The Relationship between Tradition and Modern Civilization

With the rapid arrival of globalization, standardization is dangerous, and you will find that enterprises like Starbucks and McDonald's are replacing local companies and customs everywhere. I think that although ordinary people, especially young people, welcome new things, it is also important to protect and promote traditional culture.

One is the traditional culture of China, such as martial arts, Peking Opera, China calligraphy and tea culture. With China's entry into the World Trade Organization and becoming a powerful economic and trade force, the world is becoming more and more interested in the history and culture of China. In order to meet this need, the government has established more than 65,438,000 Confucius Institutes abroad to show China's cultural heritage. Secondly, the government realized the importance of traditional festivals in China, shortened the May Day holiday and reintroduced ancient festivals such as Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival, which helped to remind people to respect their ancestors and remember the great heroes of the past.

In a word, the development of Confucius Institutes abroad and the promotion of China traditional festivals in China emphasize the growing importance of China traditional culture and its relevance today.
