长城下西湖边，约会大美亚细亚

陆遥

五月的北京，繁花似锦。这是我到北京后的第一感受。

马路隔离带内，月季花开得缤纷艳丽;天安门广场上，亚洲各国国旗飘扬……

29年前，一首歌响彻亚洲：“我们亚洲，山是高昂的头。我们亚洲，河像热血流……”作为诸多文明的源头，亚洲的文明底色让这片土地上的人引以为荣。在这片广袤的土地上，世界2/3的人口、1000多个民族、47个国家聚集于此。

29年后，一场盛会，拨动了亚洲国家之间的文化命脉。

风，链接古今 国博迎来大展

璀璨的亚洲文明，为世界文明发展史书写了浓墨重彩的篇章，人类文明因亚洲而更加绚烂多姿。

与这一盛会相呼应的多项活动，在这一时间段精彩呈现。

5月13日，“大美亚细亚——亚洲文明展”在国家博物馆开幕。

距今3000年的老挝史前时代铜鼓，公元前7000年的沙特石雕人像……在“大美亚细亚——亚洲文明展”上，来自亚洲47国及希腊、埃及的400余件文物珍品，近距离地展现在观众面前。

这些文物涵盖两河流域、恒河印度河流域、黄河长江流域等孕育的多个世界古老文明，其中109件文物来自中国。

展览中的中国文物包括从石器时代到明清的各个时期，例如商代刻辞卜甲、西周“四十三年逨（lái）”铜鼎、战国“曾侯乙”铜尊盘、秦朝铜诏铁权、唐三彩载丝骆驼、元代赵孟頫行书《为隆教禅寺石室长老疏卷》、明代《永乐大典》二万二千八百七十七卷，清代斗彩勾莲纹开光粉彩诗句花卉纹瓶等。

展览中，不乏来自浙江的展品。其中最引人注目的，当属由浙江省博物馆带来的——浙江良渚古城出土的玉琮。玉琮，是新石器时代晚期江浙地区最具代表性的玉礼器之一，也是神人兽面纹神徽的主要载体之一。良渚文化距今约5000年，被称为中华5000年文明的实证。这件玉琮，可以说来自中华文明的源头。

大道融通——亚洲艺术作品展、文明匠心——亚洲非遗大展……一个个贯穿古今的展览，追溯亚洲不同文明的起源与发展历程，展示亚洲历史悠久、多元融合的文化特征，诠释亚洲文明的文化价值与时代意义，呈现不同文明对话、交流、互鉴的轨迹，为中外观众描绘了一幅大美壮丽的文明画卷。

文明因多样而交流，因交流而互鉴，因互鉴而发展。

5月15日下午，“鸟巢”门口。亚洲文明对话大会的重要活动之一，“亚洲文化嘉年华”即将彩排。

30余名来自亚洲各国的年轻人，穿着各自国度的民族服饰，手拉手围成圈，以即兴的方式载歌载舞，欢乐的心情淋漓尽致地“书写”在阵阵欢呼声鼓掌声中。

一名身着红衣的中亚姑娘在跳舞的人群中很是显眼，她告诉我，她来自土库曼斯坦，是一名舞蹈演员，“这么多亚洲年轻人能相聚在一起，真是美妙的时光。”

来自斯里兰卡的22岁姑娘萨辛塔第一次来中国，她说：“这里真的是太美了！中国人非常友善，有机会的话我一定要多去几个城市！”

风，染绿钱江 “知味杭州”尽展亚洲美食

在亚洲文明对话大会举行期间，作为2016年G20峰会和2022年亚运会的举办地的杭州，也和北京、广州、成都一道参与盛会，举办亚洲美食节。

15日，“知味杭州”亚洲美食节开幕，包括亚洲美食节开幕式、亚洲美食文化公园、全城美食大联展、中华美食器皿展览，以及“香约亚运”、“尋味亚洲”等主题展、“亚洲美食与人类文明”系列论坛、亚洲美食节主题灯光秀等在内的20多项精彩活动，在美食节期间向市民开放。

从5月15日至5月19日，每天的15时30～21时，在钱江新城波浪式广场、城市阳台及周边江堤上，亚洲美食文化公园（展），汇聚了来自56个国家和地区的多达410家美食，这是迄今杭州举办的规模最大、品类最多、范围最广的美食活动。

亚洲美食文化公园分为知味·亚洲街区、风味·国际街区、品味·钱江街区三大主题展区。知味·亚洲街区地方非常好找，地铁4号线市民中心K出口坐电梯上来就可以看到，而左右两边的大草坪上就是风味·国际街区。日本寿司、韩国烤肉、缅甸糕点、印度黄油鸡、泰国秘制冬荫功汤、新加坡海南鸡饭、越南河粉、马来西亚肉骨茶、印度尼西亚脆米虾、阿联酋中东美食、土耳其冰淇淋……每个展台都是根据每个国家和地区的特色风情来设计，来自各国的厨师们穿起民族服装，现场展示特色美食制作。

