more popular in China.A survey carried out in some big cities of China shows that a great number of young people enjoy western holidays.,There are two main factors which lead to this phenomenon.,Firstly,it bases on the economy.As Chinas open-door policies,it brings not only the rapidly developing of economic,but also the melting of western culture.Many foreign countries are attracted to invest in China because of the opening police.Food,drink,cloths,all these things are imported in China.,So are the cultures and festivals.,Secondly,business people take these festivals as opportunities to gain profits.Celebrating foreign festivals seems to be a fashion and a mark of the wealthier class,and today people are all crazy about it,but they throw the meaning and the culture away,just take the chance to relax themselves.,Others,are arguing that people are loosing their traditional values and the respect of historical heritage,(继承物),.China has the traditional,Qixi,Festivals for expressing the love,and Double Ninths,for respecting the olds,which less people know about,especially the youth who crazy about the Valentines Day,Fathers Day and Mothers Day.,Chinese festivals have its own origin which formed through a long history.,On Double Ninths,people will climb mountains and enjoy the,chrysanthemum,;and on,Qixi,Festivals,women can pray to get a happy marriage.And all these traditions are more valuable and worth to be cherished.By comparison,foreign festivals highlight the entertainment and sending gifts,while,Chinese festivals focus on getting together and enjoy the family ship,and teach people to respect others and so on.These are all good characters of our Chinese.Above all,western holidays brought us some entertainment,at the same time it caused some bad effects.,In my opinion,,,when we are,learning,the western knowledge,receiving,the foreign information,we should know more about our traditional festivals,respect,them and,cherish,them.,we should not indulge ourselves too much in the western festivals and neglect the bad effect they have brought.,2nd,Today,western festivals become more and more popular in China.A
