On the role of folk traditional festivals in the inheritance of national culture in contemporary society.

As an important heritage of national culture, traditional festivals have an important function of inheriting traditional civilization in contemporary society. First of all, traditional festivals are important carriers of cultural traditions, which carry and convey traditions. People make use of traditional festivals to regularly perform traditional performances and traditional education, so that traditions can be continued and strengthened in people's lives. Tradition is sometimes hidden behind life and in people's hearts. People should choose a specific and special time to show it. People can consciously understand and accept the tradition through various festivals and customs, so as to realize the inheritance of the tradition. Secondly, the biggest feature of festivals is their periodic reappearance. The periodic reappearance of traditional festivals provides a powerful guarantee for us to strengthen national cultural traditions. Traditional festivals are conservative and strengthen traditions. With the periodic appearance of folk festivals, people are constantly divorced from the daily secular time and space, returning to the sacred historical time and space, facing their ancestors directly, revisiting and appreciating the tradition repeatedly, and drawing new cultural strength from it. Third, traditional festivals provide important opportunities for traditional innovation and development. Tradition depends on family and social inheritance, among which festivals are important time carriers. Different eras have different emphases on the knowledge and understanding of tradition. While inheriting cultural traditions, people constantly give them new interpretations, which often constitute new traditional connotations. For example, the core of our cultural tradition in China is harmony, emphasizing the harmony between ancient people and gods, and between people and families. However, in the process of historical development, people constantly create spiritual connection between ordinary people and historical figures with noble sentiments in festival activities, and create emotional connection between people and neighbors in village blocks. In contemporary traditional festivals, people re-emphasize the harmony between man and nature and between man and society. In the fast-paced modern life, people have rediscovered the traditional meaning of human nature, and getting close to nature and people around them is becoming the central content of modern leisure life. The reason why contemporary western thinkers are interested in China's pre-Qin Confucianism and Taoism lies in people's re-understanding of tradition.
