Abstract:In the globalization, most of people prefer to accept the foreign culture. The goods from abroad are popular in the cities, and attract many people. Except the consumer culture, like the foreign car and wine, which lead the new trend of the times, some foreign festivals, like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s day, Christmas day, are also in fashion. In order to make the Chinese Spring Festival a unique traditional culture, and inherit its meaning in the culture, continue to exist in the history and not to be overwhelmed by other foreign culture and festivals, this thesis analyses the differences between Christmas and Spring Festival by means of comparison. And the festival should make people remember more traditions and festivals in order for them to have more passion and energy to understand their own history, and acquire their meaning of existence.

摘 要:在全球化发展的时代，国人乐于接受外来文化的倾向是一致的，舶来品在国内的流行也就特别引人注目，其中，除了外来的消费文化如洋车、洋酒等领导消费新潮流之外，一些洋节，如情人节、母亲节、圣诞节等也逐渐流行起来。为了使节庆这个承载着独特民族传统的文化介质更好地传承继续下去，并不被其他文化和节庆所吞噬，通过对西方（主要是美国）圣诞节和中国春节进行描述，在归类和比较的基础上，分析了中美两国文化，让人们多的记住中国的传统节日，有更多的激情和精力去了解它们的来源，学习它们存在的意义。
