Festivals have to evolve with time

China Daily | Updated: 2016-06-13 07:20

ALTHOUGH PEOPLE celebrated Dragon Boat Festival, one of the four most important traditional festivals in China, just a couple of days ago, many complained that the old feeling about traditional festivals is fading with commercialization eating into celebrations. But there is nothing to worry about, says Guangming Daily, because traditions can never be rigid.

It seems we have given up (or forgotten) most of the traditional ways of celebrating Dragon Boat Festival. Most of us neither take part in dragon boat races nor play with dragon boats. Many don't even eat the traditional rice puddings, let alone holding traditional sacrificial ceremonies.

We prefer shopping and traveling, instead, which make the festival seem commercial.
