Since the spring of 2010,With the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China、Provincial government proposed & ldquo; build a strong province & rdquo;,Once silent & ldquo; Cantonese Cultural Desert said & rdquo;。Some officials、When answering the media and netizens ask questions,Although not acknowledged that Guangdong is now & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;,But acknowledged & ldquo; in traditional culture,Guangdong does have the tendency of desertification & rdquo;。I think,This is due to the lack of understanding of the traditional culture of Guangdong。According to my inspection and research,Guangdong is not only & ldquo; Desert & rdquo;,Even in several fields, it is still rare & ldquo; oasis & rdquo;。

Examine and evaluate the cultural achievements and status of a place,You can have different angles。This article tries from the perspective of cultural geography,Through ancient writers、Ancient Academy、National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit、National History and Cultural City (Famous Village)、Geographical distribution of five cultural elements of national intangible cultural heritage,Come to examine and evaluate the achievements of Guangdong in traditional culture and its status in the country,To respond to the so -called & ldquo; Guangdong Cultural Desert said & rdquo;。

 

  From the geographical distribution of ancient writers

Ancient Chinese writers and contemporary writers are very different。Speaking,Ancient writers,None of the literature as a special profession,All versatile bet365 best casino games people,All who have been educated,This is the most cultural part of the ancient times。

How many scholars are distributed in a place,Reflected the advantages and disadvantages of a place of nature and the human environment,It is also one of the important indicators to measure the level of local cultural development。

According to Tan Zhengzheng、The Statistics of the Chinese Literature Dictionary, published by Guangmingshu Bureau in 1934,It has an impact in ancient China、Among the 6375 writers who can test in their own test,Cantonese has 114 -bit。Although this number is not too much,But in 32 provinces across the country、City、Autonomous Region (including Taiwan,excluding Hong Kong and Macau) ranked 15th in the middle。

We don’t want to simply think,Beijing behind Guangdong、Gansu and other 17 provinces (cities、Area) The cultural environment is not as good as Guangdong's excellent,But how can we reach the conclusion that Guangdong is a & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo; If Guangdong is a & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;,So Beijing behind Guangdong、Gansu and other 17 provinces (cities、Area) What is it?

 

  From the geographical distribution of ancient colleges

The Academy is an ancient Chinese university,Privately run more than half,Nearly half of the official -oriented。From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty,The academy has existed on the land of China for more than a thousand years。Contents taught and studied by the academy,It is mainly Confucian classics and the works of scientists。In ancient,Is there an academy in one place,How many academies are there,Not only reflects the school's ability to run the place,It also reflects the development level of academic culture of the place。

According to Wang Bingzhao's "Ancient Chinese Academy" (Business Press,1998 edition) One book statistics,In the 6385 academy in ancient China,Guangdong bet365 best casino games accounts for 446,31 provinces across the country、City、Autonomous Region and Special Administrative Region (including Taiwan、Hong Kong,No Macau,Chongqing is included in Sichuan Province) ranking fifth,second only to Jiangxi、Zhejiang、Sichuan and Hunan 4 provinces。If we admit that the academy is a high -level education and academic cultural institution,So,Can we say,In terms of higher education and academic culture,After the Song Dynasty,Especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,What is the advanced row of Guangdong in Guangdong? If Guangdong is a & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;,So,Henan behind Guangdong、Fujian、Beijing、Shanghai and other 26 provinces (cities、Area) What is it?

 

  From the geographical distribution of key cultural relics protection units in the country

Human cultural heritage includes material cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage,Among them, material and cultural heritage (that is, those who have history、Cultural relics of art and scientific value) include three components: one is & ldquo;,Including ancient sites、Ancient tombs、Ancient architecture、Grotto Temple、Stone carvings、murals、Modern important historical traces and representative buildings, etc.; The second is & ldquo;,That is important physical objects in various eras、Artwork、Literature、Manuscript、Book information, etc.; Third, & ldquo; Historical and cultural cities and blocks、Village & rdquo;,That is those & ldquo;、Uniform distribution or the combination of environmental views & rdquo; historical and cultural city、blocks and villages and towns (see the "Notice of State Council on Strengthening the Protection of Cultural Heritage",promulgated on December 22, 2005)。

Just & ldquo;,In our country,Everyone is the most important,or the highest level,It is the Bet365 lotto review cultural relics of those key cultural relics protection units & rdquo;。According to statistics,1961 & mdash; 2006,The State Council has announced 6 batches of 2348 & ldquo; National key cultural relics protection units & rdquo;,Among them, Guangdong has 66 places,31 provinces across the country、City、Autonomous Region (excluding Hong Kong、Macau、Taiwan) is ranked 14th。Although we can't simply think,In terms of the possession of the national key cultural relics protection unit & rdquo;,Hunan after living in Guangdong、Anhui、Jiangxi、Shanghai and other 17 provinces、City、The culture of the autonomous region is less than the development of Guangdong,But no matter what,It is impossible for us to conclude that Guangdong is a conclusion of & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;。If the 14th place in Guangdong, which has the ownership of the national key cultural relics protection unit & rdquo;,So 17 provinces behind Guangdong、City、What is the autonomous region?

