How to carry forward China tradition through festivals?

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.
