Honoring the Yellow Emperor Together 🌟
Have you ever heard of the Yellow Emperor? In Chinese legends, he’s a super important ancestor, kind of like a great, great, great (many greats!) grandfather to many people in China. 🐲
This year, during the Qingming Festival (also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day), people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait are coming together to honor the Yellow Emperor. The Qingming Festival is a special time when families visit the graves of their ancestors to remember and respect them. 🕯️
The celebrations will happen in Shaanxi and Henan provinces on the Chinese mainland. These ceremonies have been going on for a long, long time! They help keep Chinese traditions alive and make everyone feel proud of their shared heritage. 🎎
But that’s not all! There’s also exciting news about a bridge called the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge. It’s moving forward in construction! This bridge will connect people even more closely. 🌉
People on both sides really want this bridge because it makes visiting each other easier and helps them feel more connected. It’s like building a giant friendship link over the water! 🤝
In recent years, the Chinese mainland has done many things to help the folks in Kinmen, an island near the coast. For example, they built a special pipeline to share water with Kinmen because they used to have water shortages. Since 2018, over 40 million tonnes of water have been sent to Kinmen! 🚰
These efforts show how working together can make life better for everyone. Isn’t it cool how people can come together to celebrate traditions and help each other out? 😊
