While January 1st is celebrated as the New Year around the world according to the Christian calendar, China, which has a 5000-year-old civilization, has finally managed to list the Spring Festival as a United Nations day. In practice, while Western religion prevails, cultural customs in China are determined according to the lunar calendar.Chinese New Year usually falls around January or February. For example, in 2024, February 10th is the beginning of the Chinese Dragon Year.A fictional animal 'dragon' is a manglik creature of China. Among the 12 zodiac signs of the lunar calendar, the dragon carries the symbol of good fortune and good luck. Analysts believe that China is trying to unleash its miracle by shaking in all directions, like a dragon with the ability to break through the sky to sink into the sea.In the world calendar dominated by Western festivals, the Asian power house has now got a place in Chinese New Year, 'Chun Chye' in Chinese, 'Spring Festival' in English and Spring Festival in Nepali.On December 22, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly unanimously passed the resolution to adopt the Lunar New Year as a day, and Chinese 'soft power' has just exploded.

Hello old friends. are you there? anybody active here ?

(Hello friends, long time no see!after a long gap,  i am trying to come back here in CD plateform, i don't know either its working or not, lets have a try. i wanna introduce a manument called White pagoda in Beijing ) The Swetchaitya (White Pagoda), built by Nepali artist Araniko, is in the heart of Beijing. The construction of Emperor Kublai Khan started in 1271 and was completed in 1279. When this property was built, it was a unique ‘pagoda tower’ for the Chinese. The 51-meter-high White Pagoda became popular due to its ancient Tibetan style.For almost 8 centuries, this heritage has stood as a symbol of Nepal-China friendship and witness of friendship. It has been renovated many times since it became old. During the Ming Dynasty, the White Pagoda was restored five times. The White Pagoda has been renovated for the last time and made public in a new form.After the founding of the New China (People’s Republic) in 1949, the significance of this heritage increased. It was saved from being damaged during the Cultural Revolution in China. China has also given high importance to this heritage as a bridge of close friendship between China and Nepal.Nepalis get free access to this architectural fund, which seems to be tied to the friendship between China and Nepal. Heads of state and government visiting Nepal from China have also been visiting this heritage site.Pls, open the link to watch a video, waiting your valuable comments, thank you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXGPuQcrgnU&t=7s

I've been pondering over my name and fame that why I am not being such a popular personality since 15 years I've been soaring my voice around the surround. I have written a lot of news stories about social and unsocial issues and raised my voice throughout radio media. 15 years is not a few day to be counted. I suppose some people may know me but that might be just for a while. I have seen some journalists who have been joining the battlefield at the same time, they have been noticed by many but why not me? Honesty is the best policy, I have followed the slogan during my career, till now its being my sticking agenda. wherever you go, honesty makes you a noticeable at that time but not for long lasting. may be one day that will be evaluated by the history. In the materialistic world you cannot judged by with your inner honesty. must be a showoff. I have realized it but its very unusual to me to get rid of it. Finally, I have significantly felt that if you follow immoral way, you could be a star in this crowd. but at last you will be defamed. you could have a naked walk if you are a attention seeker, for a while, you might be targeted by the public. but remember that it would just be a temporary ridicule. At least, misdeed may lead a person to the progress, at least many desirable things may be obtained, at least you could be victorious over your rivals too but finally you have to face totally destruction.

The world cup football is drawing the entire world's attention. we can see many interesting events and records have been being around the world. i have been here in Beijing since 2012 but this time feeling almost a silent China ..Are Chinese not paying attention towards football or my analysis is wrong? Even not met/interacted any football team supporters too...its disgusting for me

Hi, Dear blog friends, Happy Christmas to you All.Cheers!!

Happy Chinese New year to all my blog mates. May the rooster year bring a lot of happiness, progress and prosperity in your life. Cheers!!

It is common to have vegetables in China but vegetarian knowledge is uncommon in China. I've visited some places of China due to business trips & other travels. Wherever I go, I found almost dumb restaurant owners about vegetarian cuisines. I wandered some so-called pure religious restaurants but unfortunately encountered totally ignoramus sellers. There are different views of point about vegetarian in the world but you find totally zero knowledge in China. Not only restaurant masters but the common people also don’t feel sorry about their poor knowledge of vegetarians. Let me tell some 11 situations that irritate vegetarians in China. 1- Once I was having lunch with my Chinese colleagues. There was single round dining table but I was hesitating to start my meal. One of my colleagues suggested me to take only vegetables separating from meat items. 2- Once I went to the Muslim hotel (Qinghai) assuming vegetarian soup but there were small pieces of meats inside the soup. 3- Once I was in Xi'an, Shopkeeper served me a bowl of noodles. He denied my blame and said - its vegetarian noodles, only few pieces of meat, no problem! 4- Once I saw some meat pieces in my food. I requested bring new one. They took my items and threw away the meat and served me the same. 5- Once I had been joining a wedding party. A cordial lady in our table was serving others too who are nearby of her seat. While I rejected, she took vegetables and suddenly put on my plate. She might be serving vegetables but her chopsticks were already covered with gravy. 6- Second time, I had joined another marriage party. Many happy people were delighting with various food items, I found nothing for me. A man suggested me to eat meat covertly, nobody can see/notice at. I said, I may deceit them but how can I cheat my soul? 7- Once, while I requested not to give me any meat items, servant prepared a fish item because many people don’t think that fish is a kind of meat. Because its not called meat. Or some suppose fish is the fruit of sea. Nowadays I use to say, NO lives （不是生命）, so that it covers all kind of beings’ body. That’s because definitions have verities. 8- Chinese are obsessed of eating many insects, aquatic animals and amphibious. None of them believe that creatures’ body is made by meat. Only the big animals’ bodies are depicted as meat. 9- If you say, I am vegetarian. Some Chinese may ask, don’t you eat Yangrou(goat) too? Or even beef too? 10- Once I had found a vegetarian and religious Chinese friend. I was thinking he might help such a hapless vegetarian in Chinese land. On the contrary he use to eat meat very few or rarely. 11- Some Chinese suggested me to eat those vegetables which were cooked together and served by the same utensils. Cooking together is one thing, eating by separating is other?? Finally, what's wrong if I eat meat? I have tried it but couldn’t swallow and felt vomiting and dizzy. I have great respect to all creatures. I may change myself is the disasters overcome or if the miracles happen in my life. Its already 5 years I have lived in China. I feel more and more confidant while not having meat. I am conquering. 我胜利了. Please, don’t force me to eat any meat. Can you have your meal while sitting in the toilet? What if a bowl of vomit is near to your table? Or there is garbage side by? I wish, spontaneously if I could change myself that will be great to accompany with you. Till then, please help me to remain vegetarian.

I would like to extend my Happy New Year greeting to all my CD blog mates. May the New year 2017 will bring a lot of love, happiness, well-being and prosperity in your life.Cheers..!!
