English composition on China's views on western festivals

Hello: Why do China people go abroad for their holidays?

The atmosphere of traditional festivals in China has dropped sharply and looks dull; In contrast, foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular in China. This has become a fact of life!

Traditional festivals, such as Double Ninth Festival and Qixi Festival, are not as warm as the Dragon Boat Festival. Even during the Spring Festival, they are banned in cities, of course, for safety shoes, but on the other hand, they dodge the fact that some firecrackers are set off during the Spring Festival! ! ! ! ! I don't say it here, I believe everyone has experience.

Speaking of foreign festivals (such as Christmas), at present, it is a young man in his twenties, and students like us can do it, just as he sees what they call Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve and carnival night, and knows the discipline of Santa Claus.

Why do people in China celebrate foreign festivals? The atmosphere of traditional festivals in China has plummeted, indifferent and tasteless; In contrast, foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular in China. This has become an indisputable fact! Traditional festivals, such as Double Ninth Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day and Dragon Boat Festival, don't have much festive atmosphere. Even during the Spring Festival, the city is forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers, of course, for safety reasons, but on the other hand, it also lightens the lively atmosphere of setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival! Not much to say here, I believe everyone has experience. Speaking of foreign festivals (taking Christmas as an example), young people in their twenties, such as college students like us, can tell many treasures such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, carnival night, etc., know that Christmas commemorates Jesus' birthday, know that there is Santa Claus, know that trees should be planted, hang beautiful colored lights and gift bags, and know that sock. In the last week of every year, many young people go to hotels, bars and even churches in droves to participate in Christmas celebrations, and even many young parents take their young children with them to experience the enjoyment of different concepts brought by foreign cultures, which is also a kind of enjoyment.

On the one hand, with the development of China's economy, people's wallets are gradually bulging, and foreign material and spiritual products flow into China, greatly enriching the needs of China people. While enjoying the benefits of foreign goods, they are gradually changing our nation, and our cultural traditions are gradually lost and replaced by new things introduced from abroad. There is nothing wrong with contacting the outside world, but it is wrong to be confused about "where to go and where to stay" when contacting the outside world. On the other hand, in the market economy, in order to maximize profits, merchants aim at this emerging and not completely divided interest growth point, that is, foreign festivals. When the big cakes of traditional festivals such as the Golden Week on May 1 and 11, the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are almost carved up, they continue to speculate, resulting in the phenomenon that advertisements related to this can be seen everywhere every Valentine's Day and Christmas. This also has a good side, that is, it can expand domestic demand, increase consumption and stimulate economic growth. However, it also has negative effects, accelerating the loss of traditional culture. "In-depth study shows that there are several reasons for the popularity of foreign festivals: First, China people are seriously lacking in faith. Muslims can't celebrate Christmas, and Buddhists won't attend. Only people without faith will celebrate festivals that have nothing to do with sects. Second, the greed for foreign countries plays a role in China. Christmas is almost all over the world, which is great; Christmas is popular in Europe and America, which is called foreign. Third, China people have seriously deviated from tradition. The Spring Festival has gradually faded, and traditional festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are even less worth mentioning. " I quite agree with the above three points!

It can be seen that there are many reasons for the popularity of foreign festivals in China, mainly referring to Christian festivals. But in fact, any Christian festival has nothing to do with most people in China. Although there are a few Christians, on the whole, our nation has no historical tradition of believing in Christianity. At the same time, the globalization of politics and economy has also caused the global spread of superior culture, affecting every corner of the world to varying degrees. There is a saying that Christmas is no longer a religious festival, but a festival all over the world regardless of nationality or country. I am afraid that only Christians and people deeply influenced by Christianity will agree with this statement, and Muslims resolutely oppose and refute this statement. In China, even people who are keen on Christmas plays may not think that Christmas is not a religious holiday. Therefore, cultural things are different from politics and economy, and maintaining the characteristics of our nation lies in maintaining its cultural traditions. Foreign things can be borrowed and absorbed, but the premise is to keep their own quality unchanged, instead of "changing one by one" and replacing it!
