However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的).In most countries around the world, you can find KFC. Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee. American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don't like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.

The word culture includes not only the customs of our society, its art, music, for many, alarming. Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat(威胁), the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization(全球化)and progress. So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance?

Those who see globalization as a threat think that societies are losing special parts of their cultures. For example, Omotik, a language spoken in East Africa, so they often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with.

Others focus on the advantages of globalization. They accept thawt Western culture is spreading, but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies. Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong. Many argue that there are advantages to these corss—cultural exchanges and thattheyleads to better understandings between cultures. They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these. Chinese New Year, now celebrated in most big cities around the world, is just one of the many festivals that are accepted internationally.

   Anyway, many organizations and governments are making efforts(努力)to protect their cultures. One successful example is Wales. There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language, it is now an active part of Welsh life again. Around the world, similar efforts are going on.

On the night of January 14, Tongliang Chinese Dragon Dance & Lantern Art Festival started at Tongliang Qicai Dream Garden. Every year, as a part of traditional Chinese culture, the dragon dance is used to pray for peace and good luck for the new year. Tongliang Dragon Dance appeared in the Ming Dynasty and became extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty.

Among all the dragon dances in Tongliang, Fire Dragon Dance is the best-known.

According to local beliefs, the Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance has the power of driving away disasters, and offering wishes for the local community.

The iron is heated to 1,600℃ in eight ovens which are placed in a circle. Sixteen shirtless men spray( 喷洒) the liquid( 液体) iron into the air, creating flower-like flames( 火焰). Fireworks hidden in the bodies of two gold dragons are lighted. Then you can see fireworks fly from the bodies of two golden dragons held by 20 shirtless men as the dragons fly up and down and back and forth through seas of fire. Along with the iron fireworks and music, the two fire dragons dance around to offer New Year wishes.

The Fire Dragon Dance in Tongliang was listed in the national intangible cultural heritages in 2006 and one of the city's cultural symbols. It is known as China's No.1 Dragon Dance.

Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance has shone both at home and abroad.

Nowadays, both dragon-making and dragon dances have changed in recent years. They have created income for local people. There are 35 dance teams, 10 dragon-making teams and tourism, which make about 1 billion yuan ($154.6 million) a year.

And this ancient tradition, Tongliang Fire Dragon Dance, seems set to continue to fly into the future!

A lost Buddha(佛像) head statue, which recently made the journey back to China, appeared during the Spring Festival Party of China Central Television. It was its first public show after being successfully sent back from Japan on the second Saturday of December, 2020.

The head, dating back to the Sui Dynasty (581-618), was originally placed on the northern wall in the No.8 Tianlong Shan Grottoes on the suburbs of Taiyuan,

capital of Shanxi Province, according to a statement from the National Cultural Heritage Administration (国家文物局).

It was believed to be stolen and lost overseas around 1924, along with about 240 Buddha imagesthatwere robbed in the 1920s.This 44.5-cm-high Buddha head is the first among these stolen items to be returned from Japan.

The National Cultural Heritage Administration learned in September a Chinese Buddha head statue labeled as from Tang Dynasty (618-90I) was about to be sold in Tokyo, and was thought to be a stolen piece from Tianlong Shan.

The administration soon began the process of returning it home. In October, the auction house in Tokyo, whose board chairman Zhang Kong Is a Chinese from Fangzhou, agreed to stop the auction.

After discussions between the National Cultural Heritage Administration, Zhang, and the local holder of the relic in Japan, the Buddha head was bought by Zhang and finally gave away to the administration.

The transfer ceremony(交接仪式) for the statue was held in the Chinese Embassy(大使馆) in Tokyo in November, and it arrived in Beijing in December.

After being shown on the Spring Festival Party, the Buddha head statue will be displayed in Beijing Lu Xun Museum from the first day of the first day of the Lunar New Year to March 14.
