Have the traditional festivals in China really deteriorated?

Personally, I think, for example, the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the great ancient poet Qu Yuan. Although there is still this meaning in it, it has been sublimated into holiday connotation and exists. Dragon Boat Festival has become a custom and tradition after a certain period of time. If you ask the reason for the Dragon Boat Festival, you may answer that it is to commemorate Qu Yuan, but if you ask the reason for eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not to commemorate Qu Yuan, but to celebrate family reunion. So there is no saying that festivals will change with the development of the times. It doesn't matter whether the wedding is really lucky or not. This is a tradition, whether it is true or not.
