Resolution

Whereas, New Tang Dynasty Television is hosting the 2008 Chinese New Year Spectacular on January 7 through 9, 2008, at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie; and

Whereas, New Tang Dynasty Television, an independent Chinese-language media company, seeks to highlight traditional Chinese culture and bridge eastern and western cultures, and its annual Spectacular event plays an important role in furthering these goals; first produced in 2004, with shows held in five cities around the world for some 10,000 audience members, the event has since grown in size and scope each year; the 2008 tour is expected to reach 500,000 people in 50 major cities; and

Whereas, Considered the most important Chinese holiday, the Chinese New Year recognizes the renewal of the earth for plowing and sowing and is also a time for celebration and reflection with friends and family; the Spectacular showcases this notable event and heightens an awareness and appreciation of Chinese artistry through lively performances of dance and music; and

Whereas, Since its inception, the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular has garnered well-deserved praise for presenting fables of Chinese mythology in a way that is universal and relevant to today's society; its performances also serve to strengthen and enhance the bonds of the global community as audiences from diverse backgrounds benefit from the meaningful display of ideas, culture, and tradition; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the New Tang Dynasty Television Chinese New Year Spectacular be commemorated and that all those involved in its production be extended sincere best wishes for continued success.
