1.中国传统节日受到冷遇,西方节日却日益升温

2.形成这种现象的原因

3.你对这种现象的态度

It is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected.

Old people often complain that Chinese New Year has lost its real meaning. To their astonishment, young people in China who are ignorant of Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas or Valentine’s day.

There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, an increasing number of Chinese are exposed to western cultures due to the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of lobalization enables western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western cultures.

Admittedly, I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence so all of us are supposed to exert painstaking efforts to protect Chinese traditions, especially traditional holidays.
