day 3 小结
This article is about the resurgence of religious in China. Historically,stateand religion were united in China, during which time its identity were clear.However, the Communist revolutionaries regarded these religious traditions as theimpediment to progress, and made an effort to crush them in the last 6 decades.Although China’s economy is thriving now, the absence of a belief system hasbrought negative impacts. Having realized this, the party has launched anational campaign to revitalize traditional Chinese values and incorporated theminto the Party. The party will support religions that is deemed as safe, suchas Daoism and Buddhism, while oppose dangerous ones such as Christianity. On theother hand, the traditional religions will also modify their fatalism adapt toa more modern beat. In short, in the future, the religious landscape will not conformto the party narrative nor totally reserve to their past.
