Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are. 礼节和典礼有助于定义一个文化。如果没有这些，社会或者团体就会逐渐地迷失自我。 正文： Admittedly, rituals and ceremonies are very significant for a culture in that they can help define a culture. However, a cultures essence lies not in some specific ceremony or ritual, which are just symbols yet can not stand for the whole, but in common people daily life, though which one can have more profound and comprehensive understanding concerning a culture and a nation. It is the fact that ceremonies and rituals are necessary for a nation or culture to distinguish itself from others. People display and pass down their important customs and traditions though ceremonies. The Spring Festival in China is just a case in point.The Spring Festival is the most important ceremony for most Chinese, even those who have settled in foreign countries. In our minds, this ceremony is a paramount symbol for our nation and culture. Though in this rapid-pace life, people would not spend a whole month to celebrate the ritual, most of them would choose to go home to stay several days with their families and friends. And for western countries, it is undeniable that the most important ceremony is Christmas, which is also the mark of their culture.Santa-Clause, Christmas trees, presents in socks, all of them help to define their culture. In a word, different rituals and ceremonies are symbols for different cultures and nations, though which people in the culture would have a clearer sense of who they are and people outside the culture would have a basic understanding of that culture, especially the positive aspects. |
