The museum is "a bridge connecting the past, present and future."
Now, looking back at the close of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s public activity is even more meaningful.
On November 29, 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee to the National Museum to visit the basic display of "The Road to Revival".
The National Museum has gone through a century of ups and downs. The exhibition "The Road to Revival" condenses the glorious years of the past. A sense of history hits you.
"The exhibition "The Road to Rejuvenation" reviews the yesterday of the Chinese nation, shows the today of the Chinese nation, declares the tomorrow of the Chinese nation, and gives people profound education and inspiration."
Stop here, the General Secretary's words travel through time and space-
The yesterday of the Chinese nation can be said to be "the road to the highest gate is as iron as iron"; the today of the Chinese nation can be said to be "the right way in the world is vicissitudes"; the tomorrow of the Chinese nation can be said to be "the wind and waves will be broken for a while."
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are intersecting, connecting and connecting the important palaces that carry history and inherit civilization.
The General Secretary has a special liking for museums: "I have visited the National Museum many times and left a deep impression." "I have loved to see museums since I was a child. When I was a child, I have seen almost all museums in Beijing."...
After a century of Chinese museum career, now thousands of museums of all sizes, are scattered across the country, which contains the answer to "why China" and shows the path of "where will it go".
Here, we feel a sense of history.
In 2014, the General Secretary of the Capital Museum pointed out that "the exhibition of history museums is to witness history, learn from history, and inspire future generations"; in 2015, the Xi'an Museum emphasized that "a museum is a university" and "remember the setbacks and lessons of history, so as to avoid detours and move forward better"; in 2021, the Guangxi National Museum lamented that "I will take time to visit the local area and take a look, with the purpose of better understanding the historical and cultural evolution of a place"... In the endless history, explore the inspiration of governance, chaos, rise and fall.
Here, we experience a confidence in civilization -
In 2016, at the National Archaeological Anthropology History Museum in Peru, the General Secretary pointed to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Dynasty and introduced proudly: "This cultural relic comes from the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Shaanxi. It is also my hometown." In 2017, at the Han Dynasty Cultural Museum in Hepu County, Guangxi, we carefully examined the unearthed bronzes and pottery, and expressed our feelings: "We must let cultural relics speak, history speak, and culture speak." In 2024, at the Baoji Bronze Museum in Shaanxi, He Zunqian, stood for a long time in contemplation: "Chinese civilization has been in the 5,000 years, and we must further explore, deeply study and explain its connotation and spirit, and promote the great wisdom contained in it."... From the brilliant long river of civilization, we draw the power of firm self-confidence.
The view of history and civilization run through the big chess game of governing the country.
"History, reality, and the future are the same. History is the reality of the past, and reality is the history of the future." Understand China from the long history of historical continuity and civilization continuity, and unswervingly follow its own path, history will extend to a broader future.
Don't forget the suffering and glory of yesterday, be worthy of today's mission and responsibility, and live up to tomorrow's great dream. (Reporter Huang Yue)
