Does the country stipulate that foreign festivals such as Christmas are not allowed?

The state has no regulations that foreign festivals such as Christmas are not allowed. The news circulating on the internet that "the state stipulates that Christmas and other foreign festivals are not allowed" is purely a rumor.

It has been confirmed that the general offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council have 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 should take the lead, and can no longer fool around in these western foreign festivals. "This news is a rumor.

The original text of Article 12 of the Opinions reads: "Carry out the theme activities of' Our Festival', implement the revitalization project of traditional festivals in China, enrich the cultural connotations of traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, and form new holiday customs." The purpose is to revitalize traditional festivals in China, without mentioning western festivals.

Extended data:

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

1. Under the background of globalization, Chinese and western cultures are more and more closely blended and collided, which makes China people naturally contact and accept more western cultures. Compared with the traditional culture in China, western culture is particularly fresh.

2. The lack of traditional culture and 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 the traditional festivals in China.

3. Commercial media hype. Driven by gimmicks and interests, when holidays come, major shopping malls will promote sales under the banner of festivals, and over time, they will also leave a deep impression on people's hearts.
