Chinese style Christmas: carnival belongs to the Chinese younger generation In recent China, especially mainland of China, the Christmas becomes more and more important, especially young people, they carry out various activities in this evening, they held party or dinner, or shopping, they are so fond of this religious festival - from the Western Christmas. But in fact that most of them do not believe Christian. On Christmas Eve and carnival night, almost all of the entertainment and consumer places are crowded, most of the city's roads are serious jams. Some people denounced that young people are forget Chinese traditional festivals, and keen on western festivals, it is betrayal to traditional culture of China, is blind worship of western culture, some people even think that this is Chinese social’s tragedy. However, in my personal view, the so-called “China style Christmas”, not same to the Chinese traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, and different from the Western tradition of Christmas, it is just belongs to the young generation, it is a special holiday in China. Because, in China traditional Spring Festival, most of people have to endure the pain of long-distance transportation, especially during the Spring Festival traffic, back to their hometown, when they back home, also face the pressure from their family, hey have to be asked some questions, for example, how much salary? Why you have no girl/boy friend? why not get married? why not to have a child? but also a lot of pressure are come from traditional culture and customs, such as to give many children “gift money”, and to visit some relations ,even many of them you don't know and not friendly. And time, it is difficult for them to their true friends, like this the festival is actually not real happy, it is just a kind of form. However, in Chinese, Christmas has become to a opportunity for the young people to maintain their relationship and to know new friends, they do not have to bear any tradition,and not need go to the church like westerners, they and their friends just watching movies, singing Cara OK, having dinner, and variety of entertainment in their most favour way, to release stress of works for this year. At the same time, the festival has give many opportunities to majority of businesses. Therefore, the Chinese Christmas, just a kind of carnival, people need such an opportunity to be happy, and the business need such an opportunity. Hence this question such as it is against to tradition, or copy the western custom, who cares?
