一年前的2012年4月,在中英文化交流活动中,汤显祖的经典剧目《牡丹亭》演出于英国莎士比亚故乡斯特拉福德市。一年后的2014年、三年后的2016年,中国浙江遂昌将与英方深度合作,举行汤显祖、莎士比亚国际学术研讨会及对两位伟大戏剧家逝世400周年纪念活动。在遂昌人看来,这得益于自己的文化自觉、自信与自强,让“走出去”成为水到渠成之举。 A year ago in April 2012, in the Sino-British cultural exchange activities, Tang Xianzu’s classic play “Peony Pavilion” staged in the hometown of Stratford, Shakespeare. One year later in 2014 and three years later in 2016, Suichang, Zhejiang Province, China will work in depth with the British side to hold Tang Xianzu, Shakespearean International Symposium and the 400th anniversary of the death of two great dramatists. Suichang in the eyes of people, thanks to their own cultural awareness, self-confidence and self-reliance, so that “going out ” has become a matter of course.
