东北亚区域合作：规避风险， 提升潜力，重点突破 Cooperation in Northeast Asia: Overcome Risks and Enhance the Potential

从上个世纪60年代日本学者提出环日本海圈概念，到80年代中国学者正式提出东北亚区域概念，30多 年间，东北亚区域合作经过理论到实践，单边到多边等曲折过程，取得了令人瞩目的合作成果，在世界区 域合作中的地位日益上升，影响日益扩大，潜力不断彰显。与此同时，随着国际和周边形势复杂多变，东 北亚区域合作在基础夯实、潜力凸显的同时，也面临来自区域内外的诸多不确定性和风险的挑战。如何规 避风险，提升潜力，重点突破，是摆在东北亚各国面前的紧迫课题。 作为世界最有发展潜力的地区，东北亚地区汇集了中俄日韩等全球位居前列经济体和发达、发展中及 金砖成员国，面积、人口、GDP总量、贸易和投资等在全球举足轻重，未来的东北亚区域合作充满生机和 活力，最终有可能超越北美自贸区和欧盟成为世界最大的区域经济体。但不可否认，在推进现实的东北亚 区域合作时，还受诸多风险困扰。例如：TPP等更宽泛经济体的热议不可避免对东北亚区域合作产生挤压 乃至被边缘化的问题；核能安全、恐怖袭击、自然灾难等超越传统安全的非传统安全因素日益上升，给区 域内跨国合作提出了新的命题；在和平与发展成为区域合作主题的同时，朝核问题走势的扑朔迷离和恶化 黑龙江省社会科学院东北亚研究所所长、 研究员

趋势、中日战略互惠不断被弱化的风险，都将考验区域内主要国家求同存异、谋求共赢的智慧。目前，东 北亚区域合作不容易面面俱到，需要在打造互联互通的东北亚、通过人文旅游促进相互理解、进一步提升 多边合作软实力、进一步提高地方政府开放和合作水平等方面谋求重点突破。以此促进东北亚各国加速在 官方、半官方和民间等层面开展全方位•多层次•宽领域的务实合作。

The term “Pan-Japan Sea Region (Pan-East Sea Region)” started to be used in the academic circle of Japan in the 1960s, while the concept of “Northeast Asia” as a region was officially proposed by Chinese scholars in the 1980s. Since then, for the following 30 years, theories on cooperation potential within Northeast Asia have turned into reality. Cooperation of various fields and at different levels demonstrated by Northeast Asian countries have resulted in everincreasing influence and remarkable growth of the region, grabbing the attention of the world.

Moreover, as the international landscape undergoes profound changes with growing uncertainty and complexity, the solid foundation for cooperation has come even more to the forefront.

However, Northeast Asia has faced various challenges and risks as well from within and outside as each country is looking for a breakthrough to address such uncertainties and elevate its potential.

Northeast Asia has the largest growth potential with significant influence in terms of area, population, GDP, trade, investment and etc., encompassing the world's leading developed and developing countries as well as BRICS members, such as China, Russia, Japan and Korea. It is not easy to imagine that the robust cooperation among them may someday lead to the biggest economic bloc surpassing even NAFTA and EU. However, we have still a long path to go and would enounter many risks and difficulties to realize such practical regional cooperation.

For instance, trade blocs such as TPP, also known as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement may become one of the risk factors by putting pressure on cooperation in Northeast Asia and reducing the importance of the region. Furthermore, new security threats such as nuclear proliferation, terrorism and natural disasters have emerged as a new challenge for cooperation between regional countries. On the path toward development and peace, we rather face uncertainties such as the nuclear crisis of North Korea and weakening reciprocal relations between China and Japan, which can be solved only through acknowledging difference and leveraging the interdependence.

For now, it is hard to expect perfect cooperation in Northeast Asia. In order to overcome our challenges, we need to build a well-functioning collaboration system, deepen mutual understanding by growing in knowledge of history and humanities and foster “soft” power through multi-faceted efforts. At the same time, the opening-up and cooperation between local governments should be brought to a higher level as well. Each country in Northeast Asia should accelerate its efforts to bring about substantial cooperation in various fields, at different levels and through varied approaches.

