How to treat Chinese and foreign traditional festivals in the process of modernization

Tradition, as its name implies, is the past and the old. Therefore, how to treat traditional festivals is how to treat the origin and development of festivals. We should treat this problem with a rational attitude. According to Mao Zedong, we should take its essence and discard its dross. Both foreign and domestic traditional culture has its essence. In the advanced part, don't have a blindly exclusive cultural view, and don't blindly worship foreign cultures. There are always some people who think that foreign things are advanced and our things are backward and should be discarded. These are misunderstandings and extreme practices. Facing the present situation of China, China people are keen on celebrating foreign festivals, which are flourishing, and all the shops are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. On the contrary, the traditional festivals in China are ignored. This is an inevitable phenomenon, a cultural shock under economic globalization, and there is no need to alarmist. China people's mentality is understandable. They first rejected western festivals, then passively accepted them and blindly pursued worship. If they develop further, they will treat the problem rationally. This requires a process, which is to change the mentality of a big country and become more tolerant and rational.
