The reasons why traditional festivals fade out of people's field of vision

In my opinion, the fading out of traditional festivals is related to the implementation of the Gregorian calendar and the separation from the agricultural society. Agricultural society is dominated by farming, and many festivals are related to agriculture. Without an agricultural society, these festivals will gradually disappear. Not only in China, but also many traditional festivals abroad are slowly disappearing. The rest of the festivals were developed in the industrial age. Moreover, to be honest, traditional festivals have not faded out of people's horizons, but have faded out of the horizons of urbanites. In the countryside, it's basically over. But with the gradual disappearance of the countryside, these things will gradually disappear, and some new festivals will be born, such as Singles Day. It may be a bit ridiculous now, but it may become a traditional festival after a long time. This is the way of the times, crushing the old. Create a new.
