After such a long struggle, the traditional culture of the Dragon Boat Festival finally fell to another family. Many people will feel sorry for this, because it is important to say that it is not important. Mentioning the Dragon Boat Festival reminds us of Qu Yuan, Zongzi and Dragon Boat, which can become a world heritage, indicating that the Dragon Boat Festival has a deep influence on world culture. It is precisely because of this factor that the Dragon Boat Festival was successfully applied for by South Korea, which made our descendants of Qu Yuan feel sad.
In fact, we really have no reason to be sad, because none of us will attach importance to this tradition before applying for the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's see that Dragon Boat Festival has gradually turned into Zongzi Festival. Speaking of this festival, everyone only remembers Zongzi. There is almost no shadow of the dragon boat in the river, and the traditional culture is gradually forgotten. We didn't feel the importance of the Dragon Boat Festival until Koreans applied, but we didn't do anything about it, and the final result was normal.
Professor Gao of Peking University, secretary-general of the Chinese Folklore Society, said that the Korean Dragon Boat Festival is actually composed of dances, shaman sacrifices and folk art exhibitions, which is different from China people's activities such as eating zongzi, rowing dragon boats and commemorating Qu Yuan. "The only similarity is the time frame, which was held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China." South Korea's successful application for the World Heritage actually brings us a good enlightenment: they have injected modern elements into traditional cultural activities, successfully realized modern transformation, and gained international recognition, which is of reference significance for China's heritage protection. Having said that, it is difficult for us to accept it emotionally for a while, but who is to blame? Many things are precious only when they are lost.
"Lost" for a Dragon Boat Festival, should we eat zongzi? The ceremony in memory of Qu Yuan should continue. Dragon Boat Festival will not be strange because Koreans have applied for World Heritage. Think about our cultural traditions. If we can't carry them forward, if we can't organically combine them with modern society, what should we do if we apply for world heritage?
