Hello, welcome to listen to the new issue of "Taiwan Weekly Talk", I am Xiaoxiao.
23, Fujian Meizhou Ancestral Temple Mazu statue began a 17-day parade in Taiwan. This grand ceremony of faith not only shows that religions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are passed down from generation to generation and cannot be stopped, but also proves that the cultures on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are integrated and cannot be cut off, which undoubtedly hits the DPP authorities with a heavy blow. But on the other hand, the National Education Department's Curriculum Review Conference meeting turned around, overturning the previous resolution and reducing the proportion of classical Chinese to 35% to 45%, which surprised all walks of life. For a long time, "de-Sinicization" seems to have become a "daily homework" of the DPP authorities, and it has to be "checked in" from time to time.
Meizhou Mazu went to Taiwan to give the Democratic Progressive Party a heavy blow to "go to China"
After twenty years of departure, mainland Fujian Meizhou Mazu Golden Body went to Taiwan again a few days ago and will conduct a 17-day island patrol.
27 On the morning of 27, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. Regarding the tour of the statue of Mazu in Meizhou, the spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Ma Xiaoguang, said that in order to meet the strong wishes of the majority of Mazu believers in Taiwan, at the invitation of Taiwan's Hon Hai Group, New Taipei City Banqiao Cihui Palace, and Taiwan Mazu Association, the statue of Mazu in Meizhou Temple in Fujian will be held in Taiwan for a 17-day tour from September 23 to October 9. This tour is another grand event of cross-strait folk exchanges. The tour involves ten counties and cities including Taipei, New Taipei , Keelung , Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli , Chiayi , Yunlin, Changhua, and Taichung, covering 89 palaces and temples in Taiwan, which is the most palace temples in history.
Taiwan's China Daily published an editorial pointing out that this religious ritual and belief event has nothing to do with politics, showing that religions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are passed down from generation to generation and cannot be stopped; at the same time, it proves that the cultures on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are integrated and cannot be cut.
Mazu Temple mainly worships Mazu, also known as Tianhou Palace, Tianfei Palace, Tianhou Temple, Tianhou Temple, Tianhou Temple, and Holy Mother Temple. There are nearly 2,000 Mazu Temples in Taiwan, spread all over the world, with many believers. Not only is the deepest place outside the mainland, Mazu's belief in , but also Taiwanese temples worship Mazu as the main god, accounting for 10.68% of folk beliefs, ranking second among the gods, second only to the prince, and can be called the most popular god of Taiwanese people.
The faith of Mazu was spread to Taiwan during the Ming and Zheng period, and in the Japanese occupation period, Taiwan's Mazu Temple was rarely visited on the mainland. After 1949, due to political factors, religious exchanges across the Taiwan Strait were interrupted. It was not until 1988 that the Zhenlan Palace of Dajia Mazu Temple broke the taboo for the first time, and the Mazu Temple on both sides of the Taiwan Strait began to exchange. Among them, Mazu Meizhou visited Taiwan the most and was also the most valued.
The golden body of Mazu worshipped in many places in Taiwan is mostly the spirit of Mazu, the ancestral temple of Meizhou. The most common trip to Mazu Temples from all over Taiwan to "visit ancestors" in mainland China is Meizhou. Mazu, who comes to Taiwan to visit the islands most often, is also from Meizhou. 20 years ago, Beigang Chaotian Palace welcomed the golden body of Mazu, and patrolled Taiwan for 102 days, spanning 19 counties and cities in the north and south, and staying at 35 palaces and temples. The journey is estimated to be more than 10,000 miles. Wherever you go, there are 10,000 people, and at least tens of millions of people pray for peace. Later, due to many factors, although the Mazu Temple in Taiwan still went to mainland China to pay homage to its ancestors, the Mazu in mainland China had stopped patrolling Taiwan for many years. This time, Mazu Meizhou's trip to Taiwan again is of great significance.
After the DPP returned to power, cross-strait relations deteriorated into "no ditches, no water, no flow", and the official and private coordination mechanisms were interrupted simultaneously; the DPP authorities also restricted the level of mutual visits between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, making cross-strait relations even more severe. Religious exchanges similar to Mazu's patrol in Meizhou can promote benign interaction between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The DPP is accelerating the "de-Sinicization", including history, culture and even religion, all of which are delusional in establishing a discourse with Taiwan as the main body. For example, many green camp scholars argue that Taiwan’s Mazu belief has formed a unique system, which is different from the mainland’s Mazu belief. Meizhou Mazu's visit to Taiwan for security, undoubtedly gave the Democratic Progressive Party a heavy blow to "de-Sinicization"!
Lenovo's previous remarks on the island that "Taiwanese people will be 'unified front' when they go to mainland China to worship Mazu", which is even more ridiculous.Earlier, Taiwan’s commentary article directly called it a “joke” and using political theory to analyze folk belief behavior is a mistake in itself.
