Start with Starbucks next to the Forbidden City.
Starting from Starbucks in the Forbidden City, a Starbucks coffee shop has been opened in an antique corner of the Forbidden City for six years. This foreign shop in suits and ties stands out among the buildings of robes and jackets, which is particularly eye-catching, no, it should be particularly dazzling. It seems to be telling visitors to the Forbidden City something ... (There are examples in the description and comments) Starbucks coffee shop is a symbol of American consumerism and pragmatism. "It exists. It can survive in the Forbidden City for six years, which shows that it caters to the consumption psychology of many tourists, especially foreign tourists. The Forbidden City is the holy land of China's traditional culture, but it makes people feel different when Starbucks drives to the Forbidden City. It symbolizes the "soft power" of foreign culture in China, an ancient country with 5,000 years of civilization. In recent years, there are many examples of the infiltration and expansion of foreign cultures. Layers of English course posters posted on the university campus; Japanese TV dramas and Korean TV dramas, as well as various Western-style fast food restaurants, Japanese food and thai massage, occupy the TV screen all over the world. Japanese dramas and Korean dramas cover the sky (horizontal communication, contact real-life examples, talk about it). Faced with the powerful offensive of soft power, many compatriots, especially teenagers, unconsciously lost themselves. They spend a lot of time studying English hard, but they ignore themselves. They are familiar with Bill Gates and Jordan, but ignore Lao She and Ba Jin. They are obsessed with Japanese comics but don't read the Book of Songs and Li Sao ... (Again, for comparison, there is an existing point of view) Foreign culture is gradually eroding our originally limited spiritual space. There is a saying that there is a "biological invasion" in nature. The water surface of East Lake in Wuhan was once occupied by imported water hyacinth, a fast-growing pig feed, which caused other species to shrink or even disappear. When people are only satisfied with the sensory stimulation of sensory feast, so is culture. Traditional culture is gradually being abandoned by us. Isn't it a typical example that Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province is going to South Korea to learn procedures? What an unstable record! If one day, we cut off the umbilical cord that once nourished our traditional culture and cut off the national cultural ties that closely linked us, where will our national cohesion be? Where is the root of our soul? Dr. Yang Shuzi put it well: "Science is backward, and it will collapse when it hits;" "Without humanity, we will be defeated without fighting. This is by no means alarmist, and aggression in the highest sense is cultural aggression. Goethe once said, "The decline of culture indicates the decline of a nation, and the decline of the two goes hand in hand. "It is true that foreign culture also has its essence, which is worth absorbing in today's increasingly frequent cultural exchanges among countries. However, we should remember that when carrying out "takenism" on foreign cultures, we must carry forward the fine traditions of our own culture and maintain the characteristics of our own culture (draw a conclusion).
