Question

【題目】Answer the questions(根據(jù)以下內容回答問題)

Many young people love western festivals not because of their cultural meaning, but because of life fun. They don't think it important to know the cultural meaning about western festivals. Actually, we don't just need to remember their names, but we should have an understanding of their culture and history. Western festivals are popular in China because of the differences between western festivals and Chinese ones.

Chinese festivals and western festivals were born for different reasons. Chinese festivals mainly came from celebrations, worship and other activities. However, most western festivals are linked with religions(宗教). Also the ways that western people and Chinese people celebrate festivals aren't similar. Let's take Christmas and the Spring Festival as an example. At Christmas, people prepare Christmas cards, Christmas trees and hold Christmas evenings. Traditionally, Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival based on blood relationship in the forms of watching television and paying New Year's visits. In addition, western festivals deliver quite different values from Chinese ones. For example, the Valentine's Day, which falls on February14th,adds fresh mind to Chinese. The festival spreads seeds in-every corner of China and encourages people to look for true love which belongs to themselves. Ancient Chinese people don't dare to think of that.

Whether you like western festivals or not, you can't ignore the effect western festivals they have brought to us. We are paying more attention to thanks-giving and emotions instead of food and money. They have made great contributions to enrich our culture.
