(Minghui.org) The Minghui article submission platform has an established process for practitioners to submit holiday greetings and cards to Master Li. Below are some suggestions for creating and submitting greetings:

Content

1. Wording and graphics need to be timely. For example, New Year’s Day and Chinese New Year each need appropriate wording, as they each carry cultural implications. Mid-Autumn Festival cards frequently have a full moon in the background, while Falun Dafa Day graphics focus on the theme of Falun Dafa Day.

Practitioners outside China are encouraged to send greetings in their native languages, as doing so can help to counter the CCP’s hate propaganda. However, such cards should include a basic Chinese greeting, such as:

祝师父新年快乐 (Wishing Master a Happy New Year)祝师父过年好 (Wishing Master Well on Chinese New Year)恭祝世界法轮大法日 (Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day)恭祝师尊生日快乐 (Wishing Master a Happy Birthday)恭祝师尊中秋节快乐 (Wishing Master a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

2. Greeting messages should come from the heart. In addition to conveying our gratitude to Master, greeting cards can also show the beauty of Dafa and the hope it brings to the world. One way to do so is having the cards reflect the geographic and professional distribution of Dafa practitioners in society. We can encourage people who have benefitted from Dafa or support Dafa to express their gratitude as well.

3. Don’t include names of Dafa practitioners in greetings. As the persecution persists, we should avoid disclosing information that may be used to do harm. The cards can simply refer to “Dafa practitioners in [location]” or “A family in [location]” or “A Dafa practitioner in [location].”

4. Avoid terms rooted in CCP culture. For example, Chinese New Year should not be referred to as the “Spring Festival,” as this name did not exist in traditional Chinese culture.

5. Poems are best written by Dafa practitioners ourselves. Content and wording need to be appropriate. We should take into consideration that Master may read them, so we need to be respectful. Non-practitioners may also read them, so we want to make them accessible.

6. Don’t seek novelty, such as by naming Fa-study groups instead of referring to them by location.

7. Include your city, state/province, and country in both the greeting itself and in the subject line on the submission form.

8. Dates should be written in full, e.g. September 27, 2025, not in shortened formats like 2025-09-27. Greetings should reflect the date on which they were written, not a date in the future, such as the holiday itself. As greetings are often published ahead of their respective holidays, future-dated cards can raise credibility concerns. Furthermore, as practitioners, we should fully adhere to Truthfulness.

Design

1. Color and lighting should be bright, harmonious, elegant, and celebratory. Complementary colors can be used to provide a pleasing appearance. Images and text should not be dominated or framed by black, gray, white, blood red, or other heavy, dark colors. Don’t use images of predominately white flowers, as it is considered a color of mourning in Chinese culture.

2. The composition should be clean and focused. Choose an elegant font, size the text to make it prominent, and avoid italicized words. A small greeting card has limited space; if too many words, objects, and colors are squeezed in, the theme will not stand out. Background images should be clean and free of information about other websites or people.

3. Don’t include the Falun image in any form, and don’t use Master’s portrait, including in sculpture form. The production of Master’s portraits requires special care.

4. Don’t use images of Shen Yun performers or performances, including screenshots taken from videos published by Shen Yun.

5. Greeting cards should not look blurred or hazy, or display distorted images.

6. Don’t include photos of non-practitioners.

7. Greetings from practitioners in China should not use images of parades, group exercises, or group greetings to Master in other countries.
