Festival
Festival, according to the dictionary meaning, is a day or period of time set aside for feasting and celebration. However, as the time passes by, fewer and fewer people have really penetrated this term. Especially for teenagers, they just take it for granted that festival equals to holidays.
Apparently, people get used to have holidays during most of the festivals. The problem is, most of them are rather celebrating for holidays rather than the festival itself. In China, there are more than hundred traditional festivals have been recorded, excludes those have been forgotten or non-recorded. Among these hundreds of festivals, however, only very few of them have been celebrated publicly nationwide. There is no doubt that the significance of these traditional festivals have become more and more indifferent. It is quite worrying to all of us, what if the Chinese culture vanishs one day?
Another fact is that the popularity of western festivals has risen abruptly and surprisingly in where the Chinese culture originated. The latest statistcs indicates that there is more number Chinese people who know Christmas and Valentine compare to those who know when is Tomb-sweeping(Qingming) Day. This clearly shows more and more Chinese value to the western festivals rather than their own traditions! Having said this, shall we reflect on ourselves, how much do we know about our traditional festivals?
