The Spring Festival has been gaining popularity among people around the world. It’s reported that it has become an international holiday since December 22, 2023.
Actually, many other Chinese festivals and art forms are also popular. Each of them has its own features. On the one hand, they largely enrich our life with colorful forms. For example, people can admire the full moon and eat mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival; On the Dragon Boat Festival, people usually eat zongzi and watch boat races. Besides, Chinese clay art pieces and Chinese paintings bring us enjoyable experiences. On the other hand, behind all the festivals and art forms lie true meanings which are often about reunion, sharing joy, thanks, love and so on. It is because of the fantastic meanings that China has great cultures. And the cultures are becoming more and more popular around the world. As we all know, ▲ They help us understand where we come from, who we are, and what we thank for.
So, what are we teenagers in China expected to do to inherit (继承), develop and spread our cultures? Of course, we should first learn more about the cultures in order to understand the true meanings better, which means we need build our cultural confidence firmly. What’s more, it’s necessary to join in activities that are good for spreading our cultures. Having a creative mind is also pretty important. Not only should we remember our traditions, but also we should seek (寻求) cultural exchanges and learn among cultures around the world.
