Christmas is obviously a foreign holiday. Why is it developing so well in China?

Although Christmas is a western festival, it is very popular in our country. This is because of the influence of the mutual spread of Chinese and western cultures. While China's Spring Festival culture influences western solar terms, western festivals are also influencing China's culture and people. Besides, Christmas is now a holiday for businessmen and young people. I think it is popular in China for the following reasons:

First, young people's unconventional psychology Nowadays, many young people have brought western festivals and cultures to China because they have studied in the West. For example, Christmas is the New Year in the West. But for us in China, we didn't pay attention to it at first. But as more and more young people begin to celebrate Christmas; Now every Christmas, there are more and more Christmas decorations on the street, and there are more and more Santas.

In these people's minds, foreign festivals are always particularly fun, thus ignoring our inherent traditional festivals. For example, Valentine's Day has been held abroad, but we have neglected our traditional Valentine's Day in China.

Second, the hype of many businesses and shopping malls. In order to increase their sales, many businesses will try their best to use solar terms to do activities; There will be activities not only in traditional festivals in China, but also in those festivals abroad. And Christmas is a holiday that is gradually consumed by everyone in the process of vigorous publicity by businesses.

Around Christmas, major shopping malls will play Christmas songs, decorate some Christmas trees and do some Christmas promotions to attract people to shop.

3. Infiltration of Western Culture With the increase of our international exchanges and cooperation, many western cultures, diets and festivals are slowly flowing to China. Under such circumstances, Christmas has entered China and our lives, which is also an important reason why Christmas is popular in China.

Therefore, from the above three aspects, it can be said that the popularity of Christmas has both accidental and inevitable factors. But personally, I don't think it is necessary to attach too much importance to western festivals. What we should really pay attention to is our own traditional festivals.
