(4) Chinese traditional festivals, public holidays and vacations
China is a country with many nationalities. Each nationality has its own customs and traditional festivals and each festival usually has fascinating legends associated with it.
Chun Jie (The Spring Festival)
The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, is the most important festival in China, and its celebration dates back to some two thousand years ago. It marks the beginning of the lunar year, and is the time when families get together and are reunited if they have been separated. The date of the festival varies each year, but is usually in late January or early February according to the Gregorian calendar. On Lunar New Year’s eve, the sound of firecrackers can be heard throughout the night, signifying “doing away with the old and making way for the new”. The practice of letting off firecrackers, however, is on the decline because many cities have banned their use to prevent fires and accidents caused by the paper bombs. It is an old custom for people to stay up late or all night on New Year’s Eve. In cities, most people stay up late watching TV, playing cards, dancing or preparing food for the next day.
Yuan Xiao Jie (The Lantern Festival)
The lantern Festival falls 15days after the Lunar New Year. It is a tradition to hang decorative lanterns in public places and eat “Yuan Xiao”, a kind of glutinous rice flour ball with a sweet or savory filling.”
Qing Ming jie (The pure Brightness Festival)
The pure Brightness Festival, is the fifth of the 24 solar terms according to the traditional Chinese calendar, which are defined according to the position of the sun in the zodiac. The festival takes place on the fourth or fifth day of the fourth month of the Gregorian calendar, and on this day people usually go to tidy or “sweep” the graves of their departed friends and relatives, and of revolutionary martyrs.
Duan Wu Jie (the Dragon Boat festival)
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It originates as a means to propitiate the river dragon gods into a popular festival commemorating the suicide of Qu Yuan, a poet of the Warring States Period (475-221BC) who could no longer bear the moral degeneration of his state. On the fifth day of the fifth month in the Lunar calendar dragon boat races are held in commemoration of those who tried to save the poet and as an offering to the river gods. Dragon boat racing has now become a popular sport in China.
Zhong Qiu jie (the Mid-Autumn Festival)
The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth Lunar month, the middle of autumn in the traditional Chinese calendar. It takes place at harvest time on the night of the full moon, which symbolized unity. Moon cakes are eaten on this auspicious day. These are round cakes filed with dried fruits, and are symbolic of the perfect roundness of the moon at the time of the festival.
Chong Yang Jie (Double Nine Festival)
Double Nine Festival is a traditional Chinese festival on the 9th day of the 9th month of the Chinese Lunar calendar. In the “Books of Changes”, nine (9) is defined as a positive figure (“Yang”), and
“Chong” in Chinese means “double”, so it is called “Double-Nine Day”. On the day people go outing, climbing, kite-flying, drink wine (chrysanthemum wine) and eat cakes. The day has been appointed as “longevity” in Chinese, so on the day when they celebrate the festival people do things to show respect and wishes of longevity to their elderly.
Other festivals
Water Splashing Festival is New Year’s Day of the Dai and some other minority nationalities residing on Hainan Island, which falls on the 15th day of the 6th month of the Dai calendar usually on a mid-April day. Early in the morning during the festival, female villagers would gather to pour water over Buddhist sculptures “to wash the dust off”. After that, villagers, especially boys and girls, would sprinkle water on each other, believing that diseases and germs can thus be eliminated.
Christmas and Easter for Chinese Christians, and Corban and Ramadan for Muslims are also observed among some people in some places.
Public holidays
New Year’s Day (one day off);
Spring Festival (three days off);
Labor Day (May 1, three days off);
The National Day (October 1, three days off)
Foreign experts are entitled to the above holidays and many activities are arranged both locally and nationally to which experts will be invited. In addition, experts are entitled to holidays on occasions of important festivals in their own countries, such as Christmas, water-splashing festival, Corban, etc… Work schedules must be arranged to fit in with such holidays, as the Chinese do not normally celebrate them.

This time, different from the previous visit, you are supposed to live and work with Chinese for one or more years in a country where the history, culture, tradition and social system are entirely different from those in your own country .The people of China are hospitable. As long as you consciously blend yourself into Chinese people and treat yourself as a member of them, you will get further understanding of China and its people and may even form an inseparable relationship with China and Chinese people.
