The Celebration of Western Festivals
No one can have failed to notice the fact that Western festivals gain
ever-increasing popularity in China. An increasing number of Chinese are fond of
celebrating Western festivals today. On Valentine’s Day, many people, especially
the young, give flowers or chocolate to the one they love; when Christmas
approaches, nearly every store put on decorations like Santa Claus, snowflakes
and even Christmas trees, not to mention the millions of people immersed in the
thrilling atmosphere of festival on Christmas Eve; even such holidays as
Halloween and the Easter Day are becoming known and celebrated by more and more
Chinese. In comparison, such traditional Chinese festivals as the Spring
Festival, the Festival of Lanterns and the Mid-Autumn Day seem to be losing
their attraction.
In view of such a situation, many are worried that Chinese culture will be
ignored or even ruined by the invasion of Western festivals. Personally, I
believe that we needn’t be over worried. Actually, the increasing popularity of
some Western festivals in China is nothing accidental, but some thing
justifiable.
First, it is a part of cultural globalization. With the development of
communication science and technology and along with more and more nations
opening up to the outside world, the world today has turned into a global
village, with many national things becoming international. China is no
exception. While we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign
countries, we are also taking in different cultures.
Secondly, it is a sign of China’s rejuvenating. As a nation boasting a
civilization of 5,000 years, Chinese have been known for their spirit of
accommodation or open-mindedness. China used to be a melting pot of cultures as
the U.S. is today. In the prosperous Tang dynasty, China was host to travelers
and settlers from over the world. Actually, being accommodating is a sign of any
thriving nation. Therefore, we should be pleased rather than upset to see
Chinese people embracing foreign festivals.
It is true that some traditional Chinese festivals are losing their appeal to
many people, but this does not necessarily the ruin of Chinese culture.
Actually, a closer inspection reveals that most Chinese celebrate Western
festivals merely out of the wish to seek novelty, to find a new way to entertain
themselves or to express their identity in the face of the older generation. On
the other hand, most Chinese have not ignored their native festivals. A
convincing proof is that the Spring Festival still sees the largest flow of
population in the world as most Chinese rush to their homes for family
reunion.
In a word, while we are giving priority to the preservation and development
of traditional Chinese culture, we needn’t worry too much about the inflow of
foreign culture.
