No.4 No.4 no Realgar WineBut drinking beer with friendsnDo you agree with me?May be you have more special or adventurous ways of celebration like these.The question All in all .we have totally been free from the atmosphere of tradition. Its nothing but a free holiday to do what I want to do. However the question is whether we should return to traditional festivals . This produces too much social discussion Public discussion We may discover that in the process of discussion the western festivals have been hotter, becoming the pursuing of the after 90s . You really will read: on every festival day I will miss my relatives when everyone is shrouded in western festival, your heart will not move?Official discussion We have benefit from the result of the official discussion .For it stretchs the span of holiday from 1 day to 3 days . Conclusion Frankly speaking, Chinese traditional festival is increasingly sagging. But this also cant all be the responsibility of after 90s, it may results in the development of the Times and the present tendency. Well we still have the freedom of choosing which festival to celebrate. 2024/7/23端午节24 Thanks you !
