Are Western Festivals Undermining Chinese Culture?
In recent years, more and more young people have been fascinated to celebrate western festivals, such as Valentine’s Day and Christmas. However, many young people don’t remember traditional Chinese festivals like Dragon Boat Festival and Festival of Lanterns. Some people, therefore, worry that western festivals are undermining Chinese culture. But in my opinion, this will not happen.
I believe that Chinese culture will be kept well. First, young people like to celebrate western festivals just because these festivals are fresh and interesting to them. When they get used to them, they will lose their interest in them. While the traditional Chinese festivals will be celebrated no~ matter whether people are interested or not, because it’s our own culture. Second, our country has set these traditional Chinese festivals as legal holidays so that people can have several days off from their work. People, especially young ones, like to have holidays on which they don’t need to go to school or work. Therefore, they will be counting the days when a traditional Chinese festival is coming and planning how to celebrate the festival.
In one word, western festivals will not undermine Chinese culture, but just add some fun into our daily lives.
