June 2014，The "Grand bet365 code of China" was successfully included in the "World Heritage List"，Becomes the world’s largest space span、The oldest、The most far-reaching bet365 code heritage project。In recent years，With the Grand bet365 code Cultural Belt、Proposal of national projects such as the Grand bet365 code National Cultural Park，The value of the Grand bet365 code legacy and today’s national economy、Culture、Social Development Strategy，It is closely related to the construction of international cultural soft power。

Then，How to understand and define the concept of "Grand bet365 code" from the level of knowledge system？During World Heritage application period，Heritage professional organizations use World Heritage standards as a framework，The outstanding universal value and authenticity of the "Grand bet365 code of China"、Integrity、Discuss the standards and other aspects that meet the requirements，And recognized by the World Heritage Committee。But，From popularization、Perspective of spreading and sharing the heritage value of the Grand bet365 code，We need to interpret this completely again、Complex concepts and knowledge systems，Need to jump out of the world heritage discourse，Even beyond the framework of cultural heritage，Understand the Grand bet365 code from a higher level。

　　Get out of two cognitive limitations

Understanding the Grand bet365 code from a theoretical perspective，We need to get out of the two limitations of thinking and understanding of the Grand bet365 code: "historical restoration" and "unification and centralization"，And build more tolerance、More diversity、More levels of narrative system of the Grand bet365 code。

From a time perspective，We should break away from the limitations of historical reductionism，Avoid falling into the “grand imagination” of the Grand bet365 code。We talk and interpret the Grand bet365 code today，Should not be limited to a specific historical period，Ru Sui Chu、Early Song Dynasty、Early Yuan or mid-Ming Dynasty、Mid-Qing Dynasty, etc.，Instead, we should adhere to a dynamic view of time，Understand and think about this huge historical product from a modern perspective。

　History，The Grand bet365 code is mainly called Caoqu，Even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when the word "bet365 code" was commonly used，The name "Grand bet365 code" does not appear either。Until 1958，First, Huaiyin Cigarette Factory created “Grand bet365 code Brand” cigarettes，Jiangsu Province has established the "Jiangsu Province Grand bet365 code Project Headquarters"，This waterway has the title of "Grand bet365 code" for the first time。Therefore，Regarding the Grand bet365 code as a rather modern cultural memory product，Helps us break away from the narrow obsession with so-called historical authenticity，Don’t put too much emphasis on maintaining or “returning” to a so-called historical period，So that it can be based on specific geographical background and social conditions，Carry out measures to protect and utilize the Grand bet365 code that are tailored to local conditions and adapted to local social culture and people’s livelihood needs。For example，Some scholars and relevant departments have proposed “comprehensive resumption of sailing”，The original intention was to recreate the grandeur of the Grand bet365 code during its prosperity。But have a deeper understanding of the Ming and Qing Dynasties when the Grand bet365 code was most prosperous，We will find out，True full line、It is rare to have full-year connectivity，Water shortage in the Grand bet365 code、siltation、Interruption is the norm。

From a political point of view，Overly political interpretation of the Grand bet365 code should be avoided。For example, Wittef’s flat interpretation of the relationship between water management and politics in China，Has been widely questioned by academic circles。Although it does not directly refer to the Grand bet365 code，But its related discussion，There will be misunderstandings about the function of the Grand bet365 code in maintaining national unity from a theoretical perspective。People tend to equate ancient Chinese water conservancy projects, represented by the excavation and management of the Grand bet365 code, with a ruler's seizure of political power、The act of maintaining dominance。

Jump out of the simple thinking of ancient rulers，Observe from the perspective of ordinary people’s activities，You will discover the rich connotation of the Grand bet365 code。The Grand bet365 code is of course a water conservancy control system，But it is more about the traffic of “people”、Interaction、Communication system，It is a personal walk all over the land of ancient China、Making a living、Superposition of travel experience。Only from the Song Dynasty，Because Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is located at the center of the bet365 code，The bet365 code has become the first choice for transportation of almost all people in the country，When Su Shi returned to Sichuan to bury his father Su Xun，I did not choose to take the Shu road when I went to Beijing to take the exam，But first follow the bet365 code southeast to the Yangtze River，Go up the Yangtze River，This illustrates the important role of the bet365 code in personal cross-regional activities at that time。A large number of personal walking records left along the Grand bet365 code，For example, Huang Bian's "The Journey of the World by Land and Water"、Tan Qian's "Records of Journey to the North", etc.，And the resulting Ming and Qing novels based on the scenery along the bet365 code - "Water Margin", "Three Words and Two Pai", etc.，They are far beyond the scope of "autocracy"，Showing the bet365 code transcends politics、The charm of value integrated into life。

