Taiwan media said, "All political consciousness will not be natural." Yang Du, a writer of literature and history and former secretary-general of the Taiwan Cultural Association, pointed out that no matter the writers of the Japanese era in the past, or even young people nowadays, they have never had any problem of identifying with Chinese culture, and all differences are "political."
According to Taiwan's China Times on April 26, Yang Du took Wu Xinrong, one of the representatives of Tainan's "Salt Zone" literary group, as an example. "On August 15, 1945, when the Japanese Emperor announced his surrender, Wu Xinrong inquired from a senior Japanese spy agent: Will Japan really surrender?" When he learned that "whoever listened to the emperor the most must surrender quietly", he returned home and immediately took off the Shinto sign and put the ancestral tablet back on, and was glad that Taiwan was liberation. "It can be seen from this that no matter what political system is under, political consciousness is not a natural product!" Yang Du said.
reported that in terms of the current folk culture in Taiwan, Yang Du also believes that there is no ambiguity about Chinese culture. "Like Mazu around the world, like Zheng Chenggong Temple in Taiwan, even if the 'Taiwan independence faction' regards Zheng Chenggong as an 'invader', it cannot eliminate the fact that he has hundreds of temples in Taiwan, and has his own historical and faith status." He also pointed out that most temples in Taiwan include Shennong, Taishang Laojun , Guan Sheng Emperor... These values and beliefs that penetrate into the people will not change at all because of the formation of division of political issues between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in 1949, and it can be confirmed that "unification and independence are political issues, not naturally generated by the people."
reported that Yang Du was not pessimistic about the cultural integration between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He took the "Chinese Dictionary" compiled by hundreds of scholars and experts in the 2010 period as an example. "When the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were first collected and sorted out different words, different words accounted for 15%. By the end of 2015, it was found that different words had dropped to 7.5%"; Yang Du said that at the beginning, Taiwan's election terms such as "sweeping the streets" and "praising votes" were very unfamiliar to the mainland. In six years, both sides of the Taiwan Strait had actually become familiar with the terms "sweeping the streets" and "praising the vote".
"The differences in languages have been greatly reduced through communication among the Internet generation. As the social development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait gradually approaches and the common modernization process, the gap between folk culture will become less and less." Yang Du believes that despite the different political systems, folk culture, especially contemporary youth, communicates rapidly through the Internet, and the degree of cultural integration is now "higher than in the past". From the macro and long-term timelines, he believes that the cultures of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will gradually become integrated after the division and governance.
On April 14, 2017, Mazu believers from Taoyuan, Taiwan went to Meizhou Mazu Temple to visit the ancestors and enjoy incense. Since the third month of the lunar calendar in 2017, believers from many places in Taiwan have come to Mazu's hometown to visit their ancestors and incense to pray for peace between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
