Extending the 'Foreign Trade Special Exhibition' to a 'Great Ideological and Political Course' in Guangdong, the millennium old business network continues to open up and embrace
The tide rises in Pazhou, where thousands of merchants gather. At the grand opening of the 139th Canton Fair, global attention once again focuses on Guangzhou, a millennium old commercial city, where business opportunities surge and confidence blends.
On the other hand, in the Museum of the Pearl River Province on the bank of the Pearl River, the special exhibition of "Mutual Benefit: A Thousand Years of Guangdong's Foreign Trade" sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee has continued after half a year of popularity since it was launched last October. This is not just a cultural feast, but also a carefully crafted "Great Ideological and Political Course" for society in Guangdong.
One end is connected to current economic and trade practices, and the other end is connected to a thousand year old business culture. Guangdong, as the vanguard of reform and opening up and the forefront of opening up to the outside world, is transforming its profound historical confidence into strategic determination to overcome difficulties through this dialogue between ancient and modern times, and gathering a magnificent force of unity, struggle, and cooperation.
Cultural relics as evidence
Foreign trade exhibition becomes a three-dimensional textbook
Entering the exhibition hall, I saw warm lights spreading down. The display of Yuan blue and white jade teapots and spring vases, porcelain from the sunken ship "Nanhai No.1", and Guangcai export porcelain is not only a trade route, but also a history of the Chinese nation's open struggle for "long and beautiful scenery".
These precious relics that have traveled through time are vivid teaching materials for carrying out historical confidence education. By delving deeper into this thread, one will discover that Guangdong has maintained the resilience of 'born into the sea' from ancient times to the present day. This enduring vitality stems not only from the courage of institutional innovation, but also from an open and inclusive mindset.
This high-level thematic exhibition goes beyond the simple display of cultural relics and becomes a three-dimensional textbook. The strong inscription on the "birth certificate" of the 1957 Canton Fair solidified China's firm belief in actively embracing the world. Cultural relics silently declare: openness is the gene engraved in the bones of the people on this land; Mutual benefit is the password for us to join hands and win the future.
As a cultural person
Creating Boundless Immersive Classrooms
How did Guangdong's foreign trade go down in history? "" Why did Guangzhou goods' go global '
In the Guangdong Expo themed classroom, these questions are no longer academic discussions in the study, but practical inquiries related to current development confidence. Scholars such as Anton Qiang, head of the Department of History at Sun Yat sen University, and Luo Yixing, an expert in Ming and Qing economic history, gave lectures to the public, recounting the legend of Foshan manufacturing and the evolution of the foreign trade system.
This is a vivid practice of Guangdong's promotion of the "big ideological and political" work pattern - combining ideological and political small classrooms with social big classrooms. The exhibition breaks the traditional boundaries of education and turns the exhibition hall into a boundaryless, immersive learning place. A hundred themed activities will be held in government agencies, campuses, and enterprises to strengthen the sense of responsibility of party members and cadres in reviewing history, and to strengthen the ideals of the younger generation in ideological and political education.
Academic lectures decoded the genes of Guangzhou goods, Lao and Guang made friends to tell the story of the eventful years, and the the Pearl River research trip witnessed the new look of the ancient port. Here, history is no longer rigid data, but a glimpse into the future. Through various platforms such as experiential workshops, online live broadcasts, and accessible sessions, Guangdong is building a lifelong learning social ecology where everyone can learn, learn everywhere, and learn anytime. This kind of subtle and silent education allows the spirit of openness, innovative character, and patriotism to truly enter the mind and heart, transforming into a common will of openness and strength.
a gathering place for merchants
Continuing to write a high-level open new chapter in historical confidence
At the 139th Canton Fair, new products such as new energy equipment, intelligent manufacturing, and green low-carbon products were showcased, echoing the porcelain, tea, and other products showcased at the Millennium Foreign Trade Exhibition.
From ocean going merchant ships sailing from ancient ports to today's global economic and trade platforms, Guangdong, as a forefront of opening up to the outside world, has gone through many experiences. Today, the mission is even more arduous: not only to be a hub for trade, but also to be a connector and leader of rules.
A thousand years ago, porcelain and tea carried civilization across oceans; Nowadays, the Canton Fair has become a window for China to showcase its institutional confidence and industrial vitality to the world. From traditional Guangzhou goods to "Made in China", what has changed is the form of goods, but what remains unchanged is the spirit of "daring to be the first, open and inclusive". This passionate gaze that transcends time and space clearly demonstrates that no matter how turbulent the external environment may be, as long as we adhere to high-level opening-up and the original intention of mutual benefit and win-win, we can better embrace new opportunities and write new glories.
Over a thousand years, a new blueprint has been drawn for both ancient and modern times. This thematic exhibition, which has been held for half a year, has brought a profound ideological tempering and spiritual baptism. It shapes the soul with history and cultivates cultural people, allowing open genes to deeply plant in people's hearts. This year's Canton Fair is also transforming this confidence that has come from the depths of history into a vivid practice of promoting high-quality development with a high spirited attitude. In the future, Guangdong will deepen cooperation with more pragmatic measures and embrace the world with a more open attitude.
