July 01, 2025


Abstract : The 17th Straits Forum-Chen Jinggu cultural activity week was held from June 28 to 29 in Gutian County, Ningde City of southeast China's Fujian Province, attracting guests from all over the country.

BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) -- The 17th Straits Forum-Chen Jinggu cultural activity week was held from June 28 to 29 in Gutian County, Ningde City of southeast China's Fujian Province, attracting guests from all over the country.

Chen Jinggu has been worshiped as a guardian of women and children, and is an influential goddess in local culture. 

After thousands of years of inheritance, the Chen Jinggu culture has become an important part of the Fujian-Taiwan culture with its unique attraction and appeal, and is a historical confirmation of the same roots, culture, and ethnicity across the Taiwan Strait.

To boost cross-Strait exchanges, Gutian has given full play to the advantages in exchanges with Taiwan in geographic location, cultural bonds, etc., focusing on exploring the spiritual connotation of "love and help" in the Chen Jinggu culture.

The past sessions of the Straits Forum-Chen Jinggu cultural activity week have forged a good communication platform to carry forward the spirit of Chen Jinggu and develop the culture.

In recent years, Gutian has also used the Chen Jinggu culture as a medium to innovate cultural exchange mechanisms, expand industrial cooperation areas, and improve the policy system benefiting Taiwan.
