Now that many people are celebrating Christmas, should we celebrate the foreign festival in China?

I don't think so, because it's not a holiday that belongs to us, and it doesn't mean much for us to have it.

I think that the festival should not be advocated in China, because the Chinese should focus on the festival of their own country, and if we pay attention to the festival, we will lose the sense of belonging to our traditional Chinese festival culture.

I think it should be, because it's still quite fun and relaxing.

The state does not explicitly stipulate that Christmas and other foreign festivals are not allowed, this is just a rumor.

Christmas is actually the New Year in the West, every year at Christmas, Western countries will start a holiday, and then the family gets together, Christmas is also one of the most important festivals in Western countries, and the Chinese New Year is almost the same. But because there is Santa Claus at Christmas, this holiday will become very cute, so it is also deeply favored by young people in China. In addition, many businesses will hold events at Christmas, so the festive atmosphere in China is also very good at Christmas.

The state has guidance on traditional festivals, but in this opinion, it only mentions the connotation of some traditional festivals in China, which is also for the inheritance and publicity of traditional festivals. However, in this "Opinions", it only regulates its own behavior, and does not mention the issues related to Western festivals.

Although in order to learn from Western culture, some Western festivals were introduced, such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day and Christmas. But in fact, Western festivals have a strong religious color, and Chinese people actually do not understand the background of Western festivals.

And because young people like to pursue fashion and innovation, they will ignore some traditional festivals in China in order to go to the foreign festival. In fact, traditional festivals are the days that young people should inherit and commemorate. However, it is obvious that compared with Christmas and Valentine's Day, traditional festivals have fewer gimmicks and wild marketing points, and businesses also vigorously promote foreign festivals in order to make money and ignore traditional festivals.

If it goes on like this, then the next generation is likely to only know about Valentine's Day, and not know about China's own traditional Valentine's Day. Probably many people have been to Thanksgiving and forgotten about our own Chung Yeung Festival. Maybe many people go to Christmas and don't care about their Spring Festival at all.

This is detrimental to the education and inheritance of young people.

Compared with some Western festivals, traditional festivals are wealth. For the Dragon Boat Festival that we don't cherish, South Korea and other countries are scrambling to apply for intangible cultural heritage, wanting to keep it for themselves. Every traditional festival has a corresponding story and history behind it, and this is our festival.

Western festivals are just for fun, and we don't know the religious stories and morals behind them, which is the cultural difference.

Christmas is a foreign festival, and Christmas is the most solemn traditional festival in the West. Broad

Christmas DayOn December 25 every year, people gather together for a festive meal. The most common theory about the origin of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus. It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was starved by the Virgin Mary.

When Mary was about to give birth, Rome** decreed that all the people must go to Bethlehem and declare their domiciles. Mary and her fiancé Joseph had no choice but to go to Bethlehem before the cherry blossoms, and it was at this time that Jesus was born, and December 25 was designated as Christmas Day to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

What is the basis for choosing this day as the birthday of Jesus, because this day is the Roman "Saturnalia", during which the trade stops, slaves are temporarily freed, gifts are exchanged, and young men and women are married here. The date of Jesus' birth symbolizes the birth of Jesus as the rebirth of the sun, and Jesus shines like the sun.

Christmas Traditions:

Decorating the Christmas tree: This tradition refers to decorating the pine tree with lanterns, gold leaf, garlands, ornaments, candy bars, etc. Nowadays, Christmas trees are also an indispensable part of the festivities.

Lighting Christmas Candles: This tradition refers to the fact that people will put a lit candle outside the rhinoceros during the Christmas season. Even in the darkest of rooms, candles bring light and symbolize hope.

Baking Christmas cakes: This English tradition has been around for centuries, when plum porridge was drunk on Christmas Eve, and over time, people were served with preserved fruits, honey and spices, and then Christmas cakes appeared instead of plum blossoms. Christmas cakes are baked with eggs, butter, desserts, fruit pens.

Nowadays, Christmas cakes are an indispensable part of Christmas recipes.

There is no rule in the state that Christmas and other festivals are not allowed. The news circulating on the Internet that "the state stipulates that Christmas and other foreign festivals are not allowed" is purely a rumor.

It has been confirmed: The General Office of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the Communist Party of China issued the "Opinions on the Implementation of the Project for the Inheritance and Development of Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture", and issued a notice, requiring all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of actual conditions. For Western 'foreign festivals' such as Valentine's Day, Easter, April Fool's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., party members and cadres should take the lead, and they can no longer be confused about these Western festivals.

This news is a rumor.

The original text of Article 12 of the Opinions reads:"Carry out in-depth activities on the theme of 'Our Festival', implement the revitalization project of traditional Chinese festivals, enrich the cultural connotation of traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, etc., and form new festival customs. "It aims to revitalize traditional Chinese festivals and does not mention Western festivals.
