由國家文化和旅游部、中國社會科學(xué)院共同主辦，中外文化交流中心承辦的2018“漢學(xué)與當(dāng)代中國”座談會在北京開幕。其間，來自24個國家的28位漢學(xué)家、中國問題研究專家和智庫學(xué)者以及11位中方學(xué)者，圍繞“改革開放40年——中國與世界”這一主題進(jìn)行深入交流與對話。隨后，專家學(xué)者一行走進(jìn)浙江，實地考察調(diào)研浙江鄉(xiāng)村振興發(fā)展經(jīng)驗，親身感悟體驗浙江人文山水底蘊。

今年正值中國改革開放40周年，改革開放對中國和中國人民影響之深遠(yuǎn)前所未有。40年的改革開放，使中國走出了一條與世界共贏發(fā)展的道路。

座談會期間，外方學(xué)者代表、白俄羅斯文化部前任部長斯維特洛夫·鮑里斯（Svetlov Boris）在致辭時表示，此次座談會在“改革開放40年——中國與世界”主題下分設(shè)了“中國發(fā)展新理念與國際合作新前景”“‘一帶一路與共同發(fā)展”“中國文化與人類命運共同體”三個議題，鮮明體現(xiàn)著中國與世界的共性和特殊性。

在他看來，中國文化是一條獨特的“絲綢之路”，它不僅存在于地理空間，而且也存在于歷史長河的坐標(biāo)軸上。中西方長期互為補充，相互借鑒先進(jìn)的科技成果、哲學(xué)思想和藝術(shù)思想。如果說從前人類的交流是戰(zhàn)爭先行，之后才是商貿(mào)往來，文化價值在此之后才被轉(zhuǎn)化，那么在今天文化則成了先行者，促進(jìn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)和貿(mào)易。這種軟實力促進(jìn)并加強了人民之間的友好關(guān)系，增進(jìn)了彼此的了解。

“漢學(xué)與當(dāng)代中國”座談會至今已舉辦六屆，共邀請到來自56個國家的150位具有國際影響力的漢學(xué)家、學(xué)者參與，為各國中國學(xué)研究者、智庫專家搭建了一個學(xué)術(shù)交流與信息溝通的專業(yè)平臺，促進(jìn)中外高端思想文化交流與合作，提升國際中國學(xué)研究水平。

“有交流才有借鑒?！痹谡憬陂g，專家學(xué)者一行先后赴浙江美麗鄉(xiāng)村、杭州人文景點及阿里巴巴集團(tuán)考察調(diào)研，開展交流座談。許多漢學(xué)家在實地參觀考察以后，對浙江堅持改革發(fā)放所取得的翻天覆地的變化表示了由衷的贊嘆。“沒想到，浙江的一個小山村能發(fā)展得這么好、這么美。這里資源豐富、村莊整潔，我很喜歡?！泵绹驴怂_斯南方大學(xué)歷史與地理學(xué)系副教授羅杰說，這是他根本沒有想到的。

在阿里巴巴總部，專家學(xué)者們就“互聯(lián)網(wǎng)與人類命運共同體”這一話題進(jìn)行了交流。格魯吉亞漢學(xué)家協(xié)會主席JIBLADZE（瑪麗亞）對雙方加強文化交流，特別是開展商務(wù)合作等表示了強烈的興趣。她希望幫助兩國人民加強互相了解，建議通過孔子學(xué)院或者通過協(xié)會，邀請阿里巴巴的代表到格魯吉亞最好的大學(xué)講課。用她的話說，除了中文系，還有商務(wù)、數(shù)學(xué)、計算機等不同專業(yè)的學(xué)生，都非常想了解中國。現(xiàn)在大學(xué)里學(xué)商務(wù)漢語的人非常多，他們想通過漢語或者是通過孔子學(xué)院更好地了解中國，加強與中國的交流，比如開展貿(mào)易、發(fā)展友好商務(wù)合作等。

