Why don't people in China celebrate Christmas?

There is no explicit stipulation that China people can't celebrate Christmas, but it is really not recommended for everyone to celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is a traditional festival in western countries, which has nothing to do with China people, and the traditional culture it contains has nothing to do with China traditional culture. More importantly, there are many traditional festivals in China itself, so we should attach importance to our own traditional festivals instead of giving enthusiasm to western festivals.

1, Christmas is a traditional festival in the west. In fact, Christmas in the west is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, and it is a day of family reunion in the west. The birth of this festival is inextricably linked with western culture, mainly to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Jesus is a very important figure in the whole western cultural system. Almost all westerners are religious, whether Christians or Catholics, they regard Jesus as a spiritual God.

Most of us in China have no religious beliefs, and we have a shallow understanding of this spiritual thing. But our elders still have religious beliefs, such as Taoism and Buddhism. The mythical figures in these two religions constitute the mythological system of China. Although many people are not religious, they all know these mythical figures to some extent.

If you are interested in Christmas, why not take an interest in the myth of China, which is the simplest ideal of our ancestors.

There are many traditional festivals in China. There are many traditional festivals in China, not only Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, if you look at the history books, you will find that there are various festivals almost every month from the lunar calendar 1 month to1February.

Name a few festivals I know.

Shangsi Festival, the date of young men and women, is equivalent to Valentine's Day in the west. Nowadays, it is good for young people to call the begging festival on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month China Valentine's Day, but it is actually wrong. Shangsi Festival is a traditional Valentine's Day in China. It is a day for young men and women to play together and find the right person.

Then there is the Qiaoqiao Festival, which is actually a festival to celebrate the harvest. On this day, young women will show their needlework and let everyone see that they are a skilled girl. If young people are willing to show their strength, go hunting or something.

China people should attach importance to our own traditional festivals and bring back to our eyes those that are gradually forgotten by us. The wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years, we can't forget it, but pursue what others ancestors have. In fact, Christmas is not interesting, and it is not much different from the traditional festivals in China. Why don't you save energy for China Festival?
