This year's Spring Festival seems to be more anticipated than in previous years.
Deyang, Sanxingdui Museum will hold a New Year's ceremony, using a reality show to integrate sound and light technology, and combining online and offline methods to allow tourists from all over the world to experience the novel and prosperous scene of praying for blessings; Chengdu, on Chinese New Year's Eve, more than 3,000 drones will show off their stunts at the Tianfu International Conference Center; Zigong, the 30th Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival kicked off, and top IPs such as "Glory of Kings" and "Bubble Mart" all appeared in ......It is understood that during the Spring Festival this year, Sichuan will focus on launching more than 1,900 cultural and tourism activities, and a number of unique cultural scenes that blend traditional culture and modern elements are waiting for more tourists to arrive.
The Spring Festival, an ancient festival dating back more than 4,000 years, is coming warmly and vividly. In the next ten days, in the vast land of Bashu, in countless streets and alleys, the integration of tradition and modernity, the nation and the world hand in hand, flourish in the United States and the United States, enrich and develop in exchanges and mutual learning, and constitute a modern cultural map that is eternal and modern, old and new.
Over the years, every Spring Festival, there are always people who complain that the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and that traditional festivals and customs are constantly being dissolved and forgotten. One of the main reasons, Mr. Feng Jicai said well, the dilution of the meaning of the year is the lack of culture. If we look further, it is actually the lack of cultural "modernity", that is, the vitality of any kind of culture lies in advancing with the times, pioneering and innovating, and better adapting to the development of the times and the needs of the people, rather than rigidity and sticking to tradition.
What is Tradition? I remember one scholar saying that tradition is a process that flows through the entire timeline of past, present, and future, rather than an entity that has been condensed in the past. In this way, the true foothold of tradition is in the present and the future, it is always in the process of making and creating, and it is always open to the world with infinite possibilities. Inheriting and carrying forward the tradition is not only to copy what has been done, but also to be based on the core of traditional culture, to develop the unprecedented, to think about the unthinkable, and to innovate and create new things. As the general secretary emphasized, the inheritance of Chinese culture is by no means a simple retro, nor is it blindly xenophobic, but the ancient for the present, the foreign for the Chinese, dialectical trade-offs, innovation, abandon negative factors, inherit positive ideas, "with the rules of the ancients, open their own life", to achieve the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese culture.
As the most important festival in traditional culture, the Spring Festival represents a cultural choice for us to innovate and develop. On Ancestral Street in Chengdu, just after the exhibition of Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage ended, Chinese and Western-style buildings were hung with lanterns to welcome the New Year; In Dongxing Old Street, Neijiang, the activity of "Small Handwritten Spring Festival Couplets and Ink Fragrance Sending Blessings" is being carried out hotly, and foreign friends get the Spring Festival couplets and praise ......Today's Sichuan is creating the Spring Festival culture belonging to the times with an open attitude, the charm of folk customs and the splendor of modernity, jointly casting a key to open traditional culture, and making the continuous traditional culture glow with the brilliance of the times.
Inheriting the flow of hundreds of generations, it will change today. The Spring Festival is not only linked to distant time, but also connected to a better Sichuan. Let us keep the common historical memory, build the contemporary cultural feelings, and let a deep and lasting power moisten people's hearts and fragrance for a long time.