　　The Grand bet365 code is "cultural memory"

　　After dispelling the above two misunderstandings，We should further realize the multi-dimensional characteristics of the Grand bet365 code narrative。Either as a physical legacy，Still as an abstract concept，The Grand bet365 code is the product of "cultural process"，It is the understanding and interpretation of today's people based on specific historical and realistic situations。French sociologist Halbwacher pointed out，Memory and history are not the same，Memory is malleable，It is the interpretation of the past shaped by specific people based on specific situations。German scholar Asmann further clarified the cultural characteristics of collective memory，He treats historical products、Event、The practice of memory with characters as objects is called "cultural memory"。

The Grand bet365 code is a typical cultural memory，And has multiple memory subjects - official memory、Folk memory、National Memory、Local memory，Even farming、Business、Religion、Literature、Memories of military and other aspects，All passed various official history books、The Unofficial History of Barnyard Officials、Note novel、Oral literature、opera and folk arts、The spread and expression of poems, calligraphy and painting scrolls。In short，The Grand bet365 code as cultural memory，It is a collection of many "stories"。

Different types of text carriers，It is necessary to interpret the Grand bet365 code from different perspectives，The aspects and methods of telling are very different。The official version of the bet365 code highlights the development and evolution and the guarantee of water transportation、The importance of political stability；The literature on water conservancy engineering focuses on the excavation of canals、Dredging、Technical aspects such as layout and construction of engineering facilities；Folklore tends to shape “characters”，Ru Yang Guang、Legendary emperors like Hongli，As well as folk flood control heroes such as the old man Bai Ying；Literary works describe the customs and customs on both sides of the bet365 code；Poetic art highlights the image characteristics of the bet365 code；Contemporary historians pay attention to the distribution of warehouses in the bet365 code、River management concept、Operation and maintenance mode；Even many foreign envoys after the Ming and Qing Dynasties、Tourists look at the bet365 code from a foreign perspective，Leaved a rare record in Chinese documents。All text and artistic products above，They are all cultural memories of the Grand bet365 code。

We can think，The Grand bet365 code is not an odd number，But a plural number；There is no big bet365 code，There are many grand canals。From the practical point of view of today’s construction of the Grand bet365 code Cultural Belt and the Grand bet365 code National Cultural Park，Only complete、Objective、Comprehensive、Diversely present in plural forms and existing in different regions、The Grand bet365 code in the cultural memories of different groups of people，Only in this way can we truly express the symbolic significance of the Grand bet365 code to today。

　　Chinese expressions that construct the narrative of the Grand bet365 code

　　Construction and expression of cultural memory through the Grand bet365 code，We can think about the narrative of building the Grand bet365 code in the context of the issue of "telling the Chinese story well" that is often said today。

The so-called telling Chinese stories well，There seems to be a preset behind it，That is, the Chinese story itself is very clear and exciting，What is needed is to speak to foreign audiences in an international way。This preset divides the target group of Chinese stories into two categories，The first type is Chinese，The first category is foreigners，The latter belongs to the field of "external propaganda"。

From the perspective of communication，Knowledge and emotions for different groups of people，Telling the same story in different ways is one bet365 code effective ways，Therefore，“External propaganda” is necessary and effective。But looking back at the competition for the right to speak in the international cultural field over the years，There is no cultural power，Persuading foreigners only through "external propaganda" in non-native languages，Thus gaining the right to speak in international culture。Especially in the Internet era，It’s hard to imagine that foreigners would block the other party’s “internal propaganda” and only wait to see its “external propaganda”，The real logic should be: tell the story of your country in your mother tongue，Respect the cultural memory model bet365 code country’s public，and promote awareness、Understanding、Accept these narratives，Ultimately, people from other countries will take the initiative to listen to and accept these narratives。China’s world cultural heritage carries many excellent traditional cultures，It is a treasure in the treasure house bet365 code human spiritual world，It is beneficial to the people of all countries，Has rich value connotation and story system，There is no need to deliberately tell foreigners in another way。China’s history and culture，First of all, it should be told to the Chinese，Make Chinese people willing to listen，And I am convinced，Willing to continue to pass on and magnify its spirit，Only foreigners will take the initiative to accept and appreciate。

Therefore，Researcher and communicator of the Grand bet365 code，Inheritor of Grand bet365 code Culture，We should adhere to the principle of using Chinese first、Principles of telling good stories to the public, especially young people，Via Science、vivid、Interesting way，Tell the Chinese themselves rich stories、Multiple、Interesting Grand bet365 code Stories。This is the origin of our writing "Painting Biography of the Grand bet365 code"。
