Two years ago, several Chinese friends of me took me to Ntdtv's (New Tang TV) live Chinese Lunar New Year grand scale. It was a thrilling and enchanting music and dance performance with traditional Chinese instruments and costumes faithfully reproduced from old manuscripts, paintings and ceramics. Dragons, drums and dancers all evoked the magnificence of the great dynasty of China and the legend of distant history.
The ancient Chinese tradition talks about the harmony between the heavens and the earth. They say that humans were created by God. As well as culture, moral and spiritual guidance has also been granted to humans by the existence of God in different times in history. Humans respect Tao, "the laws and methods of God", and obey the order of the heaven, the society becomes rich and peaceful.
Like most Westerners, I did not know anything about Chinese New Year. So it is a terrible memory of a good New Year to see friends more freely to tell me. I learned that the Chinese New Year is actually being celebrated in nearly a quarter of the world's population in some Asian countries it is the most important holiday of the year It follows a monthly calendar, the moon It changes every year according to the cycle of.
Some friends shared about fire works and favorite foods - dumplings were often mentioned. One can post a simple, easy-to-understand poem or lucky phrase red paper and post it on the family's website. After breakfast, there will be a round of visits. The first pit stop will be a local temple to honor the gods when burning incense. Next, I visited relatives and friends. In many towns, musicians marched the streets to announce the arrival of spring.
The lantern festival tells the end of the New Year's season. It evolved from the ancient belief of the spirit of the celestial bodies flying in the light of the first full moon. Lanterns of many colors and shapes turned on during the night.
Maquiong, who grew up in a town near the Yangtze River, said, "Some communities will organize the lantern market, usually my mum will take us to see the activity, then she I would like to cook another good dinner including dumplings filled with syrup symbolizing harmony and the sweetness of life.
In recent years, she said that such tradition is changing in China. Fireworks were forbidden in big cities, people ate a New Year's dinner at the restaurant. Also, many people exchange New Year's greetings by telephone, so that they do not often visit each other. "But in my memory," Maquiong said, "China's Chinese New Year always means having fun time."
"Traditional Chinese culture and spiritual traditions have been destroyed and illegalized by the Chinese Communist Party," Jason, the doctor says. He said that CCP broke almost all temples and burned ancient manuscripts. Since grasping power in the late 40s, they changed history books and brainwashed Chinese generations with party culture, class struggle, Marxist ideology.
"Young people know nothing about the true Chinese history and the deeper value of ancient traditions," Jason said. "NTDTV and the annual global Chinese new year show are instruments in promoting the reproduction of traditional Chinese culture.The performances are magnificent and full of aristocrats.
