For many years, the art of fengshui has been seen as an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture. But recently, this long standing heritage was challenged when South Korea applied to list the art as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage under its name.
South Korea succeeded in adding the Dragon Boat Festival, a celebration used to commemorate Qu Yuan, a Chinese patriot in olden times, onto the World Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2005. And now the Koreans are likely to win again. Nothing has hinted that the application will fail as the process is backed by all Korean nationals, from the country's president to the UN general-secretary.
Contrary to South Korea's zeal for applying fengshui, Chinese government still deem the art as a superstitious method to judge good or ill luck and refuse to issue official certificates to those engaged in the fengshui industry.
The art of fengshui failed to be mentioned in the shortlist, which includes 35 cultural arts, that China has drawn up in preparation for next years World Intangible Cultural Heritage nomination procedure.
As Chinese, we are very disappointed with the zero reaction from the Chinese government toward the urgent situation. On the other hand, we are trying to do whatever we can to avoid this "cultural robbery" happening. We are very happy to share our cultures with everyone, it's the wealth of the whole world. However we think it's extremely disgraceful attempt on robbing it.
We appreciate it very much for UNESCO protecting and respecting the cultural heritage of humanity, however, we don't think accepting the application of South Korea listing fengshui under its name would be helpful for protecting the human cultural heritage. It would only deliver a wrong message to the world that robber could steal others heritage without punishment.
We hope UNESCO would investigate the case carefully. History will not change just because one list, but truth and justice should be told to everyone.

致:聯合國教科文組織
一直以來,風水都是中國傳統文化的一個重要組成部分。然而這樣的事情卻遭到了來自南韓的挑戰,他們正在申請將風水列入他們的文化遺產。
南韓已經在2005年將紀念中國詩人屈原的端午節成功申請為起文化遺產。從現在的情況看,他們風水申遺很可能再次成功,因為整個韓國,從普通百姓到總統,再到聯合國秘書長都在支持。
然而反觀中國,政府還官方地認為風水是封建糟粕,而沒有重視。在中國的申遺名單上竟然都不見蹤影。
作為中國人,一方面我們很失望於政府的不作為,另一方面我們普通民眾正在盡力防止類似端午事件的重演。我們很樂意與世界分享我們的文化,但同時我們也認為任何企圖占有它的行為都是極端可恥的。
我們感謝教科文組織在保護人類文化遺產中所做的努力,但我們認為接受韓國的風水申遺只會向世界提供一個錯誤的信息:強盜可以堂而皇之地竊取他人遺產。
我們真誠地希望聯合國教科文組織能仔細地調查整個事件,歷史不會因為一個名錄而改變,但真理和正義應該處處存在。 |
