In China, how do we usually celebrate foreign festivals?

Question 1: How to deal with Western festivals I think there are several points:

First, respect Western festivals, learn from Western culture. Western festivals are influenced by history and religious culture, most of them have obvious religious colors, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and so on. Religion is mostly to persuade people to be good, and their good things can promote our progress. For those with the rich romantic mood of the West and in line with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation to respect the old and love the young festival such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving Day, we should vigorously advocate, and strive to promote, in order to continuously improve our own quality, accelerate the process of social civilization!

Secondly, looking at these foreign festivals, the connotation should be heavier than the external form. For example, on the eve of Christmas, students in the streets and alleys as well as major shopping malls can feel a strong Christmas atmosphere - for example, in the hall on the first floor of the Smile Hall, there are full of sweets and gifts of the Christmas tree, Santa Claus is kind and lovely, and a good sound of Christmas caroling, etc. These are the external manifestations of the Christmas season. These are the outward manifestations of Christmas. Do you know how "Christmas" came about? When did it emerge? Which colors are Christmas colors? (Raise your hand if you can basically answer these three questions.) Unfortunately, only a few students have explored these deeper, culturally relevant questions. The name "Christmas" is an abbreviation for "Christian Mass". We celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus, hence the name Jesus Day. This was established by the Christian Church in the middle of the 5th century. Christmas was originally a Christian holiday, but because people attach great importance to it, it has become a national holiday, is the biggest festival of the year in Western countries, similar to the Spring Festival in China. Westerners use red, green and white as the Christmas colors, and when Christmas comes, every house will be decorated with Christmas colors. Not only Christmas, other foreign festivals also contain a lot of historical and cultural background and customs, I hope that students in the view of these festivals do not just stay on the surface, but more attention to the cultural connotation, only then you can better enjoy the fun.

Furthermore, in the lively and bustling over the good foreign festivals at the same time, do not forget to carry forward the excellent festivals and cultural traditions of the Chinese people, our traditional festivals should also adhere to, retain and carry forward. Chinese culture is a profound culture, especially many traditional festivals and cultures, have accumulated the essence of the heavy national culture: for example, the Spring Festival is the Chinese nation's traditional festivals of celebration and reunion! Qingming Festival is a festival for trekking, sweeping tombs, remembering revolutionary martyrs, and sending our condolences to our deceased relatives; Dragon Boat Festival is dedicated to commemorating the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Mid-Autumn Festival, we can once again family reunion in front of the flowers and the moon, their happy, happy! ...... In a sense, these festivals and culture, highlighting not only the folk customs of a certain time and place, but more importantly, it highlights the Chinese people respect for the elderly and love for the young, hard-working and kind-hearted, brave and wise traditional virtues and simple and pure, profound folk culture. But with the development of the times, these traditions and culture gradually forgotten, or declining, if not rescued in a timely manner, inheritance, promotion, then, really wait until the day of its complete demise, will leave an irreparable lack of regret! Therefore, every responsible, righteous, visionary sons and daughters of the Yellow Emperor must stand in the height of history and the world to recognize this problem, the ancient for the modern, foreign for the Chinese, neither foreign ***, nor stubborn, but in the appropriate absorption of the essence of the Western holiday culture.

Finally, with Mr. Lu Xun in his political theory of the famous "fetishism" in a famous sentence to summarize the view of Western festivals we should hold the attitude: we have to use the marrow of the brain, put out the vision, take the essence, discard the dregs, their own to take!

Question 2: How to correctly treat Western holidays Not long ago, we just finished Halloween, Thanksgiving and other Western festivals, 2016 Christmas is in front of us again. Many people in accordance with Western customs, Christmas Eve, Christmas and other foreign festivals, the degree of enthusiasm is sometimes even more than the traditional holidays, the influence of foreign cultures can not be underestimated, how should we look at this phenomenon?

