I have to say many traditions are dying out, especially for those traditional crafts; most of them have been replaced by the modern industry.
很多习俗正在消失，特别是那些传统手工艺。它们中的大多数都被现代工业所取代了。
How can old traditions be kept alive (= continued)?传统习俗如何保留下来？
Traditions can be kept alive by keeping practicing and performing them. And they should not only be practiced, but taught to children. Passing them on from generation to generation is the most important part of human nature.传统习俗需要遵循，还需要去实践才能保留下来。不光是要实践，更要教给孩子们。把传统习俗传递给下一代是人们生活中最重要的部分。
Is Chinese culture being affected by foreign cultural influences?
中国文化被外国文化影响了么？
Kinda!! For instance, young people are celebrating Christmas every year, which is not a traditional Chinese festival. It’s hard to say if it is bad or not but the fact is China is becoming a ‘melting pot’. Foreign people are just helping add to that ‘melting pot’.有点儿!!举个例子，年轻人每年都在过圣诞节，这不是中国传统的节日。很难说这是好是坏但是中国现在正在变成一个“大融炉”，老外们正在帮忙往炉子里面填东西呢。（melting pot指各种族）
