TheCelebrationofWesternFestivals
NoonecanhavefailedtonoticethefactthatWesternfestivalsgainever-increasingpopularityinChina.AnincreasingnumberofChinesearefondofcelebratingWesternfestivalstoday.OnValentine’sDay,manypeople,especiallytheyoung,giveflowersorchocolatetotheonetheylove;whenChristmasapproaches,nearlyeverystoreputondecorationslikeSantaClaus,snowflakesandevenChristmastrees,nottomentionthemillionsofpeopleimmersedinthethrillingatmosphereoffestivalonChristmasEve;evensuchholidaysasHalloweenandtheEasterDayarebecomingknownandcelebratedbymoreandmoreChinese.Incomparison,suchtraditionalChinesefestivalsastheSpringFestival,theFestivalofLanternsandtheMid-AutumnDayseemtobelosingtheirattraction.
Inviewofsuchasituation,manyareworriedthatChineseculturewillbeignoredorevenruinedbytheinvasionofWesternfestivals.Personally,Ibelievethatweneedn’tbeoverworried.Actually,theincreasingpopularityofsomeWesternfestivalsinChinaisnothingaccidental,butsomethingjustifiable.
