The same is a major holiday, why foreign countries are still grand while China's traditional festivals have gradually lost their flavor?

In recent years, Chinese people seem to have more and more festivals, Chinese festivals, foreign festivals, public service festivals, commercial festivals, check the calendar, almost every week there are different names "festival". The same is a major holiday, why foreign countries are still grand, we have lost the flavor?

First of all, it is the reason for the time, for example, our August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival, the country will be on vacation, but because in the field, especially the distance is relatively far away, back to the words, basically need a day, whether it is a traffic jam or rest are very inconvenient. What should we do then? Congratulate on the phone, send a red envelope, that's fine! Otherwise, just make a video, chat, and know that it's all good with each other! The lack of time has caused some major holidays to be flavorless.

The second thing is the popularity of the Internet. Why get together before, because of the abundance of time. Nowadays, life is very stressful and we all feel the preciousness of time. There are times when working overtime is for their own better realization of wealth on freedom. So, how should one get in touch with their family? With the popularity of the internet, video calls are always possible, as long as the other party has internet! Then, the result is a holiday, not a very long vacation, then the video can say it, as can see people, as can know is not very good!

The third is the publicity of the business. Think about it, three holidays in January, will you have holiday fatigue? Would you care so much about this holiday? Merchants create holidays hard for the sake of sales. The result is a national carnival, everyone's energy in these festivals, the traditional charm of the holiday will inevitably be diluted, because people's energy is always limited! Don't you think so?

Of course, I don't agree that major festivals that are valued in the West are not valued by us. For example, Christmas in the West is very important to them. Our Chinese New Year, we value it just as much! We value it far more than the West, it's not like: money or no money, go home for the New Year! This shows that we also attach great importance to our traditional festivals, what do you think?
