Strolling

Chinese culture is "tolerance is big", which helps China to win more friends.

Recently, the word storm on the campus of Nanyang University of Science and Technology has stirred a ripple on the media and the Internet.

The English words on the Spring Festival Activity Board jointly organized by the Nanda Chinese Society, the South University Student Association, and the Graduate Association are how the Eye on the Spring Festival Activity Board is how Lunar New Year is Celebrated Around ASIA.Asian countries celebrate the "Spring Festival" exchange activities.However, the English Lunar was changed to Chinese with a pen, and the identity of the "one character" caused people to associate.

"Lunar" on the exhibition board is not wrong, because the event is done for students from countries with the Spring Festival culture. Even foreign students who have not celebrated the Lunar New Year should be popular.

The organizer and the South University Student Affairs Office are completely correct; in the context of Singapore, it is right to say "Chinese New Year".Premier Li Xianlong publishes words on New Year's Eve every year and worship the Chinese compatriots every year.

Singapore is a diverse social society. Political leaders look at colleagues and congratulate all ethnic or important religious festivals.

Over the years, the "Chinese New Year" and "Lunar New Year" have been adopted by the government and the people. There is no standardized title, and it is not necessary.Judging from the online response, the offended students think that Chinese New Year's Chinese refers to "Chinese", which has its sacredness and cannot be changed.However, in the diverse environment of university campuses, it is more tolerant to say that "the Lunar New Year".

On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat -sen swore to the temporary president of the Republic of China in Nanjing, published a declaration of inauguration and complaining of compatriots in the country.The next day, Sun Yat -sen made the provinces change the solar calendar and opened the door to the world with the foundation of the Republic of China as the start of the Republic of China.

The government of the Republic of China once wanted to abolish the lunar calendar to the early 19th century; Japan, who "get rid of Asia into Europe", also abolished the Spring Festival, but failed.Since ancient times, as a seasonal season, folk customs have been based on the lunar calendar, and have not entered history because of this.

Thousands of years of farming culture, bundle the lunar calendar with the Chinese thinking and feelings, constitute an important cultural content in the Chinese character culture circle.

Without the lunar calendar, where is so many traditional festivals in the end?The Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid -Yuan Festival, the Mid -Autumn Festival, the Winter Solstice, etc. are all traditional festivals that Chinese people value.These festivals imply the values of life of the Chinese people. Other countries that watch the festival of the lunar calendar, such as South Korea and Vietnam, also have different degrees and ways to celebrate.These festivals do not need to cover the word "Chinese".

China is the second largest economy in the world and has developed technology.The Chinese are more self -confident, but they have become more sensitive.

With the strength of various aspects, China has more advantages to expand cultural soft power.Defining the Lunar New Year as "Chinese New Year" is a cultural attempt, but this attempt has a strong exclusiveness, and the politicalization of culture may also lead to the political rebound of other countries.

It is offended because of Lunar New Year and is a psychological response that I only respect.Chinese culture has long has a deep influence on neighbor Asian neighbors, especially the neighbors of the Chinese character cultural circle.However, due to high self -confidence, it loses affinity and even evolves into narrow nationalism, which may have a sense of alienation between neighboring countries.

Every Chinatown in Western Society has a dragon dance lion dance every New Year. Today, even Indonesian cities have risen a dragon and lion dance.It is self -evident.

Chinese year?lunar New Year?The unnecessary dispute, there is nothing in the world, and the mediocre people disturb.

When the United States tries to win Western allies, Japan and South Korea, and join its dominant anti -Chinese science and technology sanctions camp, Chinese culture "has a big one" and helps China to win more friends.

The cultural and folk habits brought by the hometown of Singapore's immigrants have taken root here, and they have developed inheritance and development.The significant increase in new immigrants has brought more colorful culture, such as the taste buds of the locals are accustomed to the spicy spicy pot.Absorb new nutrients and nourish local culture, and Chinese people also face challenges to preserve and promote Singapore Chinese culture.

However, what is "Singapore Chinese Culture" is also a difficult proposition.In this era, the bilingual knowledge base of the Chinese Cultural Center in Singapore came into being to promote the connotation and characteristics of local Chinese culture.

The "Singapore Chinese Cultural Knowledge Base" will begin in the middle of next year to fully introduce the development of the local Chinese literary and artistic and artistic, language education, belief and customs, popular culture and community organizations.

Knowledge Base is a key project, and so far, it has won the support and participation of local cultural and academia people.

Wu Shaojun, chairman of the Chinese Cultural Center, said on the Spring Festival on January 24 that to create a knowledge base through the cooperation of Chinese News Agency, in addition to helping to consolidate the existing Chinese cultural research, it can also develop a new research direction.

Singapore's achievements in all aspects today are caused by humanities, and the experience accumulated in the field of literature, history and art, and the cultural assets of the country's preciousness.In the process of collecting and sorting, it will be newly discovered in the past or as a matter of course.

The early Chinese immigrants brought the lunar calendar and rural customs. Today, the Chinese outside China have inherited the tradition of the ancient wisdom.

Over a week, it is the Lantern Festival. Ouyang Xiuyun in the Northern Song Dynasty: "On the moon on the moon, people are about at dusk", young people should cherish the Lantern Festival.
