How about a cultural journey: a spiritual dialogue across time and space
In the era of information explosion, culture seems to have become a hard journey. How do people find the true meaning of culture in fragmented information? The hot topics and hot content in the past 10 days may give us some inspiration. This article will combine the cultural phenomena hotly discussed on the Internet to explore the meaning and value of cultural journey.

2. Three dimensions of cultural journey
1. Time dimension:From the popularity of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", we can see that modern people are thirsty for traditional culture. The images of poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu in the movie triggered widespread discussion, and many viewers began to reread Tang poetry after watching the movie. This kind of cultural dialogue spanning thousands of years is the charm of cultural journey.
2. Spatial dimension:The rise of museum craze reflects young people’s redefinition of cultural space. Data shows that the post-90s audience at venues such as the Palace Museum and Shaanxi History Museum accounts for more than 60%. They are no longer satisfied with just looking at things, but pursue in-depth experience and cultural resonance.
3. Inheritance dimension:The biggest challenge facing intangible inheritance is how to keep ancient skills alive in the present. From Suzhou embroidery to cloisonné, from shadow puppetry to woodblock New Year paintings, many intangible cultural heritage projects are finding young audiences through new forms such as short videos and live broadcasts.
3. New trends in cultural consumption
| consumption type | Representative products | User portrait | growing trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Immersive experience | The script kills "The Ming Dynasty" | Urban white-collar workers aged 18-35 | Annual growth of 120% |
| Digital cultural creation | Dunhuang Feitian NFT | Technology enthusiasts aged 25-40 | Quarterly growth of 80% |
| Cultural Studies | In-depth tour of the Forbidden City | 30-45 years old Kochi family | Annual growth of 65% |
4. Dilemmas and breakthroughs in the cultural journey
Behind the excitement of cultural communication, we also need to see some deep-seated problems:
1. The contradiction between commercialization and cultural authenticity:When Hanfu becomes a photo prop, and when ancient music becomes a traffic password, will the core of culture be diluted? How to find a balance between marketization and cultural inheritance is a question that every practitioner needs to think about.
2. Fragmentation and systemic conflict:Short videos make cultural communication more convenient, but they can also easily lead to cognitive fragmentation. Can a 3-minute explanation of Dunhuang murals replace the systematic study of art history?
3. The tension between globalization and locality:When the national trend becomes the world trend, how should we maintain the subjectivity of culture? From Li Ziqi to "Genshin Impact", while Chinese culture is going global, it also needs to be wary of the risk of being simply symbolized.
5. The ultimate value of cultural journey
The true cultural journey is not simply nostalgia or curiosity, but a spiritual practice. It allows us to slow down in the fast-paced life, calm down in the impetuous society, and find our cultural roots in a diverse world.
From the echoes of the poem "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" to the whispers of cultural relics in museums to the perseverance of intangible cultural heritage craftsmen, these cultural phenomena are telling us: Although the cultural journey is difficult, it is worth it. Because it not only connects the past and present, but also points to the future.
In this sense, how about a cultural odyssey? The answer may be: it is not only a challenge that has to be faced, but also a rare spiritual baptism. As one netizen wrote after watching "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an": "It turns out that the only distance between us and Li Bai is a sincere cultural dialogue."
