A bright moon, eternal feelings. As an important traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Mid-Autumn Festival carries the beautiful expectation of family reunion, embodies the humanistic concept of harmony and symbiosis, and contains profound cultural genes of the family and the country. To understand the Mid-Autumn Festival culture, we must not only see the reunion and warmth of the fireworks, but also tap into the spiritual power behind the festival so that traditional culture can flourish in the new era.
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. The core of Mid-Autumn Festival culture begins with family reunion and sublimates into the unity of the country and the family. The ancients offered sacrifices to the moon, prayed for it, and expressed their feelings by looking at the moon. From the longing of "the bright moon shines on the sea, we can share this moment in the world" to the wish of "may we live long, and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away", a full moon connects the family concerns of thousands of families.
"A family is the smallest country, and a country is like thousands of families." The reunion of the Mid-Autumn Festival has always been more than just a small family gathering. Border guards at border posts, medical staff in hospital emergency rooms, and security workers on transportation lines, countless people stick to their posts to protect the lights of thousands of homes. Although they cannot sit around with their families to admire the moon, they use their dedication to protect the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, vividly explaining that "only with a strong country can we have a rich family." The Mid-Autumn Festival integrates family affection, national identity, and feelings of home and country, reflecting the unity of the nation and the tranquility of mountains and rivers.
To inherit the Mid-Autumn Festival culture, we must adhere to its roots and also innovate and develop. In recent years, various places have relied on the new era of civilized practice to hold activities such as moon appreciation poetry gatherings, intangible cultural heritage lantern exhibitions, and folk experience experiences, allowing traditional customs to enter communities and campuses. National trend of cultural creativity, digital cloud moon viewing, online poetry sharing... young people use short videos, immersive experiences and other methods to unlock new ways to play the Mid-Autumn Festival, making the traditional festival more relevant to contemporary life. It needs to be noted that inheritance is not about being retro-conservative, nor can it rely on commercial gimmicks. It must maintain the cultural core of reunion, harmony, and gratitude, advocate simple, frugal, and civilized festivals, and enhance cultural confidence and feelings of family and country.
Traditional festivals are an important carrier of cultural confidence. The bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a cultural symbol shared by all Chinese people; the expectation of reunion is the feelings of family and country shared by all Chinese people. A bright moon spans the mountains and seas, carrying thoughts and lighting up the way home. To inherit the Mid-Autumn Festival culture, we must make good use of the cultural classroom of traditional festivals, integrate family tradition building, national unity, and patriotism into folk activities, and guide people to understand the profound heritage of Chinese civilization. Integrate festival culture into daily life and promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture to take root at the grassroots level and infiltrate people's hearts, thereby transforming the expectation for a happy family into the motivation to start a business.
The moon fills the mountains and rivers, and the cultural context lasts forever. We should use festivals as media to protect the roots of traditional culture, tell traditional cultural stories while maintaining integrity and innovation, let the bright moon shine on the road ahead, and gather the spiritual power of hundreds of millions of people to work together.
