Christmas and New Year's Day are both welcoming the new year. Some people like the foreign way, while others stick to the local culture. As a personal hobby, it is understandable. However, once it is raised to the height of protecting national traditional culture, this topic is a bit heavy. "Christmas fever" is also suspected of cultural invasion, and it is used by the media and the public from time to time. So, is "Christmas fever" really so terrible?

I don't think it's terrible! Not terrible, because "Christmas fever" and "New Year's Day fever" can't be compared. The traditional cultural elements of New Year's Day are no less than those of Christmas. Red lanterns symbolizing happiness, red Chinese knots, Spring Festival couplets filled with auspicious words, riddles full of wisdom, lively firecrackers, etc., are thousands of years of hobbies and customs of our ancestors driven away by a few Christmas trees? 　

Another reason why it is not terrible is that the rise of "Christmas fever" is a symbol of our nation's openness and self-confidence. In the past, we were closed and backward, and our cultural methods were monotonous and uniform. Now, through reform and opening up, our economic development, social progress and diversification of cultural life naturally come naturally. This is a historical progress, a concentrated expression of cultural prosperity, and a gratifying thing. How can it be terrible? 　

Therefore, the "Christmas fever" is a scene painstakingly invented by those who are worried about the difficult position of traditional culture, and even a feeling deliberately created by businesses driven by interests. But the "Christmas fever" really burns into a fire, and the fire is obviously not enough. When the door opens, something new will always come in. But once the novelty is over, we will still feel the most valuable things that the nation has had for thousands of years.

It is just a form for young people in China to celebrate foreign festivals, which is totally different from the traditional festivals. It is impossible to have the same complex as celebrating the Spring Festival. Liu Kuili said, "Nowadays, the cultural exchange between China and other countries in the world is increasing day by day. In all parts of the world, besides overseas Chinese, don't even many foreigners spend the Spring Festival with us? "

"Westerners will definitely stay at home at Christmas, but young people in China will not. The foreign festival has no ceremonial significance for them. In fact, it is only a form for China people to celebrate the foreign festival." Liu Kuili said that it is only for fun for foreigners to celebrate the Spring Festival. It is difficult for them to understand the core essence and spiritual aspects of celebrating the Spring Festival. Therefore, traditional festivals and foreign festivals don't have to be "life-and-death"
