元旦是个尴尬的节日。一个节日的成立,除了时间有一个特定的选择外,它还应该有一个基本的文化内容。但元旦作为一个节日,缺少文化内容。人们往往视之为一个符号,没有民俗内容,没有在老百姓中形成习惯性的庆祝方式,所以很多人感到元旦空洞,和星期天没太大差别。 New Year’s Day is a dazzling holiday. The establishment of a holiday, in addition to a specific choice of time, it should also have a basic cultural content. However, as a holiday, New Year’s Day lacks cultural content. People often see it as a symbol, there is no folk content, there is no customary way of celebrating in the common people, so many people feel that New Year’s Day is empty and not too different from Sunday.
