What is the significance of letting children know about traditional festivals?

Festivals in China are very cohesive and inclusive. When the festival comes, the whole country celebrates. Festivals come down in one continuous line with the long history of our nation and are valuable spiritual and cultural heritage. But with the development of high technology, the development of human civilization is also changing with each passing day. In this context, educational informatization has developed rapidly. Contemporary preschool education in China has made unprecedented progress under the influence of foreign culture. However, a vast country with a long history and rich festival culture of one billion people, why are children familiar with and keen on \ "foreign festivals \" \ "foreign customs \"? Many people's concept of festivals has faded, and people of different growing ages and backgrounds have essentially different feelings and understandings of festivals, especially for young parents in the fierce social competition, their understanding of traditional festivals is even less. We should worry about our national culture and have a sense of urgency. Therefore, how to treat teenagers' tendency to despise their own culture, how to treat their own traditional culture, how to make our children cherish their own traditional festivals and develop our culture, so that China's excellent traditional culture can be passed down and updated without facing the fate of annihilation and distortion, and so on. , has become a serious problem before us. We know that compared with the educational purpose of \ "loving wisdom \" advocated by western culture, China traditional culture has irreplaceable advantages in the cultivation of humanistic quality; Its unique ethical culture pays the most attention to the cultivation of moral consciousness and ideal personality, and its ideal education with interpersonal harmony as the highest category is of great value to the cultivation of human humanistic quality. Therefore, as a national of China with a long history and rich cultural traditions, it is even more necessary to maintain cultural consciousness soberly and firmly; Paying attention to our festivals is promoting our culture. Let's talk about the educational significance and methods of traditional festival activities in kindergartens.

First, the educational significance of traditional festivals in kindergartens

(1) Traditional festivals in kindergartens promote the development of children's healthy emotions.

Emotion is the experience of people's attitude towards objective things in social activities. Enriching healthy emotions is a necessary condition for the high development of people's spiritual life. Emotion, in particular, is sunshine and rain for the development of children's wisdom, the cultivation of virtue and the growth of the whole person. Without emotion, there is no perfect childlike innocence. However, children's emotional life is not entirely spontaneous. We should attach importance to children's emotional education. As Guo Moruo said: "The fundamental transformation of human beings should start with children's emotional education and aesthetic education. Traditional festivals in China have corresponding etiquette, which embodies the moral spirit. China's traditional festivals have a long history, extensive and profound, and colorful holiday customs. From ancient times to the present, the ways of commemorating and celebrating traditional festivals are constantly changing with the changes of the times, but there is always something rooted in the depths and lasting forever, that is, the spirit and emotion of the nation.
