Thanksgiving is on a warm winter day. What is the significance of our Thanksgiving Day?
I am a traditional China person, so I am not interested in these exotic festivals. I don't think it's meaningful to spend Thanksgiving in China. These festivals are just a means for merchants to promote sales. There are so many traditional programs in our country, why do we have to catch up with other people's festivals? It is good for them to celebrate their festival, and it is also good for us in China to have a good festival handed down by our ancestors.

First of all, Thanksgiving Day belongs to the western festivals and has nothing to do with the culture of China.

In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that Thanksgiving Day is a holiday created by Americans. The so-called Thanksgiving Day is a time for Americans to get together as a family. The initial date is temporarily decided by the States. It was not until 1863 that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. It was not until 194 1 that the US Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of June as Thanksgiving Day. So far, few countries in the world really regard Thanksgiving as a formal holiday, mainly the United States and Canada. This short festival has nothing to do with the people of China and the traditional culture of China. In other words, the Chinese translation is better, which makes everyone fall in love with it.

Second, now Thanksgiving Day is a good opportunity for merchants to promote sales.

In fact, the domestic public has no concept of Thanksgiving at all. Many times, it is repeated propaganda by some businesses for promotion. The current situation in China is that traditional festivals do not allow foreign festivals to stimulate consumption. Therefore, merchants rack their brains to make use of all available foreign festivals in order to achieve sales results.

I don't know the original intention of Americans to celebrate Thanksgiving, but I don't think it is necessary for us in China to follow this trend. We have so many traditional festivals, why not have more fun than us?
