Why are traditional festivals getting weaker and weaker?
The decline of traditional festivals has much to do with the changes of the times. China has been in an agricultural society for a long time in history. Most of the traditional festivals in China are related to agricultural production, eliminating diseases and disasters, and offering sacrifices to reminisce about the past, which is a portrayal of the ritualization of agricultural civilization. Since the reform and opening up, a large number of China people have been liberated from agricultural production and have gone to study, find jobs and live in cities. China society has also entered the era of industrial civilization from the era of agricultural civilization. Without agricultural society, traditional festivals are divorced from the material and social basis of existence. For example, the third day of the third lunar month, a festival of many ethnic minorities in China, is related to fighting disasters and diseases. Because of the low level of medical technology in traditional agricultural society, people can only pin their hopes on the ceremonies of some festivals. With the unprecedented development of modern medicine, people will no longer use ancient methods to eliminate disasters and diseases, and those traditional festivals that were originally used to eliminate disasters and diseases will naturally be forgotten.
