古城绛州：淡雅墨香里的浓浓年味******
(新春走基层)古城绛州：淡雅墨香里的浓浓年味
中新网运城1月12日电 题：古城绛州：淡雅墨香里的浓浓年味
中新网记者 陆祁国
“虎步腾云追绮梦，兔毫泼墨绘宏图。”看到自己中意的这副春联书写完毕，在一旁等候的居民高兴得合不拢嘴。
诗词楹联学会会员原创春联，民众点选心仪的春联，书法艺术家现场挥毫。1月12日，山西运城新绛县龙兴广场，淡雅的墨香里透出浓浓的年味。
春联是中华民族独具特色的传统文化，写春联、贴春联不仅是一种民俗活动，更是赓续文化血脉、回味乡音乡愁的难忘符号。组织书法艺术家走上街头、走进村庄现场书写原创春联并免费赠送，是新绛县延续多年的文化惠民活动之一。
此前一天，“2023‘绛州古城中国年’写春联、送春联活动”正式启动。
“香透窗纱花映翠，人居福地寿延年”“绿染春光春染绿，歌飞岁首岁飞歌”……12日上午，新绛县诗词楹联学会会员周长胜原创的多副春联不时被民众“相中”。
84岁的周长胜系新绛县诗词楹联学会“元老”。为民众书写春联超过50年的他，至今仍坚持每年创作春联、书写春联。有时，他会专程前往距离县城几十里外的村庄为村民书写春联。
39岁的刘建国同系新绛县诗词楹联学会会员，自幼喜好书法。平时，但凡有人找他书写春联，无论工作多忙他都尽量满足。
青年志愿者走进农村发放春联。 陆祁国 摄起初，刘建国不会编撰春联，只能抄一些现成的内容。时间长了，他意识到一个问题：春联内容不能年年都是“涛声依旧”。如是，他对编撰春联产生兴趣。
“刚开始只是自己摸索，后来有幸得到(新绛县)诗词楹联学会老师指导，懂得了春联的平仄关系。”近年来，刘建国书写的原创春联受到很多人喜欢。
无联不成春，有联春更浓。新绛县诗词楹联学会会长朱青龙说，春联承载着民众对节日的祝福、对美好生活的向往，内容需要与时俱进，这是该学会多年来坚持原创春联的主要原因。
“今年，我们在原创春联中精选了169副，供民众点选。”新绛县文联主席兰秀艳介绍，这些春联的内容紧扣时代主题，既展现新绛历史文化底蕴，又立意高远、充满正能量，突出喜庆祥和春节气氛。
12日10时许，新绛县泉掌镇新庄村，新绛县委宣传部、共青团新绛县委组织的送春联活动同步进行。青年志愿者忙着把春联装进手提袋，村民排队领取。
79岁的村民卫建林系第四届运城助人为乐道德模范提名奖获得者，多年来坚持为村民免费书写春联。看到志愿者送来春联以及其他慰问品，老人非常高兴：“以前我给别人写，现在别人给我写，这个活动传承得很好。”
同日，一批装有绛州木版年画、福兔、福字、门画、窗花、春联的春节文化大礼包，也在派送中。
新绛县委常委、宣传部部长吴宏伟介绍，写春联、送春联活动将持续10天。其间，书法艺术家、青年志愿者将分头走进老城、新城、社区、农村送祝福、增年味。
2014年，新绛县荣膺“中国最佳楹联文化县”称号，“国字号”楹联文化品牌成为绛州古城靓丽的文化名片。(完)
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾****** 中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。  资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。 麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。 一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。 此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。 作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。 美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。 这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。 从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。 两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy". The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader. Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party. On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration. On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses. Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees. As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives. But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker. CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful. This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally. Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits. From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public. Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world. The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
