The significance of the rise of traditional festivals: fighting for the nation

In 2005, the Korean movie "Dae Jang Geum" became popular all over Asia and even the world, making most people and countries look at Korea with admiration. In addition, Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, etc. are also highly sought after in China. Many people also pursue foreign traditions too much and ignore Chinese traditions.

1: Continuing History

We often say that our Chinese culture is the only one among the four ancient cultures in the world that has not been interrupted. However, we must realize that our history, especially traditional civilization, has actually been broken to a certain extent. From big cities to rural areas in India, from New Delhi to Bodh Gaya, you can’t see any Indian women wearing Western-style skirts.

The clothes they wear are of different grades and tastes, but they are all traditional Indian clothes - sari. Music schools in India teach traditional Indian music. In India, if you want to learn Western music, you can go to the West to learn it. Their own schools are always passing on their own national culture.

Two: Increase our national cohesion

Chinese people must have their own language and festivals, and all of these are culture. When we go to the United States, we see Americans flying their own national flags everywhere in the countryside. Their sense of pride is due to their pride in their own system and culture. And our traditional culture today can play this role. Every nation should be proud of its own culture. This sense of pride is always the core thing that unites, cohesively, and arouses the spiritual power of a nation.

During World War II, when the German Nazi troops surrounded Stalingrad and the former Soviet Union reached its most dangerous moment, Stalin once made a famous speech. What did he use to inspire this nation? He said that our nation is the nation that produced Pushkin, the nation that produced Turgenev, and the nation that produced Tolstoy... It is the names of these giants who created Russian culture that evoke the entire Soviet people. The will to resist was united and Stalingrad was finally defended.

Our traditional culture is the solid foundation for us to maintain the unity of the nation and state.
