About the sea. What about the sea
The poet's soup murmured in a poem, "the sea has kept your birthing voice" and i want to walk away and the soul carries the blue of life."
The sea is the spiritual “household” of fortune. With thousands of people born together, fujian have gone nowhere along the road to explore the ocean, based on a “no surprise, no surprise” mentality, the belief that a “love is a win.”。
To enter a new era, how can we continue to contribute to the building of ocean power, so that the next generation can better understand the sea, understand the sea, use the sea, and continue to build “households”
In 2023, i began planning for the production of a reading book on ocean literacy education. In january this year, with the support of the ministry of public information of the provincial council and the education commission of the provincial council, a book entitled " the 18th book of marine culture " was officially published by xiamen university press and became the country's first comprehensive book for university students on maritime literacy education. As an important result of the intensive implementation of the marine cultural heritage development project in our province, there has been a positive response from all quarters。

The chinese academy of sciences is evaluated by chen daae: “it has made the vast amount of knowledge of the oceans accessible in popular language, rich and informative material, and interesting cases”
On the occasion of the 17th world ocean day and the 18th national ocean awareness day, qianshan entered the writing team to learn the story behind the “first”。

"lack" and break
There is an urgent need for an ambitious and high-quality workforce to build strong maritime nations. In recent years, marine education has flourished from the national level to fujian, but it has also faced similar stylizations:
In terms of cultural traditions, maritime rights awareness and marine culture are not sufficiently informed by the concept of the “overland”。
In terms of spatial distribution, the educational base of inland marine culture is weak compared to coastal areas, owing to objective factors such as geography and economic development。
Institutionally, there is a lack of a complete system of marine awareness education and cultural construction. The results of the survey show that university students ' awareness of maritime territory, marine resource awareness, marine environmental awareness and marine participation is generally weak, and that most universities do not have marine literacy programmes。
“the oceans are too big and ocean education involves many disciplines.” the deputy editor-in-chief of marine culture 18, professor wang zhigen, department of history, university of xiamen, provides scientific coverage of marine education in subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology and pharmacology, while social, historical, political, literary and other subjects include, from a human perspective, marine awareness and maritime safety。
As a result, even at national maritime colleges, marine courses have been “separated” and lack a truly maritime literacy course。
By whom? “fujian is the eastern starting point of the ancient maritime silk road, the core of the maritime silk road in the twenty-first century, rich in marine resources and deep in culture, and can make more innovative practices to advance the building of a new era of marine culture and raise awareness of the oceans for all”. The sea island research centre of the ministry of natural resources is responsible for comrades。

How's it going
The issue of “integration” needs to be addressed. Starting in 2023, xiamen university organized interdisciplinary creations by more than 20 experts, including the faculty of oceans and the earth, the faculty of history and cultural heritage, the faculty of foreign studies, the faculty of economics, the faculty of law and the institute of international relations, in an effort to create a reading of ocean literacy education, to provide insight into the basics of oceanography and to integrate historical, cultural, economic, legal and modern scientific knowledge and to open a window for students to fully understand the relationship between the oceans and human society。
In the book, you have to read "the thickness". Professor wang zhigen described, for example, the book from the “century of china” to the rise of western marine science and technology following the industrial revolution, which is divided into different chapters, but read these clear historical facts on a continuous basis, and students' reflections reveal the differences in western and central maritime culture between the west's rivalry and the colonial idea that “who controls the sea will always be the master”. Since china left the sea to develop friendly relations with other countries and sow the seeds of peace and friendship, thus concluding that “the distinct characteristics of china's civil society, heinawakawakawa, with their appearance is a continuum”。
Emphasis should be placed on the unity of “know” “means”. During the pre-management of the book, there was a consensus among the compilers that the book could not be simply a knowledge book。
“the awareness of the sea is the unity of knowledge, love and purpose.” the experts explained that it is human perception and appreciation of the oceans, but rather the mental state of self-restraint, perseverance, confidence and perseverance that humans have shown in pursuing the oceans。
“in the book, we seek to demonstrate this `intention' on the wise people who have come out of africa, on zheng and his followers in the lower ocean, on the diaspora, and on the salted fishers on the sea, so that readers can draw their spiritual strength from the ancients, even though they are far from the water.” as experts say。
It's funny
After two years of grinding, marine culture 18 was born。
What kind of book is this
The book is based on the fundamental question of where the sea comes from, and is divided into five eighteen chapters, which provide knowledge of ocean-related knowledge from a variety of dimensions, including marine science, anthropology and archaeology, history, economics, ocean governance and the law of the sea, and each lecture is carefully planned according to the length of the session。
And when he entered the contents, he found that there was in it the beauty of harmony。
The beauty of the discipline is essentially a different path for humanity to explore the truth. When we embrace each other in an open mind, we can read poetry in physical formulas, find logic in literary metaphors and see consensus in cultural differences. And the book, it's trying to get people into the ocean in a sense of trust and fun。

How good? Some of the sections are five pages short, while 14 references are indicated, and even a small knowledge point sidebar is marked at the end of the page. “inasmuch as it is a general literature, content must be comprehensive and objective, be worthy of history and be able to adapt.” for example, the true history is often different from the deep-rooted ideas, such as the book's 12th article, which lists the achievements of china's ancient navigational technology and shipbuilding and fishing, and shows that science and technology have not simply produced corrupt officials, but have also produced a large number of technocrats. Moreover, in addition to the trade between china and japan, there were many market-oriented market-oriented practices in the ming ming dynasty period, and therefore the role of china's trade in hong kong should not be simply denied。
How funny? The editorial committee's experts agreed that, since it was an academic book, the reader could not feel “academic barriers”. In the past, when the editor-in-chief demin han described the relative professional ocean carbon cycle in the media, there had been a loop of words such as “the ocean also needs to measure `blood oxygen concentration' and `cola' can get sick too.” and in this book, beautiful and interesting words are more common。
Referring to the constant elements and their impact on the ecological environment, the book refers to “some of the metal elements are like double-edged swords, feeding the greenness of life at the right time, and overloading them into the frost of inhibiting microbial songs”; and to the formation of the oceans and civilizations, it states that “the “sea ape hypothesis” is the romantic imagination of the very essence of human-sea relations. From the great journey out of africa to the hard times of environmental change, the sound of the waves is always there, reading words as if they had heard the echoes of the air and sea in history; when referring to the ancient human footprints of the seaside, the book says, “the ancestors of the wise are different from the ancestors of the chimpanzees `the apes'”, and on the beach of time and space, the images of the apes moving further and further。

After reading the book, the physical oceanographer and the member of the chinese academy of sciences, sugiran, also lamented: “this book minimizes the gap between literature and science and greatly reduces the difficulty readers may feel in reading. There are difficulties in organizing interdisciplinary creations, but it is worth the hard work to break the interdisciplinary barriers and to present students with a general vision of akin to biology and to give them a relatively comprehensive view of the ocean.”
“fujian resolution”
May you finish the book and push the window to the sea。
Let the sea be vast and rich in your imagination。
Deepen the sea, keep your soul secret。
Read the whole book, and shiyama felt the good work of the editor。
How does this book work
In september of this year, based on the 18th lecture on marine culture, and taking into account innovative models of discipline, six universities in the provinces of xiamen university, fujian university of agroforestry and central american university, among others, will be taking the lead in conducting a pilot course on marine culture literacy。