2 Material Preparation
The foreign cultural and educational experts generally have the traveling experience and are aware of what kind of luggage and paraphernalia should be carried. Your host institution has prepared excellent living and working conditions for you. As is known to all, China is still a developing country. However, in order to welcome the foreign experts, the host institutions have tried their best to make sure you are comfortable in life, convenient in work and have no latter worry. It's so good that the foreign experts have the mental preparations and are not overcritical in requiring the host institutions provide the same living and working conditions as in their own country.
What is important is your goal to work in China. You need to prepare relevant articles as portable personal computer, instruments and facilities, and books and materials. For if the preparation is not plenty, your work may be affected. In case you are not sure, you are suggested to inquire your host institution about what living and working articles shall be carried with.

According to regulation, partners without lawful recognition cannot enjoy related expenses provided by the host institution, as is found out to be in accord with international conventions. )

In case the employment is by way of self-recommendation or other introduction, to ensure you are surely willing to take office in the institution, the host institution may require you render credit bail of $600-1000 (the amount can be negotiated) in advance according to the stipulations of State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs. After receiving the bail, the host institution is ready to handle the formalities for you to enter China.

Only when the invitation letter and the Confirmation Letter for Foreign Expert are possessed (none of them shall be absent) can the foreign expert apply to the Chinese embassy or consulate in his country for visa for working in China (Z); where the employment term is less than 6 months, visa for visiting China (F) can be applied by the invitation letter presented by the engaging unit.

