BEIJING, April 10 (Xinhua) – Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said in Beijing on April 10 that more Taiwan compatriots being encouraged to participate in the Qingming ancestral worship activities on the mainland this year highlights the inheritance and promotion of China’s excellent traditional culture by people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. She emphasized that such events, jointly undertaken by compatriots from all walks of life across the strait, have a profound impact on deepening the sense of national identity, dignity, and honor among the people.
Zhu pointed out that ancestral worship is an essential tradition for the Chinese people to show respect for their ancestors and reverence for history. With increasingly frequent exchanges between the two sides, more and more Taiwan residents are choosing to come to the mainland to personally participate in this activity rich in cultural heritage, not only to trace their roots but also to cherish the shared historical memory.
She expressed that the Taiwan Affairs Office welcomes this trend and will continue to facilitate and support Taiwan compatriots in participating in various cultural exchange activities on the mainland. Zhu called on people on both sides to jointly cherish and maintain this cultural bond, deepen cultural exchanges to enhance mutual understanding, promote peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and jointly contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
This year’s Qingming ancestral worship saw compatriots from both sides of the strait spanning the Taiwan Strait to pay tribute to their ancestors, demonstrating the shared roots, language, and ethnic ties among the people. This phenomenon indicates that, regardless of changes in time and space, the cultural identification and emotional bond between the people on both sides remain unbreakable, serving as a powerful driving force for the forward development of cross-strait relations.