The influence of culture is closely related to the country's comprehensive national power, and for a long time, the strong comprehensive national power of the West has made the Western culture in China has an extraordinary influence. In the world of increasingly frequent cultural exchanges and exchanges, the Chinese people over Christmas, the Westerners over the Spring Festival, are a normal phenomenon of cultural exchanges. In particular, Chinese culture has a strong integrative force, and it is normal to exchange and mingle with other cultures.

Festivals are an important way of carrying culture and an important means of cultural transmission. Today's many Chinese people have foreign festivals, but do not know the culture carried by foreign festivals, just know that is a Western holiday, many businessmen but also foreign festivals as an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to promote products, many young people are also a holiday as an excuse to vent, relax. The culture contained in this festival has not really formed, remove the cultural bearer of the festival is no vitality, which contains the cultural invasion of just have a symbolic.

How to deal with the Chinese people over foreign festivals, should take the essence, discard the dregs, to distinguish between treatment: such as Father's Day and other connotations of thanksgiving, in line with the Chinese tradition of respect for the elderly and love for the young, can be advocated to promote the process of civilization; the other some of the other, such as Halloween, the religious color is too strong, it should be light and dealt with.

In fact, so that people do not Western festivals, the root of the traditional Chinese culture to enhance the influence of the country, so that people live every traditional festival. Each of our traditional festivals full of symbolism, Qingming Festival to send condolences, remembering ancestors; Dragon Boat Festival to pay tribute to Qu Yuan, reverence for patriotism; Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, family reunion; Chongyang Festival to honor the elderly, to ward off evil spirits and seek good luck; Spring Festival to look back on the past, look forward to the future, to visit friends and relatives, etc., the Chinese culture is y embedded in the traditional festivals and the thousands of years of inheritance, y seared in the hearts of every countrymen. For traditional festivals, the most dangerous thing is that the culture carried by the festival is gradually lost in the inheritance, and now most of the merchants due to the pursuit of profit, the festival publicity deliberately misinterpreted, the festival will be simply advertised as a buy things, only to buy something different, and now a lot of young people in the publicity atmosphere, the loss of the festival of the most important connotation --- the culture inherited. -The most important thing is that you can't get a good deal on your own, and you can't get a good deal on your own.

With the country's traditional festivals designated as legal holidays, and many ethnic minority regions also designated their own important festivals as legal holidays, holiday holiday holiday, traditional Chinese festivals in the country's influence in the deepening, the young people are also gradually return to the traditional holidays.

As China's national comprehensive national strength continues to grow, the ancient Chinese culture will certainly emit an incomparable charm, and I believe that the Westerners will also become a bright landscape of Chinese festivals.

Question 3: What do you think of the increasing popularity of Western festivals in China? This is a cultural globalization brought about by economic globalization. Every culture that emerges is accepted or rejected by another culture. This involves a kind of cultural discount. Western festivals are becoming more and more popular in China, which means that Western culture is accepted in China, but there must be a cultural discount. We can't copy someone else's culture exactly, because we can't imitate it exactly. Similarly, our Chinese culture is spreading all over the world, for example, Confucianism. Many Western countries are now studying Confucian culture. Only what is useful will be absorbed by people and spread. In terms of the attitude towards Western festivals, we should first judge whether it is a correct cultural value, and then absorb and spread it beneficially. At the same time, we should not forget our ancestors. At the crossroads of the two cultures, we should be clear about our priorities.

Question 4: How to look at the traditional and Western festivals Students, another Dragon Boat Festival quietly swept away from us, are you only immersed in the holiday leisure? Have you ignored the significance of this three-day vacation? Almost everyone knows that the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival that overflows with the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, a festival that honors the patriotic poet Qu Yuan of the State of Chu during the Warring States period. Traditional customs such as hanging mugwort leaves, writing talismans and reciting incantations, drinking xionghuang wine and racing dragon boats have also been passed down for thousands of years. However, why was the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in Korea officially recognized by UNESCO as an "important intangible heritage work" in 2005? Why is the Dragon Boat Festival now being fragmented and diluted into a fragmented festival, losing its original appearance?

