the exhibited artworks is also highly in line with the exhibition.
Culture and art are important fields to unite people, and cultural and artistic exchanges are the basis for people-to-people exchanges. Full communication and mutual understanding among countries and mutual learning among peoples are essential to promoting international cooperation and common development. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that "civilizations are enriched by exchanges and mutual learning. Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for human progress and world peace and development". General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively put forward the "Global Civilization Initiative", calling for respecting the diversity of civilizations, advocating the common values of humanity, valuing the inheritance and innovation of civilizations, strengthening international people-to-people exchanges and cooperation, and pointing out the direction of efforts to promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.
Over the years, Boao Forum for Asia has actively implemented Xi Jinping’s cultural ideas to stimulate the creative vitality of cultural innovation and enhance cultural soft power. As a comprehensive and high-end international exchange and cooperation platform, the Forum attaches great importance to promoting international cultural and art exchanges. Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Global Civilization Initiative, it actively practices the core values of socialism, consolidates the guiding position of Marxism in the field of ideology, strengthens the mainstream values, mainstream public opinion and mainstream culture in the integration of various cultures, and actively encourages all parties to use culture and art to build consensus and meet common challenges through cooperation and development. In recent years, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference has held sub-forums on the theme of culture and art every year, supplemented by rich activities such as famous artists art exhibitions and artists’ symposium. Many of the artists present today were invited to attend the annual meeting of the Forum and shared their insights on promoting international cooperation through cultural exchanges, making important contributions to the Sino-foreign cooperation. Thanks again for their efforts! At the same time, we also hope that more artists will participate in the Forum to make China's voice heard by the world, gather China's strength, promote the formation of Asian consensus, promote regional and world exchanges and mutual learning, achieve common development of countries through mutual learning of civilizations, and join hands to deal with global challenges!
According to former Vice Minister of Ministry of Culture Wang Wenzhang's speech, he is honored to be able to gather with all the guests at the National Art Museum of China and participate in the "Boao Forum for Asia 2023 'Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together' Cultural Figures Art Exhibition" sponsored by Boao Forum for Asia, National Art Museum of China and Chinese Cultural Figures magazine to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" Initiative. First of all, we should thank the artists, because it is they who present the eternal charm and style of the Silk Road civilization in various forms and colorful content.
The Silk Road civilization runs through the ancient and modern times and integrates the East and the West, and serves as an important link for exchanges and mutual learning among human civilizations. General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the Belt and Road Initiative and advocated building the Belt and Road into a road of civilizations to promote equal exchanges, cooperation and coexistence between the Chinese civilization and civilizations of other countries, make exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations a bridge of friendship between peoples and a driving force for the progress of human society.
The call for exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations demonstrates China's commitment to promoting human civilization as an ancient civilization and a major cultural country, and fully showcases the cultural confidence of the Chinese people.
The Belt and Road Initiative is the embodiment of cultural confidence, and cultural confidence is an important support for the construction of the Belt and Road. The Belt and Road Initiative emphasizes cultural exchanges and mutual learning, believing that the strengthening of cultural exchanges among countries can promote exchanges and dialogue among different civilizations and promote the development of cultural diversity. To achieve this goal, cultural confidence is essential, and we must have enough identity and pride in our own culture to truly communicate and dialogue with other cultures with an open mind. Cultural exchanges can enhance mutual understanding and friendship between people of all countries and promote the common development of human society.
In the context of globalization, the influence of culture is becoming more and more important. The report of the 20th CPC National Congress proposes that we should enhance the construction of international communication capacity, comprehensively improve the effectiveness of international communication, and form an international discourse power that matches China's comprehensive national strength and international status. We should strive to promote the exchanges between Chinese culture and other cultures, and achieve people's attention and recognition of the Belt and Road Initiative in relevant countries, so as to jointly promote the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Culture is a bridge for people's soul to communicate. The construction of the "Belt and Road" requires the enthusiastic participation of artists, who are expected to build a bridge of hearts for the construction of the "Belt and Road" by means of culture and art, and draw a blueprint for a better future. It is our artists’ responsibility to promote the spread of culture and the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations. The "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together" Cultural Figures Art Exhibition is a grand gathering of art for artists to show the vitality and unique charm of Chinese culture with their own artistic creation, and promote communication between different cultures and the coexistence and harmony of different civilizations. Such an exhibition will not only add brilliant diversity to the construction of the "Belt and Road", but also bring people the enjoyment of artistic beauty.
Jin Shangyi, Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, said in his speech that he was very happy to participate in the "Boao Forum for Asia 2023 'Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together' Cultural Figures Art Exhibition" to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" Initiative. In the past decade, the countries along the Belt and Road have displayed their artistic beauty, converging into a bright Silk Road Civilization galaxy. Such diverse, inclusive and shared cultural exchanges have brought vigorous vitality to the development of Chinese civilization.
