Chinese culture is a precious cultural heritage. It not only carries 5,000 years
of long-standing history but is also the cultural heritage from previous human
civilization, or in other words, from pre-historic civilizations. Among these
very ancient aspects of Chinese culture are Taiji, Hetu, Luoshu, Zhouyi, Bagua,
and so on. The palaces of various dynasties collapsed one after another, but the
cultures remained. Even when the Central Plains were ruled by different nationalities,
what the conquerors had taken was only in the form of land and wealth. In the
end, the conquerors themselves were conquered by the Chinese culture. This is
the most unique cultural phenomenon in human history.
is called “the Divine Land.” According to an ancient story that Pangu separated
earth from heaven; Nuwa created human beings with soil; then three emperors, Yao,
Shun and Yu, came to the land, and with their extraordinary wisdom, they led the
primitive people out of the age of uncivilized ignorance. It was a time when humans
and gods coexisted and gods passed their culture to the people. The relationships
between humans and gods and between humans and nature were established, and the
respect for nature and the worship of gods were rooted in the ancient people.
Huangdi started the prologue to 5,000 years of the Chinese culture passed on by
gods. After Emperor Huangdi united the Divine Land, he established positions of
government officials and stipulated rules, and he held ceremonies to worship gods
and heaven. The whole land under heaven was in divine order. He led people to
build houses and taught people to farm crops and raise silkworms. The calendar
was established and writing was created. Emperor Huangdi observed heaven and earth
and ruled the land according to the heavenly law. He initiated the 5,000 years
of splendid Chinese civilization.
succeeded in seeking for the heavenly law. In front of hundreds of thousands of
people, he demonstrated the magnificent scene of a human being turning into a
god: He flew away into the sky in broad daylight, unfolding to the nation the
most holy scene: Gods not only created humans; humans can also obtain the heavenly
law and become gods!
520 BC), sages came to the chaotic world. Under Hangu Pass, Lao Zi left behind
the book “Dao De Jing” for the people. The book revealed the mystery of cultivating
the “Dao” [Heavenly Law], and its eternal light of truth became the a root
of Chinese culture and wisdom, planting seeds for human beings to return to the
“Dao.” From it, a comprehensive and systematic understanding of life, of the human
body and the universe was developed: Humans come from heaven, and thus should
return to heaven; the culture of cultivation was thus established and passed on
since then.
he went through all kinds of frustration and hardship. With “benevolence, righteousness,
ceremony, wisdom, trustworthiness” he established the ethical relations that should
exist between the individual and other people, and between the individual and
society. The Confucian culture became the Chinese orthodox culture. Afterward,
Buddhism was introduced in the western region and then spread to the Central Plains;
the Buddha-light illuminated everywhere and all living beings respected Buddha.
Cultivating Buddhahood became popular. Even though Buddhism was lost in India,
where it had originated, it took root and was carried forward in the land of the
Central Plains.
three major orthodox religious systems of China, and the foundation of China's
traditional culture. One by one, they presented brilliant cultural epics one scene
after another for humanity. Although dynasties changed unceasingly, the culture
continues with its indomitable vitality.
Party's “atheism” and Chinese traditional culture are as incompatible as
fire and water
declared without any scruples, “There will never be a Savior and we do not depend
on gods and emperors. To create humanity's happiness, we depend entirely
on ourselves.” In other words, it wanted to completely destroy people's belief
in gods, a belief that has been passed on for thousands of years, whether in the
eastern civilization or the western civilization. It wanted to discard gods and
to let the specter of Communism control the people, and to “completely break down
the old world” with violent revolution. The people who abandoned their belief,
their traditional ethics and morals, under the instigation of communism, would
indulge in the wicked side of their nature and to do whatever they like.
traditional culture pays attention to where a life will finally go and reveres
gods. It pays attention to “the shore on another side,” or “the next life.” The
Communist evil specter, on the other hand, wants people to believe only in the
present life, to deny the law of cause and effect and retribution, and to only
pursue gains in the material world, using whatever means and at whatever cost.
