Abstract:
Festivals and holidays have been widely concerned home and abroad in recent years. Although we still celebrate various festivals with long history dating back to the ancient times, the cultural connotations embodied in those festivals seem to be ignored by the modern society. Grown up in this modern society, the young generations prefer celebrations of some foreign holidays rather than Chinese traditional ones. Traditional holidays represent traditional culture, breed from traditional culture. Traditional holidays are also “non-material cultural inherits”. Therefore, protection of Chinese traditional festivals is the need of Chinese own cultural identification and representation of cultural conscious. This article discusses why Chinese traditional festivals become unpopular and make some suggestions about how to inherit and protect traditional culture.
Key words: traditional festivals; foreign holidays; traditional culture

A brief introduction will be given in the following part. There are many foreign festivals as well. Three foreign festivals will be introduced. They are Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day and Mothers’ Day. The reason why those three foreign festivals are chosen is that they are very popular in China and Chinese people celebrate them more often than other foreign festivals.

The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
