Views on traditional festivals and foreign festivals

Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China, commonly known as Chinese New Year. For thousands of years, this ancient traditional festival has made the people of China feel reunion, warmth, jubilation and peace. On the first day of the Spring Festival this year, it happened to meet Valentine's Day in the West. On this day, many young people leave their relatives early in the morning, go out of their homes, hold roses and chocolates in their hands, and date their sweethearts. I suddenly feel heavy in the face of those who are keen to celebrate foreign festivals and ignore the traditional festivals in China. In recent years, foreign festivals such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, Christmas Eve and April Fool's Day have been sought after by Chinese people. Those fashionable merchants make the foreign festival earth-shattering, and those young people with strong curiosity make the foreign festival vigorous. It is a kind of sorrow to despise the traditional festivals of this nation! I remember one year during the Dragon Boat Festival, as a journalist of TV station, I took to the streets to interview the news about the topic of Dragon Boat Festival. I didn't expect to meet a ridiculous interviewer. Excuse me, do you know the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival? A: Yes, isn't it just eating zongzi? Q: Do you know who Qu Yuan is? Let me see. Ah, I remember. Qu Yuan seems to be my neighbor. The young man didn't even know that the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It's incredible! The Chinese nation is an ancient civilization with a long history and culture of 5,000 years. During its development, many traditional festivals and customs have emerged. The formation of traditional festivals is also a process of long-term accumulation and cohesion of this country's history and culture. For example, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Valentine's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are all ancient traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. It can be said that every traditional festival embodies a profound national complex, carries a touching historical story, and entrusts the hopes and blessings of the Chinese people. We should cherish and inherit. However, with the passage of time and the opening up of the country, traditional festivals gradually faded, and traditional memories gradually faded. Not only that, but the phenomenon of worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries is endless. Isn't it? A good black hair bleached into yellow hair is considered fashionable; Wearing topless clothes is considered western-style; No one cares about Valentine's Day on Tanabata in China, but on Valentine's Day in the West. Of course, we can absorb the essence of western culture, but it should be on the premise of carrying forward and inheriting China's traditional culture. When the affection of Spring Festival conflicts with the love of foreign festivals, don't forget that we are from China. As descendants of the Chinese nation, should we inherit the traditional culture left by our ancestors from generation to generation?