Reversing good and evil, the Communist evil spirit was completely incompatible
with Chinese traditional culture. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was thereby
destined to completely eradicate China's traditional culture by means of
continuous violence and brainwashing, and by totally repudiating, strangling,
cutting up, distorting, misinterpreting and replacing China's traditional
culture, in order to reach its goal of power and complete control.
How the CCP completely destroyed China's traditional culture
Systematic destruction of the Chinese traditional culture with atheism
known as Mao Tse Tung) published the Speech at the Yan'an Forum on
Literature and Arts, stating, “A basic view of Marxism is that existence determines
ideology, which means the reality of class struggle and national struggle determines
our thinking and feelings. … Studying Marxism requires us to observe the world,
the society, literature and arts from the dialectic materialistic and historic
materialistic points of view.” These statements announced that atheism should
replace the traditional theism because traditional, “literature and arts were
the landlord class' literature and were feudalistic arts; they were the same
as literature and arts of the ruling class in the feudalistic period… The new
Chinese culture is the anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism culture by the masses
of the people under the leadership of the proletariat class.” The traditional
culture was thus labeled “feudalism” and “ruling class,” and only the culture
under the leadership of the CCP is the “new culture.” What should people do? “Literature
is subordinate to politics, and could also greatly impact politics,” and therefore
all aspects of culture should serve the Communist Party's politics at any
time, being directed by the specter of the CCP.
of this speech, the notorious “Rectification in Yan'an” started, which was
the first round of brutal persecution against the intellectuals in Yan'an.
The intellectuals were forced to “criticize” themselves and each other. Since
then, unscrupulous “proletariats” have occupied the cultural stage in China.
the CCP gained control over the country, successive political movements completely
destroyed the traditional culture; intellectuals were purged during every single
movement. During the “Anti-Rightists” movement in 1957, more than 550,000 intellectuals
lost their freedom. Next, the Cultural Revolution further destroyed any leftover
tradition; at the same time, the mass execution of intellectuals made everyone
frightened and no one dared to even mention traditional culture.
belief has been that as long as the traditional culture exists one more day, it
is a threat to the CCP's “atheism.” Therefore, the CCP is determined to sever
people's connection to any traditional culture. Through its repeated means
of killing, imprisonment, controlling, criticizing and punishment, and the CCP
has punished various groups of people as a warning to others, forcing the frightened
intellectuals to fight against each other and to run themselves down. As a result,
scholars in Confucianism started to criticize Confucius and experts in Taoism
started to attack Lao Zi, and they distorted the original implications of the
Chinese traditional culture according to the needs of the CCP. The traditional
culture thus became worthless, slapped with the labels of “reactionary,” “feudalistic”
and “superstitious.” In CCP-controlled China, “culture” and “knowledge” became
criminal, a situation that had never happened in Chinese history before.
Zedong said, “The legends of three Holy Emperors cheated all the people.” Countless
legendary stories about gods and cultivation in the 5,000 years of Chinese history
were completely denied within the short period of several decades under the CCP's
bloody control, forcing people to accept its evil ideology and brainwashing.
is about continuously exploring the unknown and constantly re-thinking and renewing
conclusions. The great scientists, Newton and Einstein, were true believers in
God. I was educated in China from elementary school through graduate school and
have a Masters Degree. After many years of training under the so-called Chinese
style “scientific” education, I thought I had a complete understanding of the
“truth” of humanity. Only after I arrived in the US did I begin to realize how
foolish and biased I was. For many years, scientists have been studying the relationship
between mind and matter. In many new areas such as near-death-experiences, reincarnation,
outer space intelligence and multi-dimensional space, scientists have made great
breakthroughs. New sciences or real sciences are being discovered and established.
