Ma Ta Fu Zhi, New Chapter at the Beginning of the Year. From Helsinki, the capital of Finland covered in ice and snow, to Cape Town, South Africa blooming with summer flowers, to Vientiane, the capital of Laos lush with greenery... Exciting Spring Festival celebrations are unfolding around the world. The Spring Festival has become a truly international event, "commented an article in the American magazine" Around the World ". The Spring Festival has increasingly become a global holiday, a cultural feast shared by the world, and a treasure of intangible cultural heritage spanning mountains and seas. It not only allows people from all countries to feel the essence and charm of Chinese culture in the festive atmosphere, but also becomes a bridge that tightly connects China and the world, reflecting the brilliant chapter of cultural exchange and mutual learning. Ji "Yue" celebrates the Spring Festival globally. Through sharing and celebration, people from all over the world come together to enjoy the exquisite Chinese cultural feast and feel happiness and joy. In front of us, 'China Red' lights up the world landmark. From the Empire State Building in New York, USA in the northern hemisphere, the Winter Palace Bridge over the Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia, the giant London Ferris wheel "London Eye" in the UK, the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, to the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the Women's Bridge in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the southern hemisphere... Landmark buildings in many countries are all adorned with beautiful "red makeup" to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Horse. In the palm of my hand, the "Happy Horse" has been featured on stamps of various countries. Fiji and China jointly issue stamps for the Year of the Horse, with the galloping jade horse complementing Fiji's national bird, the green collared parrot, and the national flower, the Water House Maiden; The Year of the Horse stamp issued by Malta cleverly integrates the traditional Chinese silk "luo" element with the Maltese "lace" craftsmanship concept; For the 22nd consecutive year, the French Postal Group has issued Spring Festival zodiac stamps, with the words "Year of the Horse" written in both Chinese and French on the face... Many countries have issued new Year of the Horse stamps, integrating cultural meanings from different countries. On stage, Chinese intangible cultural heritage performances amazed the world. On the banks of the Danube River, the face changing and "spitting fire" techniques of Sichuan opera amazed the Hungarian people; At Kulo Island High School in Helsinki, Finland, students experience shadow puppetry performances under professional guidance; In the "Spring Festival Market" in Cairo, Egypt, the Paper Cuttings and calligraphy art exhibition integrating Chinese and Arab elements attracted local people to stop. By my ears, the voice of China is playing in various countries. In Jakarta, Indonesia, the Chinese ethnic musical instrument Maguhu encountered the unique Indonesian music of Gamelan, and Chinese and Indonesian performers performed together the song "Mountain Songs Like Spring River Water"; In The Hague, Netherlands, the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra performed "A Good Night" and "In the Mood for Love" with violin concertos, allowing Eastern rhythms to flow naturally in the context of Western art; At the National Theatre in Havana, Cuba, Chinese folk music is integrated into the work "Carmen Cuba", and local ballet dancers bloom and stretch. People from all over the world feel "becoming a Chinese" when experiencing the folk customs of Chinese Spring Festival, and the credible, lovely and respectable Chinese image is lifelike in the Spring Festival cultural feast. The Spring Festival celebration has entered more and more countries, vividly demonstrating the increasing influence of China, an ancient civilization, in today's world. The meaning of the Spring Festival has surpassed geographical boundaries and become a global cultural symbol, "said an article in the Pakistan Observer. Hua "Leap" is forging ahead in the future, sharing and celebrating together. People are jumping into the rapidly changing wave of China's technological development, embracing vitality and the future. Taking off his VR glasses, Amir Majali, a resident of Amman, the capital of Jordan, remains excited. "China's Terra Cotta Warriors are right in front of me, and the magnificent array seems to let me travel through the ancient times, which is amazing!" The VR experience project of Chinese culture and tourism has become the focus of this year's "Happy Spring Festival" activity in Amman. Jordanians lined up to experience immersive virtual reality technology, stood in the Terra Cotta Warriors pit, walked around the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, touched the Dunhuang Flying Murals, and praised China's brilliant culture. Modern technological innovation is integrated into the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Edition" Spring Festival 2.0. The Spring Festival customs are not only a gathering of traditional Chinese culture, but also a collection of modern technological innovations, and they bring vitality and vigor to the interaction with the world. The "Made in China" robot entered the United Nations headquarters in New York for the first time, waving and