For the past three decades, Chinese people have witnessed an ever-increasing exchange of Chinese culture and western cultures. As illustrated in the picture, different elements from both Chinese culture and western culture like Buddhism, post-modernism, Confucian philosophies, Einstein, Lao She, Shakespeare, Chinese Gongfu, Opera of Swan Lake, and Beijing Opera, etc. are being added into a hotpot. Certainly enough, this hotpot will be delicious and nutritious.
Such a tendency of cultural exchanges can obviously be attributed to the Opening-up policy and globalization. For the past thirty years, western ideas and values, literature, arts, movies, and all sorts of cultural products have been introduced to China. Such an interaction of different cultures, values and traditions has broadened Chinese people’s visions and enriched their life. Meanwhile, many foreigners get to know Chinese culture by traveling to China, reading Chinese books, watching Chinese movies, or simply surfing the Internet. Confucius Institutes set up throughout the world and the Year of China celebrated in foreign countries also help the spread of Chinese culture. Indeed, people not only in China but also throughout the world benefit enormously by understanding and admiring each other through this “hotpot” of different cultures.
To my mind’s eye, as people recognize and enjoy the advantages brought by the cultural exchanges, they will surely hope to see more exchanges, not just in terms of culture but also in all aspects of human civilization.
