釋奠

/ʂʐ̩⁵¹⁻⁵³ ti̯ɛn⁵¹/

/ʂʐ̩⁵¹⁻⁵³ ti̯ɛn⁵¹/

Traditionally glossed (e.g. by Zheng Xuan) as 釋菜奠幣 (to make a ritually clean offering of vegetables and ceremoniously lay the treasures of silk), it was specified in the Book of Rites as part of a ritual honouring the 先師, ancient instructors (of war).
:
The association of the school and education with war was once common in proto-feudal China (see Yang, 1965). The term was later used chiefly in the Confucian context as a ceremony honouring Confucius and other sages, without the warlike association.

When the forces return, (they make) the offerings of vegetables and silk at the school (to the ancient instructors of war), and announce (the news of victory) by presenting the captives and the severed ears of the slain.

The Book of Rites, c. 4ᵗʰ – 2ⁿᵈ century BCE

反，釋奠于學，以訊馘告。

反，释奠于学，以讯馘告。

These days in the rites of shidian offerings were made to Boyu but not to Zisi.

The name of Trump, 川普 (Chuānpǔ), remoulded into a sarcastic pseudo-Chinese name.
It originated from his campaign slogan "make America great again" and a humorous opinion amongst netizens that Trump is in fact an undercover agent for China to destroy the United States, as his various actions (and inactions) as the US president actually tarnish the image of the US more so than embellish it, and are thereby "making China great".
建國／建国 (jiànguó, “to build/found the nation”) is a given name with patriotic undertones, commonly given to someone born around the Founding of the People's Republic of China (1949), such as Trump.

A pseudo-Chinese name.
The surname is a clipping of 奧巴馬／奥巴马 (Àobāmǎ, “Obama”), and the given name originated from a calligraphy given to Barack Obama during his trip to China in 2009 that contained the following four characters:
:
This idiom-like phrase may be interpreted as a pun on the Chinese leadership, with “ocean” (海) referencing 中南海 (Zhōngnánhǎi, “Zhongnanhai; the central headquarters for the Communist Party of China”), and “roaring waves” (濤) referencing 胡錦濤 (Hú Jǐntāo, the Chinese president at the time), making this translate to “watching the central government and listening to President Hu”, something a Chinese ally would do.

Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 現人神(あらひとがみ) (arahitogami).

The traditional tamashizume, which has facing the world of the other side as its theme, was already unable to satisfy the needs of the modern nation-state. Only the display of the contributions made by the dead to the country, and the resulting conferral of supreme posthumous honour to the dead, done by the emperor who had the status of arahitogami, was the direction of the development of the Japanese official religious system of Saisei Itchi at the time.

傳統以面向彼岸世界為主旨的「鎮魂」已經不能滿足近代民族國家的需要，由具有現人神地位的天皇彰顯死者對國家之功績、給予死者無上之哀榮，將信仰賦予面向現世的價值取向，才是當時日本「祭政一致」官方宗教體系的發展方向。

From Chinese scholar Tian Feilong's editorial Patriots Administering Hong Kong: A New Birth of Hong Kong's Democracy published on Ming Pao

The Central Government determined neither to create rubber stamps nor "loyal rubbish", but rather virtuous and talented patriots.

2021 December 21, Central News Agency, 香港立法會選舉／改變忠誠廢物局面 親北京新舊建制派互補 (HK LegCo Election: Changing the Situation of "Loyal Rubbish", New and Old Pro-Beijing Pro-establishment Complements Each Other):

Under the careful planning of Beijing, observers believe that many freshmen and a variety of people from different interest group will enter the current parliament. Whether they will become new members of the pro-establishment camp or are only "loyal rubbish" should be waited.

在北京方面的「精心策劃」下，外界相信將會有很多新人及不同界別的人進入本屆議會，但他們當選後是否會成為建制陣營的生力軍，抑或只是「忠誠廢物」的繼承者，且拭目以待。

Should one carefully read Tian Feilong's article, it is not hard to understand that "loyal rubbish" is not targeted against the pro-establishment camp.
