The impact of Western festivals on traditional Chinese festivals?

The impact of Western festivals on traditional Chinese festivals are:

On the one hand, some experts and scholars have moved to change China's traditional festival that has been inherited for thousands of years - the Spring Festival to February 4, when the society caused a big uproar; on the other hand, the country but a considerable part of the modern, avant-garde On the other hand, a considerable part of the modern, avant-garde, and hip newcomers among the Chinese people are catching up with the fashion of the Westerners, and have celebrated the foreign festivals. In the face of these bizarre, colorful social life, some learned people can not help but send out this question: what happened to the long history of the Chinese nation? What happened to the good and wise Chinese people? What happened to the traditional Chinese culture with a long history? In the end, how should we look at the cultural exchanges between China and the West? Should the Chinese be enamored of Western festivals? Do Westerners worship Chinese festivals as much as we do?

I. With the development of society, Sino-Western cultural exchanges are unstoppable, as an important part of culture, the exchange and integration of festival culture is natural.

The development of modern society is rapidly changing, high-tech science and technology, especially the development of network communication technology has made the "global village" become smaller and smaller. With the development of China's political, economic and diplomatic career, especially after China's accession to the WTO, such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, these East and West cultures blending and violent collision of the international metropolis, the Western cultural concepts and the East's traditional morality in people's daily life is so natural. From this we can see that the Chinese people have some more foreign festivals to express their feelings what is wrong with it? Isn't it true that more and more young people are approaching Christmas and Valentine's Day, and at the same time learning to offer a blessing to the elderly on Mother's Day and Father's Day? Who says that modern material civilization and spiritual civilization is not complementary, multi-cultural **** exist in the complex?

Second, the correct attitude towards a series of Western festivals, should be to adhere to Mr. Lu Xun's "fetishism" principle: the use of the brain, put out the vision, take the essence, discard the dregs, their own to take!

On the question of how to inherit the national cultural heritage, Comrade Mao Zedong has long pointed out that we can neither reject it wholesale nor accept it as it is, but we have to use Marxism-Leninism's historical and dialectical philosophical vision and attitude to assimilate it critically. On the question of how to learn from foreign cultures in the West, as early as the 1930s, Mr. Lu Xun clearly pointed out in his famous political treatise "Fetishism" that we should use our brain marrow, release our vision, and take it ourselves! To sum up the two ends of the spectrum, I believe that the correct attitude towards a series of Western festivals should be: not blind worship, not to lose themselves; neither wholesale westernization, accept everything, nor comprehensively negate the knife and gun; but to take the essence, discard the dregs. Western festivals are influenced by history and religious culture, most of them have obvious religious colors, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and so on. Although most of the religion is to persuade people to be good, but after all, in our country advocate freedom of religion, so it is not good to these festivals to make any hard and fast rules. And for those with the rich romantic mood of the West and in line with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation to respect the old and love the young holiday such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc., we have to vigorously advocate, and strive to promote, in order to continue to improve the quality of the nation, accelerate the process of social civilization!

Three, in the veneration of Western festivals, lively and good foreign festivals at the same time, do not forget to carry forward the Chinese nation's long, excellent holiday cultural traditions, do not lose yourself in the blind worship.

The Chinese nation is a people with a long history, the Chinese people are civilized, wisdom of the people, Chinese culture is a profound culture, especially many traditional festivals and culture, have accumulated a heavy essence of the national culture, the Spring Festival is the Chinese nation's traditional festivals of celebration and reunion, the people worked hard and busy for a year, in the beginning of a new year, visit friends and relatives, each other blessings, looking back, looking forward to the coming year, the young and old, the old and the young. Looking forward to the coming year, young and old, reunion, family happiness, harmony and prosperity, it is how pleasant holiday ah; Ching Ming Festival, we can trekking, sweeping the tomb, in memory of the martyrs of the revolution, send our thoughts on the deceased loved ones; Mid-Autumn Festival is the Spring Festival is followed by another reunion of the family after the Festival, we can once again reunite the whole family under the moon and flowers, appreciate chrysanthemums, eat mooncakes, wine, talk about separation, filial piety and care for elders, love and respect for the younger generation, the family is the most important thing in the Chinese nation. We can once again have a family reunion under the moon and chrysanthemums, eat mooncakes, taste fine wine, talk about farewells, honor our elders, care for our elders, and be happy!

In a sense, these festivals and culture, not only is a time and place to highlight the folk customs, more importantly, it highlights the Chinese people respect for the elderly and love for the young, hard-working and kind, courage and wisdom and other traditional virtues and simple and pure, profound folk culture. These are indispensable! And with the development of the times, the west wind eastward, these cultures or gradually forgotten, or declining, or slowly obliterated, if not in time to salvage the inheritance, carry forward, excavation and development, then, really wait until the day of its complete demise when we have these yellow children still have the face to see our ancestors?

At the same time, the treasure trove of the world's cultural heritage will also leave behind irreparable deficiencies and regrets! Therefore, every responsible, righteous, far-sighted descendants of the Yellow Emperor must stand in the height of history and the world, to understand the problem, the ancient for the modern, foreign for the Chinese, neither pandering to foreigners, not stubbornly stuck in the old ways, but in the absorption of the essence of Western holiday culture at the same time, but also not to lose themselves, is the traditional virtues of the Chinese and the long-lasting national culture of the two wonders of the open, the fragrance of the world!
