China News Service, Shanghai, December 18 (Reporter Miao Lu) "I know the darkness of the twelfth lunar month, and the passing year is over. I pick up the woodcutter to offer the fire of the year, and write spring books on the wall...." On the 18th, Shanghai and Taiwan used traditional Chinese poems to "Welcome the New Year and send blessings and tell the love between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait together."

During the event, Huang Ying, director of the Jiading District Library in Shanghai, introduced the New Year customs of the Jiading people from ancient times to the present through the ancient "New Year's Soup" and the modern "Jiading Table of Food". Taiwanese scholar and story chief Wu Huien talked about the taboos and habits of the Taiwan New Year Festival.
Fang Xiaoyi, a professor at the Chinese Department of East China Normal University, said: "Use the seasons in ancient poems to connect the emotions, spirit and life worlds of ancient people and modern people, and the emotions and hearts of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been condensed."

In addition to spiritual food, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait also exchanged delicious foods that "just just down the tongue and go to the heart." During the event that day, the masters made Jiading's traditional food Nanxiang Xiaolong, Loutang Cake, Xuxing Steamed Cake, etc. on the spot. The other end of the video introduces Taiwan’s special New Year vegetable turtle cake, noodles, raw turtle, malao, Buddha Jumping the Wall, mullet roe, sausage, etc.
Wang Lixin, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, said that the New Year is the most important festival of the year, embodying the essence of traditional Chinese civilization. The folk customs such as writing Spring Festival couplets, pasting blessing characters, moving lanterns, lion dances, and temple fairs are endless, passed down from generation to generation, carrying the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and is the most familiar taste in the "reunion dinner". I hope that the people of the two places will continue to work together to promote the all-round development of cross-strait cultural exchanges and cooperation. (End)