More than 130 artists and 70 companies from 44 countries participated under the title of “圖可圖非常圖 (Design is Design is Not Design)” inspired by the first words of Do Duk Kyeong (Tao Te Ching, 道德經 ) “the way that is the way is not always the way.” Under the co-direction of Korean architect Seung H-Sang and Chinese artist and architectural designer Ai Weiwei, it served a laboratory that explores the dynamic of design that is placed and un-placed, design that is named and un-named, and the communities that are woven through these relations. In particular, the “urban folly project,”* one of the leading features of the exhibition is expected to be exported to Turkey, France and Spain. Founded in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Gwangju Biennale, the Gwangju Design Biennale is held in every odd year. * Urban Folly: From the viewpoint that architecture is considered as a part of highly interrelated urban structure, the theme “urban folly” were examined by constructing a network of 10 small-scale architectural installation along the path of the old city wall of Gwangju to help revitalize the old city center and link between the public and the city.

蒙古文字华丽的变身 Calligraphy(书法) Calligraphy - the Dramatic Transformation of the Mongolian Script

蒙古人自古以来使用契丹、八思巴、托忒、索永布、瓦金德拉、拉丁文 字等。其中，八思巴、古文字索永布、新西里尔文字是代表文字体系。

Throughout history, a variety of scripts were used by Mongolian people, including Khitan, Phags-pa, Tod, Soyombo, Vagindra, Latin and etc. Among them, Phags-pa, Soyombo, Cyrillic scripts and the traditional Mongolian alphabet have been the most leading writing systems of Mongolia.

马可·波罗离开蒙古时随身携带的忽必烈汗时代护照，已用八思巴文字写 ▶ 着“永久的天下不服从汗命是不对的”。 Mongol passport, Yuan dynasty (1271~1368): Marco Polo on his return journey from Mongolia would have carried one. The inscription reads in translation: “By the strength of Eternal Heaven, an edict of the Emperor [Khan].

He who has no respect shall be guilty.”

八思巴文字 八思巴文字（1269 ~ 1368）为13世纪用于标记元朝各种语言的拼音文字，目前已停止使用。

Phags-pa Script Phags-pa script (1269 ~ 1368) was designed as one set of phonetic symbols for all the languages of the whole Yuan dynasty. The script did not receive wide acceptance and fell into disuse with the collapse of the Yuan dynasty in 1368.

蒙古古文字 蒙古古文字于12 ~ 13世纪来自回鹘地区，竖写模式文字中，唯一从左往右写的字体。此文字受到蒙古的民主 化、民族主义影响，自1994年始于鼓励从小学开始实施蒙古文字教育等政策。但是由于竖写不利于电算化、文字与 发音间不规则、人民已习惯用新西里尔文字等原因，古文字普及运动没起到应有作用。蒙古虽然没将古文字定为官 方文字，目前仍在小学、大学开设教育古文字的课程。

Traditional Mongolian Alphabet

◄ 以蒙古古文字标记“蒙古” he word “Monggul” in the T classic script

16

At the very beginning of the Mongol Empire, between the 12th and the 13th century, Genghis Khan adapted the Uyghur alphabet to write Mongol. Its most salient feature is its vertical direction; it is the only vertical script that is written from left to right. With political democratization and Mongolian nationalism, the government promoted the use of the alphabet by teaching it in elementary schools. However, this

会员专栏 | Feature Report

campaign was not very successful, because the script is not easy to computerize, not as much perfect fit for the Mongolian language as the Cyrillic alphabet and because the Cyrillic alphabet was already widely used among the public. Though not used as an official script, training courses are included in the curriculums of some elementary schools and universities.

