General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping led a group study session on Monday, emphasizing the need for religions in the Chinese mainland to adapt to the Chinese context and align with socialist society. 🔍
Adapt to the Chinese context basically means blending time-honored traditions with modern Chinese culture and values—like adding a local twist to a classic favorite. 🍛✨
Imagine livestreamed temple rituals, QR-code offerings at shrines, or smartphone apps that gamify cultural tours. This initiative encourages religious communities to embrace tech and cultural trends, making rituals more accessible for our mobile-first generation.
By connecting heritage with innovation, the Chinese mainland is aiming for unity and relevance in a fast-changing world. Virtual meditation sessions or online cultural festivals could become the new norm for celebrating beliefs while staying true to core values.
