The year 2025 marks the conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the planning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. It is also a crucial year for implementing the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and further comprehensively deepening reform. The 2025 National Two Sessions held at such a time point are of great significance in carrying forward the past and ushering in the future.

    In the past year, the development process of our country has been quite extraordinary. China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength have continued to increase, and new solid steps have been taken in Chinese-style modernization.

      This year's government work report emphasizes that we should "adhere to the Party's basic policy on religious work, systematically promote the Sinicization of religions in China, and strengthen the rule of law in the governance of religious affairs." Doing a good job in religious work is related to improving the overall pattern of united front work, giving full play to the political role of the united front in uniting people's hearts and gathering strength, and is conducive to "gathering the powerful force of Chinese people at home and abroad to create brilliance together". Taoism is a native religion in China. Doing a good job in Taoist work is not only related to the healthy inheritance of Taoism, but also to social harmony, ethnic unity, national security and the great cause of national reunification. The Taoist community feels a great sense of responsibility and a glorious mission.

    The Taoist community should bravely shoulder the new cultural mission of the new era, explore its connotations, innovate its forms, and do a good job in the creative transformation and innovative development of Taoist culture.

Everyone was greatly inspired and expressed their determination to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Two Sessions, further unify their thoughts and actions with the decisions and plans of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, fully implement the Party's basic policy on religious work, systematically promote the Sinicization of Taoism, and enhance the level of legalization in the governance of Taoist affairs.

   The convening of the Two Sessions in 2025 is of great significance and far-reaching influence. Contribute the wisdom and strength of the Taoist community to the comprehensive advancement of building a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization!
