Why did modern China like foreign festivals and foreigners didn't like China festivals?

The subject's question is very accurate. Indeed, foreigners in modern times are only festivals of China people. But in ancient times, all neighboring countries celebrated festivals in China. The Kasahara Festival, which is still celebrated in Japan today, is a festival spread from China to Japan. There is also the Dragon Boat Festival, a Korean World Heritage application, which also comes from China. Of course, many countries in Asia also celebrate the Spring Festival, but in modern times, some countries have changed the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival. For example, Japan celebrates the Gregorian New Year. However, Okinawa is still celebrating the Spring Festival, because it has been a territory of China for a long time in history.

Why do ancient foreigners celebrate festivals in China, while modern China people like foreign festivals instead? In my opinion, the main reason is that when a country is strong, it is not only its military, productivity and technology. It is also reflected in the strength of culture. A strong culture will naturally attract the yearning and imitation of neighboring countries. The feudal history of China around 2000 was dominated by the existence of the world superpower. Therefore, neighboring countries naturally advocate the de-nationalization of a powerful China. While studying political systems such as science and technology, customs and cultures such as poetry, songs, costumes and food have also spread to various countries.

In modern times, the superpower America is playing the role of ancient China. Hollywood blockbusters, American fast food, cola and so on are all very popular things in China. With this culture, foreign festivals are naturally included. These are all soft powers and must be based on strong national strength. With the rise of China, China's soft power is slowly recovering its former glory. As Teacher Yuan Tengfei said, "A country with a splendid Zeng family will not decline continuously", and cultural works such as Liu's Three-body and Mo Yan's Nobel Prize for Literature have gradually gained recognition abroad. This was unthinkable 20 years ago. I believe the motherland will get better and better.
