How to treat Xi 'an at home and abroad?

In China, there are actually two diametrically opposed views on Xi 'an. One is to support Xi 'an, praise Xi 'an, like Xi 'an, especially feel proud of Xi 'an's splendid history and culture, admire and respect Xi 'an; One is to constantly ridicule and dig at Xi 'an, because Xi 'an's economy is not satisfactory, and at the same time satirize Xi 'an's remarks that "there is only history". For foreign countries, it is basically the previous attitude, that is, I like Xi 'an and praise Xi 'an.

Why does China have two attitudes? In fact, it must be admitted that some people in China are too impetuous. They took pains to satirize "Xi 'an has only history left" simply because of their reckless neglect. In these people's eyes, only Xi 'an talks about history, and only China talks about history.

What is the truth? Not only China, but also the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain and other countries regard history and culture as key protected areas. Although the United States has a history of less than 300 years, it cherishes its own history extremely. South Korea even applied for the Dragon Boat Festival. It can be seen that in China, the protection, inheritance and development of history and culture should and must be affirmed. And those who satirize Xi 'an's protection of history all day have obviously become a laughing stock.

If a nation wants to develop, it must go back to its own history to find out the reasons; At the same time, history has provided this nation with experience, lessons and reflections, but if this nation still reviles history, can it revive? To revive the Chinese nation, we must pay attention to the rise and fall and changes of the ancient spiritual and cultural capital Xi.

Therefore, Xi 'an is necessary and worthy of first affirmation. People who love history and culture love her history and culture. People who are good at communication like the simplicity and frankness of people here. Xi 'an is too heavy for your perfunctory work. Only by going deep into it and observing and thinking for a long time can we understand her.

Say the answer first:

Xi 'an is praised internationally and Xi 'an is praised at home. According to statistics, almost all foreign tourists coming to China will list Xi as one of the must-see cities.

First of all, we promoted the Terracotta Warriors to the world, let many foreigners know that the Terracotta Warriors are in Xi, and felt it necessary to see this "eighth wonder of the world".

Secondly, China's most famous dynasties, including Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang, were based in An, so foreigners who love history and China are curious about An and want to see what the city has been like for thousands of years.

Thirdly, there are many cultural relics in Xi 'an, and any alley may contain a period of history and this cultural relic. This is very different from other cities. So naturally, tourists flock.

Fourthly, Xi 'an has a special sense of history. There are not many cities with ancient city walls in China, and Xi 'an is the most magnificent one. This combination of ancient city walls and modernity, whether in photos or videos, can make people feel a historical vicissitudes. Let many tourists have a good impression on Xi' an.

However, the domestic folk voices are much more discordant.

First, because Xi 'an is located inland, there is a big gap between Xi 'an and the first-tier cities in the south economically, and the traditional conservative thought has been criticized. So many people in economically developed areas think that Xi 'an is a place where bumpkins stay and there is nothing to visit.

Secondly, because Xi 'an's tourism industry is not very developed, the service quality of some scenic spots is really unsatisfactory, so that many tourists spit on the people around them after returning home, which makes many people wear colored glasses to Xi 'an.

Third, the geographical attack is very severe, so we won't call the roll here. However, some people are really influenced by the complex emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred. Therefore, all Xi will rebel and all Xi will become black. After a long time, there are always some people who don't know Xi 'an and are brought into the rhythm by these people.

Fourthly, some locals love my house and my dog, so the criticism of Xi 'an is harsh, but when it is magnified by some people, it becomes obvious proof that Xi 'an is not good, which brings trouble to the city and makes many foreign tourists have an opinion of Xi 'an.

But in any case, Xi is a famous historical city with a long history and splendid culture. With the continuous development and progress in all aspects, it has become more and more beautiful. Welcome everyone to visit Xi 'an often!

Internationally, one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, the world knows and understands China's window and business card, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, the capital of China's five most important, civilized and brilliant dynasties, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, the important birthplace and witness of world civilization, the originator of the western political system of "separation of powers" (three provinces and six departments in Sui Dynasty), and the first place in the world to enter the feudal social system and agricultural civilization.

In China, Xi 'an is the first of the four ancient capitals in China, known as the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty. It is an important birthplace, formation place and witness place of the Chinese nation and civilization. It has hundreds of thousands of years of human activities (Lantian ape-man skull), 8,000 years of history of building a city (the ancient country of Huaxu) and more than 1,000 years of history of building a capital. It is the political, economic and cultural history of the five unified dynasties of China, including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang. The Qin Dynasty, the Han culture, the Sui civilization and the glory of the Tang Dynasty centered on Zhou 'an have influenced the history of China for thousands of years. The "four unifications" promoted by the Qin Dynasty laid the foundation for the formation of China. The feudal imperial examination system established in Sui Dynasty has influenced the feudal society of China for more than a thousand years, and it is still playing a role today. The powerful Han Dynasty pushed China's influence to the world.

Xi is one of the nine central cities in China, a new starting point of the "Belt and Road" economic development strategy, and a new highland for the reform and opening up of inland cities in China. Xi is a national scientific research, military industry, communication, aerospace, science and education center, and it is a historical and cultural international metropolis that the country clearly wants to build.

