一、缘起

万荣县位于汾河与黄河交汇处的黄河东岸，地处华北、西北、中原三大地域连接处的山西省西南部，运城市西北部，隶属于山西省运城市。万荣县西濒黄河与陕西省韩城市相望，南峙孤峰山与临猗县、盐湖区相连，东枕稷王山与闻喜县相接，北有峨嵋台地与河津市相邻。万荣县是中华民族发祥地之一，史书上有皇天后土的记载：自轩辕黄帝在“汾阴脽”上扫地为坛祭后土至宋真宗皇帝，先后有8位皇帝共24次在后土祠祭祀，其中汉武帝祭祀后土7次并留下了千古绝唱《秋风辞》。

万荣县历史文化底蕴深厚，地理位置独特绝佳，旅游资源丰富多彩，农副产品质优多样，具备发展成为国际知名的旅游目的地绝佳条件。从历史文化和地域特色方面，后土祠、东岳庙、李家大院、黄河湿地、孤峰山等历史古迹及自然景观就是一条优质的旅游路线，不但让游客深入体验和感受万荣在历史长河中的重要地位，更能感受中国传统文化的博大精深。

万荣境内有中国母亲河—黄河以及山西母亲河—汾河。此处地理位置唯一、独特，湿地环境丰富辽阔，黄土沟壑奇异多姿，是建设雕塑艺术公园的绝佳之处。建设两河之间以“黄河文化”为主题的雕塑艺术公园，与世界文明发祥地两河流域（幼发拉底河和底格里斯河）遥相呼应，必会成为世界闻名、国内唯一、举世瞩目的旅游目的地。中国·万荣黄河文化国际雕塑艺术大展将邀请国内外著名艺术家根据湿地沟壑环境创作实施，将公园打造成影响国内外的艺术胜地。

二、活动主题

主题释义：黄河文化·农耕文明

2019年9月，习近平总书记在黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展座谈会上的重要讲话中指出，“黄河文化是中华文明的重要组成部分，是中华民族的根和魂。要推进黄河文化遗产的系统保护，守好老祖宗留给我们的宝贵遗产。要深入挖掘黄河文化蕴含的时代价值，讲好‘黄河故事’，延续历史文脉，坚定文化自信，为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦凝聚精神力量。”黄河是中华民族的母亲河，根植于黄河流域的黄河文化是中华文明中最具代表性、最具影响力的主体文化。

因此，以“黄河文化·农耕文明”为主题，通过深度挖掘黄河文化内涵，发扬农耕文明精神，扶持新时代黄河文化公共艺术的创作生产，举办“中国·万荣黄河文化国际雕塑艺术大展”，有助于推动黄河文化创造性转化和创新性发展，从而不断丰富黄河文化的展现形式，弘扬黄河文化与农耕文明，使之生生不息。
