By collecting archaeological data and rereading ancient texts, Claude Rapin will lead us to understand this side wall and its long-term evolution at the administrative, political and military levels.

Time:19:00 on Monday, June 21st.

Location:Tencent conference

Speaker:Bai Yudong (Professor, Institute of Dunhuang Studies, Lanzhou University)

Taking the grottoes and temples in Dunhuang, Turpan, Beiting and Hohhot as the core, a number of multilingual inscriptions from the Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties remain in the northwest. Inscriptions reflect the political power structure that supported grottoes and temples in history, as well as the belief of Buddhists, etc. They are precious historical materials. Among them, Uighur inscriptions are second only to Chinese in number, and the characters used include Runi, Uighur, Syrian, Brahmi and so on. Some of these inscriptions support the title of the Uighur ruling class of Buddhism, some reflect the writer’s belief background of Manichaeism, Nestorianism and Buddhism, and some are prayers. The interpretation and study of these inscriptions will help to describe the tour route of Uighur Buddhists and the history of Wutai Mountain belief, explore the real origin of "Shazhou Uighur" in the middle and late 11th century, show the real scene of the integration of Manichaeism, Nestorianism and Buddhism along the Silk Road, and dig out the truth of the spread and blending of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism in the northwest. The historical linguistic value of these inscriptions needs to be further explored.

Beijing | Photography and the Forbidden City

Time:15:00 on Friday, June 18th.

Location:Room 208, Peking University Jingyuan Second Hospital, No.5 Summer Palace Road, Haidian District

Speaker:Xu Jianing (Historical Imager)

As a special building complex, the Forbidden City will almost become the focus of photography at every major node in China’s history. The barrier between China court and photography, a western art, was gradually broken in the long years of 50 or 60 years. In this process, we can see that photography made initial contact with court officials in the southern port city, which is far from the center of the empire. Slowly, more and more princes and ministers left personal images in front of the camera, and finally the queen mother, emperor and their daily activities, who were at the core of power, were included in the camera. This inevitable process of opening up in today’s understanding is clearly reflected in the photos about the Forbidden City and the royal family. These photos are kept as many aspects of historical research in different periods, and there is also room for discussion.

Copywriter, or many creative workers, one of the biggest puzzles in their work is that they can’t find the criteria for judging creativity. Many times there is no direction, so we can only speculate without a clue. In Dongdong gun’s view, "self-cultivation is the foundation, and it is not just the foundation. Sometimes it is better to achieve the highest level than to cultivate. Part of the cultivation at that time refers to whether you can still stick to those basic correct understandings. " On June 19th, Jiantou Bookstore and CITIC Publishing House presented the reading salon of Basic Accomplishment of Copywriting for readers, and invited three guests, namely, author Dongdong Gun, creative senior director of Huge Engine Marketing, Hu Yongqiang and creative director of Ogilvy & Mather Advertising Group, to talk about creative work and its basic accomplishment.

Beijing | Prehistoric Modernization —— Back to China 10,000 years ago

Location:Lecture Hall, Floor 2, Building A, Capital Library, No.88 East Third Ring South Road, Chaoyang District

Speaker: Chen Shengqian (Professor, Department of Archaeology and Culture, School of History, Renmin University of China)

If we had the chance to travel to China 10,000 years ago, what would we see? It was another major social change comparable to our current modernization process: human beings have adapted from hunting and gathering life for millions of years to agricultural production. China and West Asia are the two earliest centers of agricultural origin in the world. The agricultural origin of prehistoric China profoundly influenced the development of China culture. Back in China 10,000 years ago, we will also see other diverse cultural adaptation choices, which were the harbingers of the later pluralistic and integrated Chinese civilization. Understanding the process of prehistoric modernization is a key for us to understand the formation of China’s cultural tradition.

Jin Ping Mei is an absolutely realistic and honest work, but it becomes full of twists and turns and challenges in reading because it is too honest.

Guest:Wang Dun (Associate Professor, School of Literature, China Renmin University) and Huang Ximeng (writer and media person).

We often hear that this is an era in which literature is marginalized, but it is precisely an era in which literature is pervasive. Whether watching movies, following dramas, listening to songs, playing games, or even playing coslay, script killing and escaping from the secret room, we are all dealing with literature. People who really have nothing to do with literature do not exist. When we no longer hold the obsession with serious reading, we will taste the sweetness of literature, complete the growth of personality in the fictional "heroic journey", or realize individual redemption in the literary dream.

Shanghai | Stream of Memory: Iron Gate of Concession, a River Closure

Time:June 20th (Sunday) 14:00-16:00

Location:3F Theater of Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, No.678 Miaojiang Road, Huangpu District

Speaker:Ma Jun (Director, Modern History Research Office, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences)

The people staying in the city are like the surges and blockages of water bodies, in which there are countless forces interacting, and finally they always leave vague but traceable marks. The iron gate in the concession in Shanghai history is such a story. From Shiliupu to the French-Chinese border of Xieqiao, the French Concession authorities built nearly 40 iron gates in front of and behind the major traffic points. The iron gate in the concession lasted for 20 years from the beginning of construction to the final demolition in early 1946. In the meantime, their opening and closing, full opening and half closing, and the need to check the license until they are completely passed, all have a great impact on the political, economic and social life of Shanghai. The micro-narration of the role of these iron gates in the city in history can give us a glimpse of the living conditions in Shanghai at that time and think about the factors and influences that blocked the flow.
