Santa Claus is in a supermarket
Christmas is also known as Christmas, the birth of Jesus, is popular in the Western countries of a traditional festival, this festival was born by the ancient Romans to welcome the celebration of the New Year's Festival of Saturnalia derived, and later in the Christian Roman Empire gradually became popular, this folk festival is also naturally integrated into the Christian system, while celebrating the birth of Jesus, posterity will be the december 25 of each year as Christmas.
Every year on December 25th of the Gregorian calendar, it is Christmas in Western countries, as a religious holiday, the popularity is very wide! Most countries in the world, especially in Asia, are vying for the festival! When you walk into the major shopping malls, you must be greeted by all kinds of Christmas decorations and Santa Claus
If it is Said that the Christians are Christians, there is nothing wrong with the holidays, but it is difficult to understand that those who do not believe in Christianity and some who do not know the origin of Christmas also celebrate Christmas.
What is puzzling is that at this time, a large number of parents will tell children about Santa Claus stories, how interesting it is to popularize Western culture for them, and some will buy Christmas trees for children to play, and then put the classic "merry christmas" at home! In this way, children who know nothing about Christmas are influenced by adults and the surrounding environment, and subtly regard Christmas as a "traditional festival" in China! ”
Some adults will think that the festival is very foreign, showing the festive atmosphere in the circle of friends, however, the circle will be driven, and the festival will have a "phenomenon of human-to-human transmission!" Everyone said "Merry Christmas!" ”
As everyone knows! Festivals in Western countries such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. These festivals are actually not related to our Chinese eight rods, and our China has the Dragon Boat Festival, the Qixi Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival and so on! Some people may say that in today's globalized world, we should learn to tolerate and absorb, but I don't think so! Because traditional culture is the foundation of a nation, the reason why a nation is united is because of cultural recognition! However, the invasion of Western culture will dilute this recognition in a sense! The more people celebrate the foreign festival, the traditional culture has become dispensable, and there is no longer that important position!
Generalization of the foreign festival is definitely not a good thing, and maybe it will feel like just entertainment at the moment! And years from now? I don't know!
Today's Chinese is unprecedented in its desire for foreign festivals, but throughout western countries, it rarely celebrates Chinese festivals, why? Because in a way it's cultural confidence! Other countries may wonder, if their own festivals are so colorful and interesting, and they are high, why should they go to foreign festivals?
