Cultural confidence is the most basic, profound and lasting force in the development of a country and a nation.Chinese traditional festivals are usually rooted in the farming civilization of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. In the long-term development, they have formed a unique expression and cultural connotation, which can reflect our people’s yearning and pursuit for a better life.This is an important part of the excellent Chinese traditional culture and an important way to enhance national cohesion.After the competition, all the students expressed a deeper understanding of the historical origin and cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival.At the same time, this form of activity can also further spread Chinese traditional culture, improve students’ self-literacy, enrich everyone’s cultural life after studying, and constantly transmit positive energy.

Under the background of extensive global cultural exchanges, QMES will further play the leading role of Party building, continue to guide students to tell the stories of NPU and China, actively spread the excellent Chinese traditional culture, and continuously improve the effectiveness of Ideological and Political Education.