It is because we ignore it. In fact, not only the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chung Yeung Festival and other traditional festivals, have been forgotten, replaced by the Western April Fool's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving Day ...... When you see many people carefully decorated with flashy Christmas trees, when you see many people talk about the West, when you see many people talking about Western topics, when you see many people blindly pursuing Western festivals. When you see many people blindly pursuing the Western holiday "avant-garde" ...... you are not associated with the traditional culture that has been forgotten in the corner?

However, when we revisit the cultural memory of these traditional festivals, we find that the "flavor" of traditional festivals is often drowned out by the "commodity frenzy". For a long time, many people think that the festival is just to eat better, wear better, many people will be the cultural connotation of the abandonment. Due to the neglect of the cultural and spiritual values of traditional festivals, festivals have been artificially diluted. Especially in recent years, people have pushed some traditional festivals into the market, and folklore has become a selling point. Many times people often feel lost during the festival, do not know how to spend the festival, this loss is not a kind of "stomach loss", but a kind of spiritual loss.

However, we must also be clear about the negative impact of contemporary Western thinking. The negative elements of Western culture can corrupt the social air and corrode people's minds. Contemporary Western thinking in the negative factors, in our country is mainly manifested in gold worship, hedonism, extreme individualism. They have a negative impact on the spirit and morality of people, especially our contemporary youth. Such negative factors and corruption in Western culture have been increasingly attacked even in the West.

Feng Jicai, vice president of the Federation of Chinese Literature and Art Circles, once said that traditional festivals are an important part of a nation's cultural heritage, and that protecting traditional festivals is therefore protecting the "spiritual home" of a nation. It is gratifying that we have recognized the importance of traditional festivals and the spiritual values they contain. The national statutory holidays adjustment program reflects the country's cultural development strategy and respect for people's traditional habits, with the people's hearts, public opinion, great popularity, is conducive to enhancing the cohesion of the Chinese nation and affinity.

In this case, we should do our part to make this "cohesion" and "affinity" more beautiful!

Question 5: How to correctly view the traditional and Western holidays Hello: The Spring Festival is the grandest traditional festival of the Chinese people, and it also symbolizes unity, prosperity, and a festival of new hope for the future. There are many customs in Chinese New Year, such as putting up Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, sticking on door gods, sweeping dust and so on. However, how many of us really inherit these customs during Chinese New Year? On the contrary, Christmas, Valentine's Day and other foreign festivals are beginning to flourish among students.

December 25 every year is the Western Christmas, in recent years in China, young people over Christmas has also become a major craze, in which the college student group occupies a large part of the shopping malls, large promotional activities is to promote the prevalence of this foreign holiday. According to a survey conducted by China University of Geosciences, only 15 percent of people do not follow the trend of celebrating the holiday. Most people don't know much about Christmas, and 46.4% of students still think that eating apples at Christmas is a Western custom, but in fact it's just a harmonic of eating apples on Christmas Eve to keep the peace. When asked why they had been to Christmas, 43.3% of the students said that they were just looking for a reason to have fun, while 28.9% of the students said that it was just for fun. The questionnaire also specifically on whether the students understand Christmas to do a survey, the data show that the understanding of Christmas two and two or more customary people only accounted for 45.4%. 19.6% of the students directly said that Christmas is to rush to the shopping malls of the discount promotional activities to go.

It is true that in recent years, with the development of the economy and the impact of foreign cultures, on the one hand, we began to contact foreign cultures, college students in the holiday choices have become more. The once-popular "Korean" and "Japanese" currents fully illustrate this point, whether in clothing, food, or music and film, many college students have chosen foreign things.

