[New Tang Dynasty News, Beijing time, December 27, 2023]The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the official arrangement of “no holiday on New Year’s Eve” was scolded by netizens. The State Council of the Communist Party of China was forced to change its tune and issued a notice encouraging all units to “arrange employees to rest on New Year’s Eve.”
“No holiday on New Year’s Eve” was scolded by netizens
Xinhua News Agency, a party media of the Communist Party of China, stated on December 25 that recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Doing Relevant Work During the New Year’s Day and Spring Festival in 2024.”
The notice stated, “Each unit is encouraged to implement systems such as paid annual leave and arrange for employees to take a break on New Year’s Eve.”
At the same time, China’s stock exchanges and futures exchanges announced that “the market will be closed on New Year’s Eve.”
The official’s inconsistent approach to “no holiday on New Year’s Eve” triggered ridicule from netizens. New Economic Vision: “The fact that there is no holiday on New Year’s Eve is the best illustration of the current situation in which departments are fighting against each other, right? At one moment it is clear that there will be no holiday, and at the next moment a document is issued to encourage companies to take a holiday.”
Pluto 1974: “Some experts in our country are like beings in the sky and have never lived in the mortal world. They can figure it out even if they don’t have a holiday on New Year’s Eve. The State Office and the Central Office go back to make up for it, and it’s ugly to patch things up.”
Zhou Yanni: “The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution yesterday (December 22) to designate the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) as a United Nations holiday. However, we do not have a holiday on New Year’s Eve. Is it because New Year’s Eve has become a foreign holiday?”

As early as October 25, the General Office of the State Council of the Communist Party of China announced the holiday holiday arrangements for 2024. New Year’s Eve will not be included in the New Year’s holiday, triggering strong criticism from the public: “New Year’s Eve is more important than Chinese New Year, and you must have New Year’s Eve dinner.”
“Without New Year’s Eve, the New Year would not be a Chinese New Year.” “How important is New Year’s Eve? Is it reasonable not to have a holiday?”

Is “New Year’s Eve” a taboo for the CCP leader?
There was a rumor on the Internet that “New Year’s Eve” and “Chu Xi” were homophonic, which was a taboo, so it was canceled by the authorities.
In fact, as early as 2013, the first New Year after Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping took office, the State Council of the Communist Party of China announced that there would be no holiday on New Year’s Eve, and also canceled New Year’s Eve from the statutory holidays. The previous holiday from “New Year’s Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year” was changed to ” The holiday from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year triggered strong protests from the Chinese people, so the authorities did not enforce this rule forcefully.
Ten years later, the authorities canceled New Year’s Eve again, sparking heated public opinion. Tang Hao, an expert on China issues and a senior media person, said in “Crossroads of the World” that from the two cancellations of the New Year’s Eve holiday, it can be seen that Xi Jinping really cares that the homophony of “New Year’s Eve” is not good for him. “Expel Xi”, it sounds like Very unlucky.
Tang Hao analyzed that Xi Jinping knew that canceling the New Year’s Eve holiday would arouse public resentment, but still did so. This is probably related to his belief in supernatural powers and prophecies.
Recently, an authoritative channel revealed to The Epoch Times that Xi Jinping believes in prophecies very much, and there are so-called experts around him to guide him. Therefore, he often hides in order to avoid assassinations, and the purge of the Rocket Force is also related to the prophecies.
Tang Hao said that the 43rd image of the ancient Chinese prophecy “Tui Bei Tu” foretells the time of a palace coup. He wrote: “The black rabbit walks into the Qinglong Cave, and it is unspeakable.” The black rabbit is the year of the black rabbit. This year 2023 happens to be the year of the black rabbit, and next year 2024 happens to be the year of the blue dragon.
He believes that, according to the prophecy, the palace coup will occur between this year and next.
There is also a sentence in “Tui Bei Tu” that “you can’t say it if you don’t want it all”. Tang Hao explained that this refers to whether the person in power, or the Chinese Communist regime, will disappear because of this? “Tui Bei Tu” cannot be said to be a secret, or there may be changes.
Tang Hao speculated that Xi Jinping probably decided to cancel the New Year’s Eve holiday under the guidance of the experts around him, so that everyone would not celebrate the New Year’s Eve, so that they could avoid the Nian beast and not have to celebrate the New Year.
He believes that Xi Jinping may really believe that “as long as the black rabbit does not step into the Qinglong Cave and the heaven, earth and people are misaligned, the prophecy of Tuibeitu may not happen, and Xi Jinping may be able to escape the palace coup.”
