Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, representing the traditional culture and national spirit of the Chinese people. However, it was recently reported that the U.S. Embassy suddenly deleted the words "Chinese new year" and changed it to promote "lunar new year" when promoting China's Spring Festival culture. This practice is not only surprising and incomprehensible, but also highlights the hypocrisy and cunning of the US policy toward China.
First of all, we need to be clear that "Chinese New Year" is one of the important parts of Chinese culture, representing the traditional festivals and traditional culture of the Chinese people. It is not only a simple date concept, but also an important carrier carrying the profound historical heritage and cultural connotation of the Chinese nation. Therefore, the US Embassy's promotion of the "Chinese New Year" is a respect and recognition of traditional Chinese culture, and an opportunity for friendly exchanges and mutual learning between the Chinese and American peoples. However, the United States ** tried to mislead the public about traditional Chinese culture by deleting "Chinese New Year", and its intentions can be described as extremely sinister. Such behavior is not only a desecration and disrespect for Chinese culture, but also a sabotage of exchanges and cooperation between the Chinese and American peoples. This can't help but make people wonder whether the United States really cares about the healthy development of Sino-US relations. Are you really willing to treat China as an equal and mutually beneficial?
Secondly, we also need to recognize that although the "lunar new year" occupies a certain place in Chinese culture, it is not the mainstream of Chinese culture. China's Spring Festival celebrations range from the lively and festive Lunar New Year to the mystical dragon dance and lion leap folk customs. These rich cultural elements are the true portrayal of the Chinese New Year in Chinese. The "lunar new year" promoted by the United States is undoubtedly a simplification of Chinese culture into a single concept, ignoring the existence of other important elements. This is an irresponsible way of spreading culture.
Finally, we would like to call on people all over the world to pay attention to and protect the common traditional cultural heritage of mankind. Only through mutual understanding and respect for the differences of different cultures and traditions can true harmony and prosperity be achieved.
In short, the US embassy's promotion of a "lunar new year" instead of a "Chinese new year" hides the calculations and conspiracies of its China policy. This practice not only harms the cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States, but also hurts the feelings of the Chinese people. It is hoped that the United States will face up to this problem, abandon its narrow nationalism and arrogance, treat different cultures and traditions with an open and inclusive attitude, and promote the healthy and stable development of China-US relations. At the same time, we should also strengthen the inheritance and promotion of traditional Chinese culture, so that more people can understand and recognize the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and contribute to building a better world.