expressing blessings with guests, interacting with each other, and dancing passionately during the Chinese New Year celebration. AI intelligent person "Fubao" crosses the "data mountain and sea" and appears on the stage of the "Youth Good Partner" global cross-border Spring Festival Gala Vietnam branch. Holographic digital display technology offers cool gameplay for visitors to Diageo Park in Sydney, Australia, embarking on an immersive journey of Chinese culture. At the Champs - É lys é es in Paris, a robot performance brought by China Technology and its French agency group took the lead in the "Happy Spring Festival in Paris - Dragon and Lion New Year Dance Fragrance Street" parade, alongside traditional Chinese cultural symbols such as dragon and lion dances. The CEO of the group, Stefana Bobo, said that showcasing innovative technologies from China during the Spring Festival celebration is a "rare opportunity" for himself and also shows the world that the Spring Festival is "not only a traditional festival full of long history, but also facing the future". On the fast moving China Laos railway train, artists from China and Laos welcome the New Year together with folk songs and dances; The waiting hall of Halim Station on the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway in Indonesia has been transformed into a stage, where actors and passengers from Guangxi, China, interact enthusiastically and stage a flash mob called "Happy Immediately"; Kenya's Mombasa Nairobi Railway employees joined forces with the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi to hold a Spring Festival garden party, where Kenyan and Kenyan employees made dumplings and learned calligraphy together... Driven by technology, Sino foreign cooperation has become even more vigorous in the new year. In my understanding, horses in China are the embodiment of strength and speed, with the meaning of forging ahead. In Brazil, horses also symbolize the spirit of hard work and perseverance. ”Wagner Dantas, the host of the Spring Festival celebration at the BYD Brazil Camasari factory park and a senior executive employee from Brazil, told reporters, "In the new year, we will work together towards a better future." Through sharing and celebration, people across cultural differences and value resonance, promote the integration of civilizations, and unite and work together. From the "Chinese Year" to the "World Year", the Spring Festival has become a vivid interpretation of "civilization is colorful through exchange, and civilization is enriched through mutual learning". Horse, in Chinese culture, is a symbol of strength and self-improvement, indicating a stable and prosperous future. The rich and profound spirit of galloping horses inspires the common dreams and pursuits of people around the world. Happy Spring Festival! ”UN Secretary General Guterres extended Chinese New Year greetings in a video message. He said that the Chinese zodiac horse symbolizes energy, success, and courage to move forward. The world urgently needs these qualities to face multiple challenges such as conflict, inequality, and climate crisis. Only by working together can we build a safer and more inclusive future. The Spring Festival embodies the beautiful hope of renewal, allowing people to feel the warmth and resilience of Chinese wisdom and strength. Kazakhstan's Deputy Minister of Culture and Information, Sydekov, said that the Spring Festival is a festival that brings together family and generational emotions, embodies the traditional spirit of respect, harmony, and pursuit of prosperity, and is closely related to the beautiful wishes of people from all countries. The comment article on the German "China Platform" website points out that as a common cultural heritage of all mankind, the values of harmonious coexistence, family reunion, social inclusiveness, and ecological wisdom embodied in the Spring Festival have been recognized by the international community. The celebration of the World Year also conveys the concept of harmonious coexistence and mutual learning of civilizations, turning into a gentle stream to nourish people's hearts. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Youssef, said that the values of new life and hope conveyed by the Spring Festival are also deeply rooted in Africa, and this cultural connection has enhanced mutual understanding and deepened friendship between the African and Chinese peoples. In the view of Yousef Badr Mishari, Director of the Cultural and Civilization Dialogue Department of the Secretariat of the League of Arab States, cultural exchange can eliminate barriers, and the Spring Festival celebration is not only a New Year's celebration, but also a microcosm of the deep dialogue between the two civilizations of Arab and Chinese. In recent years, the Spring Festival has been increasingly known and loved by more and more people around the world. The cultural connotations of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, mutual love, happy reunion, inclusiveness and harmony contained in the Spring Festival endow this festival with unique global appeal. In today's challenging world, the concept of harmony represented by the Spring Festival is even more precious and profound. ”At the celebration of the Spring Festival between the "oil people" of Iraq and East Pakistan oil fields, at the moment when couplets were posted and lanterns were hung, Iraqi engineer Mustafa Mohammed exclaimed.
