站在新起点 迈向新征程

轮回又逢新年至。值此辞旧迎新之际,我谨向关心支持《文化交流》杂志的各级领导、各界人士和广大读者表示衷心的感谢，并恭贺大家新年愉快！

党的十七届六中全会从历史和时代的高度，科学概括和深刻阐述了中国特色社会主义文化发展道路，确立了建设社会主义文化强国的宏伟目标，指明了新形势下文化改革发展的目标和方向。省委十二届十次全会从时代要求与战略全局出发，以高度的文化自觉和文化自信，提出了建设文化强省的奋斗目标。

这是文化建设迎来的重大机遇，是文化大发展大繁荣的难得机遇，新的机遇又使我们站在新起点，迈向新征程！

回顾过去的一年，我们取得了可喜的成绩。展望新的一年,我们满怀信心。我们将切实贯彻执行党的十七届六中全会和省委十二届十次全会精神,遵循自己的办刊宗旨，坚持正确的舆论导向，紧紧围绕浙江省委、省政府的中心工作，大力推进文化事业的繁荣和文化产业的发展,为推动浙江从文化大省迈向文化强省作出积极的贡献。

文化，始终在对外交流的过程中，扮演着先行者的角色。当今世界，不同文化的交流、交融、交锋比以往任何时候都更加频繁，一元与多样、传统与现代、先进与落后、本土与外来相互交织、相互影响，社会思想意识更加多元多样多变，社会思潮也更加纷繁复杂。文化因交流而传承发展，世界因交融而和谐共进。积极维护文化的多样性，推动不同文化之间的对话交流，相互借鉴学习，世界才能更加丰富多彩。《文化交流》杂志作为浙江对外文化交流的一个窗口，担当着光荣而神圣的使命。在新的一年里，《文化交流》杂志要始终坚持“立足浙江，辐射全国, 面向世界”的办刊方向，充分发挥浙江的经济优势和文化优势，推进浙江与世界各国及我国港澳台等地的文化交流与合作，让世界更多地了解浙江，让浙江更好地走向世界。

在2012年的办刊工作中，我们将契合读者需求,创新办刊理念，拓展办刊思路，努力使《文化交流》的内容体现时代性、文化性和悦读性。文化领域底蕴深厚、天地广阔，办刊思路亟待向广度拓展。我们将密切关注并追踪文化领域中的重大题材、重大事件、重要新闻，关注并追踪文化体制改革和文化产业发展的新鲜典型；在报道好名人文化的同时，更多地报道好群众文化、民俗文化的新亮点；在大力弘扬浙江优秀文化、中华优秀文化的同时，有选择地推介国外优秀文化的新成果、新经验，以帮助读者进一步拓宽视野。拓展办刊思路，另一个着力点是在深度上开掘。抓住国内外文化交汇交锋的冲撞点，社会文化生活的新热点，透析文化领域的新现象，揭示文化发展的新观念,以生动的事实、深刻的剖析，凸现社会主义核心价值观。在杂志的表现形式上，我们将在保持原有特色和品位的基础上,推出新的栏目，改进版式设计，文章长短结合，图文精妙配置，编排更具视觉冲击力，努力把刊物办得更加大气、更加精美，为国内外读者奉献更多思想深刻、艺术精湛的文化精品。

今天,沐浴着党的十七届六中全会的春风,我们又站在了一个文化大发展大繁荣的新起点上。我们将继续加强与各方面的联系，积极争取各级领导和有关部门以及各地的支持，争取国内外读者朋友的支持与合作。我们将努力践行使命，意气风发地迈向文化建设、文化交流的新征程！

New Departure Point for New Journey

New Year Message for 2012

By Liu Feng, director of Cultural Dialogue

New Year comes back again. On the occasion of saying goodbye to the past year and welcoming a new year, I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to leaders, people from all walks of life and our readers for your support. I would also like to wish everyone Happy New Year.

From a historical viewpoint and with a view of our time, the 6th plenary session of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) scientifically summarized and profoundly expounded the path to cultural development with Chinese characteristics, established the grand objective of building China into a strong socialist cultural nation, and formulated the objective and direction for cultural reform and development in the new situation. The 10th plenary session of the 12th Zhejiang Provincial Congress of the CPC Zhejiang Committee formulated an objective to strive to build Zhejiang into a powerhouse of culture. This new objective is based on a heightened sense of cultural consciousness and confidence and based on the requirement and strategy for our time.

All this constitutes a rare and key opportunity for cultural development and prosperity. The new opportunity enables us to start from a new departure point for a new journey.

Looking back at the last year, we are happy to say that we scored success. Looking ahead to 2012, we are full of confidence. We will take concrete steps to carry out the guidelines set up at the 6th plenary session of the 17th National Congress of CPC and the 12th Zhejiang Provincial Congress of the CPC Zhejiang Committee. We will adhere to the guideline and direction of our publication and center our efforts on the principal work of the CPC Zhejiang Committee and Zhejiang People’s Government. We will take intensified efforts to strive for development and prosperity of our cultural undertakings and make positive contribution to Zhejiang’s endeavor of building the province into a powerhouse of culture.

Culture plays a pioneering role in exchanges between China and the rest of the world. At present, exchanges, fusion and confliction among different cultures are more frequent than before. The uniform and the diverse, the traditional and the modern, the advanced and the backward, the national and the international interact and interconnect. The social thought and ideology is increasing becoming diverse, varied and changeable, and ideological trends are increasingly becoming complicated. Culture develops through exchanges and progress and harmony happen because of fusion. The world maintains its richness and colorfulness through our efforts to maintain cultural diversity, promote dialogue and exchanges between different cultures, and learn from each other for experience and lessons. As a window for cultural exchanges between Zhejiang Province and the rest of the world, we have a glorious and sacred mission. In 2012, Cultural Dialogue will, as always, adhere to the publication guideline of “basing the magazine in Zhejiang, radiating out to the country and embracing the world.” We will give full play to the province’s economic and cultural resources. We will continue to promote cultural exchanges and cooperation between Zhejiang and foreign nations and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan so that the world will know more and better about Zhejiang.

In 2012, we will work hard to meet the requirements of our readers, innovate and broaden our thinking, and do our best to make Cultural Dialogue reflect our times, our culture and make it more pleasant to read. Culture provides a full range of topics and fields and we need to take them into full account. We will concern ourselves with big topics, events, newsworthy issues in cultural fields. We will closely follow and cover both new pacesetters in system restructuring in cultural fields and development of cultural industries. While continuing to promote the best of the regional and national culture of Zhejiang and China, we will take a look at the best of foreign cultures so as to broaden the horizon of our readers. Another key task in broadening our thinking is to deepen our understanding of the new: the things where Chinese and foreign cultures converge, hotspots of social and cultural life, new cultural phenomena, and new concepts emerging from cultural development. We will present vivid facts and in-depth analysis to highlight the core of our socialist values. We will keep the original feature and style of the magazine’s physical layout. We will launch new columns, improve design, better photos and coordinate the lengths of texts, so as to make a better visual effect. We will do our best to provide our readers at home and abroad with fine cultured contents.

We are now at a new departure point for a new journey looking forward to bumper growth and prosperity of cultural undertakings on the strength of the 6th plenary session of the 17th National Congress of the CPC. In 2012, we will, as always, strengthen our ties and contacts with all the people concerned, continue with our endeavors to have the support of leaders and departments and local governments at all levels, to have the support and cooperation with friends at home and abroad. Entrusted with the mission, we will do our best to contribute to the drive for the great cultural development and prosperity.