I personally have met many accomplished scientists, from academic members to Nobel
Medical Prize nominees. Many of them are devoted Christians. It dawned on me that
science is just a tool for them to understand the world. It is by no means the
absolute and the only truth, nor is it a belief system. To some people, science
is just a hobby or a job.
a weapon that destroyed 5,000 years of traditional culture. By the CCP's
invention, the Chinese Communist “sciences” could even completely go against any
scientific principles if necessary. There is no need to respect the scientific
facts. In their dictionary, science must obey politics. The CCP can use science
to serve its political agenda.
would claim highly exaggerated grain outputs (over 5,000 kg / mu that is over
21700 lb/acre) as fact. They even used some scientific terminology such as “photosynthesis”
to fool people. When the CCP said the Chinese culture was superstition, some scientists
would write articles to echo the lies. When the CCP criticized the “theory of
genetics” as “ideologist,” the geneticists became “anti-revolutionists” or “spies.”
The next day when the CCP found it necessary to change their position, these geneticists
would be retrieved back from oblivion and became “famous scientists.” Some of
these scientists even became CCP accomplices during the persecution of Falun Gong,
by labeling Falun Gong as “anti-science.”
for several decades, the CCP has been promoting some controversial theories as
the truth. They use these theories to brainwash people, including highly educated
people. Their purpose is to denounce Chinese traditional culture. The CCP has
employed many “political scientists” who are loyal to the CCP. He Zuoxiu, a member
of the Chinese Science Academy with no scientific achievement, is one of them.
These people have become the CCP's weapon to persecute people. They are degenerated
beings in the scientific sector, yet they are still helping the CCP in the name
of “science” to defame Chinese culture and bring a bad name to science. As for
the real scientists who don't agree with them, they attack and isolate them.
The famous hydro-power plant expert Huang Wanli was suppressed and attacked during
his entire career because he opposed building a dam on the Yangtze River.
the long-term influence of the CCP's “science” education by the totalitarian
regime, many people have become narrow-minded and hold extreme views. Especially
some intellectuals who possess some rough scientific knowledge (even outdated
knowledge from the 1950's) and who franticly worship “science” in the name
of promoting science, they repeatedly criticize China's traditional culture.
They claim the societal ignorance and backward economic system is due to lack
of scientific development, not due to the CCP's brutal suppression. Before
the 1990's, few parents in China encouraged their children to study social
science in college, especially China's traditional culture, such as ancient
Chinese language and Chinese philosophy, etc.
Chinese traditional culture
nurtured the Chinese civilization. The CCP realized that it could not completely
break with tradition and take full control of people's ideology in a short
time. This was especially so for the historical stories and legends that exemplify
good and evil, and the beautiful poems that were passed down through the generations
in families or through folk art by word of mouth. Even if the CCP were to kill
all educated people, it still couldn't terminate all the traditional culture.
Therefore, the CCP came up with an evil scheme; they changed the history books
by injecting atheistic notions into the traditional culture. Since 1949, one could
find the books that annotated Tang Dynasty poems, always portrayed them in the
most negative way. The most essential parts of the poems are described as “hypocritical,
vicious and combative.” Expressions such as “unsatisfactory about the dark reality,”
“outcry,” “passive,” “painful,” “superstition” and “old society” were overly used
in the annotation books. Many poets were Buddhist or Taoist cultivators, and their
poems were their own observation and understanding of the universe and life. They
wrote down their own enlightenment during cultivation in poetry. They are the
essence of our culture. These poems, in the eyes of the CCP, become “romanticism,”
“fantasy” and “feudalism.” Classic novels are twisted with atheist and materialistic
view-points.
concepts such as “class struggle,” “exploitation” and “old society.” Historical
background in all periods is always “dark reality.” People who lived in the old
time are “miserable beyond their means.” This has been the consistent message
that the CCP has sent to Chinese people in their “conditional learning with criticism.”
They used labels of the CCP culture in their explanation of all classic works
and marked them with their views of materialist dialectics. All of this adversely
influenced the minds of the younger generations.
systematically destroyed over the past 50 years: burning books, destroying religious
scriptures, censorship and simplifying the traditional Chinese characters [calligraphy,
writing]. Their purpose is to make people completely forget their true history
and their true culture heritage. The simplification of traditional Chinese characters
was to completely sever people's connection with the traditional culture,
so that people can no longer read the books of their ancestors.
