弘扬民族文化
Portrayed in the above cartoon are several china vases on which paints a panda playing kongfu. A bunch of special flowers in one of the vases bears the Chinese character "the East", which represents China, a great nation in the east.
It is obvious that the purpose of the cartoon is to remind us to promote Chinese culture. As our Chinese society is progressing, both economically and politically, Chinese splendid culture of over 5, 000 years has also been appreciated and shared by people from other cultural backgrounds around the world. Now China presents a new image to the world which is becoming increasingly attractive and appealing. For instance, news stories are reported and broadcasted every day all over the world about what is going on in China. As is reported, now there are 72 Confucius Institutes in 26 European countries established to spread Chinese language and culture.
To conclude, as Chinese citizens, we should take pride in our national culture. Meanwhile, it is the responsibility of each Chinese citizen to cherish our national culture as priceless spiritual treasure and to promote our excellent traditional Chinese culture to the world.
