1.Why is it important to protect traditions?
It is of great importance to preserve traditions because of several reasons. One obvious reason is that traditions are related to folk literature, myths and legends. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is dedicated to the memory of Qu Yuan, the loyal minister in the Warring States Period. The valued spirit of a nation can be then handed down from generation to generation through these public activities. Another more underlying reason is that customs are conductive to strengthening social stability and national cohesion and pride. When families gather together and wish good luck towards each other, they feel more of a member of the society and want to contribute to it instead of doing damage to it.
2.What's the most important tradition in your country?
The most significant tradition is related to the Spring Festival which features family reunions. As earlier as one or two weeks before the festival, the whole family will go out and do Spring Festival shopping, including pork, beef, mutton, vegetables and beers and wines. On the Chinese New Year eve, people will wear new clothes from head to toe and seniors will offer pocket money to juniors and children. At eight o’clock, all the families will gather around a table, eat the big dinner as they are watching the CCTV New Year’s Gala.
3.What kinds of traditions have disappeared in your country?
Many traditional customs have vanished. The Double Ninth Festival features climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine, to avoid evil spirits and misfortunes. However, few people will choose to do so and would rather stay at home and sleep. Also, the tradition of eating Laba porridge on the Laba Festival is fading away, especially in warm southern China. What’s more, fewer people are capable of excellent Chinese calligraphy and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth” and “longevity” can never be found on the doors of city neighborhood.
4.Why should children learn about traditions?
Traditions are the cream of the long history of a country or a region. By learning about traditions, kids can develop their identity of nation and inherit a particular kind of spirit. For example, on the Mid-Autumn Festival juveniles, together with their parents and peers, will eat moon cakes outside in the moonlight, guess lantern riddles and listen to the Chinese mythology of Chang'e, the goddess in the moon. They will also learn to worship the god by being told that dragon dances are for praying for favorable weather and bountiful harvests while lion dances are for dispelling and scaring away devils and bringing good fortune.
5.What can governments do to protect traditions?
Governments play an irreplaceable role in every aspect of life, including politics, economy, and culture. To conserve traditions, authorities should focus on propagation, legalization, and innovation. Firstly, governments should take full advantage of media, especially the Internet, to promote traditional customs. Also, if more traditional festivals can be set as legal holidays and more traditional arts like paper-cutting and origami can be regarded as cultural heritage, more awareness can be raised. More importantly, governments should encourage the young to participate in customs, so that new elements can be added to decayed and rotten routines. Dying arts of Feng Yang Flower Drum, Yunnan Flower Lantern Dance and the Northeast Yangge might be rejuvenated by combination with the latest popular Western dancing such as hip-pop and reggae.
