What is the positive significance of the inheritance and further development of traditional festivals

Traditional festivals, as an important heritage of national culture, have an important function of passing on traditional civilization in contemporary society.

First of all, traditional festivals are important carriers of cultural traditions, which carry and transmit traditions. People make use of traditional festivals to regularly perform and educate about traditions, so that traditions can be continued and strengthened in people's lives. Tradition is sometimes hidden in the back of life, hidden in the depths of people's minds, people have to choose a specific special time to show it, people through a variety of festivals and activities, in the learning by ear, consciously understand, accept the tradition, so as to realize the transmission and inheritance of tradition.

Secondly, the biggest feature of the festival is the recurrence of the cycle, the recurrence of the cycle of traditional festivals provides a strong guarantee for us to strengthen the national cultural traditions, traditional festivals conservative and strengthen the tradition. The periodic appearance of folk festivals, people are constantly out of the daily secular space and time, back to the sacred history of space and time, directly facing their ancestors, repeatedly revisit the tradition, the taste of tradition, from which to draw new cultural strength.

Third, traditional festivals provide an important opportunity for the innovation and development of traditions. Traditions depend on family and society, and festivals are an important time carrier. The knowledge and understanding of traditions varies from era to era, and when people pass on cultural traditions, they constantly give them new interpretations, which often constitute new traditional connotations. For example, the core of our Chinese cultural tradition is harmony, which in ancient times favored the harmony between man and God, and man and his family. However, in the course of historical development, people have continued to create spiritual connections between ordinary people and historical figures with noble sentiments, and emotional connections between people and their neighbors in village neighborhoods during festivals. In contemporary traditional festivals, people are re-enforcing the harmony between man and nature and man and society. In the fast-paced life of modernization, people are rediscovering the human significance of tradition, and closeness to nature and people around them is becoming the central concern of modern leisure life. The reason why contemporary Western thinkers have taken a keen interest in China's pre-Qin Confucianism and Taoism lies in people's re-cognition of tradition.
