Definition of traditional festivals in China

Chinese virtues are well known, and allusions such as "Kong Rong and Li Rang" all reflect the supreme virtues of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years, which shows that the Chinese nation is a cultural capital. But today, Chinese virtue seems to have been forgotten by people, and people turn a blind eye to it. As the saying goes, this road is abandoned by today.

Every country has its own unique traditional culture, and China is no exception. Chinese virtue is a unique treasure in all cultures. We are all from China, so it is natural to inherit a generous gift from our ancestors. Just as we are from China, we must speak Chinese. A harmonious society needs Chinese virtues to fill this empty world, otherwise our life will become dull, which is exactly what Chinese virtues give us, a China heart.

Think about this famous saying: forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal. If you really abandon Chinese virtues, you are betraying the ancestors of the Chinese nation. Although this is an increasingly progressive society, it is not because progress can abandon Chinese virtues like garbage. And then blindly pursue foreign culture, while the culture of your hometown is indifferent? So, are you a descendant of the dragon or a real dragon? If so, how can you be a foreign donkey willingly?

Ah! Let's keep a pure China heart and a China heart with Chinese virtues! Always remember that you are from China, and you should learn from China culture and China virtue!

Uncle Lei Feng always deserves our respect, because he has many Chinese virtues that we don't have. Everyone can have Chinese virtues. The key is to see if you want to have them. Unite your classmates and you will have Chinese virtues. Modest and studious, you will have Chinese virtues; Wash your parents' feet once, and you also have Chinese virtues ... Chinese virtues are subtle, and you can only find them by doing it with your heart.

It is imperative to carry forward Chinese virtues and build a harmonious society. This is an action to protect China culture. Let's protect that China heart, and don't let it lose its former elegance with the passage of time! Please don't just look to the future and forget the past. There are many places worth learning and remembering in the past!

China's traditional culture is a national culture that reflects national characteristics and features, and it is the overall expression of various ideological cultures and ideologies in national history. It refers to the culture with distinctive national characteristics, a long history, profound connotations and excellent traditions created by the Chinese nation and its ancestors living in China. It is the crystallization of thousands of years of civilization in China.

Other ancient civilizations in the world have experienced large-scale civilization faults, and even flourished and declined. Only the Chinese civilization, despite vicissitudes and hardships, has been passed down in ups and downs, which shows that Chinese culture has strong vitality. Folk culture with traditional festivals as the basic carrier is a symbol that distinguishes the Chinese nation from other nationalities and a great motive force for the Chinese nation to live endlessly. Inheriting and carrying forward the rich and excellent cultural traditions in traditional festivals can promote national identity, unite people's hearts, stimulate the will of the country, reverse the lack of integrity and moral anomie of some social members, and help maintain social stability and harmony.

Under the condition of globalization, the competition of comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce, and cultural conflicts and cultural competition are becoming increasingly prominent, which poses a severe challenge to China's soft power with culture as the core. With the peaceful rise of China, the Chinese nation is moving towards an all-round rejuvenation. While integrating into the world and absorbing the world's advanced culture, it is very important to carry forward its own excellent traditional culture, carry forward the core values of Chinese culture and improve the quality of the people. Compared with Hongkong, the traditional festivals in the Mainland, including Tomb-Sweeping Day, have not been listed as legal holidays, and the festive atmosphere has gradually faded, which is a worrying phenomenon.

The loss of traditional culture is not only manifested in filial piety culture, but also in the loss of honesty and morality, the core content of China traditional culture. Confucius said, "People without faith don't know what they can do." Paying attention to honesty is not only the foundation of a person, but also an important embodiment of the quality of the people. In recent years, the social security problems in the Mainland are prominent, various fraud cases emerge one after another, fake and shoddy products are repeatedly banned, food safety problems occur from time to time, businessmen lack business ethics, doctors lack medical ethics, teachers lack professional ethics and so on. On the surface, it seems to be a problem of economic and social governance, but fundamentally speaking, it is still a problem of honesty and morality, and it is a problem of the loss of traditional culture.

China culture stresses propriety, righteousness, honesty, shame, loyalty and filial piety. The "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" put forward by President Hu Jintao inherited the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and injected the characteristics of the times. This is instructive to the revival of traditional culture in Hong Kong and the Mainland. Only when the people inherit and carry forward the excellent advanced culture and become a common practice can the country and the nation truly prosper.
