这是文化的全球化的一个很好的例子。
但有两个完全不同的对待它的态度。
有些人认为它表明了中国文化的的影响越来越大。
然而,其他人倾向于采取了相反的观点,并把它作为本土文化资源的入侵。
至于我,我倾向于采取开放的态度,对文化的全球化。
我们可以促进我们自己的文化,同时学习其他文化形式,这是对所有国家有利。
最后,重要的是要注意,每一种文化都有其自身的特点。
随着文化的全球化趋势不断发展,我们应该为我们国家的传统文化的发展和蔓延负责。
我的看法:在学好本土文化的前提下去学习其他国家的文化对民族文化的发展是十分有益的,学习他人的文化固然可取,但要尊重他人的名族文化形式,尽可能的保留其特点,我们要在中国文化全球化的基础上保护好中国文化最本质的东西,我们要对中国的民族文化的传承与发展负责。
篇二:关于古埃及文化的英文演讲关于古埃及文化的英文演讲Culture of EgyptThe Culture of Egypt has five thousand years of recorded history. Ancient Egypt was among the earliest civilizations. For millennia, Egypt maintained a strikingly complex and stable culture that influenced later cultures of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. After the Pharaonic era, Egypt itself came under the influence of Hellenism, for a time Christianity, and later, Arab and Islamic culture. Today, many aspects of Egypt’s ancient culture exist in interaction with newer elements, including the influence of modern Western culture, itself with roots in Ancient Egypt.LanguageThe Ancient Egyptian language, which formed a separate branch among thefamily of Afro-Asiatic languages, was among the first written languages, and is known from hieroglyphic inscriptions preserved on monuments and sheets of papyrus. The Coptic language, the only extant descendant of Egyptian, is today the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church.The “Koiné” dialect of the Greek language was important in Hellenistic Alexandria, and was used in the philosophy and science of that culture, and was later studied by Arabic scholars.Arabic came to Egypt in the seventh century and Egyptian Arabic has since become the modern speech of the country. Of the many varieties of Arabic, it is the most widely spoken second dialect, probably due to the influence of Egyptian cinema throughout the Arabic-speaking world.In the Upper Nile Valley, around KomOmbo and Aswan, there are about 300,000 speakers of Nubian languages, mainly Nobiin, but also Kenuzi-Dongola. The Berber languages are represented by Siwi, spoken by about 5,000 around the Siwa Oasis. There are over a million speakers of the Domari language , mostly living north of Cairo, and there are about 60,000 Greek speakers in Alexandria. Approximately 77,000 speakers of Bedawi live in the Eastern Desert.LiteratureAncient Egyptian literature dates back to the Old Kingdom, in the third millennium BC. Religious literature is best known for its hymns to various gods and its mortuary texts. The oldest extant Egyptian literature are the Pyramid Texts: the mythology and rituals carved around the tombs of rulers. The later, secular literature of ancient Egypt includes the ‘wisdom texts’, forms of philosophicalinstruction. The Instruction of Ptahhotep, for example, is a collation of moral proverbs by an Egyptian administrator. The authors of the literature of the Old and Middle Kingdoms seem to have been drawn from an elite administrative class, and were celebrated and revered into the New Kingdom . In time, the Pyramid Texts became Coffin Texts , and finally the mortuary literature produced its masterpiece, the Book of the Dead, during the New Kingdom.The Middle Kingdom was the golden age of Egyptian literature. Some notable texts include the Tale of Neferty, the Instructions of Amenemhat I, the Tale of Sinuhe, the Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor and the Story of the Eloquent Peasant. Instructions became a popular literary gee of the New Kingdom, taking the form of advice on proper behavior. The Story of Wenamun and the Instructions ofAni are well-known examples from this period.During the Greco-Roman period , Egyptian literature was translated into other languages, and Greco-Roman literature fused with native art into a new style of writing. From this period comes the Rosetta Stone, which became the key to unlocking the mysteries of Egyptian writing to modern scholarship. The great city of Alexandria boasted its famous Library of almost half a million handwritten books during the third century BC. Alexandria’s centre of learn ing also produced the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint. During the first few centuries of the Christian era, Egypt was the ultimate source of a great deal of ascetic literature in the Coptic language. Egyptian monasteries translated many Greek and Syriac works, which are now only extant in Coptic. Under Islam,Egypt continued to be a great source of literary endeavour, now in the Arabic language. In 970, al-Azhar University was founded in Cairo, which to this day remains the most important centre of Sunni Islamic learning. In the 12th century Egypt, the Jewish talmudic scholar Maimonides produced his most important work.Egypt’s vast and rich literature constitutes an important cultural element in the life of the country and in the Middle East as a whole. Egyptian novelists and poets were among the first to experiment with modern styles of Arabic literature, and the forms they developed have been widely imitated. The first modern Egyptian novel Zaynab by Muhammad Husayn Haykal was published in 1913 in the Egyptian vernacular. Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arabic-language writer to win the NobelPrize in Literature. Many Egyptian books and films are available throughout the Middle East. Other prominent Egyptian writers include Nawal El Saadawi, well known for her feminist works and activism, and Alifa Rifaat who also writes about women and tradition. Vernacular poetry is perhaps the most popular literary gee amongst Egyptians, represented most significantly by Ahmed Fuad Nigm and Abdel Rahman el-Abnudi.ReligionAncient Egyptian religion was a polytheistic system that saw the world as in conflict between forces of order and chaos. The Pharaoh, representative of order on Earth, was seen as divine and descended of the falcon god Horus. There was a strong cult of resurrection in the next life centered around the god Osiris.Coptic Christianity became popular in the Roman and Byzantine periods, andEgypt was indeed one of the strongest early Christian communities. Today, Christians constitute about 10% of the population.Islam in Egypt came to the country with the successors of Mohammed, and is today the dominant faith with 90% of the population adherents, almost all of the Sunni denomination.Visual artEgyptian art in antiquityThe Egyptians were one of the first major civilizations to codify design elements in art. The wall paintings done in the service of the Pharaohs followed a rigid code of visual rules and meanings. Early Egyptian art is characterized by absence of linear perspective, which results in a seemingly flat space. These artists tended to create images based on what they knew, and not as much on what they see. Objects in these artworksgenerally do not decrease in size as they increase in distance and there is little shading to indicate depth. Sometimes, distance is indicated through the use of tiered space, where more distant objects are drawn higher above the nearby objects, but in the same scale and with no overlapping of forms. People and objects are almost always drawn in profile.Early Egyptian artists did have a system for maintaining dimensions within artwork. They used a grid system that allowed them to create a smaller version of the artwork, and then scale up the design based upon proportional representation in a larger grid.See also: African art[edit] Egyptian art in modern timesModern and contemporary Egyptian art can be as diverse as any works in the world art scene. Some well-known names include Mahmoud Mokhtar, Abdel-Hadi elGazzar, Farouk Hosny, Gazbia Sirry and many others. Many artists in Egypt have taken on modern media such as digital art and this has been the theme of many exhibions in Cairo, in recent times. There has also been a tendency to use the world wide web as an alternative outlet for artists and there is a strong Art-focused internet community on egroups that has found origin in Egypt.SciencePtolemyClaudius Ptolemaeus, given contemporary German styling, in a 16th century engraved book frontispiecePtolemy is one of the most famous scientists associated with Egypt. Although he was born in Greece, he is famous for his work in Alexandria. Born Claudius Ptolemaeus ,he was a Greek geographer, astronomer, and astrologer. He is considered by many to be the father ofastronomy.Ptolemy was the author of two important scientific treatises. One is the astronomical treatise that is now known as the Almagest . In this work, one of the most influential books of Antiquity, Ptolemy compiled the astronomical knowledge of the ancient Greek and Babylonian world.Ptolemy’s other main work is his Geography. This too is a compilation, of what was known about the world’s geography in the Roman Empire in his time.In his Optics, a work which survives only in a poor Arabic translation, he writes about properties of light, including reflection, refraction and colour. His other works include Planetary Hypothesis, Planisphaerium and Analemma.Ptolemy’s treatise on astrology, the Tetrabiblos, was the most popularastrological work of antiquity and also enjoyed great influence in the Islamic world and the medieval Latin West.Ptolemy also wrote an influential work Harmonics on music theory. After criticizing the approaches of his predecessors, Ptolemy argued for basing musical intervals on mathematical ratios backed up by empirical observation . He presented his own divisions of the tetrachord and the octave, which he derived with the help of a monochord. Ptolemy’s astronomical interests also appeared in a discussion of the music of the spheres.Tributes to Ptolemy include Ptolemaeus crater on the Moon and Ptolemaeus crater on Mars.Music and danceEgyptian music is a rich mixture of indigenous Egyptian, Arabic, African and Western influences.As early as 4000 BC, ancient Egyptians were playing harps and flutes, as well as two indigenous instruments: the ney and the oud. However, there is little notation of Egyptian music before the 7th century AD, when Egypt became part of the Muslim world. Percussion and vocal music became important at this time, and has remained an important part of Egyptian music today.Contemporary Egyptian music traces its beginnings to the creative work of luminaries such as Abdu-l Hamuli, Almaz and Mahmud Osman, who were all patronized by Khedive Ismail and who influenced the later work of Sayed Darwish, Umm Kulthum, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, Abdel Halim Hafez and other Egyptian music giants.From the 1970s onwards, Egyptian pop music has become increasingly important in Egyptian culture, particularlyamong the large youth population of Egypt. Egyptian folk music is also popular, played during weddings and other festivities. In the last quarter of the 20th century, Egyptian music was a way to communicate social and class issues. The most popular Egyptian pop singer is Amr Diab.Belly dance, or Raqs Sharqi in Arabic, may have originated in Egypt, and today the country is considered the international center of the art.篇三:中国传统文化英语演讲Hello everyone,today I want to say something about Chinese traditional culture .Our Chinese nation, with its industriousness and wisdom, has created a long and over-lasting history and a rich and colorful a Chinese,we are supposed to understand the traditional culture and realize its importance.First,what’s the Traditional Chinese Culture .Traditional Chinese Culture includes material and moral products of ancient Chinese people.
