Xinhua Times Review: Cultural self-confidence from the Spring Festival| reunion: the ties that cannot be broken, the blood that is constantly cut

"The wind and frost in heaven and earth are exhausted, and the weather is clean and the weather is harmonious." On January 31, Chinese New Year's Eve, the land of Shenzhou opened the time of Chinese blessing and entered the Chinese time and space of reunion.

Spring Festival, your alias is Reunion. The Spring Festival is a festival of great reunion, a veritable celebration of Kyushu and a national reunion. Without orders, we agree not to change for thousands of years, the desire to return to the knees of our parents and elders, the desire to return to the place where we were born and grew up, the desire to return to the starting point of our lives, so that we are not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of thousands of peaks and valleys, and march towards reunion - the reunion of the family, the reunion of the family, the reunion of the hometown into the reunion of the home country and the cohesion of the nation. Just because we are on duty at work, because of our career responsibilities, because of the defense of the country, because of the epidemic prevention and control, we choose to stay behind, and our desire to cross thousands of rivers and mountains has become a watch for thousands of rivers and mountains, and the care of thousands of lights.

We say that the Spring Festival is a festival of great reunion, what is the "big" of reunion? This is the cultural inheritance of the Spring Festival sacrifices to the ancestors and the ancestors of the ancestors for thousands of years, and to thank the parents of heaven and earth. During the Spring Festival, we return by plane, we return by high-speed train, and we return by car and boat. What is more profound than the geographical return is that we take the boat of time, trace the long river of history back to the matrix of our civilization, and on the special day of the Spring Festival, to taste the cultural ties and civilization blood of the Chinese nation that cannot be forgotten and broken for thousands of years - this is the spiritual source that unites the Chinese nation and stretches endlessly.

In the Spring Festival reunion, our Chinese view of time and space is closely linked. Mount Tai is like a belt, and the Yellow River is like a belt. This green water and green mountains have been sung by Li Bai and Wang Wei, described by Zhang Zeduan and Mi Haiyue, and have been watered with blood by countless heroes Haojie. This is the land cultivated by our ancestors, this is the place where the sages and martyrs fought, this is the homeland that our parents and ancestors cherished, and it is also the homeland that we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren. So we celebrate this festival of spring returning to the earth and warming the sun.

The Spring Festival is a distinctive label, carrying the blood of the chinese civilization inherited through the ages, and highlighting the ideological wisdom, spiritual pursuit and cultural self-confidence of the Chinese nation. A blessing, a meme, from offline to online, from China to the world, from the East to the West, the festive Chinese elements are packaged and sent. Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Chinese red in street shops in Western countries, Chinese New Year celebrations held in London's Trafalgar Square, Tang costumes, the tip of the tongue of the Orient, the big red "Fu" word... Spring Festival is not only a festival concept, but also a complete cultural ecosystem. The Spring Festival is not only those who dance lions and step on stilts, not just those who meet and bow their hands and say "Good New Year", but the cultural character of hard work and thrift, humility and peace, and kindness to people they carry.

The spring breeze is mighty and becomes a weathered person. The profound Chinese culture, Chinese and courteous charm of the Spring Festival also attract and infect the world. Spring Festival greetings sent from world political leaders from all over the world, and friends from different countries shouting "Happy New Year" in unfamiliar Chinese... The oriental wisdom of "harmony and difference" is silently spreading the value concept of "Harmony and All Nations".

Some people say that where there is land, there is Chinese, and where there is Chinese, there is a Spring Festival. At this moment, no matter where we are, we feel warm and united because of this festival. (Reporter Wang Libin)
