1. These traditional customs condense the essence of traditional culture.

Like the dragon boat race, the customs of making zongzi, making sachets, inserting mugwort leaves, drinking realgar and laying eggs are also indispensable contents of the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, which further enriches the cultural connotation of the traditional festival and is not just a form or ceremony. In the historical evolution and sublation of hundreds or even thousands of years, traditional festivals condense the essence of traditional culture and show the spiritual temperament of a nation.

Second, these traditional customs have played a cohesive and cohesive role in continuing the tradition.

The customs and legends in festivals have shaped a nation's historical memory and played a role in condensing and continuing the tradition.

Second, these traditional customs are of great significance for continuing the blood of Chinese culture, maintaining the harmony of national culture and realizing the great rejuvenation of the nation.

The reality faced by traditional festival customs

Traditional festivals with profound cultural connotations and great significance are often reduced to "pure festivals". However, more often, the traditional festivals in China are "cold" and "hit a wall".

A few days ago, a media survey found that most of the Dragon Boat Festival sachets on the market now have problems such as rough workmanship and outdated design. Even most sachets are no longer wrapped with carefully selected spices, but simply stuffed with cotton. It is a pity that the sachet, which once had profound cultural connotation, is only superficial now.

This also shows from one side that traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival are increasingly unable to attract young fans, and there is even the danger of being "out of date" from this era. 520 "Goddess Festival", "Double Eleven Shopping Street" and other emerging festivals have surpassed the traditional festivals.
