Everyone is polite, Every family has filial piety-The Second Cross-Strait Cultural Exchange崇仁新聞

Filial piety is the cornerstone of Chinese culture. A loving relationship between parent and child is the core of all healthy relationships.

The Chinese Filial Piety Culture Promotion Association held a concert at the Great Hall of Xiamen on September 27, 2014 as a cross-strait cultural exchange to encourage the universal practice of filial piety. There were more than 90 government officials from Taiwan, Beijing, and Fujian in attendance.


There were performances put on by the Chong De choir from Taiwan, the Jinmen University Chong De youth Club, the Xiamen City Opera Center, the Little Egret Folk Dance Art Center, and Xiamen City’s Little Flying Heron Art Center.
During the program, the performance content focused on Chinese traditional culture, filial reverence, and literacy promotion. About 1500 concert goers came to learn more about filial piety through the modern arts.

The program started with a performance by students from Xiamen and Fujian Classical Chinese Recitation programs. As they recited the Bai Xiao Sutra and other classical literature, it felt as if time was transcended and DaTong had arrived on the Earth.

The secretary of the Association for Cross-Strait Relations, General Liu Chang Yang said, “This is a moment for the purification of the heart through the power of the soul.”He even greeted friends and relatives from Taiwan faithfully. In his talk, he quoted the words from the General secretary Xi Jinping, Excellent traditional culture is the fundamental part of a national heritage and development of a country. If we lose it, it would sever the lifeline of a country. In this way, he affirmed the practice of these cultural exchange activities.

The chairman of the Association for the Promotion of Filial Piety Han Wan Nian said that we can see fruits of the classical literature programs already. For a child to develop the right personality, he or she must have the right family life. We must use the wisdom of our ancestors – that has been inscribed in this literature – in order to make the world a better place.

The Chong Ren Choir – which was founded by the compassionate and merciful Miss Chen HongZhen – performed more than ten different songs, each of a unique style and theme. They even performed a Taiwanese folk song for the Xiamen audience. Members of the Jinmen University Chong De Youth Club joined the performance acting out scenes to demonstrate the importance of Filial Piety, with a touching photo of a baby goat kneeling in front of its mother in the background.

Pipa Prince Huang Jun Hao performed two wonderful solos: “The Sound of Rain” and “South of the Chang Jiang River.”The Xiamen Opera Center performed the Sung and Yuan Dynasty classic, the ballad of Lu Wenlong – who broke his arm taking a thief as his dad. Young dancers from the Little Flying Heron Art Center performed two songs: “The Inch of Grass”and“Blooming Flowers and a Full Moon”. The Little Egret Folk Dance Art Center entertained the audience with a funny dance, showing the various gestures of a father .

The cultural exchange activity came to an end in a warm and extravagant way. With gratitude, everyone bid farewell.

Fake of the Kingdom
Artist Sung Dong-hun is nicknamed Don Quixote due to his eccentric
personality and artistry. He held a domestic exhibition after 6 years,
tempting audiences with his sculptures ranging from scrap metal to
traditional ceramics. Sung criticizes reality and depicts the inner conflicts of
humans through his artworks. For instance, The White Kingdom is made
of iron, one of the materials that changed history, and also white and blue
porcelain. It signifies healing and consolation from nature, and also
displays the striking contrast between nature and civilization as well as
tradition and modernity. Meanwhile, The Fake Kingdom of Rhinoceros is
created with a lump of iron from a blast furnace, white and blue porcelains
and the wreckage of a crashed plane. Sung′s use of seemingly improper
materials and shapes definitely catches the eye, and he will continue to
tackle various challenges his with free-spirited artistry, just like Don
Quixote, who only goes forwards.

The 2015 Ballet Festival Korea
The Ballet Festival Korea is an annual festival that promotes ballet in
Korea. The festival first hit town in 2011 with the hope of bringing ballet
closer to the general public as well as expanding the realm of Korean
ballet. This year′s edition was decorated with many internationally
renowned ballet companies, including SEO Ballet Company and Wise Ballet
Theater. A Table by SEO Ballet Company compares the endless greed of
human beings with hunger, the most basic instinct. Also, Once Upon a
Time in Ballet by Wise Ballet Theater, with its motif from Romeo and
Juliet, created a new genre called balletcal, which combines ballet with
tap dance and musicals. Being aware of the fact that the trends and taste
of popular culture keep changing, both the festival and participants make
various straightforward, trendy movements to attract today′s rapidly
changing and fast-paced generation, making ballet more accessible and
enjoyable.
