中美传统节日文化差异

4.Interacting with each other in the West festival

By contrast than traditional festival of Chinese and USA, you can see both the natural environment and from different cultural backgrounds, there are obvious differences. But the two are not \each other\things in common. USA festival as a national carrier of culture, once and continues to play an active role in the culture. Specific view, the cultural connotation of Chinese and USA heritage festivals are invariably load, mainly around two aspects. First, that the two festivals and cultural yearning and love for the good life. Such as the USA Christmas, people heard the maximum sentence is, \Christmas\while in China's Spring Festival, people will see is the \the heritage of care for the young, admired historical figures Passing civilization of love and loyalty. China has the Chung Yeung Festival for the Elderly, and the West is also Father's Day, Mother's Day; love of people loyal to the West and promising to set up a Valentine's Day, while China has Cowherd Magpie Bridge Tanabata festival. Because of these natural similarities between the current era and USA economic and cultural exchanges increasingly on the occasion, the two festivals each other frequently and cultural infiltration, influence each other, you have a solid foundation and a reliable premise. \recent years, more and more people, especially young people pay attention to the foreign section, especially Christmas, while the local Chinese New Year festival in particular interest is fading, which of course did not miss any opportunity to make money with the business, the hype about the more young people to pursue fashion and are closely linked.

goodwill and interest of the Chinese New Year has become increasingly strong. Now the world is increasingly accepted by Chinese New Year, the global nature of this traditional festival is increasingly evident in the pace of economic globalization is accelerating today, China not seclusion in their own traditional culture to flourish, we must also learn from the best part of USA culture for my own use. At present, the rapid development of China's economic and social, economic and cultural exchanges have become increasingly frequent in the West, Chinese traditional culture began to go abroad, to show the world its unique charm, the Chinese people have begun to understand the charm of USA culture. In USA culture of mutual penetration, merging, which are two cultural trend of the times, maintain the vitality of a great boon.

Both are also common among the different ethnic personality, and personality in which to play an important role, have the charm and personality of the value of existence, \the world.\have different geographical, historical origins and cultural traditions, which doomed them back and the development of different purposes.
