Abstract: "New rural festival & special events" refer to innovative festivals or events that combine traditional rural culture with modern creative elements, aimed at promoting rural economic development,cultural inheritance, community cohesion,and visitor experience.These festivals or events not only preserve and promote unique elements of rural farming culture,folk customs,and intangible cultural heritage but also inject new vitality and charm into rural areas by incorporating diverse content such as technology,art,education,and sports.They play a significant role in fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.New rural festivals & special events like "CUN BA" and "CUN Chao" showcase characteristics of innovation,economic viability,cultural significance,community engagement,and experiential elements,transitioning from "weak connections" to "strong connections,"facilitating cultural exchanges between different rural areas and building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation.They move from "embedding" to "integrating,"allowing for multidimensional interactions within rural spaces,economies, and socio-cultural dimensions,effectively promoting cultural identity among the Chinese people.From traditional "habits" to "new customs",these events not only inherit outstanding traditional rural culture but also lead to the emergence of new popular rural culture, providing new practical pathways for fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.In advancing the practice of fostering this sense,new rural festival & special events not only effectively promote rural economic development but also break down regional barriers,enhance social cohesion within rural areas,and simultaneously inherit and innovate excellent rural culture,strengthening villagers' identification with Chinese culture.Ultimately, they inspire villagers' national pride, promote value recognition,and foster a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.

Key words: new rural festivals &, special events, fostering a strong sense of community for Chinese nation, CUN BA, CUN Chao
