Naturally, the longer they stay in their new location, the more evident the ebb and flow of the old and the new cultures becomes. With the relatively weak understanding young people have of their traditional culture, patterns only continue in their external forms. The Bok Kai Festival, held in the California town of Marysville, is a clear example.
很自然的，隨著客居異地的時間愈長，新、舊文化的消長愈趨明顯，傳統文化在年輕一輩微弱的解讀能力之下，僅能以外在形式賡續，於美國加州北部的瑪利斯委市（Marysralle）所舉行的「北溪廟會」，就是個明顯的例子。