在中國絲綢博物館，漢學(xué)家們進(jìn)一步了解了中國絲綢的發(fā)展歷程及其傳播至西方的萬里絲路；在大運河歷史文化街區(qū)、京杭大運河博物館等地，專家學(xué)者們一邊體驗非遺手工藝制作技藝，一邊對中國博大精深的文化底蘊和傳承保護(hù)給予了充分的肯定。正如哈佛大學(xué)肯尼迪政府學(xué)院非常駐高級研究員柯保羅所說，浙江之行，讓漢學(xué)家們更加直觀地感受到中國創(chuàng)新、協(xié)調(diào)、綠色、開放、共享的發(fā)展理念，幫助大家樹立共贏發(fā)展、共謀福祉的全球視野。

漢學(xué)家是從事中國研究的外國學(xué)者，也是傳播中國文化的重要使者。在這里，他們的共同語言是漢語。

自2013年舉辦首屆“漢學(xué)與當(dāng)代中國”座談會以來，中外知名專家學(xué)者就中國文化與漢學(xué)研究分享真知灼見，對當(dāng)代中國與共同發(fā)展等議題展開深度剖析，獲得了國內(nèi)外學(xué)界的一致認(rèn)可和高度評價。

Jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and China Academy of Social Sciences and organized by the Center for International and Cultural Education， a seminar for sinologists， China experts and think tank scholars was held from July 23 to 28 first in Beijing and then Hangzhou. The participants included 28 international scholars and 11 Chinese scholars. Discussions centered on “China and World： 40 Years of Reform and Opening up”. The participants were in Beijing for two days and then tripped all the way from Beijing to Zhejiang for a field study to experience the contemporary China with a focus on the rural development and revitalization of Zhejiang and the provinces culture and history.

The year 2018 marked the 40th anniversary of Chinas reform and opening-up to the outside world. This strategic drive has brought about unprecedented changes in both China and Chinese people. In the 40 years， China has blazed a new path for a win-win growth with the world.

Mr. Boris Svetlov， the former Belarusian Culture Minister， spoke at the seminar. There were three topics at the seminar： new development theory for China and new future for international cooperation， Belt and Road Initiative and shared development， Chinese culture and a community of shared future for humanity. Mr. Boris Svetlov said the three topics highlighted what China and the rest of the world had in common and what differences there were.

In his opinion， in the past， wars came before trade and cultural exchanges； today， culture helps boost economy and trade. This soft power promotes and strengthens friendship between peoples and enhances mutual understanding.

The seminar this year was the sixth since its inception in 2013. So far， about 150 international scholars from 56 countries have attended the annual event. It has served as a platform for promoting high-end academic and cultural exchanges and cooperation and enhancing sinology across the world.

The scholars and experts visited Anji， a rural county in northern Zhejiang for a view of profound changes in rural areas across the province. They also visited places of historical and cultural interests around Hangzhou. They visited Alibaba， the global E-commerce giant headquartered in the city.

Most of these visitors had spent years in China and they knew what China looked like in the past. Some of them first visited China decades ago. They were deeply impressed with the profound changes Anji presented.

In Alibaba headquarters， the international visitors and Alibaba management talked about internet and a community of a shared future for humanity. Ms. Jibladze， president of Georgian Sinologists Association， expressed a strong interest in boosting business ties between Georgia and China. She hoped to invite Alibaba experts， with the assistance of Confucius Institute or the sinologists association， to give lectures at the best universities in Georgia. According to her， students who took Chinese， mathematics， business and computer science as majors were all eager to learn more about China.

At China National Silk Museum， the visitors learned about the history of silk which originated in China and the Silk Road which started in China and extended all the way to the west. The visitors took a boat tour on the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal that connects Hangzhou in the south and Beijing in the north. Mr. Paul Clifford， a researcher with Kennedy School of Government， commented that the trip to Zhejiang enabled the experts to make a direct sense of Chinas development theory which featured innovation， coordination， greenness， openness， and share. He said that the theory helped establish a global perspective for a win-win development and shared benefits.

Sinologists are international scholars engaged in China studies. They are also messengers of Chinese culture. Since its inception in 2013， “Sinology and Contemporary China” has served as a platform where sinologists have shared insights into Chinese culture and made progress in sinology studies， looked into contemporary China and common development. The annual event has been highly spoken of and recognized among the sinologists across the world.