As the CEO of the Kuomintang Policy Association Cai Zhengyuan once said on Facebook, Mazu is the only real historical figure in Chinese history who has been recognized as a god of ascension, and is a sea god naturally produced by the Chinese. In the past, the Japanese wanted to cut off the Mazu faith of their ancestors who went to Taiwan from mainland China, but they failed in the end. Nowadays, "Taiwan independence" elements are beginning to try to eliminate the Taiwanese people's Mazu belief. Cai Zhengyuan directly asserted that "Taiwan independence" is overestimating its abilities and may be eliminated by Mazu first, "just like destroying monsters and monsters, don't believe it and wait and see!"
"The Battle of Wenbai" is reversed again. The field of education has changed into a political battlefield
and it is said that the Tsai administration has nothing to do, only unexpected! The results of the review of the proportion of classical Chinese vernacular Chinese on the island's "2019 High School Chinese Course" were released on the 23rd. The resolution was to reduce the proportion of classical Chinese from the current account for 45% to 55% to 35% to 45%, and the recommended selections were reduced from 20 to 15, which was a major reversal compared with the resolution on the 10th of this month.
I still remember in the previous episodes of the program, we were still saying that the vote for the previous downgrade plan did not pass, which can be said to be "belated justice." Who would have thought that just when all walks of life thought that the farce of the "Wenbai Battle" finally ended and was full of praise, the matter was overturned.
The former director and famous poet Yuxian, a former director of the Taiwan Literature Museum, said bluntly that he was "very sorry" when he was interviewed by Taiwan's "Wangbao". He said, "Without the past, there is no present." He was originally relieved that the meeting decided to maintain the verbal vernacular, but he did not expect that he would be overturned in the end. He emphasized that classical Chinese is an important root for understanding culture, "The roots must be strong in order to flourish."
Taiwan's United Daily News published an article on commenting that this major turning point was actually the DPP turning the curriculum review conference into a political review conference. Pan Wenzhong, head of the education department of the Taiwan authorities, personally played the role of the promoter, turning the education field into a political fighting field. The whole process is a drama of bullying by populism and bullying through procedures.
Just imagine, earlier, Su Jiaquan, the head of a public opinion agency in Taiwan, passed the review of the "foreseeable special budget" on the grounds that "one matter is not discussed twice". If the Tsai administration believes that "one matter is not discussed" is right, then what reason will the review overturn the conclusion of the last meeting? From "anti-service trade" to "anti-curriculum", students shouted "anti-black box" to a huge price, and said "procedural justice" to be extremely sacred. Now, he is playing "black box online voting" without changing his expression. The so-called procedural justice is nothing more than to achieve one's own goals before he can give up.
Faced with voices who even demanded to step down and even step down, according to Taiwan's United Daily News, Pan Wenzhong claimed that the decline in the proportion of classical Chinese was decided by the committee after full discussion. According to Taiwan's Central News Agency, Qiu Ganguo, an official of the education department of the Taiwan authorities, responded that since the procedures have been completed, I believe that the next class review meeting will not turn around and deny the meeting minutes on the 23rd.
Taiwanese netizens criticized: "Make education like this! A blow is worse than a beat!" "Pan Wenzhong destroyed the Chinese level of a generation of students. Now many regions have added ancient Chinese to many other regions. Only Taiwan is the opposite, so he is the culprit of destroying Taiwan. Please don't mislead people's children..." "Politics pollutes pure education! Just look at the way the course review is composed (recommended by political parties)! How can we have hope in the future when education is done like this?" "Standard black box homework!" "History will remember you."
As Taiwan's United Daily News said, looking deeper, the dispute between literature and literature is just an appearance. When the DPP was in the opposition, it took the name of reform to grab votes; after taking office, what it did was to continue to "de-Sinicize" and retract and autism. How could this create a brighter future for the next generation? The history syllabus has declared "de-Sinicization". Unexpectedly, the Chinese syllabus has rebounded strongly, so it was possible to compromise on the ratio of classical Chinese and the number of recommended essays. However, on the one hand, it still started the classical Chinese essay selection war drum, and on the other hand, it established the results of vernacular essay selection.
Unfortunately, the DPP is capable of pleasing young people and is content with the votes of the new generation.It is called listening to the voice of the new generation, but it is actually to drive ignorant young people to seize the beach in the field of education; it is called encouraging young people to participate, but it is to make passionate young people become thugs in the political arena. However, the DPP did not know that there was any professionalism in its eyes, and the head of the education department of the Taiwan authorities blindly flattered politics, which made Taiwan's quality throughout the generation and its future competitiveness become a sacrifice tribute to the populist temple kitsch.
