  • Title: Four Activities: 四项活动 (Sì xiàng huódòng)
  • Audio:
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 四项活动 (Sì xiàng huódòng). This term is the CCP’s categorization of a set of religious and cultural practices that, according to Timothy Grose, “provide opportunities for devout and casually religious families alike to strengthen connections.” These activities include baby-namings, circumcisions, funerals, and weddings. In order to “standardize” religious affairs and bolster the “fighting strength, team spirit, and cohesion” of the Party branch, authorities have launched a set of policies known as the four applications, four delegations, and four receipts. In practice, this means that any family wishing to hold a baby-naming event, circumcision, funeral, or wedding will need to fill out an application, host a CPP representative, and produce a receipt documenting the event.
