Since 1990s, people in China have suddenly become interested in celebrating foreign festivals. Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, romantic plot, Thanksgiving Day and Mother's Day are flourishing year by year abroad, while traditional festivals in China, such as Cold Food Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival and Double Ninth Festival, are gradually becoming indifferent. What is the reason why the "foreign festivals" are popular and the local festivals are "cold"? How about celebrating foreign festivals? There are different opinions in the media, and the author makes a brief analysis here, which can be summarized as follows: The prevalence of today's "foreign festivals" has its inevitable factors: First, after China's reform and opening up, foreign cultures infiltrated into it and countries blended with each other. This is a natural phenomenon; Second, global economic integration has accelerated the influence of foreign cultures on China. It is human nature that many foreigners work and spend holidays in China. Third, the media and commercial speculation have promoted the "foreign festival" to continue to heat up, mainly behind the huge commercial profits; Fourth, it is inevitable for our people to live a rich life and pursue a colorful spiritual life; Fifth, many young people and college students pursue fashion and follow suit. When foreign festivals came, they had a good time. Moreover, foreign festivals pay attention to humanization, are more relaxed and romantic, and pay attention to emotional appeal, such as sending roses on Valentine's Day and Christmas Eve on St. Salim's Day, which are easily accepted by young people. However, the traditional festivals in China are generally educational, monotonous in form, and some are feudal, and at the same time they are not valued by the government. Various reasons have caused the situation of "foreign festivals are hot and cold". In fact, it is not wrong for China people to experience foreigners' festivals and appreciate foreign cultures. Isn't there a China Festival abroad? I'm also interested in Dragon Boat Festival and Water-splashing Festival. Therefore, it is unnecessary to worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries in foreign festivals. Everything will disappear after the holiday is warm. However, it is still necessary to remind the Chinese people that there is a limit to everything, and it is the eternal truth to exaggerate everything and truly make it a world of foreign festivals. On Christmas Eve, China 10 doctoral students jointly called on people to be cautious about Christmas. 10 doctors of philosophy or education from Wuhan University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University, Sun Yat-sen University, China Academy of Sciences and other famous schools or scientific research units issued a joint signature proposal, calling for being cautious about Christmas. They believe that "Christmas Carnival" is a collective unconscious behavior of Chinese people after the loss of subjectivity of traditional culture in China. Ten doctors boycotted Christmas. Recently, this proposal entitled "Getting Out of the Cultural Collective Unconsciousness and Upholding the Cultural Subjectivity of China-Our Views on Christmas" appeared in a prominent position on major websites. The first sentence of the article is "Western culture has evolved from a light breeze and drizzle to a storm in China. The most direct and concentrated embodiment is the quiet rise and increasing popularity of Christmas in China. " Wang Dashan, a self-proclaimed "folk scholar" and doctor of philosophy, believes in his article that every Christmas in China, shopping malls, restaurants and hotels hang "Christmas trees", employees wear "little red riding hood" and the posters of "Christmas ball" in schools occupy a prominent position; It is a collective unconscious behavior for people to meet and wish each other "Merry Christmas". The fundamental reason lies in the loss of theme and the sinking of subjectivity in China culture. Therefore, doctors called on "China people to treat Christmas with caution, get out of the cultural collective unconsciousness and bravely face the cultural subjectivity of China". The article also suggests that relevant government departments should re-examine and rationally regulate the increasingly popular "Christmas frenzy" in shopping malls, media, schools and other departments and industries within the scope of respecting freedom of religious belief and legal framework. Confucius was accused of being "Santa Claus" and was one of the sponsors of the proposal. Chen, a 2005 doctoral student majoring in philosophy in China, School of Philosophy, Wuhan University, said that he saw on the Internet that when Confucius was born on September 28 this year, when a teacher led pupils to pay homage to Confucius in front of the statue of Confucius in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, some pupils pointed to the white-bearded saint and said, "This old man is Santa Claus!" This matter has a great influence on him. It is associated with the fact that many college students are keen on Christmas now, and even primary and secondary school teachers organize students to engage in various Christmas activities, which further urges him to think. "We also know that our strength is limited, and we don't expect any immediate results," he said. "We just urge our people to seriously reflect on their lives and whether they have done it right." Scholars and netizens have different opinions. Zheng Dandan, an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, believes that the prevalence of foreign festivals, such as Christmas, occurs in the context of globalization or the infiltration of western civilization in the world, and is the result of the blending of different civilizations. Crossing the foreign festival is often a means of individual identity construction. Due to the strong position of western civilization, overseas festivals may be labeled as tasteful, fashionable and fashionable. In a sense, this is a kind of cultural hegemony. The rise of Christmas is caused by the state religion. In fact, many people in China are not interested in Christmas in the west, but with the enthusiasm of many young people for Christmas, it seems necessary to stop Christmas. Although China is not the country with the most festivals in the world, there are already many festivals, which are unbearable. With the popularity of Valentine's Day and April Fool's Day in recent years, Christmas undoubtedly set off a greater climax of foreign festivals. While cheering for foreign festivals, we also make educated China people feel sad. The boycott of Christmas by the "Ten Doctors" can be said to have brought a spring breeze of traditional culture, but it is really sad that it came from behind. Christmas has changed from a "light breeze and drizzle" to a "storm", from a "quiet rise" to an "increasingly popular" climate, with text messages flying all over the sky, people gathering and partying, lingering-all of which remind people of a "peaceful evolution" of culture. Everything in the west is good, and we children who don't have the ability to distinguish are all "takenism." I don't know if this is "the loss of theme and the sinking of subjectivity in China culture". But one thing is certain, we are "making wedding clothes for others". When we find our own nation cheering for other people's festivals, it is inevitable that we will not feel sad. If western countries cheer for our Spring Festival, we will certainly be amused by foreigners who yell at our national festivals. What are you cheering for? Is this your culture? Have you forgotten who is the son of the dragon? In fact, this situation will not happen, just a hypothesis. This is not a cultural prejudice, but for modern young people, they are lost in the joy of western festivals without guidance, not only can't see the day when the world is harmonious, but also don't know their nationality in the end. Just as China people always give themselves English names when they learn English together, in fact, English names can never replace China names, while China names are just playthings. When you take them seriously, you have undoubtedly lost yourself, and you will also make the latest "interpretation" of worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries. We might as well accept some international festivals, such as May Day, but be cautious about some national festivals unique to the West. We in China have our own festivals that embody excellent traditional culture, such as the Spring Festival. We don't need those foreign festivals to wish our interests. We should take the enthusiasm of young people seriously. They don't know the so-called Christmas and other foreign festivals. The most ridiculous thing is that in Qianjin Primary School where my daughter is located, the head teacher even asked each child to buy at least1.Christmas cards customized by their school in 5 yuan. I heard that some children also bought three cards to support their teachers' work. At Christmas, the teachers were all smiling, which made my parents laugh and cry. Education in China seems to have lost its traditional culture to some extent. No wonder children are westernized. It turned out to be the fault of education. It deserves our serious reflection!
