How to revive traditional festivals?

The first is to form a festival tradition that links family life with public life.

It is a positive direction to move the theme of traditional festivals from family to society appropriately, which meets the requirements of contemporary social and cultural construction. In modern residential communities, public places can be used to carry out the Spring Festival group worship activities, and there can be collective community gatherings to enjoy the moon during the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The second is to form a festival tradition that attaches importance to festivals and entertainment.

Traditional festivals attach importance to belief in gods and sacrificial activities, so spiritual belief is the core of traditional festivals. Nowadays, people not only need spiritual belief, but also pay more attention to their own spiritual pleasure and physical relaxation. Regular entertainment and leisure activities are an important way to make them refreshed and maintain social vitality.

Extended data:

The reconstruction of traditional festivals in contemporary society still faces challenges, which are manifested in two aspects:

First, the traditional national festivals and customs in the past century have been seriously damaged by artificial blocking, and many people deliberately ignore the traditional festivals in China.

The prohibition, transformation and abandonment of traditional festivals lead to the hollowness and superficiality of today's traditional festivals. Due to the loss of cultural memory, people intentionally or unintentionally abandoned many traditional festivals, which made them lose rich symbols and connotations. The loss of traditional festival custom elements directly causes the difficulty of inheriting traditional festival culture.

Second, the cultural context in which traditional national festivals are held has changed greatly.

The traditional festivals of the Chinese nation are rooted in the civilized soil of agricultural society and are the product of the rhythm of life in agricultural society and the ethical culture in agricultural times. Therefore, traditional festivals attach importance to coordinating the relationship between heaven and man and family.
