Notes

↩ [1] 新时代 (xīn shídài): Referred to as the "New Era," this signifies the current historical period of Chinese development under Xi Jinping’s leadership, characterized by a shift from high-speed growth to "high-quality development" and a focus on resolving the "principal contradiction" between unbalanced development and the people’s need for a better life.

↩ [2] 《国语》 (Guóyǔ): Translated as Discourses of the States, this is a classical Chinese historical text compiled during the Spring and Autumn period (approx. 5th century BCE). It records the speeches and political philosophies of various regional states and is an essential source for studying early Chinese concepts of Heaven (天, tiān) and the divine.

↩ [3] 精华、糟粕 (jīnghuá, zāopò): "Essence and dross." This is a standard Marxist-Leninist rhetorical framing in China, derived from Mao Zedong’s 1940 essay "On New Democracy." It instructs scholars to critically evaluate traditional culture by "discarding the dross and selecting the essence" (去其糟粕，取其精华) to serve contemporary socialist development.

↩ [4] 破坏性膜拜团体 (pòhuàixìng móbài tuántǐ): "Destructive cult groups." While the term "cult" (邪教, xiéjiào) has a specific legal definition in China—referring to illegal organizations that deceive people and cause social harm—the term "destructive cult group" is often used in a sociological sense to describe high-control groups that threaten social stability and the physical safety of their members.