索永布文字 创立于1686年的索永布文字，大约200年间主要用于寺庙等建筑物的装饰。目前停止使用，但在蒙古国旗上仍存在。 ◄ 以索永布文字标记“蒙古” T he word “Monggul” in the Soyomobo script

Soyombo Script The Soyombo script was developed in 1686. A special character of the script, the Soyombo symbol, became a national symbol of Mongolia, and has appeared on the national flag since 1921. it can usually be found in temple inscriptions.

新西里尔文字 蒙古经过共产主义革命后，从1946年正式开始使用新西里尔文字。蒙古的新西里尔文字是原西里尔文字的字母 加 上 和 Y Y两个符号的文字。 目前在官方使用的蒙古文字是西里尔文，但蒙古古文字对蒙古学而言仍然是很重要的资料。成吉思汗曾规定全 蒙古民族使用古文字，并制作了诸多经典、碑文，过去东方文明国家的著名文学作品的翻译版本也有的使用了古文 字。其中最古老的文物是大约于1225年制作的成吉思汗碑文，此碑现收藏于俄罗斯圣彼得堡的埃尔米塔日博物馆。 ◄ 以索永布文字标记“蒙古” Cyrillic script

Cyrillic Script The most recent Mongolian alphabet is based on the Cyrillic script, more specifically the Russian and YY. It was introduced in 1946 after the communist revolution and has alphabet plus the letters, been in use as the official writing system of Mongolia ever since.

Though the official writing system is the Cyrillic script today, the traditional Mongolian alphabet is still important for Mongol studies. As it was adopted by Genghis Khan as the national script, there are many old scriptures, epitaphs, and translations of the literature from civilized countries written in the alphabet.

One of the oldest heritages is Genghis Khan's stele, which is inscribed around 1225 and is now at the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. 最近蒙古正在积极进行蒙古传统文字古文字宣传、介绍活动，为了促进普及此文字，每年都召开蒙 古文展示会。而且，蒙古学者与艺术家向世界推广蒙古固有文字的优势，在研究开发蒙古书法同时，召 开国际性展示会。尤其是，蒙古古文字书法最近开发较多，以图像表现古文字的作品逐渐增加，这对展 示古文字的美观、了解文字都有帮助。古文字虽然是个拼音文字，但能呈现出文字意思，的确是有吸引 力的文字。蒙古人将古文字书法用于签字、印章、广告作品装饰等多种用途。

Recently, exhibitions are held every year to introduce and spread the use of the old Mongolian script to the public. In particular, Mongolian scholars and artists have learnt, studied and developed calligraphy and organized international exhibitions to publicize its excellence. Beautiful poetry or oriental philosopy written in the old script often turns into an elegant artwork. The calligraphic writings are also used for signitures, stamps or commercial advertisings. 下面介绍几件蒙古古文字书法大师巴特巴雅尔先生的作品 Here are some calligraphic works produced by Jalair Dovdon Batbayar, a world-renowned calligraphist and teacher of painting from Mongolia:

1.“春” “春”字 代表被诗词歌赋精细刻画的春天里的自然美景。 此作品的风格、标题以及结构都保留了其特殊风格，这显然与其他国家不同。 书法家的印章用古老的篆字以及蒙古特有的风格刻制而成，意在用书法向公众显示 1994年春天的到来。

1. “Spring” The word “Spring” represents the natural beauty by fine description of Spring. The writing style, title and structure of the Mongolian script preserve its special features which are clearly different from the scripts of other nations. The Mongolian script was displayed first to the public in 1994. 书法作品 ▲ Calligraphic artwork

2.“知识之光” 由蒙古语言学家林钦·比爱姆巴·雍诗布（1905-1977）用书法的特殊字体编写的七节诗描写刻画了蒙语的过去、现 在和未来的发展历程，象征着蒙古文化与文学的繁荣昌盛。如下几行字都是以太阳的样式来著作的： “悠扬的蒙古语言，听者愉悦”； 这是我们勇敢的祖先的伟大遗产吗？ 我很钦佩和欣赏蒙语的音调优美和寓意深刻； 因此，每当我听到蒙语，我不禁便赞美我们睿智的蒙古人民。

