Why are there fewer and fewer traditional festivals?

Personally, as a China person, we should also maintain enough respect for traditional festivals. Because this is not only a obedience to the historical tradition of the Chinese nation, but also a confirmation of its own national identity. Make use of traditional festivals to close the relationship with family members and enhance the feelings with relatives and friends, so that during the busy work and study process, you will not forget your obligations in the whole family and enhance your sense of belonging and pride in your family.

In an open society, of course, we should not exclude foreign festivals, but at the same time, we should not ignore our traditional festivals because of the introduction of western festivals. It is understandable to worship foreign countries, but flattering foreign countries is not the right attitude. After we have tasted the freshness of western festivals, it is time to reflect on how to treat traditional festivals.

It is extremely naive and ridiculous to flaunt oneself as a newcomer to the times by despising traditional festivals. In fact, the more open the society, the more people should pay attention to their own nation. All ethnic groups pay attention to maintaining their own national characteristics, and the world will be pluralistic; Human civilization will become rich and colorful. This is the correct attitude that people in the new era should hold in the face of different human civilizations.

Reasons for the decline of traditional festivals

1. Traditional festivals are related to farming culture. With the continuous transformation of human society to urban civilization and industrial civilization, the relationship between man and nature is gradually alienated, and the cultural background attached to traditional festivals tends to be dim.

2. In the Internet age, influenced and impacted by various cultural information and lifestyles, people are more looking to the future, less interested in reviewing history and less opportunities. In line with this, people's awareness and feelings about historical traditions are getting weaker and weaker.

Traditional festivals are based on the lunar calendar, but now people in society generally use the Gregorian calendar. With the passage of time, traditional festivals based on the lunar calendar are easily overlooked.

4. Traditional festivals originated and developed in acquaintance society. In this social environment, people have a very strong affection, friendship or nostalgia, and it is easy to form interaction and blending with each other. However, modern society is a highly mobile society, and the relationship between people is alienated and loose. The social environment needed by traditional festivals has undergone a qualitative change, and the power to support their existence is getting weaker and weaker.

In modern society, people's ideological space and living space have been greatly expanded. The existence of the Internet has brought great convenience to people's material life and spiritual life, and people have more and more opportunities to enjoy entertainment and carnival. As a result, the attraction of traditional festivals has dropped significantly.
