ew people who can explain the definition of traditional or religious festivals while many people only desire to have pleasure by having participation in festivals.
Although
I agree that people still recognize the value of festivals, they need exactly to know why festivals are being held. On the one hand, by comparing to the past, people can easily search and share knowledge about festivals online because of technological advancement.
Besides
, children have to learn about background knowledge of famous annual festivities since their childhood.

, in some schools and universities, students play a role to demonstrate the history of festivals and

For example
, most children including their parents wear traditional costumes and make-up in Halloween and learn about stories of
this
festival.

, some people participate in festivals with full of excitement and enjoyment without knowing the purpose of celebration.

, some traditional festivals vanished throughout the years because our past generations handed over little information about these festivals to future generations.
Furthermore
, people look forward to having fun in festivals

, in Myanmar, there are few people who do religion in the Thingyan festival whereas many people splash water each other for enjoyment. In conclusion,
