"Singer Huang An was praised by netizens for denouncing the cancellation of the Spring Festival tradition, which sparked a heated discussion about the importance of traditional festivals. "
In traditional Chinese culture, the Spring Festival has always been a symbolic moment for thousands of families to reunite and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. But in recent years, the historic festival has faced challenges in the process of modernization. The famous singer and ** Huang An, the recent fierce remarks on social **, is the latest example of this cultural debate. His words sparked widespread social resonance, revealing a deep cultural anxiety: with the rapid changes in modern life, is traditional culture being marginalized or even forgotten?Huang An's anger is mainly directed at the experts who propose no guns during the Spring Festival and no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve. These suggestions appear to be in the public interest, but they ignore the deep cultural traditions and national feelings of the Chinese. Huang An pointed out that the decision to cancel the Chinese New Year's Eve holiday in 2013 was not only a disregard for tradition, but also a wound to the feelings of ordinary people. The voices of these experts, although high-pitched, are far from the real lives of the population. Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are among the most important festivals in Chinese culture. This day is a day for families to reunite and spend time together. However, with the advancement of urbanization and modernization, this traditional way of celebrating is gradually disappearing. The most controversial thing is the total ban on fireworks. This tradition has been around for more than 2,000 years, but in the last decade, more and more cities have banned guns due to environmental and safety concerns.
Huang's remarks sparked a wide discussion about how traditional holidays are celebrated. Many agree with him that traditional Chinese festivals should be protected and respected. CCTV even published an article in support of Huang An, emphasizing that Chinese should enjoy the joy and rights of the New Year. Globally, Tet is adopted as an official holiday in many countries, including Vietnam, Mongolia, Singapore, and Malaysia, among others. Even in California, the Chinese New Year is listed as a legal holiday. Huang An strongly urged China to value and protect its cultural traditions, including including including Chinese New Year's Eve as a statutory holiday. Huang's remarks reflect the mixed feelings of the Chinese people between the preservation of traditional culture and the pressures of modern life. In the rapidly developing modern society, how to balance tradition and modernity has become an urgent problem to be solved. Huang An's voice is not only a catharsis of personal emotions, but also a profound torture of the future fate of traditional Chinese culture. His remarks are undoubtedly a powerful response to the contempt for traditional culture in modern society, and also remind every Chinese that we should not forget those traditions and cultures that are rooted in our blood.
In Huang's voice, we hear a broader cultural voice. For example, in recent years, discussions about traditional Chinese culture have attracted great attention at home and abroad. For example, the "Hanfu Movement" is a typical example, and more and more young people are beginning to wear traditional clothing, which is not only a fashion revival of ancient culture, but also an affirmation of traditional cultural identity. However, this cultural revival is not without controversy. Some critics argue that the blind pursuit of tradition may ignore the diversity and openness of modern society. Outside of Huang'an's case, there have been many other public figures in China who have made similar statements expressing concerns about the preservation of traditional culture. For example, the famous film director Zhang Yimou has repeatedly emphasized the importance of traditional Chinese culture in his works. In his film The Great Wall, he conveyed to the world respect and protection of Chinese culture by showcasing ancient Chinese architecture and legends. Similarly, the well-known writer Yu Hua has repeatedly emphasized the return to tradition in his works, the relationship between modern people and traditional culture. At the social level, China has also made efforts to protect and promote traditional culture in recent years. For example, China** has designated traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival as national holidays, and encourages local celebrations to inherit and carry forward traditional culture. In the context of globalization, China has actively promoted traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival in international organizations such as the United Nations to enhance the international influence of Chinese culture.
This emphasis on traditional culture reflects a deep cultural self-confidence. With China's rising rise on the global stage, Chinese are becoming more aware of the value and importance of traditional culture. From Huang An's anger to the popularity of the Hanfu movement, from Zhang Yimou's films to the policies of **, we can see a kind of cultural conscious awakening. This awakening is not only a review of the past, but also a look forward to the future. Although Huang An's voice was fierce, it touched the deep cultural emotions of the Chinese. This sentiment is not only a nostalgia for tradition, but also an expectation of China's future place on the global cultural map. In the rapidly changing modern society, finding and maintaining cultural roots has become an important issue. Through such social discussions and cultural practices, China is showing the world its unique cultural charm and profound cultural heritage.
