    As a Chinese, you should maintain enough respect for traditional festivals. Because this is not only a kind of obedience to the historical tradition of the Chinese nation, but also a confirmation of one's own national identity. Through traditional Chinese festivals, we can learn to respect the elderly, learn to honor our parents, and let the traditional virtues of the motherland be carried forward in us in our traditional festivals.

    For Western festivals, students should learn more about the legends and stories of Western festivals, so that they can become caring and have a beautiful heart. At the same time, we must clearly understand that we are Chinese, so we must understand the civilization of our great motherland, and Chinese people should learn the traditional culture of our country and live our own festivals.

    Students, another Dragon Boat Festival has quietly passed by us, are you only immersed in the leisure of the holiday? Have you ever overlooked the significance of these three days off? Almost everyone knows that the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival full of Chinese cultural heritage, and it is a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu during the Warring States Period.

    Traditional customs such as hanging mugwort leaves, writing talismans and reciting mantras, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats have also been passed down for thousands of years. However, why was the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in Korea officially designated as an Important Intangible Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005? Why is today's Dragon Boat Festival one-sidedly fragmented and diluted into a fragmented festival and lost its original appearance?

    Because, we ignore it. In fact, not only the Dragon Boat Festival, but also traditional festivals such as the Qingming Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Double Ninth Festival have all been forgotten by us, and replaced by April Fool's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving ...... in the WestWhen we see many people carefully decorating flashy Christmas trees, when we see many people talking about Western topics with relish, when we see many people blindly pursuing the "avant-garde" ...... of Western festivalsDo you think of traditional cultures that have been forgotten in the corner?

    However, when we regain the cultural memory of these traditional festivals, we find that the "taste" of traditional festivals is often drowned out by the "commodity frenzy". For a long time, many people thought that the festival was just about eating better and dressing better, and many people abandoned the cultural connotation. The festival is artificially downplayed by ignoring the cultural and spiritual values of traditional festivals.

    Especially in recent years, people have pushed some traditional festivals to the market, and folklore has become a selling point. Many times people often feel very lost during the festival, and they don't know how to spend the festival, and this loss is not a kind of "stomach loss", but a kind of spiritual loss.

    However, we must also be soberly aware of the negative impact of contemporary Western thought. The negativity of Western culture corrupts the social atmosphere and corrupts people's minds. The negative factors in contemporary Western ideological trends are mainly manifested in money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism in China.

    It has a negative impact on the spirit and morality of people, especially our contemporary youth. This negativity and corruption in Western culture has come under increasing criticism even in the West.

    Feng Jicai, vice chairman of China's Federation of Literary and Art Circles, once said: Traditional festivals are an important part of a nation's cultural heritage, so protecting traditional festivals is to protect a nation's "spiritual homeland". It is gratifying to know that we have recognized the importance of traditional festivals and the spiritual value of these festivals.

    The adjustment plan of the national statutory holidays reflects the national cultural development strategy and the respect for people's traditional habits, which is in line with the people's will, conforms to the will of the people, and is popular with the people, which is conducive to enhancing the cohesion and affinity of the Chinese nation.

    In this case, then we should do our part to make this "cohesion" and "affinity" even better! Eight (4) Class Kim Hsien.
