Features: The "Millennium Forum" lecture series published in this edition consists of two books: "Supreme Civilization" and "Supreme Art." The noble status of civilization and the supreme inspirational power of art possess an elusive and indescribable quality. Since "civilization" is a vast topic in human culture, and "art" is merely a subtopic within civilization, the terms "civilization" and "art" are not parallel but rather encompassing. Publishing the two books together aims to allow readers to see both the overall picture of world civilization and Chinese civilization, as well as their brilliant details. This book reflects the thoughts of scholars from around the world and China on world civilization in various aspects such as science and technology, literature and art, historical artifacts, cultural education, emerging industries, and regional cultural studies. It discusses various aspects of civilization's development from different perspectives. Since the speakers are scholars with profound knowledge in their respective fields, their narratives reach a depth unattainable by ordinary people. Therefore, for China, which aspires to integrate into the world, this is extremely important. For readers, it is undoubtedly a book that is beneficial to read.
