China and Russia is the models of inter-civilization communication and dialogues

 Under the complicated and challenging world situation and with the pressure of the increasing of global economy downturn now, anti-establishment, anti-elite, anti-globalization, anti-free trade and other trends are overflow which bring unstable factors to the world. Others have raised the fallacy of "contest of civilizations" and "clash of civilizations", enhance the international tensions. In this circumstance, China and Russia, two major civilizations of different types, are taking practical actions to promote communication of ideas, cultural integration and people-to-people dialogues. It has been proved that civilizations can be enriched through communication and mutual learning. China and Russia are working to build a new type of international relations and a community with a Shared Future for mankind through dialogue rather than confrontation and partnership over alliance.

  First of all, China and Russia has become a model of world civilization communication. Undoubtedly, there are difference in China and Russia in the origin of civilization and cultural characteristics. China is one of the important birthplaces of human civilization, and Chinese culture has had a profound impact on Asia and the world. The four great inventions and other scientific and technological achievements have benefited mankind greatly. In the communication and mutual learning with Scandinavian, Byzantine and Tatar cultures, Russia has formed a unique Eurasian civilization, which has also created a splendid material and spiritual civilization for the world.

  Faced with the exotic cultures, Chinese culture shows super stability and continuity. Chinese standard civilization often absorbs foreign culture with tolerance, and can maintain the cultural unity and continuity even if conquered by foreign forces. Russian culture, like a huge pendulum, surges forward between eastern and Western civilizations: the baptism of Ross, the shackles of Tartar and the reform of Peter the Great and other major events, which make Russian history ups and downs, waves and waves.

  Civilization has its characteristics, and no civilization is superior to others. China and Russia belong to different civilizations, but they have the highest level of mutual trust and coordination, because they respect differences, communication and learn from each other, and achieve equality, consultation and respect. Although the origins and connotations of Chinese and Russian civilizations are different, there has always been a common demand for respect for other civilizations and recognition of their own development path, which is the basis of the dialogue between Chinese and Russian civilizations.

  Both China and Russia have a history of learning from the West, such as Peter's Westernization Reform in the 18th century in Russia and the Westernization Movement in the 19th century in China, including the acceptance and spread of Marxism. Not only that, thinkers in both countries have raised the same question after encountering the West: What kind of road should they take in the face of the West? Through theoretical thinking and social practice, China and Russia have gained a deeper understanding of their own development path, roles and mission of the world, and explored development paths suitable for their own national conditions.

  China and Russia respect different civilizations and can absorb them. With an open mind, we can draw on the achievements of western civilizations in industry, the rule of law, management and other fields. We dare to open the door and advance reform. However, while China and Russia actively promote the community with a shared future for mankind with the mentality of tolerance, communication and an attitude of clarifying rights and wrongs, promoting peace and seeking development, some countries have gone against the trend, holding the thinking of "civilized prejudice" and "civilized cold war", and are self-confident, refusing to accept mutual respect, exchanges, mutual learning and harmonious coexistence among civilizations. The experience of China and Russia can provide inspiration and evidence to a large extent.

  Finally, in an international environment where openness, co-prosperity and isolationism go hand in hand, China and Russia show the world with practical actions. Only through mutual assistance and deep integration can we achieve win-win results for all civilizations.

  In recent years, China and Russia have successfully held a series of national-level "Year of Exchange" activities which effectively promote mutual understanding between people of different stratums in the two countries. For example, in 2016, Guangming Daily and Tass News Agency jointly organized the activity of "Ten Most Influential Literary Works in China and Russia" which received a warm response from most readers and received well society effect. This year, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, the two parties have successfully held the campaign of "Top Ten Outstanding Persons in the Field of China-Russia Humanistic Communication" in the spirit of people-to-people communication and mutual learning between civilizations. These ten people either devote themselves to educational communication between China and Russia, or promote cultural dialogues in the field of literature and translation, or spread the friendship between China and Russia from generation to generation with popular music. These activities have been warmly received by the two countries, deepening the friendship between the two peoples and consolidating world peace and stability.

  From the similarities and differences between Chinese and Russian civilizations and dialogues in above, it can be seen that the cause of conflicts between different civilizations lies not in the differences of civilizations, but in the narrow mind of civilization and the extreme ideas resulting from the narrow mind. Each civilization is not an isolated individual, but an important part of the whole human race. Only by respecting, communicating, consulting and cooperating with each other in the huge construction of the whole human community, can different civilizations be interdependent and closely related. China and Russia are setting an example for the world, drawing goods and resources from mutual learning, jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind, and promoting the reform of global governance system in theory and behavior.
