How should we treat foreign festivals???

On the one hand, young people pursue these festivals with a half-understood mentality, and on the other hand, some elderly people feel anxious, they are worried that the younger generation's enthusiasm for "foreign festivals" will weaken the influence of national culture and traditional festivals. Today's young people love Christmas very much, but their Christmas has long lost the religious color of Western Christmas, and it has just become a carrier for catharsis and relaxation like Valentine's Day and Singles' Day. I didn't spend Christmas because I believed in God and embraced Western egotism.

I'm happy to spend Christmas Eve because it's a symbol of good wishes and nothing more. I will eat Christmas just like I do with fast food, but I will not rely on it. It's like a foreign festival, after that, I put it down, I don't think about anything else, and I don't associate it with the conflict with traditional Chinese culture.

Second, culture knows no borders. Although all nations in the world have different cultural origins, once a certain culture is formed, it belongs to the common spiritual wealth of all mankind. An excellent nation must first know how to absorb the excellent culture of foreign nations.

To insist on rejecting the advanced culture created by other nations as heresy is tantamount to spiritual self-destruction! The four great inventions were the work of China, but now they are being used in full swing abroad. Moreover, China's "May 1st" Labor Day and "March 8th" Women's Day are both products imported from abroad, and they are still popular with the Chinese people.

Therefore, only by carrying forward the excellent culture of our own nation on the basis of not rejecting the excellent culture of other races can the nation continue to move toward prosperity. Only a nation without cultural boundaries can eventually become a prosperous nation, while a nation that is always petty and self-respecting will only stagnate, and the consequences will be very dangerous.

Finally, the festival is to soothe the atmosphere, perhaps with the development of the world's diversification, the festival is becoming more and more abundant, but the traditional culture is not to change, it is necessary to maintain a cautious attitude towards foreign culture, but to take its essence, discard its dross is the best policy. The joint campaign to boycott Christmas is believed to be a true promotion of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, which not only does not help solve the problem of traditional cultural protection, but may also fan the flames of narrow-minded xenophobia.

A hundred flowers bloom, the world is wonderful, treat foreign festivals, we can't worry about the sky!

The correct attitude should be: do not blindly worship, do not lose yourself; Neither fully Westernized, but also fully accepted, nor comprehensively denied, invulnerable; It's about taking the essence and discarding the dross!

Western festivals are influenced by history, religion and culture, and most of them have obvious religious overtones, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Although religion is mostly exhortation, after all, freedom of religious belief is advocated in our country, so it is difficult to make any hard and fast rules on these festivals.

For those festivals with a certain taste of Western life, such as Valentine's Day, etc., you can go as you like, "listen to and respect", after all, it can bring a certain interest in life to our tense and boring life, and inject a trace of vitality. For those festivals such as Father's Day, which not only have a strong romantic atmosphere in the West but also conform to our traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, we must vigorously advocate and strive to promote them, so as to continuously improve the quality of the nation and speed up the process of social civilization!

Each country has its own customs, and there may be something that interests you or feels right for you, so you can use that day as a day to rest and celebrate, and let yourself relax. However, don't blindly follow foreign countries to celebrate and hype.

Each country has different historical development and different cultures, so their religious beliefs and customs are also different, and we should certainly respect their culture, including some festivals and customs.

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, the school will respect the elderly, learn to honor parents, and let the traditional virtues of the motherland be carried forward in us in our celebration of the Changtong Festival.

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.

Traditional festivals are an important carrier for inheriting excellent history and culture, which not only enables people to increase their knowledge and receive lessons in the festival, but also helps to highlight culture, promote virtues, cultivate sentiments and carry forward traditions. Folk festivals are the products of the evolution and development of human civilization, and most of the festival customs have begun to emerge in ancient times.

The formation process of traditional festivals is the process of precipitation and condensation of the history and culture of the Chinese nation. "Spring and Autumn Destiny Calendar Preface": "Heaven and earth open up postures, all things are muddy, ignorant and ignorant; Yin and Yang are based on....The sun and the moon are all morning glory; 45,000 years, the sun and the moon rotate in five latitudes; ...The image of fixing the heavens, the ritual of the law and the earth, as a stem branch to determine the sun and the month.

The formulation of the ancient Ganzhi calendar provided the prerequisites for the production of festivals. In the course of historical development and evolution, the change of dynasties and the great changes in the ancient calendar, there have been a total of 102 calendars before and after, and the specific dates of some "traditional festivals" are actually not the same. In the history of the Chinese nation, there have been many festivals, some of which have survived to this day, and some of which have been "lost" halfway.
