论传统节日的衰落:从时空设置的角度

On the Degeneration of traditional Festivals: from theViewpoint of Time-space Setting

作为一种重要的“时空设置”，节日体现的是集体生活的节奏和规律。当前中国的节日体系中，政治性节日缺少文化内涵和礼仪行为，宗教性节日缺少意识形态合法性，而传统的时令性节日已经在现代生活面前失去原有的地位。要想节日既传达出传统的文化价值，又能够促进社会各层次多方面的和谐发展，必须寻找到社会生活的整体节奏，并在节日的设置方面体现这一节奏。

As an important kind of timerhythm and pattern of collective life. It is a space setting, what festivals embody is the fact that among the contemporary festivals in China, the political festivals lack cultural contents and ritual activities, and religious festivals lack ideological legitimacy, while traditional seasonal festivals are already losing their original position in the face of the onslaught of modern life. If we want the festivals to ex- press traditional cultural values, and at the same time to enhance harmonious development of the society on its all levels, we must try to find the collective rhythm of social life, and then let this rhythm to manifest itself in the settings of the festivals.
