Documents prohibiting foreign festivals by the state.

The document that the state forbids foreign festivals: it is false.

The General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council did issue this document on 2065438+2007125 October. This document was issued by the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council for the purpose of building a socialist cultural power, enhancing the country's cultural soft power and realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Opinions put forward specific requirements on how to carry out the inheritance and development project of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and it is a guiding document.

After reading the full text, this guidance document does not mention "prohibiting foreign festivals" or "opposing foreign festivals". The menacing "Notice of the Central Committee on Banning Foreign Festivals" on the Internet is an out-and-out rumor.

The significance of foreign festivals:

All cultures, including foreign cultures, need to accept realistic needs and future development choices. What is considered essential today may not be tomorrow.

Any tradition, only when it has the function of gestating new life, will exist independently of human will and show its value. Otherwise, it will die out in life, and artificial hopes will be preserved or carried forward, which can only prove backwardness.

But all the cultural phenomena that have happened have their historical position and value. Culture and civilization are similar in meaning. I remember Lin Yutang said: "Civilization is the total achievement of human progress". Culture and civilization are staged, and what remains today can be said to be all the achievements that happened in the past.

We attach too much importance to the cultural phenomena in front of us, including foreign festivals. In fact, it is often only because of some factors that it is given a stage for performance. All kinds of cultural phenomena that are happening today, even if they are very obvious or rampant, will become passers-by in historical choice after playing a certain role.

Festivals may be a cultural phenomenon that has existed for a longer time than any other festivals, and it is unpredictable whether festivals themselves will accompany human beings forever. Today's China people (not all, mainly a large number of young people) like to celebrate foreign festivals, because the culture of developed areas has had an impact on emerging countries in the process of economic globalization, just like the enthusiasm of foreign countries to run Confucius Institutes, which is precisely an interaction.

Under the open conditions, it is usually a relatively developed area, which has a great influence on relatively underdeveloped areas. In the later period after the reform and opening-up, as fashionable goods spread all over China and Cantonese was introduced to the north, many people began to imitate Cantonese. This cultural image has also been reflected in the CCTV Spring Festival Evening.

This is because Guangdong is at the forefront of reform and opening up, and its economy is the first to rise. With the rapid development of reform and opening up in various places, economic development has its own advantages, and the mutual influence and infiltration of cultures have weakened this cultural phenomenon.