书法家将本人的印章拓在作品上面，并在作品左下侧亲笔签名。

2. “Light of Knowledge” The seven stanzas written by Mongolian linguistic scholar Rinchin Byamba Yonshyobu (1905~1977) on Mongolian language in the past, present and future were written in the Mongolian calligraphic style

symbolizing the future prosperity of the Mongolian culture and literature. The following lines were written in the form of the sun: “Melodious Mongolian language which sounds pleasant Is the great heritage of our brave ancestors I admire and enjoy its melodious and rich language And I praise our bright people, whenever I hear it...”

The calligrapher's name seal was affixed and his signature was signed below left.

3.“爱是……” “爱是将您的生命献给恋人……”：眷顾与爱怜一个女人的美丽与爱情，从身心上鼓励其美好的生活，了解、 感受和理解爱情的真谛便是尊重人类最宝贵的生命。 这幅作品用花朵来点缀，象征着“爱意永存”。

3. “Loving is ……”

“Loving is giving life to somebody ……”: To tender and care the beauty and love of a woman and to give her physical and mental encouragement for all her life and to know, feel and understand the great world of love are to respect the precious human body.

The work was decorated with a flower seal to mean “May love flourish”.

4.“莫尔”-马 “莫尔”是蒙语的“马”，以蒙古古文字来形容马。

4. “Mori-Horse” The word “Horse” was described by coarse brush line by its special form of writing.

尊敬的联合会会员们： 您们好！ 我是岛根县知事沟口善兵卫。很荣幸借此机会向联合会的兄弟姐妹们介绍岛根县

7月29日至8月3日，岛根县成功举办了“2011东北亚交流之翼 in 岛根”活动。在此感谢联合会秘书处以及各位同仁的大力支持与协助。 该活动是自2002年来一直在岛根县举办的联合会会员间青年交流项目。我们希冀，通过举办这个项目将会促进联合会的发展，加强会员间 的互助与合作。 岛根县自然风景秀丽，历史文化悠久，名胜古迹颇多。古代的行政中心松江城、被联合国科教文组织列为世界遗产的石见银山、素有山阴 小京都之美誉的津和野町、三瓶山以及出云大社都是岛根县享誉国内外的有名古迹。 2012年，《古事记》(古代大事记）出土1300年。《古事记》囊括了诸多古代神话，其中著名的有《建速須佐之男命》、《八岐大蛇》和 《大国主命》等等。2013年，岛根县将举办许多活动和祭神仪式，这些活动每60年在出云大社举行一次。 岛根县诚邀各位参加这些传统文化节日。

Dear friends!

I am Mizoguchi Zembee, the Governor of Shimane Prefecture and delighted to introduce our Prefecture to you.

On 29 July - 3 August, “The Northeast Asia Wings of Exchange in Shimane 2011” was held in Shimane and I wish to thank the NEAR Secretariat and many other colleagues for their considerable help.

The project is a youth exchange program which has been running since 2002. We hope that the participants of this project will play an important role in strengthening regional networks in Northeast Asia based on the knowledge and experience attained through this program.

Shimane Prefecture is rich in natural, cultural and historical resources. Among them are: Matsue castle, which celebrates its 400th anniversary; Izumo Grand Shrine Temple housing the match-making god; World Heritage Site Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine; Tsuwano Town called “a small Kyoto of Sanin”; Oki islands, Sanbe Mountains and many others.

The year 2012 marks the 1300 anniversary of the compilation of the Kojiki, the oldest extant chronicle of Japan, which features many myths from Shimane, such as “the extermination of the Yamatonoorochi (the eight-tailed serpent) by Susanoo,” and the “transfer of the land by Okuninushi (Master of the Great Land).” Meanwhile, in 2013, the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine will have an event that only happens once every 60 years, when the resident deity, or kami, is installed into a newly rebuilt shrine.

I hope you come to Shimane and discover its charms and archaic energy for yourself!
