春节感言

春到河畔,春节灯市,过年的喜庆节目‘无聊’?
简单的一句话,但是对我而言,是很深奥的。因为它反映了
现代人的心理。
极度不平衡!
为何呢?
圣诞节,情人节,开斋节,浴佛节(VESAK)等节日,也是‘换汤不换药’。
庆祝方式一样,装饰品一样。
‘反对’,‘无聊’声很少(虽然还是有)。
春节呢?华人占总人口70%,但是‘无聊’声越来越大声!
我觉得是华人不懂得‘appreciate’自己的文化。
过度崇洋,过度自我‘中心’。
当然,主办单位也要负起责任。无厘头的东西要减少。
展览要有深度,不要那么肤浅。展览资料要正确!好像这次春到河畔介绍华人节日,其中缺少了很多重要资料没展出,而且有些资料也不太正确。
端午节不只是纪念屈原。
中元节不是佛教节日。
春节竟然没介绍接财神,初一贺正,开年等。
‘天公’是道教玉皇上帝没介绍。
元宵节正确名称-上元节来源没交代 (来源是道教祭祀的天官信仰-天官赐福)
冬至是华人24节气,不是冬天过了,而是冬天到了极点。
清明也是24节气之一。
中秋节非祭祀常娥啊,是祭祀月亮!华人很重视日月星三光的祭祀。
华人要懂得珍惜,欣赏自己文化。不要固步自封,自以为是。
自己不断丢掉自己文化,外国人不断学习我们的文化(包括华文)。
真实可惜。

wahaha... u noe wats ur weakness? u r too critical abt stuff... minute issues/stuff.. as many wld call it "wats your problem"

well it does not mean tt is not good...but being too uptight abt things like for this instance.. it was jus a sentence, no harm... why get upset over this??

so u see.. because of ur straight words, u might haf indirectly upset those ppl involved... and remember u saying tt u wanna change? this is it... sumtimes things need not be cared so much... take it and leave it... no point grappling onto the thing and hope sumthing will happen or turn good...

sumtimes jus let it pass.. u will feel better and younger

Cos i am somehow in the 'educational' field for some years already, trying to strengthen and educate ppl on Chinese traditions and beliefs. that is why i am extremely concern about such a thing.

'Displeasure' about something STARTS from small comments, maybe 1 or 2 'undesirable' feelings and slowly grew from there. IF it is not address, things will become big.

e.g:
'A' person say "this is boring."
then 'A' will tell 'B'. B person, after hearing A for a few times may really start to think it is really boring. Then things will spread.

A or B will in return, show sign of reluctune to appreciate it cos its boring and in return, pass on this behaviour to their children and their children will also be influenced. things roll again.