On the other hand, the diversification of entertainment also makes college students uninterested in traditions such as the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, children can be seen setting off firecrackers on the streets and alleys, but for college students, that has become a thing of the past. Many college students say they usually play with cell phones, computers, PSPs, etc., and firecrackers haven't been done for many years. Mr. Li told the reporter, "Children look forward to New Year's Eve, they can buy new clothes and have New Year's money. But for us college students will have little attraction, usually want what parents are very supportive."

In addition, the atmosphere of traditional culture around the decay also affects the choice of college students in the festival. In our surroundings, it is also obvious to feel the "New Year's flavor is not enough". In the countryside, most people still keep the custom of putting up couplets and sweeping dust, and the streets are full of joyful scenes. But in the city, everyone lives in apartments, and most of them just put a "lucky" sign on the security door. College students at home on New Year's Eve generally have nothing to do, the Spring Festival can not feel the traditional culture, college students naturally feel New Year's Eve boring.

Undeniably, in the folk, the Spring Festival that the lively scene of lights and colors has become less. However, the Spring Festival is our Chinese nation's most solemn traditional festival, when in the Christmas, Valentine's Day in front of these Western festivals, our choices become more, can we consider choosing the traditional festivals to pass? We can't neglect our traditions by celebrating western festivals. Nowadays, some college students may think that celebrating western festivals is a fashionable trend, but they do not know the western customs and just follow the trend to celebrate western festivals, which I am afraid is not appropriate. If we are in the Spring Festival at the same time also feel the Christmas atmosphere, then the meaning of the holiday is very different.

Question 6: How to correctly view the Western holidays When in Rome, follow the Romans, if you go to the West or around the Western friends, you can spend the holidays with them, if they are their own people, such festivals are just to give themselves a reason to consume or carnival relaxation, want to live, do not want to live at random, or to live their own festivals exciting

Question 7: How to look at the Western festivals? In China is prevalent while the traditional Chinese festival but this phenomenon "New Year!" "Happy new year!"...... Whenever a festival comes, a lively and cheerful scene is presented everywhere, and people's faces are overflowing with festive splendor. All kinds of rich and colorful festivals light up our lives and add a splash of brilliant colors to our lives.

Every nation has its own festivals, each with its own characteristics. Festivals reflect the cultural connotation of a nation and are the crystallization of human wisdom. With the growing closeness of Chinese and Western cultures, some Western cultures are also accepted by people, such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween and so on. However, some people are so keen on the festivals that they think the traditional Chinese festivals are too rigid, like some young people know about the western Valentine's Day, but know nothing about the Chinese Valentine's Day. What do secondary school students think about western festivals? Chinese and Western festivals have their own characteristics, what are their differences? What are the reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese festivals? How should we treat Western festivals?

After the survey: 88% of secondary school students like to celebrate Chinese traditional festivals, while 12% of secondary school students like to celebrate Western festivals, which shows that Chinese traditional festivals still occupy a dominant position in students' hearts. In addition, there is a considerable part of the students think that like Western festivals of foreign *** performance, there are some students think that this is a powerful diameter to learn Western knowledge.

From the survey of students' views on Chinese and Western festivals, we know that there are a lot of students who like Western festivals think that liking Western festivals is not going to make the student's culture affected by the gradual neglect of traditional Chinese culture. Every student likes traditional Chinese festivals, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and so on. Secondary school students believe that celebrating Western festivals is beneficial to their academic life, and that they can better understand Western culture and increase the interest of their life. Many secondary school students think that it is not enough for a Chinese to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals, but also western festivals, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas and so on. This way our life will be more interesting.

