How to introduce traditional festivals in China to foreign friends?

As a country with a long history of 5,000 years, China has many traditional cultures of its own. At the same time, these traditional cultures spread in our living habits over time, which can be said to be the essence of the essence. As foreigners, it is difficult for them to understand these traditional cultures clearly by themselves, so we should pay attention to these points when introducing these cultures to foreign friends.

The first point is the lead-in extending inward from the surface. Many traditional cultures are unknown to China people themselves. Therefore, when foreign friends begin to understand some cultures in China, their understanding ability is limited. We start with the traditional culture around us and only talk about the superficial meaning, so that they can understand it better. For example, when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, we only introduce them to the things that they usually eat zongzi in dragon boat races, and don't introduce the allusions behind them yet, because they may not understand.

The second point is to introduce through practice. China's traditional culture usually holds related activities in the streets during festivals. At this time, take your foreign friends to experience it, let them participate, feel the atmosphere, and then introduce it so that they can understand it more easily.

The third point is through books. Books are the ladder of human progress, and their descriptions are more detailed than what we say orally. At the same time, foreign friends can understand many different cultural artistic conceptions through writing. If you don't understand anything, you can explain it to him.

China's traditional culture has a long history, but it is still not easy to really understand it, let alone foreigners, who have found it difficult to learn China's Chinese characters.
