盲目跟風過節成時尚? 63.1%受訪者感到"過節疲勞"

A survey of 2,003 respondents aged 20-40 found that over half were dissatisfied with the over-commercialization of many Chinese "festivals."

一項對2003名20至40歲的受訪者的調查發現，超過半數的人對中國許多“節日”的過度商業化感到不滿。

The survey results, published by China Youth Daily showed that of 2,003 respondents, 63.1 percent said they were "tired" of many of today's so-called festivals.

Gao Yufei, 23, who works for a media company, said too many new festivals -- such as the online shopping spree "Double Eleven," so called because it occurs on Nov. 11 -- are merely "traps" to make people spend money.

23歲的高雨菲在一家媒體公司工作，她認爲許多新節日只不過是讓人們花錢的“陷阱”--例如每年11月11日的“雙十一”購物節。

Gao said she prefers traditional festivals like Spring Festival or Dragon Boat Festival.

During many festive periods it is common to send electronic "hongbao" -- red envelopes containing gift money -- on messaging apps or social media, according to the survey.

Zhou Yaping, associate professor with Lanzhou University, said people today are more concerned with the material side of festivities.

蘭州大學副教授周亞平表示，現在的人們更關注節日的物質方面。

Many celebrations have little more to offer than shopping or partying, which reflects a shift away from spiritual and cultural celebrations, Zhou said.
