Recently, the discussion on "Christmas" and "Christmas Eve" on the Internet has been very hot, and some netizens have said: The people of the whole country should unite to drive Christmas Eve and Christmas out of China and reject the cultural aggression of the West against us!
The author believes that this formulation is too extreme, probably caused by the amplification of some negative phenomena in this section.
Although Christmas is a traditional Western holiday, it is widely welcomed and followed in China, especially by the younger generation. However, some people believe that Christmas is too commercial and entertaining, lacking real cultural connotation and spiritual value. Therefore, they advocated the expulsion of Christmas Eve and Christmas from China in order to maintain the independence and autonomy of traditional Chinese culture. There is a certain bias and non-objectivity in this view.
First of all, Christmas, as an important holiday and cultural symbol, has its own historical, cultural and religious background. It not only represents people's yearning for a better life and the pursuit of faith, but also contains rich emotions and humanistic care. At the same time, Christmas is also one of the important festivals in many countries, with a wide range of international influence and identity.
Secondly, Chinese culture is broad and profound, inclusive, and absorbs the best elements of different cultures from all over the world. Chinese traditional culture has not only the essence of traditional culture such as Confucianism and Taoist philosophy, but also elements of romanticism, freedom and equality in Western culture. Therefore, we should not simply see Western culture as a beast, but should look at and learn from different cultures with an open and inclusive mind.
Finally, we should respect everyone's cultural choices and values. Everyone has their own beliefs and lifestyles, and we should respect their choices and rights. At the same time, on the basis of carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, we should actively promote the development and innovation of multiculturalism and contribute to the progress of human civilization.
In short, it is not feasible to force or deliberately drive China out of China on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it is not the work of a large country.
From the perspective of patriotic feelings, December 24 coincided with the Changjin Lake Victory Day of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the designation of this day as the "Changjin Lake Victory Day" is completely in line with the national conditions and public opinion, I believe that netizens have no objections, and the heroic feat of the "Ice Sculpture Company" of the Volunteer Army has always inspired every Chinese to protect their families and defend the country!
