The Spring Festival is not a Christmas, and attention should be paid to this tendency
Countries around the world are celebrating the Lunar New Year, and the BBC recently reported on the event. Interestingly, some Chinese netizens confuse the Spring Festival with the ** religious festival, believing that the Chinese Spring Festival is becoming a global festival, and Chinese must celebrate Christmas, otherwise it will appear closed, narrow and even nationalistic.
However, this does not mean that we should abandon our own traditional festivals, but rather respect and celebrate various cultures.
Why force the Chinese to celebrate Christmas, which even Israel does not celebrate? Isn't it the most simple truth to live your own festival and let him live his festival, to appreciate the beauty of each other, and to respect and appreciate the beauty of others?
Christmas Day is a holiday set up by the Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus. In Judaism, Jesus was considered the savior of the Jews, but instead of becoming a monarch like King David, he died after suffering.
This is fundamentally different from the Church's understanding and perception of Jesus as King and Redeemer.
Did you misunderstand? Because of religious beliefs, Jews and those who are more influenced by Jewish culture do not celebrate Christmas. Nowadays, many people are taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese New Year has become a global holiday to try to introduce ** religion and make it a must-celebrate festival for Chinese, but this may be a misunderstanding or spinal deviation caused by sciatica.
Actually, the Lunar New Year is called by various names, such as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. This year, people around the globe rang the bell in the early hours of February 10 for the arrival of the Year of the Dragon.
Mr. Leung, Executive Director of the San Francisco Chinese Cultural Center, said, "This is one of the most important and famous festivals in Asia, rich in cultural connotations, symbolizing the beginning of a lucky, prosperous and happy new year. ”
Communist Party members are Marxist atheists, and this is the basic principle and stand of the Party. On a personal level, it is understandable that some people may feel close to a particular religion for family or other reasons.
However, as members of the Communist Party, especially high-ranking cadres of the Party, we should firmly stand on the stand of Marxism, strictly abide by the provisions of the Party Constitution, strengthen our ideals and convictions, and keep firmly in mind the purpose of the Party.
We can't go to religion to find our own values and beliefs, and we can't use the influence of the Internet to deliberately set pace. Because of the great influence of the Internet, some people have a preference for ** religion, so they spread ** religion culture from time to time, and even provoked the contradiction between December 25 and 26, demanding the great leader of the Chinese people, asking atheists to commemorate and worship Jesus like ** disciples, and wrapping absurd logic into the document package of reform and opening up.
This tendency requires our vigilance and attention.
Freedom of belief is a basic right granted to citizens by the Constitution, whether it is to believe in religion or choose atheism, it is a citizen's independent choice. However, as the vanguard of the proletariat, the beliefs of Communist Party members are closely linked to the nature of the Party and the world outlook.
Communist Party members are not allowed to believe in religion and participate in any religious activities. Even after retirement, Communist Party members still need to strictly abide by the Party Constitution and Marxist theory in ideology, politics and action, and constantly improve themselves.
Some people believe that ** religion should be more open in China, and Chinese should be desensitized to ** religious culture, so that they can spend Christmas Eve and Christmas in a grand manner, just like foreigners celebrate the Spring Festival.
This argument is not valid because there are many people of different religions in China who believe in different sects. Although the Spring Festival and Christmas are both folk festivals, they are different after all, because Christmas is a festival of one of the various sects that believe in the monotheistic religion of God, while the Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival.
