The Prevalence of Western Holidays
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, ignorant about 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, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to flood in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while dismiss our own possessions with contempt.
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. On the contrary, they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. 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 let's join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition！
西方节日的流行
值得注意的是，西方的节日变得日渐流行，而中国的传统节日都是受冷落。老年人经常抱怨说，中国新的一年已经失去了其真正的意义。令他们惊讶的是，中国的年轻人对中国传统节日的无知，而是对于圣诞节或情人节疯狂。
这一现象有几个可能的原因。首先，西方国家，如美国和英国，在各方面的强大优势。在这些国家，一切都被认为是优越的，一些现代的年轻人崇拜。第二，流行的英语作为一种世界语言与全球化的发展，使西方文化涌入中国。被这一趋势，中国无意卷入西方文化。最后但并非最不重要的，有些中国人有迷信外国的东西，而蔑视我们自己的财产。
我这个趋势感到至关严峻。中国拥有辉煌的历史和灿烂的传统。近代以来，中国传统应该保持和促进。但似乎不再珍惜传统的年轻人。相反，他们转向追求一个理应更积极的现代文化。如果这种趋势继续下去，我们祖先的无价的遗产将取代西方的传统。没有人希望这样的结果。让我们携手保护中国传统吧！
