Promoting traditional Chinese festivals
Traditional Chinese festivals are an important part of Chinese culture. We must protect and promote these festivals so that our children can understand what it means to be Chinese.
Traditional festivals teach us about our country’s history. Rich humanistic spirits can be found at the heart of traditional festivals, a result of Chinese values of kindness and unity being passed down from generation to generation. By observing traditional festivals, we will have a better understanding of the historical importance of these qualities in our country. We can therefore develop our national pride.
Sample
State the importance.
Many parties have important roles to play in promoting traditional Chinese festivals. The government should declare public holidays on some traditional festivals. The media can help spread more knowledge about these traditions so as to raise people’s interest in the origins and history of the festivals. Schools can also hold more activities which help draw students’ attention to our traditions.
With the joint efforts of these different parties, people will pay more attention to traditional Chinese festivals, and be prouder of Chinese culture.
Offer ways to promote.
Make a call for action.
