It has been a long time since Xie Rongzeng, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice President of the Chinese Taoist Association, President of the Fujian Provincial Taoist Association, and the abbot of the Yushan Nine Immortals Temple in Fuzhou City and the Shizhushan Taoist Academy in Fuqing City, heard the story of Xie Rongzeng and the inheritance of Taoist culture across the Taiwan Strait, But the initial "contact" began with an online interview during the Fifth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference - "You have submitted a proposal to establish a base for the Chinese Traditional Culture Forum. Can you explain the reason I am glad to share this proposal with you. You should know that located in the 'Land of Three Blessings', Fuqing is not only the birthplace and inheritance of dream culture and traditional Chinese Spring Festival' welcoming and receiving blessings' for thousands of years, but also the pilgrimage hometown of dream culture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Macao regions, as well as the world. Therefore, creating the 'China Dream World Traditional Culture Forum Base' here will help to continue Chinese culture, promote cross-strait integration and development, and make the world dream culture more prosperous Better understanding of Chinese culture and the 'Chinese Dream' With a friendly attitude, humble answers, and a warm tone, this "veteran committee member" from the religious community left a deep impression on people. As communication deepens, the story of Xie Rongzeng and "Dream Culture" gradually becomes understood by us, like a gentle breeze blowing over the sea, revealing confidence, perseverance, and strength amidst the calm waves. The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be spiritual. "A group of ancient buildings with orange tiles and red walls, exquisite and unparalleled, are built on the cliffs halfway up the southern foothills of the mountain, like towers in the air, a magnificent spectacle. This is the place for the interview during this trip, with a unique cultural landscape of "Taoism first, compatible with Buddhism and Confucianism" in Fuqing Shizhu Mountain. As a famous Taoist mountain in Fujian, the cultural activity of praying for dreams has been enduring here for over a thousand years, attracting tens of thousands of Taiwanese compatriots to come across the sea every year to pray for dreams, sightseeing, and exchange ideas. In the early summer afternoon, when Xie Rongzeng appeared in front of the Shizhushan Taoist Academy, dressed in a dark blue Chinese buckle top, he was quite eye-catching. Following him and truly entering the "fairyland on earth, the universe in dreams" of Shizhu Mountain, and getting close contact with Xie Rongzeng, I gained a more personal understanding and moved identification with "Chinese Taoist culture". Xie Rongzeng, born in Fuqing, began working at the Shizhushan Taoist Academy in 1979. For over 40 years, he has witnessed the exchange and integration of Taoist cultures across the Taiwan Strait. The Taoist temples on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same root and origin, believe in the same deity, and contain the accumulation of traditional Chinese culture. "After a 5-year hiatus, the seventh session, attended by more than 1000 believers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, was summarized by these numbers in May. This is a simple set of numbers, and it is also a set of numbers that make the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait feel warm.

The aim was to promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture and widely gather consensus and strength to achieve the cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As a third term member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, each Dream Culture Festival has become a "fixed program" for Xie Rongzeng to fulfill his duties.
