Why should middle school students know about traditional festivals?

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Only the soul of the people is valuable. Only when he develops the soul of the people can China make real progress." The soul of the people is an extension of our 5,000-year-old traditional culture and a manifestation of it. Students are the future of the country and the inheritors of traditional culture, but today we are at a disadvantage in inheriting, understanding and learning traditional culture. First of all, with the rapid development of society, all kinds of new things attract students' attention, which makes students seldom contact and learn traditional culture and spend more time indulging in these superficial things. Network, a new thing, often has too little inside information and too shallow and vulgar connotation, which affects students' humanistic cultivation and takes up learning. Secondly, with the development of the reform and opening-up economy, the western "fast food culture" has also impacted the traditional culture of China. For example, in recent years, with more and more people in China, especially young people, becoming more and more enthusiastic about Christmas, even surpassing China's own festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival, the four traditional festivals in China, has been listed as the heritage of other countries. The west relies on Hollywood DreamWorks to process their culture, making it easy for young people to accept their culture, such as heroes, vampires and knights. Finally, exam-oriented education does not attach importance to humanistic education. Education is more of a form, and students don't need to understand the meaning, just remember and write it down. In the process of learning, students often just stay on the knowledge points, and don't have much impression on the development and inheritance of culture. The same exam-oriented training takes up a lot of students' time and deprives them of the opportunity to taste the classics and understand the traditional culture.