As an important driving force for the development of human society, cultural exchanges and mutual learning are also a bridge to promote mutual understanding and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations. In this era of globalization, the significance of cultural exchanges has become more and more prominent. Cultural exchanges allow us to enhance mutual understanding and friendship, and promote cultural diversity and prosperity.
Cultural exchanges involve not only exchanges between countries, but also exchanges between individuals. Everyone is the inheritor and creator of culture, each individual can promote cultural exchange and mutual learning through their own actions and exchanges. Whether it is language, art, music, customs, or ideas and values, we can understand and respect the differences of different cultures through exchanges and interactions to achieve cultural sharing and integration.
Mutual learning between cultures is an important content of cultural exchanges. In cultural mutual learning, we can learn and draw on the excellence of other cultures, and through communication and interaction, we can also let others know about our own culture. Cultural mutual learning is not just about simple imitation and copying, it is to learn the essence of other cultures and create new cultural forms on the basis of respecting and preserving one's own cultural characteristics.
Cultural exchanges and mutual learning are conducive to improving mutual understanding and friendship among different civilizations and promoting cultural innovation and development. We can broaden our horizons and stimulate creativity and innovative thinking through exchange and interaction with other cultures. Cultural innovation and development require the collision and integration of different cultures, as well as an open and inclusive mind, so as to achieve cultural prosperity and progress.
As an artist, I am deeply aware of the importance of cultural exchange and mutual learning. Our artistic creation and academic research demonstrate the charm of traditional Chinese culture to the world and also draw inspiration from other cultures. I believe that cultural exchanges and mutual learning will certainly help realize cultural integration and sharing and promote the progress and development of human civilization.
Feng Yuan, Deputy Director of the Central Research Institute of Culture and History and former Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said in his speech that he is very pleased to come to the National Art Museum of China to attend the special events of "Boao Forum for Asia 2023 'Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together' Cultural Figures Art Exhibition". First, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to the organizers of this exhibition, the Boao Forum for Asia, the National Art Museum of China and the Chinese Cultural Figures magazine. Meanwhile, I would like to express my deep respect to the artists participating in this exhibition.
Ten years ago, when we were facing profound changes unseen in a century, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, which is China's first global plan for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Since then, the "Global Development Initiative", "Global Security Initiative" and "Global Civilization Initiative" have been put forward one after another, and these initiatives are the great solutions given by modern China to deal with the problems of the era, the world problems and the historical problems. Only with the joint efforts of the countries along the Belt and Road can we achieve a brighter and more friendly future.  
The past ten years have witnessed the vigorous development and fruitful results of international cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative from scratch, the thousand-year-old ancient silk civilization is showing new vitality in the new era. In recent years, the collection and organization of historical materials of the ancient Silk Road civilization has been continuously expanded in depth and breadth, and the research on the history, culture and art of the ancient Silk Road has also been continuously promoted in depth. Meanwhile, artistic creation based on the ancient Silk Road also ushered in a golden age.
The report to the 20th CPC National Congress stresses that we must adhere to the Chinese cultural position, refine and display the spiritual symbols and cultural essence of Chinese civilization, accelerate the construction of Chinese discourse and Chinese narrative system, tell Chinese stories well, spread Chinese voices well, and present a credible, lovely and respectable image of China. The long-standing, extensive and profound Chinese civilization is the unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation. Art is an important carrier for telling Chinese stories and spreading Chinese voices. It is the sacred duty and glorious mission of contemporary Chinese writers and artists to tell China's story well, highlight the Silk Road spirit, and promote people-to-people exchanges.
As the theme of the exhibition, "Drawing Silk Road Civilizations Together" is not only a response to the theme of building a community with a shared future for mankind, but also a retrospective of the history of the ancient Silk Road. Inspired by this grand theme and adhering to the cultural concept of harmony in diversity and exchange and mutual learning, more than 50 artists from different artistic fields continue to write a new chapter in the exchange and mutual learning of Silk Road civilizations with colorful brushes.
The artists participating in the exhibition include outstanding old artists like Mr. Jin who are over 90 years old, as well as new artists born in the 1980s and 1990s, who pursue both professional excellence and moral integrity in modern China. From calligraphy, Chinese painting, oil painting and sculpture to photography, ceramics and copper melting art, the artists use their unique artistic creativity and exquisite artistic techniques to reproduce the history-related beauty, the beauty of ethnic customs, and the beauty of inclusiveness and openness, and vividly explain the Silk Road spirit of "peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit".
Just three days ago, in his congratulatory letter to the first Liangzhu Forum, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again stressed the importance of implementing the Global Civilization Initiative, strengthening exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, carrying forward the civilization view of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, promoting harmonious coexistence and mutual achievement among different civilizations, and realizing friendly coexistence among people of all countries.
For Chinese artists, it is an important historical task to practice the Global Civilization Initiative and strengthen the exchange and learning of civilizations. Let us join hands to write a new chapter of exchanges and mutual learning among the Silk Road civilizations with noble feelings and superb skills.
