聯合國郵票上展現世界頂尖藝術巨匠人物應祚智風采Top International Artist Ying Zuozhi Featured on Stamp Issued by UNPA 【時代周刊 記者翹華】 隨著中華傳統文化在國際上的廣泛影響，近日聯合國郵政部門發行了一張以世界藝術巨匠應祚智肖像為主題的紀念郵票。這張郵票的發行是對應祚智巨匠多年來在中國書畫研究上取得杰出成就的充分肯定和贊譽。〈Qiao Hua, Times〉 - In response to the growing international influence of Chinese traditional culture, the United Nations Postal Administration(UNPA) recently issued a commemorative stamp with the portrait of the world art master Ying Zuozhi. This stamp is the best recognition and affirmation of the achievements made by Mr. Ying in Chinese painting and calligraphy over the years.據悉，聯合國郵政總局是世界上唯一既不是國家又沒有領土但卻可以發行郵票的組織，也是世界上唯一以美元、瑞士法郎和歐元三種不同貨幣發行郵票的郵政當局。聯合國郵票的設計聘請了世界各國著名美術家，郵票構圖新穎，寓意深刻，許多郵票都有政治含義，闡釋著聯合國的宗旨和成就。The UNPA is the only organization permitted to issue postage stamps, even though it is not a country or a territory. It is also the only postal authority that issues stamps in three different currencies: U.S. dollars, Swiss francs and euros. The design of the United Nations stamps employs famous artists from all over the world. The stamps have novel compositions and profound meanings. The stamps are designed to illustrate the aims and achievements of the United Nations and therefore many of them carry political connotations.同時聯合國郵票是微型藝術品，曾經贏得過國際設計獎，該郵票由世界各地的藝術家創作，由不同國家的最優良、最可靠的印刷廠印刷。聯合國郵票超越了集郵的界限，它提示人們關注重大的世界問題。At the same time, the UNPA stamps are miniature works of art that have won many international design awards. The stamps are created by artists around the world and printed by the best and most reliable printing houses in different countries. United Nations stamps go beyond philatelic boundaries and draw attention to major world issues.近年來聯合國郵票上的中國文化和元素題材逐漸增多，尤其這次以世界頂尖藝術巨匠應祚智肖像為題材的選擇，說明應祚智巨匠的中國書畫藝術得到了世界各國人民的喜愛和關注。In recent years, we see a growing trend of Chinese culture and elements on the UN stamps. The selection of the portrait of the world art master Ying Zuozhi as the UNPA stamp is a testament that the works of Ying Zuozhi have been widely loved and welcomed by people all over the world. 應祚智巨匠現任廣東外語外貿大學特聘教授，廣東工貿職業技術學院產業教授。鑒于其在中國書畫藝術上取得的杰出成就和重大貢獻，2020年被聯合國世界非物質文化遺產保護基金會授予“世界和平藝術家（院士）”，2021年被聯合國世界非物質文化遺產保護基金會授予“中歐文化交流大使”（一級教授），2021被聯合國世界非遺基金會和歐洲郵票協會聯合授予“世界藝術巨匠郵票人物應祚智”（特級教授），在國際上倍譽崇隆，影響巨大。Ying Zuozhi is currently a visiting professor of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and an Industry Professor at Guangdong Polytechnic of Industry & Commerce. In recognition of his outstanding achievements and contributions in traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, he was awarded the "World Peace Artist (Academician)" by the United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation in 2020, and the “Europe-Chinese Cultural Exchange Ambassador” by the United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation and the “World Art Master Stamp Characters” by United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation and the European Philatelic Association in 2021.應祚智巨匠表示，中華文化博大精深，藝術的靈魂在于信息的傳播。如何推動中華優秀傳統文化傳播到世界，應是當今藝術家的責任擔當和歷史使命。過去傳播傳統文化，只是單純的通過文化來傳播文化，而此次站在國際舞臺的高度，通過聯合國郵票的的形式，將中國藝術拓展到世界各國，讓世界人民能欣賞到中國藝術，更多的了解中國藝術，這也是中國藝術對世界藝術發展的貢獻。 Ying Zuozhi believes that China has an expansive and profound culture, the essence of which needs to be spread to the world. To promulgate and communicate the best of traditional Chinese culture to the world, should be the responsibility and purpose of established Chinese artists. Traditional Chinese culture used to be conveyed through cultural works and events. This time, however, in the form of United Nations stamps, Chinese art will be distributed to all countries across the globe, so that people around the world can appreciate and understand more of Chinese art. It is also a major contribution of Chinese art to the development of world art.