Q:1998年印尼排华事件是怎么回事?(信息摘录自维基百科全书网:http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998%E5%B9%B4%E5%8D%B0%E5%B0%BC%E6%8E%92%E5%8D%8E%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6)
A:从1998年5月13日到16日,印度尼西亚(主要是:棉兰、巨港、楠榜、雅加达、梭罗和泗水)穆斯林发动的一系列针对华人的暴动,亦称为“黑色五月暴动”。依据印尼官方调查机构“联合实情调查团”发布的《五月骚乱真相调查报告》,印尼华人共计1250人死亡,24人受伤,85名妇女遭到强暴和性骚扰。
背景
1997年发生的亚洲金融风暴迅速波及印度尼西亚。印尼严重的贫富差距,在金融风暴后更是显著。印尼国内政治长期动荡不安,在内斗之际,有心人士刻意操弄族群对立,无辜牵连华裔。
导火线
印尼在1997年和1998年出现了很多暴动行为。这些暴动显然是专门针对印尼华人的。有些暴动看起来是自发的,而有些似乎是被计划的。其中有说法指出“支持苏哈托的将军们”试图通过分裂穆斯林中的传统派和非传统派别,穆斯林与基督徒,乃至华人和土著来达到“削弱反对势力”的目的。也有些说法认为是某些将军想推翻苏哈托的统治而计划的。
暴乱中的5月13至14日在5月13日
暴乱的消息弥漫在整个雅加达。此时苏哈托总统正在埃及出席一个会议,军方要员则到达东爪哇的玛琅市参加一个典礼。在5月14日,一场严重的暴乱发生在雅加达地区,而此时没有任何军队在街道上。
印尼华人是这场血腥暴乱的主要目标,而印尼军方无视暴民们对华人的抢劫和对华人妇女的性侵犯(根据桑迪亚万神父所言)。最后,超过1000人死于这场暴乱中,大部分华人被烧死在商业区和超级市场,也有一部分被当场打死或遭到枪杀。一位政府官员称总计毁损了2479间商业建筑,1026间民房,1604间商店,384间私人办公室,65间银行,45间工厂,40间大型购物中心,13间市场和12间别墅。不过一般相信,印尼各地可能有更多华人所在的建筑物被破坏。
消息指称:军方参与暴乱
一位40岁的耶稣会牧师,出生于警方高层的家庭,桑迪亚万神父领导了对1998年黑色五月暴动的独立调查。作为“人道义工队”的代表,他会见了声称知晓军方参与暴行和抢劫的知情者。
一位不愿透露姓名的官员声称特派员组织了对银行的火烧和抢劫。一位出租车司机说,军方的直升机协助实行抢劫。一位购物中心的老板宣称,在暴乱以前军方官员向他收取保护费。一位青年说他和数千人被训练成为示威者。一个孩子称特派员把他和他的朋友组织参加了暴乱。另有说法称士兵装扮成学生并参加了暴乱。目击者指称有些强壮的、留着短发的人进入了军方的卡车并直接攻击了华人的住宅和商店。
有说法称孩子们被鼓励进入商业区,并焚烧了街道。而某些强壮的、留着短发的男子强奸了华人少女、妇女,并在之后杀害她们。
国际反应
台湾当局紧急派出客机疏散受难者,“外交部长”胡志强在7月29日约见印尼驻台代表提出向印尼提出“严正抗议”。
中华人民共和国政府表示“不干涉印尼内政”,外交部发言人唐国强在回答记者提问时表示,中国政府对印尼华人妇女在5月骚乱中遭强暴表示强烈关注和不安。同时,北京大学学生组织的抗议行动被本校劝导制止。另外,政府对内冷处理该类消息,主流媒体未作过多评价和报道。
新加坡政府宣布该国的樟宜国际机场二十四小时不关闭,接受难民入境。
美国政府认定是种族歧视;政府批准部分华裔的“避难请求”,并接受了这部分华人。《纽约时报》率先大量报道了排华暴行,才使得此事件在世界上广为传播。但同年7月开始的在美华人总计数万人次于各地抗议行为(高潮于8月7日和8日,全美国13个城市同步举行谴责印尼暴民罪行的示威抗议活动,将近两万名华人群集各地印尼使领馆前,向印尼官员递交抗议信函),美国媒体因新闻时效原因冷处理。
同年7月之后,泰国首都曼谷和马来西亚首都吉隆坡等地民众上街游行,抗议印尼排华暴行。香港特区的抗议群众更用“黑漆”涂印尼领事馆大门。
影响
印尼这起严重的暴力事件,受到国际社会同声谴责。同时,在华人世界里成为对印尼观感恶化的一个主要因素。在中国大陆,也因为此事,印尼一般被列入让民众反感的国家之一。
几十年来的“排华”原因
起因
1965年,时任印尼总统的苏加诺(苏卡诺)由于政治立场倾向共产主义阵营,当时的美国政府策动印尼军人推翻苏加诺政权,但为苏加诺的手下翁东(Letkol Untung)所悉破。所有政变军方领袖,除了苏哈托以外都被处决。而苏哈托组织了反对的军人,苏带了精锐的私人部队从苏门达腊迁到首都,并进入首都进行大规模镇压行动,在印尼全国策动“反共大清洗”。紧接着之后不到一年之内,把印尼的共产党员几乎赶尽杀绝。此外,亦由于中国共产党的参与,导致许多华人被当作共产党员处决(当然有部分华人确实参与共产党活动,但多数却是无辜牵连)。事件导致了至少50万人被屠杀,亦由于认为中国共产党曾参与援助苏加诺,导致大量华人被当作共产党员处决。事件使大量华人被逼离开印尼,到海外生活。
当时的中共高层毛泽东、周恩来对于这件事情并没有发表过意见,也没有提出抗议,只是于云南等地区接纳了大批华人,于此后印尼从六零年代中期开始长达三十几年的反华、排华。(这就是九三零事件)

