“一带一路”求证文艺交流“最大公约数”

秋季的文艺交流，最鲜明的主题当然是“一带一路”——中国的音乐、电影、书法艺术走出国门，向“一带一路”国家展现古老而又当代的中国风采；更有为美术界所瞩目的“2017·第七届中国北京国际美术双年展”如约而至，创下北京双年展历史之最——参展国达到102个，参展艺术家567人，601件参展作品围绕“一带一路与丝路文明”的主题，共同呈现了世界文明交流互鉴的精神，尤其是表现当代东西方文明交流融合而不是对立冲突的精神。

文化的相遇、交流和融合极大地刺激了艺术家和社会大众的想象力和创新激情。随着国际化和现代化的进程不断深入，跨文化经验成为20世纪以来文艺创作领域的永恒主题，很多成功的文艺作品都展示了个体和民族在跨国和全球流动中的境遇和感悟，从而形成了一种全球性的文化气质，并最终达到“以文明交流超越文明隔阂、以文明互鉴超越文明冲突、以文明共存超越文明优越”的新层次。

曾几何时，“一带一路”沿线的几十个国家在历史上创造了风格形态不同的文化与文明，具有深厚的历史和文化渊源；而在“一带一路”的大格局下，文艺创作更多时候不再是一人、一时、一地的传统方式，文艺精品的产生往往由不同国家和地区的创作者共同参与其中——因此，在当下的文艺交流互鉴中，通过交流，求证不同文化之间的“最大公约数”，就具有非同寻常的重要意义。

The literary and art exchange in this autumn is mainly characterized by “B&R” Initiative. Chinese music, film and calligraphy have gone abroad to demonstrate the ancient yet modern Chinese expressions to the countries along the Silk Road. Moreover, under the theme of “The Silk Road and World Civilization”, the 7thBeijing International Art Biennale (BIAB) came as scheduled with a new record of the total of 102 participant countries. The 601 artworks by 567 artists both at home and abroad commonly presented the spirit of exchange and mutual reference in world civilization, especially highlighting the integration rather than confrontation between the contemporary civilizations of the East and the West.

The encounter, exchange and integration between cultures have considerably incited the imagination and passion for innovation among artists as well as mass people. Along with the constant upgrade of international and modernization process, trans-cultural experience has become an eternal theme in the literary and art creation since the 20thcentury.Many successful works in literature and arts have manifested the experience and enlightenment of individuals or a whole nation in the international or global flow, which then evolves into a cultural temperament of globalization and finally reaches the novel civilization level of “exchange over estrangement, mutual reference over conflict and coexistence over superiority”.

Sometime back in history, dozens of countries along the “B&R” created cultures and civilizations of varied formalities and styles blessed with their profound source of history and culture. In the current circumstance of ‘B&R” Initiative,literary and art creation is no longer realized in the traditional way of a single person in a single period in a single place.Instead, the exquisite literary and artworks come out of common participation of creators from different countries and regions. Therefore, in the ongoing exchange and reference, it is of extraordinary significance to find out the “most similarity and inclusiveness” among varied cultures.
