問題詳情：

The jingling bells of China’s Christmas celebrations bring little cheer to some diehard supporters of traditional culture．As young Chinese crowded to shopping malls，cinemas and restaurants on Christmas Eve，some were“celebrating”Christmas by watching traditional cultural films—a college of the Northwest University reportedly used this trick to keep its students from celebrating Christmas．In Wenzhou，schools were banned from holding Christmas activities．   

There is．a rising enthusiasm for traditional culture lately．Grand ceremonies were held across China this year to mark the anniversary of Confucius，parents have pushed their children to recite ancient Chinese classics and experts have called for the classics to be listed as a required course for students.

The debates over Christmas，however，show certain anxieties behind China’s cultural ambitions．Some critics associate Christmas with a public addiction to anything Western，while others regard it as the failure of Chinese culture．For Chinese Christmas fans，the logic is simple：Christmas is just a merry time to shop，party and exchange sifts．   

One reason for the growing popularity of Western festivals here，particularly among the young，is that they offer an excuse to be with friends and lovers，while traditional festivals are more family- centered，celebrated with family get-togethers and feasts．There is no need to compare Western festivals with Chinese：Chinese Christmas fans will still number among the hundreds of millions who travel home for the Lunar New Year family reunion．

That said，what Chinese festivals can learn from Christmas fever is how to build up their  appeal．There are Christmas，Valentine’s Day and Halloween movies but few such pop-culture products exist for Chinese festivals，except for some festive foods．Even the mooncake and other traditional sweets are developing to suit low-calorie modern life，as will traditional festivals，but development lies in confidently facing up to cultural imports．Banning them from joining the game is no fun．