I would like to say a few words

1. Internationally, Xi 'an's unified view is very positive. Foreigners traveling abroad generally have Xi 'an routes. They like terracotta warriors, city walls and many museums. Foreigners respect history very much. They take history seriously, with a feeling of learning and worship, without any contempt. They go to museums, record history with pens, express their feelings with feelings and articles, don't make noise in public, and rarely take pictures at will. Many countries in the world, such as the United States, Japan, South Korea and European countries, are historically stable. They pay attention to protecting history and culture. They regard this as the most precious wealth, which is what our people need to learn.

Second, the domestic, national, academic, archaeological and mainstream media are very active in inheriting and publicizing the history and culture of Xi, which is consistent with the world media. However, there is a lot of media hostility in our country, and some ignorant people indiscriminately think that history is not like this. They don't believe in the world, science, history and seriousness. This behavior is very harmful.

1. Failure to pass on the cultural history is to blur the cultural history of China and date the fault, which is a great violation.

2. Failure to inherit culture and history is extremely harmful to society, which is not conducive to the development of national cultural industries and the formation of mainstream ideology of the Chinese nation.

I can't carry forward the past and I don't know where I came from. What else do you develop? Only when a person knows where he comes from and where he is going can he have a direction and a goal. Are our nation headless flies?

4. History makes the dead speak. This kind of history is real. We living people are proving history. Is this not a joke? Compiling cultural and historical remarks is also a crime.

5. I hope that the state will crack down on historical and cultural speech, and if personal speech has no historical and cultural basis, it will also bear legal responsibility.

Why do foreigners choose Xi when they come to China? Because Xi 'an has a history of 6,000 years, including Terracotta Warriors, Xi 'an City Wall, Tang Daming Palace and Banpo Ruins. Why did you come to China to see the tall buildings? Only culture can be so charming!

Xi 'an is a myth and miracle in the world.

It is the fulcrum of pride of chinese and his new dream.

Restoring Chang 'an's great name is the best, and its soft power will be improved geometrically.

Internationally, Xi 'an is an outstanding representative of China's 5,000-year civilization and the traditional cultural center of China! World famous cultural tourism city! So foreign leaders and foreign friends like Xi 'an! Love the Terracotta Warriors! In the eyes of domestic people, Xi 'an is the ancient capital of the 13th dynasty, the Tang Dynasty! Northwest City, the capital of Shaanxi Province! The cultural heritage is profound! The economy is underdeveloped! Much more delicious and fun! In the eyes of some people in China, it is a city on a high loess slope! Fog, sand! Poor thing!

But I still like this Xi 'an!

Let's talk about international first

Chang 'an is famous internationally, especially in the Confucian cultural circle (Japan, North and South Korea, Vietnam, and even the whole Southeast Asia). After all, Chang 'an is a very important cultural symbol of classical China. In European and American countries, almost all tourists who come to China, whether traveling alone or in a group, have standard routes, such as Xi 'an City Wall and Terracotta Warriors, so Xi 'an is well-known to these people. At present, Xi 'an's international reputation is earned more from the capital of Chang 'an than Xi 'an now. As a native of Xi, I deeply understand this point, and even feel that showing people in Xi 'an today is somewhat inconsistent with Chang 'an, a little ashamed and only struggling. I hope Xi 'an can play a key role in the cultural exchange and material flow between Asia and Europe on the road of the rise of great powers, and restore Chang 'an in the name of Xi 'an.

Besides, at home.

In China, most of China people's impressions of Xi 'an come from the media impressions and fragmented word-of-mouth in the 20 years from the 1990s to the first decade of this century: there are many thieves, taxis refuse to take them, poor sense of conservative service, poor city appearance (the most typical railway station), backward urban construction, ethnic and religious problems in recent years, etc. In fact, apart from the so-called ethnic problems, China people's impressions are still very objective. So why this problem, this problem is * * *? Simply say a few points:

1, Xi is a tourist city, a scientific research city and a transit point for population movement. Before the opening of Xicheng High-speed Railway, people went into Sichuan and out of the northwest by train, so there were a large number of people in Xi 'an, picky tourists, college students and researchers with a little culture or petty, and informal workers. When these people get together, the social cognitive collision between them will be fierce. As individuals, they don't look for labels on others, so they can only label people who don't belong to their own cognitive category as "Xi Anmin". Therefore, the impression of Xi people and Xi people went to the whole country in all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction.

2. China people's psychological expectation of Xi 'an is actually very high. I believe that in the eyes of most children who received normal basic education in the 1980s and 1990s, Xi 'an is one of the largest cities in China 10, even though Xi 'an's GDP ranking at that time was not even comparable to that now. When they walked out of Xi 'an Railway Station with a lot of expectations for Xi, even with the mentality of "seeing Chang 'an", they told themselves that Xi 'an was safe except for the wall they faced. More is the chaotic hot color of China in the square in front of the station, and then it is transported to scenic spots and campuses by crowded buses and rough taxis. You can imagine what their psychology is. ...

3. Of course, the above problems are actually common in most cities in China, but they are not necessarily prominent in Xi 'an, but are concentrated in the windows of public opinion: railway stations and university towns. ...

Xi 'an: Four ancient capitals in the world, the first ancient capital of China, the starting point of the Silk Road, and the only historical and cultural city in China recognized by UNESCO.

We Xi people don't care what others think of Xi people. Look at it any way you want. We are still in Xi 'an, which is different from Xi 'an.
