Why is culture lacking and folk festivals weak?

Lack of culture, why are folk festivals weak? Festivals are an important carrier of cultural heritage, bearing heavy cultural connotations. The traditional festivals in China have experienced a long development process, accumulated various forms and rich cultural resources, and are an integral part of the long history and culture of the Chinese nation. In the long historical development process, many excellent cultures of the Chinese nation have been deposited in it, which is a huge spiritual wealth for the whole nation and plays a positive role in shaping national quality and cultivating national spirit.

What's the difference between foreign folk festivals and China folk festivals? First of all, we have to admit the fact that teenagers are super receptive to new things. Actually, don't worry too much. I did a survey, and almost 90% of the answers were, "Alas, it doesn't matter whether there are festivals or not (referring to foreign countries), but since you can play in name, why not?" In other words, many teenagers are so interested in foreign festivals for fun.

So, why can't they be so interested in festivals in China?

First of all, festivals in China have a long history and cultural essence. Don't blaspheme. Secondly, festivals in China are often symbolic. For example, on New Year's Eve, the day before the first day of the first lunar month, people set off firecrackers to scare away the monster Xi. Therefore, there are naturally fewer things to play with. Whenever a festival in China comes, what teenagers think about is not how to play, but how to experience or know what is hidden behind this festival. Valentine's Day on Qixi, a beautiful love story, not only tells us that the feudal system destroyed the sacred feelings of human beings, but also reveals the true meaning of love: "If two feelings last for a long time, they will seize the day." Therefore, festivals in China are not for fun.

Now, look at foreign festivals. Many of them are entertainment (of course, many festivals are linked to religion to make it sacred, but they are also reflected through entertainment)

For example, April Fool's Day is simply boring. "It's just to tease you."

For example, Christmas is a gift-giving festival, and many young men who secretly love girls just seize the opportunity to give MM something.

For example, Valentine's Day, Halloween and Easter. Many festivals can be held by holding parties.

However, let's compare the festivals in China. Most traditional festivals in China are spent with family members. Few people don't go home during the Spring Festival, but get together at friends' houses.

Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival all need family reunion. Therefore, since teenagers are facing their families, how can they play!

So the only answer for you is "because teenagers (middle school students) need to play in the name of a festival!" "

Learn about a folk festival. The main festivals of the Dai people are the Dai calendar New Year-Water-splashing Festival, Closing Festival and Opening Festival. The "Water-splashing Festival" is a traditional festival for the Dai people to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. The time is in the middle of April in the Gregorian calendar. The main activities during the festival are ancestor worship, sand piling, water splashing, packet loss, dragon boat race, lighting fire and singing and dancing carnival. Taboo: it is forbidden for outsiders to ride horses, drive cattle, carry loads and enter the stockade unkempt; When entering the Dai bamboo house, you should take off your shoes outside the door and walk gently inside. You can't sit above or across the fireplace, enter the owner's inner room, or sit on the threshold; The tripod on the fireplace can't move, and the fire can't be pushed; Don't whistle and cut your nails at home; Don't use clothes as pillows, and don't sit on pillows; When hanging clothes, the coat should be hung at a high place, and the pants and skirts should be hung at a low place; Take off your shoes when entering the Buddhist temple, and avoid touching the head, Buddha statue, spear, banner and other Buddhist sacred objects of the young monk. Daily Eating Habits Most Dai people have the habit of having two meals during the solar eclipse, with rice and glutinous rice as the staple food. The Dai staple food in Dejuji is japonica rice, and the Dai staple food in Xishuangbanna is glutinous rice. Usually eaten immediately. People think that japonica rice and rice need to be eaten immediately without losing their original color and fragrance, so they don't eat overnight meals or rarely eat them, and they are used to pinching rice with their hands. Migrant workers often eat fish meals in the wild. They make glutinous rice balls out of banana leaves or rice, which can be eaten with salt, pepper, sour meat, roast chicken, Mi Nan (which means sauce in Dai) and moss pine. All dishes and snacks are mainly sour, such as sour bamboo shoots, sour pea powder, sour meat and wild sour fruit; I like to eat pickled cabbage. It is made by drying vegetables, then boiling them in water, adding papaya to make the taste sour, and then drying them and storing them. Put a little stir-fry or put it in soup when eating. This kind of sauerkraut is eaten almost every day by Dai people in some places. It is said that Dai people often eat sauerkraut because they often eat sticky rice food that is not easy to digest, and sour food helps digestion. The daily meat is pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, and don't eat or eat less mutton. Dai people who live in the mainland like to eat dog meat, are good at roast chicken and roast chicken, and are very fond of aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, crab, snails and moss. Eating with moss is a unique flavor dish of Dai people. The moss eaten by the Dai people is the moss on the rocks in the river in spring, preferably dark green. After fishing, tear it into thin slices, dry it, and put it on with a bamboo stick for later use. When cooking, the thick ones are fried and the thin ones are roasted with fire. Crushed into a bowl after crispy, then poured in boiling oil, then stirred with salt, and dipped in glutinous rice balls or bacon, which was extremely delicious. Cooking fish, mostly sour fish or roasted citronella fish, in addition to making fish chops (that is, grilled fish mashed with coriander and other spices), fish jelly, grilled fish, white sauce eel and so on. When eating crabs, they are usually chopped into crab paste with shell and meat for cooking. Dai people call this crab sauce "crab rice cloth". Bitter gourd is a daily vegetable with the highest yield and consumption. In addition to bitter gourd, Xishuangbanna also has a kind of bitter bamboo shoots, so there is also a bitter taste in Dai flavor. Typical bitter vegetables are cowhide cold dishes cooked with ingredients such as ox gall.

As we all know, the Spring Festival is a traditional festival. The date of the Spring Festival is different every year. For example, this year is February 3, and next year is 65438+1October 23 ... The day of family reunion in the Spring Festival is different in every place. For example, some places eat glutinous rice balls, which means that the family will be round and round in the future; Some places eat jiaozi, meaning: good luck, happy family; Eating rice cakes in some places means that everything goes well every year ... In ancient times, there was a fierce beast called Nian. It will come out at a certain time to catch people to eat, but it is afraid of three things: first, bright red, loud voice and fire. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people all knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household is brightly lit. During the Spring Festival, we will eat New Year's Eve, write Spring Festival couplets, visit relatives and friends, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and greet the God of Wealth on the fifth day. It takes several family members to sit together for dinner and talk about family affairs. It is also a custom to set off firecrackers until 12: 00 at night.
