If politics is the body of a nation, then culture is its soul. Political parties rise and fall just as the body ages and dies, but the spirit of culture lasts forever, perpetuating the lifeline of a nation and the value of human life.


Cherish the Value of Culture and Preserve Cultural Lifeline

Tai Ji Men would like to extend its gratitude to all individuals and organizations that have worked together to protect the dignity of culture.
