Why young people don't pay attention to our traditional festivals and prefer foreign festivals?

Because foreign festivals are really romantic.

Western festivals are more suitable for the current lifestyle, simple, romantic, and in the eyes of the Chinese, Western festivals are a symbol of status and openness. Moreover, Chinese festivals are rooted in the foundation of the Chinese millennium and Confucian culture. Cultural attention is not enough. One of the main mistakes of reform and opening up was neglecting the preservation and inheritance of local culture. Therefore, it is completely normal for this to happen in China during the transition period. In the near future, local culture will be re-established. Paying attention to this phenomenon, people will now increase the protection of local culture and then promote the reform of local festivals to make them more suitable for modern society. After the reform and opening up, various foreign cultures, including foreign festivals, have flooded into China. The rising living standards of the Chinese people have made them not only satisfied with material enjoyment, but also in pursuit of spiritual enjoyment.

Foreign festivals can satisfy people's vanity, and foreign festivals have the characteristics of fashion, excitement, consumption, etc., which is consistent with people's current psychological needs, and therefore win people's favor. Traditional Chinese festivals are outdated and cannot adapt to modern people's psychology of seeking new things and having fun. But after all, Chinese festivals are our traditional culture. We should inherit and develop them, and we must not let foreign festivals drown them. For today's young people, Chinese festivals, traditional and old-fashioned customs are not helpful, just like Peking Opera and Jay Chou, have you ever seen young people who are mesmerized by Peking Opera like Jay Chou? Cultures don't last as long as ours, so their festivals are like foreign fast food. It is fast and it is naturally loved and sought after by young people thanks to the propaganda of adulterers.

People live to be happy, but there are many ways to be happy and joyful, so people want to try to be more happy to enrich themselves and energize their hearts. I didn't try fresh happiness, so I focused more on others who didn't like it. I don't think it's a neglect of Chinese festivals. In fact, traditional festivals are too old. However, traditional Chinese festivals focus more on reunion. Everyone often eats at home and even has a vacation. Foreign festivals usually attract a large group of people who spend time together outdoors and spend the night on the streets. Most of the current society are only children. There is no way to hang out with their peers. Some foreign festivals are just a psychological response to these people, so it feels like there are more western festivals than Chinese ones. Personally, I think that western festivals are indeed much more than Chinese festivals, which is also in line with the psychology of young people.
