Traditional festivals: inheritance &; Innovation?

Problem description:

China is a vast country with a splendid civilization of 5,000 years. We have too much capital to be proud of. From primary school, the first sentence in our textbooks is "I'm from China". The Chinese nation is a great nation and a respectable one.

But looking back at history, what has such an excellent nation experienced? Eight-Nation Alliance is unscrupulous in Beijing; The British and French allied forces robbed them of everything they could, and a fire destroyed the world-famous Yuanmingyuan; When the Japanese invaded China, the tiny country actually "ran wild" on the leader, with Nanjing as its capital, and 300,000 civilians died tragically under the butcher's knife of the invaders ... The humiliating history made China lag behind for a whole century, which is precisely the gap with the superpower-the United States.

Now, with the torrent of reform and opening up, China has opened its doors to the international market. This has indeed brought a lot of economic benefits. Practice has proved the correctness of reform and opening up. China's economy has overcome the test and is moving towards an extremely bright future.

What about the culture of China?

Take festivals as an example. How many teenagers remember that Christmas is 65438+February 25th, but don't remember when the Double Ninth Festival is; I remember that Valentine's Day was in February of 14, but I forgot the day when the cowherd and the weaver girl met. Remember April Fool's Day and Halloween, but ignore Dragon Boat Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day. All this, should we put the young people in China in an acceptable place, or should we say that they forget their roots?

Should we do something for the inheritance of Chinese civilization and the complete preservation of splendid culture?

Friends, traditional festivals are the essence of traditional culture. We should not forget our roots while developing our economy.

Now, tell me what you want to say, like-minded comrades!

Analysis:

Your question is very good. Young people nowadays are basically divided into two groups. One group likes to celebrate foreign festivals, while the other group tends to celebrate traditional festivals in China. War of words often breaks out between the two factions. Those who like foreign festivals are said to be in line with international standards and refuse to lag behind; People who like traditional festivals claim to protect the fine traditions of the country and the nation.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, both factions have their own reasons and shortcomings.

We have eaten too much and don't want to eat any more. We must not be as conservative as before. But if you abandon your fine tradition in order to catch up with the trend. In the end, they will only become people with no past, and such a country and nation will never become a world power.

I think we should, like all rivers run into the sea, pay attention to protecting the original traditional festivals while integrating foreign festivals into national life.

Besides, I don't agree with the fifth floor. We celebrate the foreign festival not to please foreigners, but to better integrate into the world. From an economic point of view, we are making foreigners' money by crossing the foreign festival; From a political point of view, the festival is only for the purpose of diplomatic courtesy to foreigners; From a national point of view, foreign festivals are just to understand how people outside live. This has nothing to do with war. Besides, if we really fight, will we China people still be afraid of him?
