「開啟人類智慧寶庫的鑰匙有三把：一是數學、二是語言、三是音符。」（TROIS CLÉS POUR OUVRIR LA MAISON DU TRÉSOR DE LA SAGESSE HUMAINE: D’ABORD, LES MATHÉMATIQUES, LA LANGUE, LA TROISIÈME NOTE.）——維克多•雨果（VICTOR HUGO）
在這座俯拾皆藝術，文化氣息濃厚的城市裏，里昂一年四季舉辦著各式各樣的藝文活動，我有幸走訪幾個享譽盛名的夏日慶典，真切感受其飽滿且具多元風采的文化能量。
每年的歐洲夏至6月21日，為全球共120國家一同響應的音樂慶典——「世界音樂節「（FÊTE DE LA MUSIQIE），起源於1982年的巴黎, 由當時的文化部長傑克•朗（JACK LANG）以及作曲家莫里斯•弗勒雷（MAURICE FLEURICE）所發起。在這裏，我深刻地感受到音樂的魔力，不分種族，不分性別年齡，不分國籍，大夥兒秉持著對音樂的熱忱與喜愛，從拉丁、搖滾、流行、電子、非洲鼓樂、福音、嘻哈、饒舌等種類，一場又一場的表演，於街頭巷弄粉墨登場，無論是彩排過的專業團隊，或是即興演出，整座城市仿若化身大型舞台，正為音樂喝采！2022年恰為世界音樂節四十週年，我能夠在現場參與此盛會，更是備感榮耀。
休息了一晚，在音樂節的隔天，即是歷史悠久，傳襲至今的古羅馬宗教儀式——「教堂開門日」（OUVERTURE），有幸欣賞到源自古羅馬文化的宮廷舞蹈和雜技表演，讓人雀躍不已。一旁的表演者熱情地開著直播邀請我合唱一曲. 偶然間, 一位優雅的紳士，則是俯身邀我共舞，而我之後也和兩位宮廷貴族合影，留下此珍貴的一刻。
綜觀這一切，都是「音樂」讓我們聚在一起，現在我要說：「音樂絕對是世界上最美好的事。」

【Silk Road to France Vol 2.】Music is the most beautiful thing in the world
"There are three keys to the treasury of human wisdom: one is mathematics, another is language, and the third is musical notes. --VICTOR HUGO
In a city full of art and culture, Lyon hosts a wide variety of artistic and cultural events throughout the year, and I had the opportunity to visit several prestigious summer festivals to get a real sense of its full and diverse cultural energy.
The FÊTE DE LA MUSIQIE, an annual music festival held on June 21, the European summer solstice, is a celebration of music in 120 countries around the world, and initiated and originated in Paris in 1982 by the Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, and the composer Maurice Fleur. Here, I felt the magic of music, regardless of race, gender, age, or nationality, and the enthusiasm and love for music. I was honored to be there for the 40th anniversary of the World Music Festival in 2022.
After a night's rest, the next day of the was the Ouverture (Church Open Day), an ancient Roman religious ritual with a long history that has been passed till now a days. By a chance, one elegant gentleman leaned over and invited me to dance with him, and after that, I took a photo with two court nobles to capture this precious moment.
Throughout all of this, it was "music" that brought us together, and now I have to say, "Music is definitely the best thing in the world.