Sun Xiaoyun, President of China Calligraphers Association, said in her speech that it is a great honor to meet with the guests in Beijing to participate in the "Boao Forum for Asia 2023 'Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together' Cultural Figures Art Exhibition" organized by Boao Forum for Asia, National Art Museum of China and Chinese Cultural Figures Magazine. The Silk Road has been a bond of exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations. Over thousands of years, it has left many splendid cultural legacies and brought about the Silk Road spirit of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, the theme art exhibition "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together" is in line with the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. It gathers broad consensus and strong strength to jointly build a better world, and vividly demonstrates the Chinese artists' expression of the Chinese spirit, their adherence to and creation of traditions, and their firm confidence in building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Today, the trend of peace, development and win-win cooperation is irresistible. The Belt and Road Initiative has been transformed from a Chinese initiative into an international practice, from concept to action, from vision to reality, from the "sketching" of a blueprint to the "painting in elaborate style", it has yielded fruitful results. I have also participated in calligraphy collections and exhibitions on the theme of the "Belt and Road", which have expanded our horizons. They bring a deeper understanding of the long history of the Silk Road, provide a rich and valuable historical legacy for human civilization, and constantly create new chapters.
Calligraphy is the treasure of Chinese traditional culture and the carrier of recording the history of Chinese civilization for five thousand years. A history of calligraphy reflects the long and splendid history of Chinese civilization and is known to the world along with the Silk Road. Over the years, Chinese calligraphy has played an important role in inheriting Chinese culture, carrying forward the national spirit, enriching people's cultural life, and building a country with a strong socialist culture. At the same time, it has also made positive contributions to promoting exchanges and mutual learning among world civilizations and formed a unique symbol of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. According to General Secretary Xi Jinping, inheriting Chinese culture is neither a simple restoration nor blind exclusion of foreign cultures, it is a matter of making the past serve the present, adapting foreign things for Chinese use, dialectical choice, innovation, discarding negative factors, inheriting positive thoughts, "achieving one's achievements by the rules of the ancients", and realizing the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese culture. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Chinese Calligraphers Association has studied and implemented the cultural ideas of Xi Jinping in depth, and adhered to the creative orientation of serving the people and serving socialism. In the process of entering a new era and starting a new journey, we shoulder the glorious mission and the great trust of the people.
The successful "Boao Forum for Asia 2023 'Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together' Cultural Figures Art Exhibition" has brought a rare opportunity to enhance the innovative development of culture and art and promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. Calligraphy workers hope to take this opportunity to strengthen cultural confidence, remain true to the original aspiration, stay true to the mission, nurture the root and soul of the nation, keep the good and bring out the new, extract the essence and absorb the nutrition from the traditional Chinese culture, create excellent works worthy of our great nation and great era, promote the prosperity of literature and calligraphy, and make their own contributions to the new glory of socialist culture. For us contemporary calligraphers, this is the social responsibility and historical mission.

The ancient Silk Road has created a vast space for the artistic exchange between China and the world, leaving countless treasures. Today, the "Belt and Road" Initiative has been highly recognized by the world and gained broad prospects. In addition to the continuous development of economy and trade, it is also necessary to sufficiently exchange culture and art. The cultural theme of "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together" is particularly worthy of being presented in the way of art, that is, in the way of images, visual and modeling. Through the ages, people have created countless works of art about the Silk Road, which are the results of different cultural exchanges. Today, along the "Belt and Road", the art facing the world has the outstanding characteristics of a new era. With the theme of "Drawing Silk Road Civilization Together", the exhibition demonstrates the important position of fine arts and art in the Silk Road Civilization, and makes artistic modeling and artistic language a broad platform for people to communicate and look forward to the future together. It is worth mentioning that the expression of the art history, natural scenery, national life, contemporary development and other scenes along the "Belt and Road" has strengthened people's confidence in the bright prospect of the "Belt and Road". This is a successful exhibition and exchange event, which shows a major cultural theme, and presents a number of high-level art works to the vast audience. Cultural exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations are promoted through artistic works.

They have created a large number of artistic masterpieces with profound thinking, exquisite art and excellent production, which vividly reproduce the great practice of transforming the Belt and Road Initiative from idea to action, and from vision to reality.

In this way, the artists express the emotions and spiritual world of the characters, and present the ecological civilization concept of "harmony between man and nature" of Chinese civilization, and the novel and unique perspective shows the depth and breadth.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Boao Forum for Asia and China Cultural Figures jointly organized a cultural round-table conference and a cultural figures art exhibition to start the construction of the cultural section of the Boao Forum for Asia, which has received extensive attention from politicians, entrepreneurs, experts and scholars from home and abroad, and achieved positive results. Compared to the previous exhibition, this exhibition is on a larger scale.

In the future, we will further promote the internationalization of the exhibition and truly make it a world-class art exchange event. This also requires cultural artists to make the past serve the present, adapt foreign things to Chinese needs, give dialectical choices, strive for innovation, get rid of the stale and bring forth the fresh, and tell the Chinese stories well in the form people would like to see and hear, letting Chinese civilization to win the understanding and recognition of the international audience.
