Modal

In the course of globalization, western culture has flooded into China at an almost non-stop rate. Along with it come western festivals, the most influential of which is Christmas. As a result of this “culture invasion”, more and more Chinese people, particularly the youth, are abandoning traditional Chinese festivals. There is even a prediction that the Spring Festival will ultimately be replaced by Christmas. However, personally I’m not in favor of this statement, as the Spring Festival is a kind of cultural heritage serving as a spiritual legacy for all of us to cling to, regardless of any hindrance.

First of all, observing Christmas does not mean that the Spring Festival can be neglected. The Spring Festival has its roots in Chinese history, from which it requires its identity and meaning irreplaceable by Christmas. As Christmas stemmed from Western civilization, it can’t easily fit in

with Chinese society, let alone take the place of the Spring Festival.

Secondly, the Spring Festival expresses our true emotions while Christmas cannot. Often, the Spring Festival arouses a feeling of eternal harmony, creates a sense of happiness, and conveys a message of family. However, Christmas goes no further than one night’s pleasure or some fancy presents, which is surely to fade away with passing tide of time and memory.

The Spring Festival is not going to lose its vigor to Christmas, as it’s just like a warm beacon for all the Chinese to gather around to cheer, to dream and to carry on.
