How to improve college students' attention to traditional culture

In recent years, under the influence of the international tide and the hype of some media and businesses, "foreign festivals" such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Easter have attracted more and more young people from China Literary Federation. China people began to immerse themselves in the carnival of western festivals, while traditional festivals in China, such as Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Double Ninth Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, lost their original luster. People only pay attention to their forms when celebrating traditional festivals, such as eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival and eating moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. While we are gradually indifferent to the traditional festivals in China, foreigners gradually like and attach importance to the traditional festivals in China. The Dragon Boat Festival in China was introduced to Korea, Japan, North Korea and other countries a long time ago, and they are still enjoying the festival. The Dragon Boat Festival in Gangneung, South Korea, has been approved to be protected as the nationalNo. 13 "masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of mankind", attracting millions of people at home and abroad to participate and visit every year. Many college students often have a little knowledge of the origin and customs of traditional festivals, which makes the most basic reasons for the existence of traditional festivals vague.

First, the current problems of traditional festivals

(A) life pressure is too great, afraid of holidays. With the development of economy and the acceleration of people's life rhythm, more and more people demand too much of themselves. The unsatisfactory real life leads many people to face greater pressure and even panic on such a special day.

(2) Expectations for traditional festivals are reduced, and festivals become routine.

College students nowadays can't imagine their parents' generation. Their living standard is very low, and the family is looking forward to the holidays and can improve their food. But now with the improvement of economic level, college students' daily meals are higher than in the past, but people's expectations for traditional festivals are less. Now people's living standards have improved, but the competitive pressure has also increased accordingly. People who rush about all day for study and life have little enthusiasm for creating a festive atmosphere.

(3) Festivals of comparison, entertainment and gift giving make people feel timid.

The economic burden, affection, friends, entertainment, excessive entertainment and other factors brought by the festival make people feel ill about the festival. For many people, the festival is a kind of pressure, a kind of burden and a kind of helplessness.

(4) Traditional festivals cannot keep pace with the times in the trend of modernization.

Most of the traditional festivals in China come from agricultural civilization, which are linked with ancestor worship, exorcism and filling the stomach. This cultural origin and traditional form also make the cheerful atmosphere of traditional festivals in China lack some romance, which is somewhat out of place with modern China people who are rich and pursue life taste and spiritual pleasure. Contemporary college students know less and less about traditional culture. With the improvement of living standards, many people have moved into cities, which is aggravated by their unfamiliarity with the countryside, which makes this phenomenon worrying.

(5) With the invasion of western festivals, Chinese people lack the awareness of protecting traditional festivals.

The influx of Western festivals into China has seriously impacted the traditional folk culture of China, and the folk culture of many ethnic groups is gradually disappearing. Nowadays, college students blindly follow the trend and lack the ability to get the best from the rough. Under the impact of fame and wealth and material desires in modern society, college students' attention can easily be diverted to various entertainment projects. Few students have the interest and patience to respect and inherit the essence of China traditional culture. Modern people's feelings are becoming more and more indifferent, and they lack previous expectations and hopes for traditional festivals in China. When traditional festivals come, they are more afraid and helpless, and perfunctory and snubbing traditional festivals is a kind of performance.

Second, the way to solve the problem

(1) Pay attention to the traditional festivals in China, starting with the government, and then appropriately increase the traditional festivals as statutory festivals.

China is one of the countries with the most festivals in the world. According to statistics, there are more than 160 influential festivals in various ethnic areas in China. The profound Chinese civilization has created a rich and colorful festival culture. Respect people's customs and habits, and appropriately increase traditional festivals as legal festivals.

The government plays a key role in the inheritance and protection of traditional culture. Regarding the propaganda and legislation of traditional festivals in China, the government, legislature and propaganda department should take urgent measures to reproduce them. Not only the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have legal holidays, but other large-scale traditional festivals should be included in the national legal holidays.

(2) Dig deep into the cultural connotation.

Traditional festivals in China contain rich humanistic spirit, which should be vigorously explored and promoted. In order to make the national cultural resources fresh and eternal, we must also find a platform to cultivate the internal driving force-enlightenment-national education at the national level and personal practice at the micro level on the basis of external secular forces. National education makes national cultural resources have a widely recognized social value scale and become an integral part of national cultural values; Personalized cultivation and family planning provide a channel for national cultural factors to sneak into people's daily lives and then "moisten things quietly". Cultural resources that can take root and sprout in the individual mind are powerful "sacred bodies" that do not sway with the passage of time.

Professor Chen Jing, director of the Folk Art Research Office of Nanjing University, who has devoted himself to the protection of traditional culture in China for many years, recently said: "It is of great significance to tap the cultural connotations of traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival to enhance national cohesion and national soft power and promote the prosperity and development of Chinese culture."

"A nation without tradition is a nation without a future, and a nation without tradition is a nation without a future." Chen Jing emphasized that the traditional festivals in China contain important cultural and historical details, are important manifestations of national cohesion and national cohesion, and are an important part of national culture. National culture is the root of a nation, and the root cannot be forgotten.

(3) Strengthen media publicity and popularize folk culture.

The media should first attach importance to folk culture and study it well. Folk culture itself is a non-verbal thing. How to systematize non-verbal things through the media and make the introduction of folk culture into a series of systematic things is a kind of cultural accumulation. Through our media, we should quickly shoot and rescue things that are about to disappear, and carefully report and guide things that are still being passed down. First of all, we should introduce traditional folk customs.