品味·钱江街区在靠江堤的位置，分东区和西区，里面高密度集中了150多家本地民间特色的餐饮店，把浙江全省好吃的东西都集中了起来。

除了美食，现场还有不少好玩的互动活动，坐在波浪文化城下城广场的阶梯上，可以边吃边观看“亚洲印象”文艺表演。

亚洲美食节期间，杭州还在钱江新城为来自世界各地的人们上演包罗万象的灯光秀——亚洲美食节主题灯光秀。灯光秀共分为“源”“联”“融”三个篇章，分别代表杭州的历史、杭州的现在和国际化杭州表达。“源”包括亚洲美食节的源起以及美食与杭州的渊源;“联”为联合、联结、互联互通，“融”为融合、包容……三个篇章以杭州最具代表性的元素、事件以及亚洲各国美食、建筑、语言、服饰，展现杭州与亚洲的文明对话和交流。

在亚洲文明对话大会的新闻中心里，当电子屏上滚动显示到钱江新城“日月同辉”的画面时，在场的记者都兴奋地拍下了照片。京杭大运河、杭州西湖、杭州湾跨海大桥、宁波舟山港……大家在现场的文明印记展板中，寻找一张张来自浙江的图片。

A Glimpse into Cultural Splendor of Asia in Beijing and Hangzhou

By Lu Yao

May this year saw me in Beijing see and feel the glory and splendor of Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilization that started on May 15th， 2019. National flags of Asian countries fluttered at the Tiananmen Square. The conference celebrated Asia， which boasts the two thirds of the global population. I found it amazing to know that the Asian population is composed of over 1，000 ethnic groups living in 47 countries.

The conference was glorified by a string of major events. One of the events I attended was The Splendor of Asia-An Exhibition of Asian Civilizations， which started on May 13 and will go through August 11. The exhibition features over 400 cultural relics from countries in Asia and the ancient civilizations of Greece and Egypt. One hundred and nine Chinese relics are on display. This is the first time that China has hosted an exhibition on the Asian civilization with the participation and cooperation of its Asian neighbors. As a journalist from Zhejiang， I was happy to see some of exhibits from Zhejiang. One eye-catching exhibit from the province is a jade ， a treasure from Zhejiang Museum. This ritual jade piece was unearthed from the ancient Liangzhu city， which is now in a suburb of Hangzhou. This ancient civilization flourished in present-day Zhejiang and Jiangsu， representing a history that goes back to about 5，000 years ago. The Liangzhu Culture is considered a cradle of the Chinese civilization.

On the same day， Shared Inspiration-Asian Art Exhibition was launched at the National Art Museum of China. The vast land of Asia has witnessed lasting， intensive exchanges among various civilizations. Since ancient times colorful arts have developed and integrated. Various ethnic groups and their cultures have met， communicated and coexisted with each other and achieved common prosperity. Art works from different Asian countries display the mutual learning and blending of various cultures on the continent.

Also on the same day， Craftsmanship of Civilizations was unveiled to the public at the National Museum of Classic Books. An exhibition of intangible cultural heritage in Asia， it showcases 310 pieces （sets） of works by 30 artists from 14 Asian countries. Jointly hosted by China Arts and Entertainment Group Ltd.， the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the National Library of China， the exhibition includes porcelain from Japan， bronze ware from Nepal， and shadow puppets from Indonesia.

May 15 saw the Asian Culture Carnival at the National Stadium， also known as the Birds Nest. More than 30，000 people from China and abroad attended， presenting song and dance performances and parades by artists from Asian countries and regions.

Meanwhile， Hangzhou held “Taste of Hangzhou” Asian Cuisines Festival from May 15 through 19th to coincide with the CDAC in Beijing. More than 410 booths and stalls presented delicacies from 56 countries and regions. This was the biggest cuisine event Hangzhou has ever seen.

During the festival Hangzhou held a “Tea Culture” Dialogue Forum. Major Asian tea-producing countries such as Japan， Sri Lanka and India participated in dialogue and exchanges. The festival held a theme forum highlighting， inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese culture.

The event presented an organic combination of technology and food， demonstrating the achievements of Hangzhous digital economy and city construction. At the same time， the event exhibited the collection of food with Olympic and Asian Games elements and the Asian Games innovative food design. Chefs， athletes and sports diet experts from Asian cities shared innovative healthy food， discussed the intersection between loving sports and a healthy diet， and consolidated Asian peoples attention and support for the Asian Games and Asian Cuisine Festival.

During the festival， Hangzhou also launched a series of activities： the “Taste of Hangzhou” Cuisine Food Festival theme light show demonstrated the integration of Asian multiculturalism through elaborate light design work; the “Impression of Asia” literary and artistic performances showed the essence of Asian culture.
