Question 2: Other Meanings of Carnival Carnival is an important term in literary theory and cultural studies, mainly derived from Bakhtin's theory of the poetics of carnivalization. Bakhtin put forward the theory of carnivalization poetics in his study of Dostoevsky and the works of Rabelais, Cervantes and other Renaissance writers, represented by his doctoral dissertation "Rabelais's Composition and Folk Culture in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance". "Carnival" in this context means "subversion" and "fusion". Carnival is mainly aimed at the mental state of the group, and in folklore the boundaries between the audience and the actors are blurred, and the status of the individual is elevated to the level of the group carnival. In folklore, the boundaries between audience and actors are blurred, and the sublimation of individual status creates a situation of group revelry. As pointed out in the theory of polyphony derived from the poetics of revelry, the characters lose the color of protagonists, and each individual becomes an independent and distinctive subject, whose behavior is not governed by the group, or even by the author's own thoughts, and who displays his or her own personality independently. In this kind of independent display of individuality, the group presents a polyphonic effect and reaches a situation of group revelry. The subversion of hierarchy is an important phenomenon in folk culture, and Bakhtin found in his study of carnival that "Carnival became the symbol and embodiment of a true festival of the national square, completely independent of church and state." In the carnival ritual, the concepts of hierarchy and authority disappeared, and "those decrees, prohibitions, and restrictions which determined the rules and order of ordinary and non-carnival life were abolished for a time in the carnival. The first thing that is abolished is the hierarchy and all the forms of fear, deference, admiration, politeness, etc., associated with it, i.e., all the phenomena resulting from the unequal social status of the people. Any distance between people ceases to exist; the mentor orgy at work is a special category of casual and intimate contact between people." Here hierarchy and social etiquette give way to individual freedom, and the indulgence of individual behavior and thought leads to a situation of group orgies, manifested in chaotic, illogical, secular, and vulgar language, epileptic forgetfulness of behavior, and free and indulgent thought. In terms of inner nature, the carnival embodies the most primitive view of human existence, "Carnival style is a great world feeling of the whole population for thousands of years. This world feeling makes people lift the silence, makes the world close to people, also makes people close to people (all involved in the free and intimate interaction), so as to y understand the essence of life where ...... "It can be seen that the carnival focuses on the group of a kind of behavior and thought, this group of ideas The group's state of mind comes from the liberation of individual thought, and after achieving the liberation of the group's thought, the individual in this group's liberation to realize the essential meaning of human being and the individual's experience of carnival under the group's carnival. From the research point of view, the carnival is the group's spiritual release state.

Question 4: What is the significance of studying the differences between Chinese and Western festivals Abstract: There are obvious differences between the festivals and their customs in China and Western countries. Chinese festivals mainly stem from the time of the year, praying for their own good luck and happiness, holiday customs to eat and drink as the theme, the reason is mainly because the Chinese pursuit of life to the pursuit of health and longevity for the purpose, and through the food and drink to realize; Western festivals mainly stem from religion and related events, remembering God, asking for his blessing, holiday customs to have fun as the theme, the reason is mainly because the Westerners to the pursuit of life to the pursuit of health and happiness, and through religion and entertainment activities to realize. The main reason for this is that the Westerners' pursuit of life is aimed at health and happiness and is realized through religious and recreational activities.

China's traditional festivals, basically formed and passed down from feudal society, inevitably marked by feudalism: hierarchical, closed, family-oriented, and all festivals are centered on the family, the family's internal activities. During festivals, young people must worship the elderly, the whole family must have a reunion dinner, and the whole family must celebrate a family festival. Even the Chinese New Year celebrations, which are held among family members, are largely between relatives. It is unimaginable for a group of strangers to have a party together. Even the outdoor rice-planting activities with many participants are just a performance, not a carnival. In addition, another distinctive feature of Chinese festivals is that they embody the Chinese culture of eating. Each festival has different special food requirements to distinguish it from other festivals. For example, eating dumplings, Lantern Festival, Zongzi, mooncakes and so on. Chinese festivals reflect the Chinese people's virtues and customs, respect for the elderly and love for the young, mutual reminiscence of family, is our nation's fine traditions, should continue to carry forward, so the country has been sticking to these Chinese festivals, good customs, good morale. Even if you like to celebrate foreign festivals, no one wants to abandon the Chinese festival.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day. All of them are like this. This is the opposite of the closed, family-oriented Chinese festival. And these, it is the embodiment of the needs of social development, the inevitable social progress, reflecting the group nature of human society, people *** with the participatory, adapted to the modern society, people are eager to communicate with each other, group participation, *** with the desire to vent their emotions. It breaks the closed form of feudalism, no hierarchical boundaries between upper and lower classes, the elderly and young people, reflecting the equality of all people, the characteristics of free self-expression. And in terms of food, there are no strict requirements, the festival is not on the different food.
Festivals are days of the year that are endowed with special socio-cultural significance and interspersed with daily life, and are the focus of people's rich and colorful life, as well as the summaries and extensions of the political, economic, cultural and religious aspects of various regions, ethnic groups and countries. Festivals and customs, on the other hand, are customs and habits that appear during festivals, which often vary according to the festival system and the deeper differences in the natural and social environments. The reason for this is mainly due to people's ideology and value orientation. Customary differences, as an important part of cultural differences, have a more direct and concrete impact on people.
