Should people in China celebrate foreign festivals?

1. With the development of society, the cultural exchange between China and the West is unstoppable, and the exchange and integration of festival culture as an important part of culture is natural and natural.

The development of modern society is changing with each passing day, and the development of high technology, especially network communication technology, makes the "global village" smaller and smaller. With the development of China's politics, economy and diplomacy, especially after China's accession to the WTO, western cultural concepts and oriental traditional morality have naturally integrated into people's daily lives in international metropolises such as Hongkong and Shanghai. This integration has spread in a wider area. People influenced by western cultural concepts are enjoying various foreign festivals, while traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are also very lively. Therefore, what's wrong with China people having more foreign festivals to express their feelings? Don't more and more young people learn to send a blessing to the elderly on Mother's Day and Father's Day while approaching Christmas and Valentine's Day? Who says that modern material civilization and spiritual civilization are not the combination of complementary multicultural existence?

Second, the correct attitude towards a series of western festivals should be to adhere to Mr. Lu Xun's "takenism" principle: use your head, open your eyes, take its essence, discard its dross and take it yourself!

On the question of how to inherit the national cultural heritage, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out long ago that we can neither totally deny nor totally accept it, but critically absorb it with Marxism–Leninism's historical and dialectical philosophical vision and attitude. As early as the 1930s, Mr. Lu Xun clearly pointed out in his famous political article "Takeism" that you should use your brains, make your eyes shine and get it yourself! To sum up, I think the correct attitude towards a series of western festivals should be: don't blindly worship, don't lose yourself; Neither westernization in its entirety, acceptance in its entirety, nor denial in its entirety are impeccable; But take its essence and discard its dross!
