Recently, there are so many events or festivals around the world. While some people participate in them after understanding their interpretation, others are just delighted without comprehension. I think that people are forgetful the meaning and focus on pleasure.  There are certainly some festivals which excite after understanding explanation.
For instance
Linking Words
, people celebrate Setsubun which is a festival of Japan and means division of the season. People throw soybeans for inviting good luck and driving out bad luck at home.

event’s meaning is known by everyone from children to adults because most people experienced it at the kindergarten. But some events which came to Japan recently have forgotten the meaning.  Some religious and traditional events have become things for pleasure. In Japan,
for example

Moreover

Thus

although

people enjoy festivals after understanding definition, I believe that most people enjoy without understanding it. They have to celebrate after interpreting events’ sense.
