What is a foreign festival? Let s give a definition

It is a foreign holiday.

To be precise, in ancient China, people referred to "foreign countries (all countries except China)" as "foreign", such as "foreign things", "foreigners", etc. ("foreign" mostly refers to Britain and the United States). Therefore, foreign festivals refer to festivals that flow into China from foreign countries, and are traditional festivals of foreign countries.

It's an interesting question, and it amuses me at first sight. First of all, the word "foreign festival" made me think of a large number of words with strong time watermarks such as "foreign porcelain basin", "foreign fire" and "Yanmar". I have to say that this is the imprint of an era, which has left a deep shadow in the hearts of the first generations of the post-90s.

The so-called foreign festivals are nothing more than a number of non-local festivals such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas. Literally, there is a discriminatory element contained in it, and there is a feeling of "can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour". First, if you don't have a holiday, it's someone else's business, and as long as it doesn't break the law, others have no right to interfere.

Second, it is not appropriate to label these festivals as "friend or foe". Third, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to yourself, be more tolerant, and you will find this world a better place. Whether it is the "National Festival" or the "Foreign Festival", as well as the now popular "E-commerce Festival", in addition to allowing people to experience an exotic style, it is more of a way to adjust their lives.

Year after year, day after day, how do you live a life like a glass of boiled water? It just so happens that various festivals provide a stage for people and add a festive atmosphere. Think about it, are most of these festivals festive and joyful scenes, bringing people more joy, joy, and joyful feelings.

All kinds of festivals not only carry a beautiful vision, but also a better tomorrow. Who would refuse such a happy lifestyle? Behind the joy is social stability, economic development, and the improvement of people's living standards.

Merchants even want to break the scalp and "create" some festivals, and the business opportunities are unlimited. Isn't the annual Double 11 already developed into a global shopping event? For people abroad, are they also celebrating the "foreign festival"?

Finally, if anyone must look for ballast, then ask him if he has a weekend, because the weekend is a "foreign festival"!

The so-called foreign festival refers to the festival of Westerners, there are many types, which are more common in China, such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, April Fool's Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas, Thanksgiving Day and so on. Personally, I think that Christmas, Christmas Eve, April Fool's Day, etc. are not in line with the national conditions, and some businesses hype it up for personal purposes. It has made some traditional Chinese festivals fade.

Some festivals, such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, etc., can be combined with China's national conditions. In my personal opinion, we should retain the essence and abandon the dross of foreign festivals, and pay more attention to inheriting our traditional Chinese festivals, so that festivals and holidays can be distinguished, and there is a festive atmosphere during the festival. In this way, the foreign festival will fade, and the traditional festival will return to the people.

Foreign traditional festivals are days that have special meaning for them

It is not a traditional Chinese festival, and all the imported products are foreign festivals.

There are all kinds of foreign festivals:

1. Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is one of the traditional festivals in Western countries, dated on February 14 of the Gregorian calendar every year, and China regards the traditional festival Qixi Festival as Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day has become a famous romantic holiday all over the world, but people in different countries show their love in different ways, and men and women will show their love or friendship by exchanging gifts on this day.

2. Halloween.

Halloween (also known as Halloween's Day) is a traditional Western holiday that falls on November 1 of each year in the Gregorian calendar.

October 31, the eve of Halloween, is the busiest time of the holiday, when children dress up as all kinds of cute ghosts and knock on doors to ask for candy or trick-or-treating.

3. Carnival.

Carnival is a traditional festival in Europe and the United States. It originated in the Saturnalia festival in ancient Rome, developed in the Middle Ages, and is popular in contemporary times. The festival of Carnival varies from country to country, some start on New Year's Day, some start on Christmas or other days.

4. Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day is a traditional Western holiday, a festival in the United States and Canada to thank God for a good harvest, which originated from the early immigrants in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Thanksgiving Day in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday in October and in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November.

5. April Fool's Day.

April Fool's Day (April Fool's day or all fools'Day is a popular folk festival that began to rise in the West in the 19th century, and has not been recognized as a legal holiday by any country, and the date is on April 1 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On this day, people are used to deceive, tease and make fun of each other in various ways, and often the joke is only revealed at the end.

Yes, New Year's Day belongs to the foreign festival Bushen New Year's Day in Chinese history is the first day of the Lunar New Year in the New Year.

New Year's Day is not a festival for foreigners, but a festival for our country, which has a history of 5,000 years in history, so this is a festival of our country and has nothing to do with foreigners.

"New Year's Day" should not be a foreign festival, otherwise it would not be possible to celebrate it every year.

The term "New Year's Day" has not only existed in China since ancient times, but there are also festivals celebrated by ancient Chinese people every year. On the surface, "New Year's Day" is undoubtedly a traditional Chinese festival. But a closer look reveals that what we call "New Year's Day" is completely different from what our ancestors called "New Year's Day".

Legislatively, he was introduced from the West, and in terms of name, it is very traditional.

New Year's Day is a place where Chinese and Western civilizations blend, and there was no New Year's Day in ancient China.

New Year's Day came here from ancient foreign countries, believe it or not, and I didn't write the history books.