However, some students think that the blind adherence to western festivals by secondary school students is a kind of fashionable and following the trend. As a secondary school student, they have a greater element of fashionable Christmas. Many secondary school students think that Western festivals will be more fun than Chinese festivals, so they blindly follow the West over the so-called Western festivals, our own traditional festivals in the year after year of indifference to be watered down, while the Western festivals but the hype is huge, right now. In our secondary school students have also risen the craze for Western festivals. What Christmas ah, April Fool's Day ah. Buy flowers ah, choose greeting cards ah, busy and happy. In the face of this situation. We have a lot of different opinions, each with his own point of view. Then the integration of culture is the trend of historical development. For Western festivals, as a culture we should not implement the "closed doctrine", but should: "use the brain, put out the vision, their own to get." Some meaningful festivals to enrich the life, cultivate the sentiment, this is not good or not? With the gradual transformation of China's civilization mode from traditional farming to modern industrial civilization, it is an indisputable fact that Chinese people's way of behavior has gradually become westernized or cosmopolitan, with more and more westernized elements in Chinese people's way of life, and western festivals have begun to spread in China. But today's world is a diversified world, the global hegemony of Western culture is being challenged, with the strong rise of China's reform and opening up, the influence of Chinese culture on the West is also growing day by day, more and more Westerners are learning the Chinese language, and are fond of the Chinese characteristics of the traditional festivals, in recent years, Chinese New Year is becoming more and more popular abroad, the presidents of some major Western countries, the Prime Minister is also in China on the day of the Chinese New Year to the Chinese Chinese people of Chinese descent. Some presidents and prime ministers of some big western countries also greeted Chinese people of Chinese descent on Chinese New Year, and some of them even participated in the celebration activities. Of course, we can not help but calmly realize that the current influence of Western culture is still far greater than the influence of traditional Chinese culture on the West, on the one hand, naturally due to China's comprehensive strength, international status of the inherent limitations of the decision, on the other hand, today's young people in Chinese society has begun to have a clear character of individuality to promote the characteristics of the thousands of years of continuation of the cumbersome traditional festivals feel tired of the opposite is more fond of the West's relatively The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of the situation, and that you have a good idea of what is going on.

After the survey, the general understanding of Chinese and foreign cultures, 80 percent, a lot of 10 percent, do not know at all 5 percent; foreign culture into China reported attitude: that the essence of the dregs of its 85 percent, that the wholesale absorption of 3 percent

Question 8: how to see more and more Chinese people to Western festivals economy, the economy of the world, and the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy, the world's economy. Globalization, culture is also penetrating each other, Chinese people celebrate foreign festivals and foreigners celebrate Chinese festivals, indicating that the trend of world integration is slowly taking shape.

The state, as a product of a particular time, will eventually disappear.

Based on his concern for the existential situation of the modern proletariat and his ultimate concern for the political destiny of mankind, Marx put forward and argued for a supra-political social ideal that abandons the illusory ****-symbiosis, transcends political emancipation, and overcomes civil society. Using material dialectics and historical materialism as weapons, Marx scientifically argued for the inevitability, possibility and reality of the demise of the state, and made a scientific foresight in line with the laws of human historical development. The demise of the state is not only the promise of Marx's social ideal, but also the "historical picture" of the future development of human society. We should understand the demise of the state from the height of social ideals and historical truths generated in human practical activities, so as to clarify that Marx's theory of the demise of the state is neither a utopian myth nor a mechanical historical determinism of "predestination".

Question 9: What is the correct way to look at Western festivals? Take the best and get rid of the dregs

Question 10: English Composition: How do you think more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals and ignore the Chinese tradition Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many Chinese people to celebrate the western festivals. Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day, April Fool Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is being *** aller and *** aller as well. Therefore, in my opinion, it's a normal phenomenons well as a necessary trend.

First of all, it shows that we Chinese have bee much opener rather than clinging to some of our own. First of all, it shows that we Chinese have bee much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs, which are opposite our living. Looking back on the history, we can find the answer to why our China was Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many hardships. Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched. So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves. So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy. Since we took the policy into practice, our country is developing with a rapid speed. No doubt it is an essential trend. No doubt it is an essential trend. joozone

Last but not the least, we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners. We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other's customs and manners....... >>
