      Chinese city bans Christmas celebrations in schools

    In recent decades, celebrating Christmas has become trendy among young Chinese, who see the Christian festival as a merry time to shop, party and dine with their friends and significant others. Meanwhile, supporters of traditional Chinese culture have warned against cultural invasion since young people are more willing to celebrate Western festivals than Chinese traditional ones.

Therefore, Schools of Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province banned Christmas celebrations this year, which is meant to guide schools in stressing the importance of China's traditional festivals.

    "No middle school, primary school or kindergarten may hold any Christmas-themed activity or celebration," according to the notice issued by the city's educational authority, adding that the rule should be enforced strictly.

The purpose of the Christmas ban is not to abandon all Western festivals, but to change the schools' obsession(热衷于) with Western festivals at the expense of Chinese ones, said Zheng Shangzhong of the city's educational bureau. “Schools have more of a responsibility to tell children the meaning of traditional festivals such as the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Lunar New Year,” he said. He also worried that Chinese traditional festivals and culture were fading away as more Chinese accept and worship Western traditions.
