Why does the state stipulate that foreign festivals such as Christmas are not allowed?

There is no national regulation that foreign festivals such as Christmas are not allowed. The news circulating on the internet that "the state stipulates that foreign festivals such as Christmas are not allowed" is purely a rumor.

It has been confirmed that the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Implementing the Inheritance and Development Project of Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture, and issued a notice requesting all localities and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of the actual situation. For Valentine's Day, Easter, April Fool's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other western' foreign festivals', party member cadres will take the lead, and we can no longer muddle through these western foreign festivals. "The news is a rumor.

the original statement of article 12 of the opinions is: "Carry out the theme activities of' Our Festival' in depth, implement the revitalization project of traditional festivals in China, enrich the cultural connotations of traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, and form new holiday customs." The aim is to revitalize the traditional festivals in China, and there is no mention of western festivals.

Extended information:

The prevalence of foreign festivals in China is mainly influenced by the following factors:

1. Under the background of globalization, Chinese people will naturally contact and accept more western cultures, which is particularly fresh compared with the traditional culture of China.

2. The lack of traditional cultural education makes many people lack understanding of the historical origin and cultural connotation of traditional festivals in China. Without knowledge, they will naturally pay insufficient attention to traditional festivals in China.

3. The hype of business media. Driven by gimmicks and interests, when it comes to holidays, major shopping malls will use the banner of festivals to promote sales, and over time, they will also leave a deep impression on people's hearts.
