Destroy Cultural Traditions or Save Them? When travelling, we’d like to see some ceremonies related with local cultural traditions, especially when there are some exotic and interesting ones that we can participate in. Thus, it is not odd to see that some cultural traditions are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. As for this phenomenon, different people have different opinions. Some people believe that cultural traditions will be destroyed by these performances and that making money is not the purpose of cultural traditions. The meaning of cultural traditions is just to be practiced, repeated and handed down to younger generations so that they can learn what our ancestors once learnt. The beauty of cultural traditions lies in their primal and original ways, which should not be altered by any means. However, to attract tourists, we must make compromises, since old ways may not appeal to modern people any more. For example, a ritual might be sacred and solemn, thus requires all attendees to eat only leaves in its 7-day-long duration for some religious reason. But if we ask tourists to do that, nobody will come. They come to experience an exotic and interesting culture, not to suffer from the austere ways of our ancestors. But if we change the way we do the ritual, the meaning of it will be lost. However, some people regard it as a good way and even the only way to preserve traditions, since the rituals, the costume, the art and even the food can be known by more people and be spread widely. Through this way, the cultural traditions live permanently in people’s mind, since they will remember the rituals they practiced, the way they were dressed up and the meaning of the traditions that had been explained to them. In my opinion, I partly agree with both of the above views, because I think we can use it as a way to spread cultural traditions, but aiming at money-making will definitely make the traditions lose their original meanings. We can’t insulate traditions from outside world, since if we never let the other people learn about them and rely on the natural passing down from generation to generation, they will perish when the younger generation don’t cherish them. We need to and are obliged to display them to more and more people, but the purpose is not to make money. So I recommend that we set up some cultural traditions’ performing areas for people to learn but not to change the rituals just because of the money they can attract.
