答案
In some ways they are, but I think that in more ways they are not. Hong Kong is a very modem place. People are mainly concerned with business and making money. On the other hand, it is possible to find people who are very traditional in their lifestyles and ways of thinking. These are not only old people— some are my age. If you take China as a whole, I think that higher proportion of people are traditional, but most are not.
Chinese women traditionally wear a qi pao. Actually cheongsam, only younger women Qipao tend to wear them at traditional events, since the cut of the dress is not really for older ladies. Men don’t wear traditional Chinese clothes, but they do usually dress smartly in suits. As for food, most Chinese people—including those from Hong Kong—eat certain kinds of food during traditional events. For example, almost all people eat moon cakes at some point during the Moon Festival in autumn.
I think that the big difference is that people take the traditional events much more seriously, whereas they tend to treat modem events as a time to have fun. It might sound a little strange, but during traditional events, there is a long list of things that people should do and these things should be done in certain ways. However, when celebrating more modem festivals and celebrations, people take them less seriously and don’t follow protocol as much. For example, a Chinese wedding is highly orchestrated. Everyone knows that they have to do certain things at certain times with given people.
To be honest, I don’t think any are in danger of disappearing in the foreseeable future. The simple fact is that there are 1.3 billion Chinese people and so the chances of any aspect of Chinese culture disappearing are remote. However, I do think that certain aspects of traditions are fading. For example, Chinese weddings are much the same as before, but an increasing number of brides are choosing to wear white Western-style dresses rather than traditional red Chinese ones. The tradition of wearing a special bridal gown remains, but the gown itself is changing.
I think that it’s mainly sentimental. People like to maintain links with the past. It gives them a sense of identity. At the same time, people like to try new things—new ways of doing things—so what often happens is that a traditional event, celebration or festival becomes modified in some way—as I mentioned with the example of wedding dresses. I also think that by maintaining traditions, people can show their origins even when they are in a new or foreign land. One problem of maintaining traditions is that they tend to be exclusive. People who follow a certain tradition often make a point of demonstrating how different they are to other people, which could be problematic. I think that people should work to make traditions more inclusive.
