What is the importance of traditional festivals?

Traditional festivals not only change the number of days we have a holiday, but also protect our traditional culture and enhance our understanding of traditional culture through festivals.

Before this, the traditional festival culture in China was seriously lost, and many young people simply didn't know the specific time, customs and culture. Even if there is any big activity that day, it has nothing to do with us. In any case, they must go to school and work that day. Then why do Halloween and Christmas in the west have no holidays, but they are deeply loved by young people? This is actually a kind of curiosity, and there are not as many activities in traditional festivals as in foreign festivals.

We should rationally face foreign cultures, blindly worship foreign things and obsess over foreign things, which is actually very dangerous to China's youthful mentality. The former Soviet Union was peacefully disintegrated by Americans, and cultural aggression contributed greatly.

The hidden meaning behind traditional festivals

Why do we need traditional festivals? Just as many young people like to express their love to Tanabata on Valentine's Day, this day also has different meanings. Similarly, each of our traditional festivals contains the meaning endowed by the 5,000-year-old culture of China.

Just like the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything on this day is round, the moon is round, moon cakes are round, family gatherings are round, and everything is a beautiful symbol, symbolizing the perfection of the year. China people have always been reserved and generally don't express their feelings to their parents, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is not an opportunity to boldly express their love to their families.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave sweeping is a memorial to our ancestors. In recent years, Tomb-Sweeping Day has become popular all over China to worship ancestors. A clansman with a surname came from all over the country to worship, seeking his roots and asking his ancestors. This is actually the embodiment of surname culture in China, a surname and a belief.

Beliefs carried by traditional festivals

Traditional festivals also contain a kind of faith, and the lack of faith also represents the lack of meaning in life. In the eyes of foreign countries, China's greatest skill is Kung Fu, which is undoubtedly Bruce Lee's past contribution to the spread of China culture.

Just like the spread of Korean culture now, they employ the most popular Korean stars as cultural propaganda ambassadors through the promotion of Korean dramas. Let many neighboring countries know their kimchi culture, their own traditional festivals and traditional costumes. In fact, I envy South Korea and Japan for putting on their own clothes with national characteristics on their important festivals. In fact, ethnic minorities in China always wear national costumes on their own festivals, but compared with the Han nationality, they have the widest history but have long lost these.
