828日,參選澳門特區第六任行政長官的岑浩輝先生回覆記者提問有關土生葡人社群葡語文化以流利葡語作答 

岑浩輝在記者會上的發言中,有兩點很重要。

一是「『一業獨大』對澳門長遠發展不利」;

另一是「澳門當地有土生土長的葡人社群,要利用這些元素及中葡經貿合作論壇,拓展澳門與各大洲葡語國家的關係」。

[Note 1]

本文認澳門毋須把自己侷限在中葡溝通平台

建議澳門特區進一大,考慮發展為大中華區

133億人口葡萄牙語區

234.4億人口西班牙語區

(下稱「葡西語區」) 之間文化交流樞紐,方法是「造語境、悉文化、迎客來(稍後解釋)

[Note 2]

此項發展不只是為了加深民間相互了解促進經濟共同繁榮,是為了推動和平共處的世界秩序新模式

丹麥史學家 David Gress 在其1998年出版的巨著《從柏拉圖到北約》(From Plato to NATO) 指出現代西方的爭取選票政制、市場資本主義等意識形態造成了西方與非西方之間不必要的對抗

當中一個關鍵因素是西方主流價認定人應該是理性的個體,為利益權力

(例如市場進入權、投票發言權、生、購買力)

的累積最大化而存活「謀專利、圖快錢」為大義以推動創新,包括武器的殺傷力導致偏好和諧安定的非西方在過去的四百年,被霸權國家欺凌

在書末,Gress 盛讚中華文明是未來發展一個上佳的替代選擇:守護家庭倫理、重視知書識禮、推崇敬業樂業、尊重社會階梯、嚮往社群和睦(見頁 534)

[Note 3]

早在17世紀德國哲學家、數學家萊布尼茨(Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz1646-1716,獨自創建微積分)已經褒揚中華文明對人的美德訓輔較西方教條式的宗教信義能更好地促進教育對話社交互動(education, conversation and sociality);主張聘請中國知識分子到歐洲開辦學校,教授中國語文及哲理思想。

[Note 4]

不幸的是,願意且有能力學習文化的人僅限於極少數通情達 理的學者;東西文明和平交流的機會被利益最大化的戰爭販子所破壞18世紀以來的世界秩序由以霸權為優先的好戰 (belligerent elites) 菁英所主宰

當今中國的和平崛起是人類改變這類血腥世界秩序的嘗試之一具獨特史地位的澳門可在改變世界秩序發揮作用

廣泛遍居非洲、拉丁美洲、東南亞洲各地的葡西語區族群20世紀初以來在政軍體制設計、經濟政策制定多方面深受以英美為主導的西方聯盟所影響或擺怖政治日趨兩極、經濟裹足不前、社會爭難斷

一些有識士近年積極尋找適合自身國情新思維新做法察覺中國發展模式具參考價對深入了解文化生濃厚的興趣。而北京自新中國建立以來一直珍重與葡西語區人民之間的友誼互信相助現在更期盼與他們建立共同富裕的堅實基礎

澳門在此間最適合的文化交流樞紐這不僅僅是因為其史因素相當數量講葡語的市民更重要的是它擁有豐富的拉丁文化融合經驗共存根柢

以澳門文化節 Lusofonia Festival 為例澳門科技大學助理教授徐曄2022年發表調研結果確認該文化節「文化鄰近性」(cultural proximity)對目的地形象與遊客認知方面有高度的正面影響

[Note 5]

再深入點關鍵不是文化節能拉近遊客和澳門的情感聯繫,而是

節目的編排

環境的營造

現場工作人員與一般來葡語陌生的華裔遊客之間的互動

前者後者導賞等等,

反映了澳門文化人具有融合異族間人際情感交流的高水平能力 (反觀香港的國際文化活動仍殘存港英時代遺留的階級隔膜感)

發揮澳門的文化感染融合讓國人能向更多葡西語區民解釋觀,第一是拓寬、深化澳門的語言環境。例如路標街示、公車站牌、樓門名號、餐飲目等等皆顯示葡西三文。

倘若有智慧城市發展配合,掃描路牌上的二維碼,即可朗讀街名華葡西語音展示附近店鋪簡述史典故……

更理想的是電台頻道提供國葡西四語、電視節目(尤其是紀)播出時提供另外兩種語文字幕、以三語廣播的新聞頻道彙報更多有關葡西語區的事件。

第二開設不同程度、範圍的課程,讓有意擴闊視野的大中華區國民前來修讀葡西語文理解葡西語區各國的獨特文化、民族喜好、環境特

更理想的是安排語文能力達標的學員前往葡西語區,與當地交流,體驗當地生活。

第三是迎葡西語區士民立體學習漢語文言、務實認識文化。重點是讓來客運用葡西語文,

比「大同小康」觀念與「勝利者全取利益」(Winner takes it all)的資本主義價觀各自的優缺點

思考良恭儉讓」與西方「普世價別、

評估敬祖畏天」與當代西方環保運動之異同等

[Note 6]

更理想的是,來客可到大灣區參觀農田漁域、智能機械、民房菜市、康樂設施並享受隨意與華人用普通話對談的樂趣。

這種三走的作用是營造一個語言親切、人際友善而交流具深度的環境,鞏固彼此信任,為未來各方面的合作鋪路; 澳門士民於文化融合這方面勝任有餘。

長期目標是讓更多族群認識到中國繼往開來,秉承「仁孝」傳統與其他文明的美德融合,將世界秩序的中軸轉為尊重彼此各自獨特發展模式,將世界秩序宗旨變為和平共富、合作共贏。

910Merkur.de 報導,一架德國戰機於8月被人發現在美國加州上空掛攜核彈接受訓練,之後官方確認屬實。

在單邊主義日趨危害人類命運此間,借用岑浩輝先生所言:「多元必須向前行、無退路。」

Leibniz (1645 -1716) had a lifelong interest in things Chinese and accorded China an important role in his ecumenical endeavors. This collection of his writings presents his comparisons of Chinese and European civilizations and his thoughts on future relations between the two.

"A very timely work because of the increasing impact of China on the rest of the world and because of the profound connections Leibniz uncovered between Western and Chinese civilizations."

Wiki, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz [a] (1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat who is disputed with Sir Isaac Newton to have invented calculus in addition to many other branches of mathematics, such as binary arithmetic, and statistics. Leibniz has been called the "last universal genius" due to his knowledge and skills in different fields and because such people became much less common after his lifetime with the coming of the Industrial Revolution and the spread of specialized labor.[15] He is a prominent figure in both the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics.

… this study investigates the impact of cultural proximity on destination image and tourists’ festival perception. It also examines the mediating roles of festival perception and cognitive destination image. Lusofonia festival, an annual Portuguese cultural festival of Macao, was chosen for the questionnaire-based data collection. I employed factor and correlations analyses and tested the hypotheses using structural equation modelling. The results consolidated the relationship between cognitive destination image and affective image, provided insight into the role of cultural events in enhancing destination image, and identified the attributes of parity in terms of home-destination culture that steer festival perception and cognitive destination image positively.

The phrase "winner takes all" may sound like a tagline for a thrilling game show, but for many organizations, it's a business philosophy that has long been deeply ingrained. Traditional business thinking often operates on this principle, whether explicitly stated or subtly embedded in its core values and strategies.

Edwards Air Force Base – The German fighter jet "Tornado" was spotted flying over a California air base at the end of August. The fighter jet apparently had an atomic bomb with it, which is used for training purposes. In Germany, numerous American nuclear weapons are stationed as part of NATO's nuclear sharing. They serve as a deterrent.
