Did South Korea apply for the Dragon Boat Festival? What do you think if it is you?

It was somewhat unexpected that South Korea’s Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival was approved as a “Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.” However, South Korea's successful application relies on its own protection and attention. From this point of view, we cannot compare.

The Dragon Boat Festival will not be ignored because of foreign festival culture, nor will it be ignored because of the depth of feelings, nor will the national character of culture be ignored because of the excuse of cultural openness. Regardless of whether the feelings for the Dragon Boat Festival are deep or shallow, regardless of the intangible effects of globalization. Cultural heritage is the wealth shared by all mankind. We must resolutely defend our traditional festivals! Because South Korea’s experience of protecting the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival tells us how valuable it is for a country to change its attitude towards local culture. Therefore, South Korea's application is also an incentive, motivating people to protect the "heritage" of their ancestors and realize their preciousness.
