What is the significance of traditional festivals?

There are many traditional festivals in China. When these festivals come, people hold various activities to celebrate their arrival. What is the significance of traditional festivals? Let's get to know each other.

1, continue the history. China culture is the only uninterrupted culture among the four ancient cultures in the world. However, it must be admitted that the history of China, especially the traditional civilization, has actually broken to some extent. So in fact, Chinese festivals are very important.

2. Increase national cohesion. China people should have their own language and festivals, which are all cultures. China's traditional culture is a solid foundation for maintaining national unity.

3. Promote traditional culture, enhance national soft power and enhance competitiveness in the world. GDP alone cannot guarantee that this country is an advanced country. After the ideological struggle, the conflict between different civilizations will become the main reason for the struggle of different nationalities and forces in this world. The influence of a country on the world is directly proportional to the strength of its cultural power.

4. China traditional festivals condense the national spirit and feelings of the Chinese nation, bear the cultural blood and ideological essence of the Chinese nation, are the spiritual ties for safeguarding national unity, national unity and social harmony, and are valuable resources for building advanced socialist culture. Traditional festivals take love as a link and show the power of unity. Show strong nostalgia, affection or love. For example, Tomb-Sweeping Day worships ancestors and remembers martyrs, which is also a love festival for some ethnic minorities; The Dragon Boat Festival is when the married daughter goes back to her mother's house, and the engaged young man goes to her mother-in-law's house to pay homage. Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival. There is a full moon in the sky and half in the world. I hope everyone can get together.

Festivals in our country have strong cohesion and extensive inclusiveness, which are celebrated all over the country as soon as they are over. They are in the same strain as our nation's long history and are valuable spiritual and cultural heritage.
