古絲綢之路，宛如一軸內(nèi)容豐贍、明珠薈萃的長(zhǎng)卷， 見(jiàn)證中西方文明交流互鑒。 綿延萬(wàn)里、 延續(xù)千年的絲綢之路，積淀了以多元共存、和平合作、開放包容、互學(xué)互鑒、互利共贏為核心的絲路精神， 是人類文明的寶貴遺產(chǎn)。 這條橫貫東西的文化交流通道， 如今又以新面貌呈現(xiàn)于世人眼前，在“一帶一路”倡議下，絲路精神跨越千年依然熠熠生輝。西安是絲綢之路理論上的起點(diǎn)，但杭州絲綢起源非常早，尤其是宋元時(shí)期后，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)重心南移，浙江憑借發(fā)達(dá)的桑蠶絲織業(yè)，成為絲綢主產(chǎn)地之一，還有青瓷、茶葉等獨(dú)具中國(guó)文化特征的商品，經(jīng)過(guò)貿(mào)易往來(lái)，被運(yùn)往中國(guó)各地、世界各地。由此，浙江成為古代陸上、海上絲綢之路的重要節(jié)點(diǎn)。

“2021 絲綢之路周”在杭州開幕、在寧波閉幕，彰顯了浙江在陸上、海上絲綢之路中的重要地位。這一周，吸引了國(guó)內(nèi)外數(shù)百家文博機(jī)構(gòu)共同參與，推出的一系列活動(dòng)獲得一大批國(guó)際組織、國(guó)內(nèi)外文博機(jī)構(gòu)點(diǎn)贊。 在“云端” ，絲路周熱度也持續(xù)不斷。微博上，絲綢之路沿線 30 多家博物館聯(lián)動(dòng)形成文物海報(bào)接力; 圍繞“石窟寺探秘” 與“遺產(chǎn)點(diǎn)亮絲路” 主題， 22 家博物館開展接力直播; 抖音平臺(tái)上，數(shù)十家絲綢之路沿線文博機(jī)構(gòu)和專家以短視頻的形式講述絲路故事……從國(guó)內(nèi)到國(guó)外，從線上到線下，在一場(chǎng)場(chǎng)流光溢彩的文化盛典中，絲路古道有了新演繹，文明交融更深更廣 。

Cultural Diversity and Sustainable Development

Like a long scroll painting， the ancient Silk Road has born witness to the exchanges between the Chinese and Western civilizations. The Silk Road， spanning thousands of miles and standing for thousands of years， is also a symbol of the Silk Road Spirit， namely cultural diversity， peace and cooperation， openness and inclusiveness， mutual learning and mutual benefit. It is a precious heritage of human civilization. Now， this cultural exchange channel linking the East and the West has taken on a new look. Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative， the Silk Road Spirit is still shining after millennia.

While the city of Xian is generally regarded as the starting point of the Silk Road， Hangzhous production of silk began much earlier. During and after the Song （960-1279） and Yuan （1206-1368） dynasties， as the nations economic center moved south， Zhejiang became one of the major silk production bases with its highly developed sericulture industry. Zhejiang is also famed for its celadon， tea and many other goods with unique Chinese cultural characteristics， which spread all over China and the world via trade. Indeed， Zhejiang had long been a significant part of the ancient Silk Road by land and by sea.

The “2021 Silk Road Week”， which opened on June 18 in Hangzhou and closed on June 24 in Ningbo， has once again shown Zhejiangs importance along the Silk Road.

This year， the Week attracted hundreds of domestic and foreign cultural institutions and museums， rolling out a series of onsite and online activities that won praises from international organizations， participants and visitors. On Weibo， the microblogging site， over 30 museums along the Silk Road took part in a “poster relay”， each posting photos of their most representative Silk Road objects and artifacts on the platform. Focusing on the themes “exploring cave temples” and “cultural relics along the Silk Road”， some 22 museums conducted a “l(fā)ive-streaming relay”. On Douyin， dozens of cultural institutions and museums as well as experts told vivid stories about the Silk Road via short videos…Home and abroad， online and offline， these events have imbued the ancient Silk Road with a new charm， and have helped deepen exchanges between different civilizations.