 

  From the perspective of the geographical distribution of national historical and cultural cities and villages

According to statistics,1982 & mdash; 1994,The State Council has announced three batches of 99 & ldquo; national historical and cultural cities & rdquo; 2003 and 2005,The Ministry of Construction and the State Administration of Cultural Relics announced two batches of 36 & ldquo; national historical and cultural villages & rdquo;。Where,31 provinces across the country、City、Autonomous Region (excluding Hong Kong、Macau、Taiwan) 99 & ldquo; national historical and cultural city & rdquo; middle,6 Guangdong,That is Guangzhou、Chaozhou、Zhaoqing、Foshan、Meizhou、Haikang (Leizhou),and Shandong、Shaanxi side by side,second only to Henan、Jiangsu、Sichuan 3 province。18 provinces across the country、City、36 & ldquo; national historical and cultural villages,Guangdong actually has 5,ranking first。

bet365 Play online games One in the national historical and cultural city & rdquo;,State in the nation's No. 1 province in terms of the possession of the national historical and cultural village & rdquo;,It was actually said to be a & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;! If this province is still a & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;,Then there are too many & ldquo; cultural desert & rdquo;

 

  From the perspective of the geographical distribution of national intangible cultural heritage

The so -called intangible cultural heritage,& ldquo; refers to various types of intangible forms that are closely related to the life of the masses、Traditional cultural expression forms inherited from generation to generation,Including oral tradition、Traditional Performance Art、Folklore activities and etiquette and festivals、Folk traditional knowledge and practice about nature and universe、Traditional handicraft skills, etc.,Cultural space related to the above traditional cultural expression form。& rdquo;,promulgated on December 22, 2005) Specifically,Intangible cultural heritage mainly includes folk literature、Music、Dance、Traditional drama、Quyi、Acrobatic and competitive、Folk Art、Traditional handmade skills、Traditional Medicine、Folklore and other 10 categories。2006,The State Council announced the first batch of & ldquo; national intangible cultural heritage list & rdquo;,Covering the above 10 categories of 527 items,Among them, Guangdong has 22 items,In 31 provinces、City、Autonomous Region (excluding Hong Kong、Macau、Taiwan) ranked 6th。It can be seen that Guangdong's own amount of national intangible cultural heritage & rdquo;。If you have such a quantity、Guangdong, which is so high in the ranking, is still a & ldquo; cultural desert & ldquo;,So 25 provinces behind Guangdong、City、What is the autonomous region?

Geographical distribution of five cultural elements above,Examine the location of Guangdong in the country,From this we can judge,Guangdong's contribution to traditional Chinese Bet365 lotto review culture,and the status it possesses in the traditional Chinese cultural pattern。

The growth of cultural people is inseparable from the influence of educational and cultural and academic institutions (including colleges),After the cultural people grow up,will create various material and cultural achievements (including non -mobile cultural relics and historical and cultural cities、Famous Village) and Intangible Cultural Achievements,So the above five cultural elements,It was originally chosen to follow the development logic of the culture,Not the choice of randomness,What is it & ldquo;。Anyone can pass through your own angle,Come to the traditional culture or modern culture of Guangdong,As a specific inspection。I firmly believe,To examine the culture of Guangdong no matter from what angle,It is impossible to conclude that Guangdong is a conclusion of & ldquo; cultural desert & ldquo;。

About Guangdong's modern culture and its leading position in the country,People have already talked a lot,I don’t repeat it anymore。I only talk about the traditional culture of Guangdong here。Macro saying,Traditional Culture in Guangdong,In China's traditional cultural pattern,belongs to the middle and upper level; modern culture in Guangdong,In China's modern cultural pattern,belongs to the advanced ranks。About Guangdong is a & ldquo; cultural desert & ldquo;,Judging from the perspective of modern culture,still judge from the perspective of traditional culture,Can't be established。