在二战中,日本占领印尼期间,为了达到内部分化目的,日军进行对华裔华人的丑化宣传,意图达到转移注意力和瓦解对日敌对,并造成印尼民众对华人华裔的争斗的目的。
Q:印尼九三零事件是怎么回事?(信息摘录自维基百科全书网:http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%8D%B0%E5%B0%BC%E4%B9%9D%E4%B8%89%E9%9B%B6%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6&variant=zh-cn)
A:九三零事件是发生于1965年印尼的军事政变。时任印尼总统的苏加诺由于政治立场倾向共产主义阵营,当时的美国政府策动印尼军人推翻苏加诺政权,但为苏加诺的手下翁东(Letkol Untung)所悉破。所有政变军方领袖,除了苏哈托以外都被处决。而苏哈托为反抗,组织了反对的军人,在全国策动反共大清洗。事件除了导致大量共产党员被杀以外,亦由于认为中国共产党参与其中,导致大量华人被当作共产党员处决。
自印尼国父苏加诺成功领导独立运动以来,在外交政策上,就越来越向苏联靠拢。除了倾向共产主义阵营。与此同时,苏加诺所在的[印尼共产党(PKI)执政政府在中国共产党支持下发展得越来越蓬勃。在1965年,印尼共产党的势力已几乎无处不在得到很多民众支持。
政变及大清洗
印尼军人在美国的协助下发动政变,企图推翻苏加诺总统。但他们的策划行动被苏加诺手下翁东识破,于是苏加诺便策动反政变,派军派消除有份参与行动的军人。参与政变的军人名单有七个人,当中六个已被翁东部队处决了。
然而,陆军将领苏哈托居然没有在名单之上。而当苏哈托知道军人遇害,便发动反共行动,联合了各个反苏加诺的军人,组织了一个师,策动反共产党的大清洗,当中除了共产党员遇害,很多华人也被杀死。军方还对共产党的村落发动突袭,杀死大部分或全部的村民。死亡人数估计在十万至三百万人之间,但学界的共识约在五十万人左右。
在苏哈托掌权后,印尼共产党的幸存者被称为 tapol(tahanan politik 或“政治拘留者”)。Tapol 常常未经审判便被监禁,其财产或被没收,或被摧毁;配偶、子女与亲戚因“连带关系”获罪。近年来,许多 tapol 提出了上诉,要求公民权以及赔偿。其中最著名者是曾获国际笔会自由写作奖的作家 Pramoedya Ananta Toer。在她的回忆录中,提到当时的强迫劳动、饥饿、拷打及其他虐待。
外力的介入及干预
英国
英国记者 Paul Lashmar 与 Oliver James 自1997年起在《独立报》上发表一系列文章,探讨英国与九三零事件的幕后联系。根据这些报道,英国外交部的信息研究部(Information Research Department,简称 IRD)针对印尼共产党、印尼华人与苏加诺展开一系列的反宣传,此计旨在复制英国对付马来西亚共产党的成功经验。据当时BBC驻新加坡特派员 Roland Challis 之说,由于苏加诺坚拒BBC记者入境,英国驻雅加达的大使馆就成为资讯的唯一来源,借此, IRD 有了恣意操作新闻的机会。例如,IRD 的心战专家 Norman Reddaway 就炮制了共党将血洗雅加达的谣言。
在2000年8月16日的《独立报》上,战时国防部秘书 Denis Healey 爵士承认 IRD 曾介入此事,他否认英国秘密情报局占有任何角色;并称“个人一无所知”英国对印尼军方右翼的军事支持,但他也指出,如果确有此计划,他“无疑会支持”。
英国政府一概否认秘密情报局在事件中的角色,相关文献仍未解密。
美国
从1990年起,一些美国外交官开始向《华盛顿邮报》等媒体透漏他们曾编写印尼“共产特工”名单,交予亲苏哈托的军人与情治人员。美国记者 Kathy Kadane 访问了许多前美军军官与中情局人员,他们提到一份印尼共产党特工名单,一旦其中有人被捕或身亡,美方即在名字上打勾。他们与英国密切合作,因为英国也须保护它在马来西亚的利益。
2001年,乔治华盛顿大学的国家安全档案库获得了几份美国国务院的内部文件,表明美国与苏哈托的紧密联系。不过国家安全档案库方面则指出这些通信文件曾被严重修改。
在事件以后,美国带头向印尼投资,优先向印尼转移 劳动密集型产业,向印尼开放美国市场,并要求日本也照此办理,可以说是一定程度上为了奖励其反共措施。
政变后遗症
基本上,这次政变对印尼政局有三大影响:印尼在外交上由倾向苏联变成倾向美国,在冷战时,印尼军方因此得到美国的支持。
大批华人被杀,以及逃往中国。由于两国间的双重国籍协定被印尼单方面撕毁,令不少印尼华人的国籍身份,至今仍有含混不清之处。而在当地幸存的华人,在1970年代被迫归化印尼国籍,放弃原有中文姓氏,在多方面受到种族歧视至今。而华人每年最盛大的节日春节要偷偷摸摸的庆祝。但情况在华裔回教学者瓦希德当选总统,以及梅加瓦蒂总统、苏西洛总统努力下,情况渐有改善。
印尼在政变后,被苏哈图独裁统治多年,因缺乏民主和言论自由,当地吏治亦因此长期败坏,得不到合理解决,至今仍有后遗症。
也就是在此之后的1967年,中国同印尼断绝外交关系。
