[00:08.00]Maintaining Cultural Heritages of Traditional Holidays
[00:13.35]Traditional holidays,
[00:16.75]passed down from generation to generation,
[00:20.24]have stories behind with significant cultural heritages.
[00:25.15]Some holidays show our respect to ancestors,
[00:29.65]while others symbolize the spirit of love,
[00:33.10]courage, solidarity, etc.
[00:36.40]However, what people value more today
[00:40.63]when celebrating these traditional holidays
[00:44.11]is the chance for rest and spending,
[00:46.91]not the cultural significance traditional holidays convey to them.
[00:52.57]Besides, many people don't know
[00:55.69]what to do in these holidays except for sleeping,
[00:59.55]eating out or shopping.
[01:01.94]As I see it,
[01:03.44]we should try hard to maintain cultural heritages
[01:06.78]of traditional holidays,
[01:08.71]otherwise people will eventually forget them.
[01:12.51]In order to do this,
[01:14.43]it is suggestive that the government attach more importance
[01:18.42]to the protection of cultural heritages of traditional holidays.
[01:23.02]Moreover,
[01:24.39]schools and media should work together to educate the public
[01:28.50]what the traditional holidays mean to us,
[01:31.42]what interesting stories are behind them,
[01:34.40]and what are the traditions in this holidays.
[01:38.14]I believe, with due efforts,
[01:41.12]these holidays together with their cultural values,
[01:44.92]will be cherished and maintained.
