Why are too many people excited about western festivals, while the traditional Spring Festival in China is fading away!
The current calendar is solar calendar, not lunar calendar. Traditional festivals are often associated with the lunar calendar, but modern people have gradually lost the concept of the lunar calendar, and the concept of festivals corresponding to the lunar calendar is getting weaker and weaker. It may also be that the moon in the city is getting blurred. We don't know the habit and mood of judging time according to the moon and astrology in the sky, and we don't know the solar terms that are extremely important for men to plow and women to weave. Traditional festivals are becoming more and more blurred.
3. Merchants' hype has played a vital role in the entry of foreign festivals into China. Of course, the entry of foreign festivals also fills the emotional needs of people with modern education rather than traditional education, such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and so on. In China's traditional concept, filial piety is an important event, and there is no need for another festival to express it. However, modern people really can't do it many times. At this time, there is no proper way to express this feeling in traditional festivals in China, so foreign festivals take advantage of it.
