Cultural critic Nan-fang Shuo believes that the celebration of festivals can be divided into three stages. The first is the feasting and drinking of agricultural days. The next is making use of them in our personal lives. What we need to do now is move on to the third stage, which is finding new meaning in tradition and designing appropriate ways of celebrating them.
文化評論者南方朔以為，節慶可分三個階段，一是農業時代的大吃大喝，其次是拿來用在個人生活上，我們缺的是在傳統中找新意，設計出適合大眾過節方式的第三階段。
