Second, college students' holiday ideas and cultural beliefs

In the investigation of Chinese college students' cognition of traditional festivals, we found that college students' cognition of traditional festivals is relatively weak, that is to say, they know little about the origin, function, efficacy and significance of festivals, which also weakens the sacred significance of festivals and naturally lacks faith in traditional festivals.

First of all, a festival is a relatively fixed, most sacred and most important day for a nation, which is related to people's understanding of nature and to a nation's primitive worship and spiritual belief. Festival custom is an important window to show a nation, which reflects a nation's historical outlook and social life from different angles and sides, and also eulogizes social stability and people's well-being. It is an important embodiment of the national spirit and plays an irreplaceable role in enhancing national cohesion and national prestige. A nation's traditional festivals have a profound cultural background, reflecting the relationship between man and nature, man and faith, and man and man. They are the true embodiment of national culture in life and can perfectly reflect a nation's morality, folk customs and folk customs. Therefore, traditional festivals should be an important part of people's lives and should be the embodiment of a nation's overall belief in national culture.

The indifference of college students to traditional festivals shows that contemporary college students lack faith in national culture, which is directly related to their ignorance of the significance of traditional festivals. The survey shows that most college students agree that traditional festivals need to be strongly advocated and valued, which shows that college students are still eager for traditional festivals, but their attitudes towards traditional festivals are different due to different levels of understanding.

On the other hand, college students' living conditions and values have influenced their attitudes towards traditional festivals. When investigating the reasons why western festivals are popular with young people (questionnaire 14), 68.02% of the students chose "young people pursue fashion and keep up with the trend", and another 33.78% chose "media and commercial promotion", which shows that college students' blind pursuit of fashion has led to a wrong understanding of "fashion". Western festivals are not the representatives of fashion, but the introduction of culture. They are not representatives of fashion and romance, and our traditional festivals are not out of date and outdated. Festivals of all ethnic groups have existed independently from the beginning. For a long time, festivals coexisted, and many western festivals were much later than our traditional festivals. The traditional festivals in China are rich in content, with beautiful legends, heroic stories, fine wines and delicacies, full of romantic elements, which only need our clever college students to discover and excavate. The propaganda of the media and businesses can easily attract the attention of college students, and how ridiculous it is that they muddled through a "foreign festival" and betrayed their beliefs without delving into the significance of the festival!

Of course, we don't want to boycott western festivals, but hope that our college students will treat them rationally after fully understanding the significance of festivals. College students need to deepen their understanding of traditional festivals, but also need a clear value orientation, an upward pursuit of life, a belief in national culture, and can not lose the young way to catch up with fashion and trends.

3. The influence of lifestyle on traditional festivals

With the development of society and the change of people's lifestyle, some traditional festivals and customs are difficult to continue to develop, and many beautiful customs are limited because they have lost their hotbeds in the natural state. If this situation continues, folk customs will naturally change, and traditional festivals may change greatly, which cannot but arouse people's attention to the inheritance and protection of traditional festivals.

The reasons why some traditional festivals can't be adhered to (question 5 of the questionnaire) The survey results show that 26.50% of people say they don't have time, 35.04% are away all the year round, 15.38% say the form is complicated and the content is old-fashioned, and 15.86438+0% think it is unnecessary. With the change of people's material life and the acceleration of urbanization in China, many traditional festivals have lost their original development space and cannot develop normally. It is a common phenomenon that college students can't stick to traditional festivals and customs because of the limitation of time and place. Most of the traditional festivals in China are related to nature, and most of them evolved from ancient farming life. These festivals are all developed in rural areas, and the accelerated urbanization has naturally become a major obstacle to the continuation of holiday customs, which has to require people to create new methods for the inheritance of holiday customs.

The survey shows the second question in the questionnaire: What is your attitude towards traditional festivals? 82.76% people choose "tradition can be changed appropriately, but the essence should be preserved", and only 7.33% people insist on "strictly following traditional customs". This also reflects that the folklore in a certain historical stage is closely related to the social productivity and social and economic development level at that time. Material folk customs and production folk customs will change, and intangible folk customs will also have some material changes. Therefore, traditional festivals are not static, and there will be some changes in different historical periods, and changes have taken place in different degrees in the process of historical inheritance. But no matter how it changes, the significance of traditional festivals and the national cultural spirit it symbolizes remain unchanged.

Therefore, with the intensification of urbanization and great changes in material life and lifestyle, traditional festivals cannot be lost. We should try our best to provide conditions for the preservation of traditional festivals and customs, especially schools, and try our best to provide conditions for students to develop traditional festivals and customs, so that students can better understand traditional festivals and understand the connotation of national culture in a deeper level.

Fourthly, the influence of globalization on traditional festivals.

With the development of science and technology and the advancement of globalization, the world has become more and more diversified, and cultural integration and conflict inevitably appear in this development process. With the increasing and deepening of China's opening to the outside world, different forms of foreign cultures have come one after another, invading and influencing this ancient land. Western cultural products such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day, which were only seen in books and periodicals before, are now familiar and accepted by most young people. In a sense, it makes people's lives more diversified and enables people to understand the world and human beings more comprehensively, but it is really sad to change the way they understand others. We need to know the west, understand the west and learn from it. This has become an indisputable fact for a hundred years. An isolated nation will never have a vast space, which has been proved by history. We have made brilliant achievements in learning western culture, but what we should learn from the west and how to learn from it are still important issues worthy of our consideration. The brilliant scientific achievements of the west are indeed worth learning, the spirit of cooperation in the west is worth learning, and the spirit of entrepreneurship in the west is worth learning. Should we also copy the western way of life? Obviously not. Different regions bring up different people and thus produce different cultures, which is in line with the requirements of natural development. If you deliberately imitate other people's lifestyles and follow other people's cultural traditions, it will undoubtedly stifle your own national roots, which is not desirable.

In today's "peaceful rise" of China, Chinese people should think about the value of China's traditional culture in modern society. On the one hand, cherishing one's own cultural traditions is of great significance to social stability and national unity; On the other hand, China culture should not be regarded as an obstacle for China to go global and prosper, but as a more important root and source of strength for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Therefore, under the circumstances that the globalization process impacts the traditional culture, we should protect our traditional festivals, let them continue better and show the charm of traditional culture better. On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2005, gangneung danoje festival was officially recognized by UNESCO as "a masterpiece of human oral and intangible heritage". This news has stimulated the nerves of children in China, and also aroused people's concern about traditional culture in China. Today, with the development of globalization, while integrating foreign cultures, every nation is trying its best to protect its own traditions, but our performance in this respect seems a bit weak. QuestionNo. 16: June 2005 1 1, South Korea successfully declared gangneung danoje festival as a' UN Intangible Cultural Heritage'. What's your opinion? The statistical results show that 59.50% of college students choose "we don't pay enough attention to traditional festivals"; 3 1.98% people expressed anger. It can be seen that in today's globalization, protecting traditional festivals is a great wish of college students. Only by mobilizing the whole society from top to bottom can we better protect traditional festivals.
