2020首屆「中國．萬榮」黃河文化國際雕塑藝術設計大賽

一、緣起

萬榮縣位於汾河與黃河交匯處的黃河東岸，地處華北、西北、中原三大地域連接處的山西省西南部，運城市西北部，隸屬於山西省運城市。萬榮縣西瀕黃河與陝西省韓城市相望，南峙孤峰山與臨猗縣、鹽湖區相連，東枕稷王山與聞喜縣相接，北有峨嵋台地與河津市相鄰。萬榮縣是中華民族發祥地之一，史書上有皇天后土的記載：自軒轅黃帝在“汾陰脽”上掃地為壇祭后土至宋真宗皇帝，先後有8位皇帝共24次在后土祠祭祀，其中漢武帝祭祀后土7次並留下了千古絕唱《秋風辭》。

萬榮秋風樓
萬榮縣歷史文化底蘊深厚，地理位置獨特絕佳，旅遊資源豐富多彩，農副產品質優多樣，具備發展成為國際知名的旅遊目的地絕佳條件。從歷史文化和地域特色方面，后土祠、東嶽廟、李家大院、黃河濕地、孤峰山等歷史古蹟及自然景觀就是一條優質的旅遊路線，不但讓遊客深入體驗和感受萬榮在歷史長河中的重要地位，更能感受中國傳統文化的博大精深。

萬榮李家大院
萬榮境內有中國母親河—黃河以及山西母親河—汾河。此處地理位置唯一、獨特，濕地環境豐富遼闊，黃土溝壑奇異多姿，是建設雕塑藝術公園的絕佳之處。建設兩河之間以“黃河文化”為主題的雕塑藝術公園，與世界文明發祥地兩河流域（幼發拉底河和底格里斯河）遙相呼應，必會成為世界聞名、國內唯一、舉世矚目的旅遊目的地。中國·萬榮黃河文化國際雕塑藝術大展將邀請國內外著名藝術家根據濕地溝壑環境創作實施，將公園打造成影響國內外的藝術勝地。

二、活動主題

主題釋義：黃河文化·農耕文明

2019年9月，習近平總書記在黃河流域生態保護和高質量發展座談會上的重要講話中指出，“黃河文化是中華文明的重要組成部分，是中華民族的根和魂。要推進黃河文化遺產的系統保護，守好老祖宗留給我們的寶貴遺產。要深入挖掘黃河文化蘊含的時代價值，講好‘黃河故事’，延續歷史文脈，堅定文化自信，為實現中華民族偉大復興的中國夢凝聚精神力量。”黃河是中華民族的母親河，根植於黃河流域的黃河文化是中華文明中最具代表性、最具影響力的主體文化。

因此，以“黃河文化·農耕文明”為主題，通過深度挖掘黃河文化內涵，發揚農耕文明精神，扶持新時代黃河文化公共藝術的創作生產，舉辦“中國·萬榮黃河文化國際雕塑藝術大展”，有助於推動黃河文化創造性轉化和創新性發展，從而不斷豐富黃河文化的展現形式，弘揚黃河文化與農耕文明，使之生生不息。