I don't know when it started, we Chinese find all kinds of reasons to celebrate the festival, no matter which international festival, or whether it has anything to do with ourselves, as if we are going to have a festival in a few days, we Chinese have nothing to do! It's still better to live! Chinese just celebrate their own country's festival, why do you make the foreign festival so loud!

How boring! In fact, whether it is Christmas or Valentine's Day, no one in Chinese cares about it, but due to the speculation of some merchants out of sales, coupled with the touting of news ** that we spend the country's silver and do not feel distressed, the Western festival that is not a holiday is boiled up and attracts the public's attention. The change of ideology is very important, for the sake of national traditions, for the sake of the next generation, the news ** should first think about how to treat, how to guide, this is the responsible approach.

What does the foreign festival mean refers to Western festivals such as April Fool's Day, Christmas, etc.

April Fool's Day (April Fool's day、april fool's day or all fools'Day) is also known as the Ten Thousand Fools Festival, the Humor Festival, is a traditional folk festival in Western society, and the festival is held on April 1 every year. April Fool's Day has similarities with the Frolic Festival in ancient Rome and the Festive Festival in India.

In some countries in Europe and the United States, on this day, people make jokes about the people around them in many ways, and the fooled person only suddenly realizes when he is told that it is April Fool's Day, so this day can always lead to many jokes.

However, some jokes can also cause panic because they are too big, or change the situation and become (online) rumors. However, jokes can only be played until 12 noon at the latest, which is a strict rule, and April 1 is the traditional folk festival of April Fool in the West every year's day), also known as the festival of ten thousand fools.

There are many theories about its origins: one theory suggests that the custom originated in the Indian festival of "slang", which stipulates that on March 31 every year, men and women, young and old, they can joke and fool each other in exchange for entertainment.

It refers to the festival of foreigners, such as the egg festival or something.

Respect and solemnly celebrate traditional festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival, and Spring Festival. Rational participation in the foreign festival, I believe everyone has also seen that the current foreign festival is not a festival but a pure shopping carnival, rather than a lively or take the time to learn the history and story behind our traditional festival, I personally at least love the traditional festival more, after all, the ancestors of our motherland gave us not only a brilliant history, but also a holiday of conscience.

I will be passed by others, but I don't care if others are me.

Major traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival must be celebrated, because at this time of year, I have to give gifts to my father-in-law.

It doesn't matter if it's a foreign festival, when others celebrate Valentine's Day, I also buy a gift for my wife decently. Everyone celebrates Christmas, so I buy a few pounds of apples to take home.

But I don't attach much importance to it in my heart, I just follow the crowd.

Rational participation in the foreign festival, I believe everyone has also seen that the current foreign festival is not a festival but a pure shopping carnival, rather than a lively or take the time to learn the history and story behind our traditional festival, I personally at least love the traditional festival more, after all, the ancestors of our motherland gave us not only a brilliant history, but also a holiday of conscience.

Hello, we're meeting again.

Traditional festivals need to be inherited by us, so that future generations can realize the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

Now that the world is becoming more and more open, the concept of a global village has been around for a long time, and we should also welcome the cultures of other countries.

Having said all this, don't you know me very well, so make a friend and get to know me

I think it's a traditional festival that should be treated with grandeur. For example, every Spring Festival, no matter if we are in **, we will return home to reunite with our families, and on this day, there will be a lot of delicious food on the table. After all, the foreign festival is a festival for foreigners, but it is good for friends to have a party on this day and chat happily together.

So, traditional festivals are to be spent with family, while foreign festivals are to relax with friends.

This thing is like when we look at Ultraman and Sun Wukong, one can't beat it for a while and then magnify the move, and the other uses seventy-two changes so that the other party can't see it at all, both of which are existences we like. Traditional festivals have been passed down for thousands of years and have been integrated into our lives, and foreign festivals have become the main festivals for young people now.

Traditional festivals can only be better inherited by the attention and protection of young people, and traditional festivals have thousands of years of cultural heritage, which is incomparable to foreign festivals. We have to have some wind bones in the foreign festival, and we should all watch the excitement, there is no need to follow the trend and pass the festival.

I think that as a Chinese, we can accept foreign festivals, but do not respect, what we need to do more is to respect our traditional festivals in China, after all, we are an ancient country with 5,000 years of culture, as a Chinese, we must not forget our roots, we must remember the great achievements of our ancestors, inherit and carry forward their spirit.

The same festival, mainly depends on whether you want to go to it, just like the traditional cultural festival of our country, which can not be discarded, I have a lot of people, even if you don't want to live, there are many people who will go, whether it is a traditional festival or a foreign festival, whether you want to see your own wishes, everyone has the right to choose!

Traditional festivals and foreign festivals are now closely related to our festivals, for how to look, we only live their favorite festivals, everyone has a choice, the heart is moved from their own point of view, for their own not too favorite festivals to maintain a respectful attitude.

The festival is to relax yourself and regulate your mood, don't do those things that make yourself blocked! When the family gets together, no matter what the holiday is, it will be fun!

Calculate. New Year's Day is the first day of the solar calendar, that is, the first day of the Western calendar, and the Western calendar is imported from abroad, which is considered a foreign festival.

Of course, it is not a foreign festival, since our country uses the Gregorian calendar, then January 1 of each year is the New Year, but the traditional New Year is still the Spring Festival.