The truly dark period after the destruction of the traditional culture
the history of China. This leaves people with the misunderstanding that all of
China's past was feudal, corrupt and backward.
a period claimed by the CCP to be the most corrupt time in Chinese history, China's
GDP [Gross Domestic Product] was No. 1 in the world, and was about one third of
the world's overall GDP. In the early years of the Republic of China established
by Sun Yat-Sen [in 1911], China's GDP was 27% of the world's total.
In 1922, China's GDP still amounted to 12% of the world's total. When
the CCP took the power, since it inherited some economic base, China's GDP
was 5.7% of the world's total. Yet last year it was reduced to 2.1%. Therefore,
the current China under the rule of the CCP, is truly a poor and backward country.
The time period when China has been under the CCP's rule is the darkest period
in Chinese history. The number of unnatural deaths alone has surpassed 80 million.
due to the CCP's destruction, eradication, degeneration and distortion of
the traditional culture, and the long-term brainwashing, the Chinese people have
no way to know the true facts about traditional culture. In the 1980s, a “Chinese
culture reflection movement” began in China. However, it could not truly reflect
on the CCP's crimes. Instead, the movement blamed the traditional Chinese
culture for the national disasters and regression that were actually caused by
the dark despotic and the evil spirit possession of the CCP. It labeled traditional
Chinese culture as being “congenitally deficient” and blamed it for the nation's
decline, a decline that was caused by the CCP's persecution of that very
culture. Even amid painful thinking, people are still unable to jump out of the
thinking mode, logic and ideas the CCP has imposed on their minds during the complete
destruction of the Chinese culture. They think that China's reformation depends
on abandoning the Chinese traditional culture. In fact, what really needs to be
abandoned is the CCP itself.
enormous abundance in material wealth; the Western democratic elections have also
effectively restrained despotism and corruption of power. Nevertheless, the failure
of “Science” and “Democracy” to prosper in China is exactly not due to the Chinese
traditional culture but due to the evil and unscrupulous nature of the CCP. This
is clear at a glance if comparing the situations in Taiwan and South Korea. In
addition, didn't all the countries ruled by the Communist party before the
Cold War adopt democratic elections after the Communist party collapsed? Therefore,
there is no inevitable relation between the Chinese traditional culture and despotism.
movies that demonstrate the ignorance and gloominess of China have won international
awards. This has misled many, especially the younger generation, to think that
these movies represent traditional Chinese culture. Actually, that is the exact
manifestation of people abandoning the tradition, and instead portraying barbarianism,
cold-bloodedness, moral degeneration, and a gloomy mentality.
the 1990s, money has become the top priority. The CCP still applies tyrannical
methods towards intellectuals who have a conscience. While depriving the interests
of disadvantaged groups, the CCP in the meantime steps up the buying of the intellectual
circle. The social morals slide down comprehensively, and the corruption of the
intellectuals synchronizes with the society's corruption. In the Falun Gong
issue, the Chinese intellectual society's general degeneration testifies
to the CCP's destruction of Chinese intellectuals' spirit and conscience
over the past 50 years– they are cowardly, astute and shameless, ignorant to
traditional culture, narrow-minded and lacking courage, and indifferent to others'
lives. These characteristics show incisively and vividly in yet another nationwide
public opinion “denouncing” movement, only that this time it's cooperation
on their own initiative.
culture has brought grave disaster to the Chinese nation and people. Formerly
a nation of etiquette, China has become a hoodlum's country – morality degenerates,
cheating becomes natural, and people stop at no evil for money. Under the rule
of the CCP, China's ecological environment and natural resources are in great
danger, and there are frequent disasters everywhere. The distorted human nature
and inflated desires, with the CCP adding fuel to the flames, makes the social
system on the verge of collapse. People with insight have been using all means
to warn people. The only way of saving oneself is to thoroughly discard the CCP.
It is “anti-humanity,” “anti-universe” and “anti-human nature.” We must eliminate
its poison, rediscover the righteous belief in gods from the Chinese traditional
culture, get rid of the CCP evil spirit's control, and move toward the light.
