Culture and language should be celebratedBy Ng Siu-lin 黃修仁To consolidate the nation’s culture, Taiwanese should recognize the languages and cultures of Taiwan’s various ethnic groups, learn about local customs and understand the nation’s history. Only then will Taiwan be able to become a normal nation, and “Taiwan Culture Day,” observed on Oct. 17, would become truly meaningful. In the past few years, the Ministry of Culture has devoted itself to governing and nation-building through culture. It makes every effort to preserve and recreate Taiwanese culture, and promotes it to the international community. Participants can discover the diversity of Taiwanese culture and be artistically inspired about how to think about being Taiwanese with dignity.
