In the past two days, the stampede in Itaewon, South Korea has frequently become a hot search. The accident has killed 153 people and injured more than 100 people. In addition, 4 Chinese people have also died in the accident.
Looking back at the stampede incident, mainly because large-scale crowds gathered in Itaewon on this day to celebrate Halloween. As we all know, Western Halloween is November 1st every year. During this festival, many people will dress up and try to dress themselves up weirdly. On this day, the children will dress up as all kinds of cute ghosts and knock on the door one by one, asking for candy from the owner, and there is a saying that "doesn't give me candy" is said.
Originally, this was just a festival in the West, but now, more and more people in our country are having this festival. Some kindergartens even make great efforts on this day. In order to create a festive atmosphere for their children, they also let the children dress up and come to school, and celebrate this foreign festival.
In addition to Halloween, Christmas Eve and Christmas are also one of the most popular foreign festivals for Chinese people today. People will give each other gifts on this day. Parents will tell their children the legend about Santa Claus , place socks on the head of the child's bed and put gifts while the child is asleep, so that the child will have a surprise when he wakes up the next day.
So, more and more people celebrate foreign festivals, how do you view this phenomenon?
Regarding the issue of Chinese people celebrating foreign festivals, this is a question of different opinions and wisdom.
Personally, needs to be viewed rationally in the phenomenon of Chinese people celebrating foreign festivals. Under the general environment of reform and opening up , both Chinese and Western cultures run through, and it is not surprising that foreign festivals invasion are invaded. Today's young people love to pursue the so-called sense of ritual, especially among young couples. Therefore, as long as there is a festival, I want to spend it and feel the sense of festive ritual.
is not bad, and some of them are worth learning from, such as Thanksgiving, Father's Day , etc. The introduction of these two festivals has taught children to learn to be grateful and has also given the next generation more feelings about the silent fatherly love.
In addition, the phenomenon of Chinese people celebrating foreign festivals can stimulate consumption and drive the domestic economic development . The phenomenon of celebrating the foreign festival also reflects my country's tolerance for foreign culture, which is also conducive to attracting foreigners to do business activities in our country.
However, if you just blindly celebrate the foreign festival and absorb foreign culture without brainstorming, and overly sought after it, it will also have a bad impact.
If the Chinese blindly worship foreign festivals and worship foreign countries, but forget their own excellent cultural traditions and overly worship foreign countries, it will trigger a bad atmosphere in society, and over time, foreign culture will spread.
In addition, if children are implanted with too many foreign festival ideas and foreign cultures, it is easy to affect their children's ideas and concepts. The next generation we want to cultivate should be full of cultural confidence, rather than just knowing how to praise foreign culture.
In fact, many foreign festivals are a means for merchants to promote for profit. In order to make money, merchants act as promoters of foreign festivals in order to create more festival atmosphere so that their products can be sold better. Many young people have a blind mentality of following the crowd, without the concept of independent judgment, and are prone to follow the crowd. Some even do not know the origin of this foreign festival at all. They are just proud of celebrating foreign festivals out of their mentality of admiring foreign countries.
In short, China has more than 5,000 years of excellent traditional culture and cannot be eroded by the West. We still have to return to the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Chinese civilization is the oldest civilization in the world and the greatest civilization.
For the next generation, we should promote our country's excellent traditional culture more, let them understand the origin of traditional festivals, and fully establish cultural confidence in the motherland, so that they can be beneficial to the future development of the country.
Therefore, we cannot blindly respect the phenomenon of Chinese people celebrating foreign festivals, and we should not boycott them lightly. If you blindly call for boycotting the foreign festival, you will seem to be less confident in our culture. Whether it is a foreign festival or not depends entirely on personal freedom.
