I don't think Western festivals are our enemies, they're our friends. They can bring us different cultural experiences, enhance our communication and understanding with other countries and regions, and also enrich our lives.
Of course, I also understand that some people are resistant to Western festivals, feeling that they will destroy our traditional festivals and affect our national culture and spirit. This is a legitimate concern, but it is also not necessary to be overly pessimistic.
First of all, we need to understand that traditional festivals are not static, and they also change with the times. For example, the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc., all have their own unique histories and customs, but they will also be adjusted and innovated according to the needs of society and people's preferences. For example, some people now like to eat dumplings, set off firecrackers, paste Spring Festival couplets, etcSome people like to eat rice balls, enjoy lanterns, set off fireworks, etc. during the Lantern FestivalSome people like to eat zongzi, race dragon boats, wear sachets, etc. during the Dragon Boat Festival. All these show that traditional festivals have not been replaced or diluted by Western festivals, but have maintained their vitality and charm.
Second, we need to recognize that Western festivals are not a single cultural model, and they also have their own diversity and differences. For example, Christmas is not just a ritual of praying for peace and holiness in the ** religion;It can also be accepted or respected by other religions or atheists;It can also be borrowed or adapted by other countries or regions;It can also be enjoyed or expressed by other age groups or personality types. For example, some people now like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Christmas gifts, etc.;Some people like to celebrate Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Halloween, etc.;Some people like to celebrate Easter, Longevity, etc. All this shows that Western festivals have not been suppressed or eliminated by Chinese culture, but have shown their own colorfulness.
Finally, we need to learn to respect and tolerate Western festivals, and learn from them. For example, we can learn the knowledge and skills of time management, consumption concepts, social methods, etc. in Western culture, and make appropriate adjustments and improvements according to our actual situationFor example, we can actively contribute and participate in activities related to artistic creation, scientific and technological inventions, public welfare undertakings, etc., in Western culture, and combine our own interests and hobbiesFor example, we can experience the content of Western culture about food, dance, movies and TV series, etc., and choose and recommend and share them based on our own taste preferences.
In conclusion, I don't think that boycotting Western festivals will solve the problem, but may create a bigger problem. Boycotting Western festivals may deprive some young people of opportunities and platforms to communicate with the outside world.
