Root-seeking China Root-seeking.

China people's root-seeking refers to the exploration of family culture and the pursuit of ancestors by people in foreign countries. Generally, we look for information about our ancestors through genealogy and genealogy. China people will understand the importance of their own cultural origin, so some traditional cultures, such as sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day, making zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, eating moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival and making jiaozi on New Year's Eve, are essential, because this is their "root"-China culture. Since China opened to the outside world, many overseas Chinese have returned to the motherland to seek their roots, which profoundly shows that China people remember their history and the feelings of their ancestors when drinking water.

China people's view of "cultural roots";

The book "Roses and Education" mentions that "being a rooted China person can improve the overall quality of the Chinese nation and inherit, carry forward and develop its excellent culture. In this way, in the forest of nations in the world, the Chinese nation can exist, be proud, and avoid becoming slaves to other people's culture and economy. "

Sun Meiling, an overseas relative of Sun Yat-sen, said, "Although I was born in Los Angeles, my roots are in China. I've always wanted to know about the traditional culture and long history of China. I will definitely come back in the future and come back to find my roots. "
