(Xinhua/Zhang Long)A think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency released on Wednesday a report examining the historical origins, spiritual essence, and contemporary value of Kunlun culture.
The National High-Level Think Tank of the Xinhua News Agency unveiled the Chinese and English versions of the report at the Kunlun Culture Forum in Xining, capital of northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The report describes Kunlun culture as an important origin of Chinese civilization and a vital spiritual emblem of the Chinese nation. It said the culture offers both theoretical and practical guidance for carrying forward fine traditional Chinese culture, forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and advancing exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.
Stretching over 2,500 km across western China with an average elevation surpassing 5,000 meters, the towering Kunlun Mountains have long been revered as "the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all waters."
Drawing on archaeological evidence and historical records, the report said Kunlun culture carries the historical memory of shared origins and symbiosis among ethnic groups in three dimensions: the cosmic cognition of early Chinese people, the spiritual homeland of the Chinese nation, and the territorial symbol of ancient China. It also confirmed the unity in diversity and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization.
The report summarizes five core values of Kunlun culture: harmony between man and nature, great unity, vigorous self-improvement, cherishing life and caring for the people, and all under heaven as one family.
Rooted in millennia of cultural inheritance and ethnic integration, these values have shaped the cosmological view, the state view, the ethos of great resolve and perseverance, the people-centered view, and the worldview of Chinese civilization.
In the new era, Kunlun culture has undergone creative transformation and innovative development.
Local regions have tapped into Kunlun cultural resources and made coordinated efforts to advance cultural inheritance, ethnic unity, ecological conservation and industrial development, said the report.
Through initiatives such as themed study tours, folk performances, and integrated cultural and tourism development, the regions are achieving cultural inheritance, the continuity of national ethos, and the improvement of people's incomes and well-being.
"Exploring the wisdom embedded in Kunlun culture can provide a temperate yet profound Chinese approach to dissolving antagonism among civilizations and resolving development dilemmas," the report noted.
It added that the concepts of "harmony between man and nature" and "all under heaven as one family" in Kunlun culture offer precious oriental wisdom for resolving ecological challenges, civilizational estrangement, and geopolitical antagonism, and for advancing the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
In Chinese mythology, Kunlun is a sacred peak where the Queen Mother of the West resides and where the Yellow Emperor, the cultural progenitor of the Chinese nation, built palaces to inaugurate the civilization of ritual and music.
At least nearly 20 ethnic groups, including the Qiang, Yi, Jingpo and Pumi, trace their ancestry to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. Since modern times, Kunlun has been a spiritual homeland for the Chinese, often eulogized to invigorate the national spirit in times of national peril.

二 | 2022年英国公开赛资格赛于当地时间8月9日至14日进行，采取7战4胜制，参赛的128名球员都将进行一轮资格赛，胜者进入正赛，世界排名前16位的球员将在正赛期间进行资格赛。英国公开赛正赛将于当地时间9月26日至10月2日举行。在本次英国公开赛资格赛中，28人参赛的中国军团再创参加排名赛人数的新高，其中“中国台球领军人物”丁俊晖和因“殴打女性事件”被禁赛的梁文博均将在此次资格赛中上演赛季首秀。
三 | 在当地时间9日揭幕的资格赛首日赛事中，5名中国选手率先登场，其中最引人关注的是30岁的张安达迎战53岁的“台球皇帝”亨德利。2010年斯诺克世锦赛，年仅18岁的张安达第一年征战职业排名赛，就从资格赛中杀出重围，声名鹊起。但在世锦赛正赛首轮，张安达的对手正是亨德利。在“台球皇帝”的强力阻击下，张安达未能更进一步。两年之后，43岁的亨德利宣布退役。12年后两人再次相遇，当初还很稚嫩的张安达已是一名经验丰富的职业选手，而在2020年选择复出的亨德利已是“廉颇老矣”。此役张安达前两局以2:0领先，第三局亨德利扳回一局，但随后，张安达分别以78:0和75:0连续两局零封对手，以大比分4:1报了12年前的一箭之仇。在不久前的欧洲大师赛资格赛中，亨德利以大比分0:5完败于马克·乔伊斯，昔日世界台球领域的超级巨星已无当年之勇。在资格赛首日其它几场赛事中，中国选手徐思、陈子凡、赵剑波、李行悉数获胜，挺进正赛。英国公开赛资格赛第二日，又将迎来4名中国选手，其中最引人注目的是奉献赛季首秀的丁俊晖，他的对手是子承父业的“95后”英国小将小莱恩斯。此外，另一位“80后”老将田鹏飞、刚在冠军联赛中杀入决赛的鲁宁，以及14岁时成为斯诺克史上最年轻的排名赛八强选手吕昊天，都将在当日登场亮相。(完)
