Faced with the impact of globalization, many local traditional festivals are being replaced by internationalized commercial celebrations, while other countries are actively reviving endangered cultural customs through legislation and school education. This has sparked a debate over cultural survival strategies: rather than expending resources to "freeze" traditions, is it more reasonable to let them evolve naturally or even die out, in exchange for a more open and inclusive global identity? Please elaborate on your stance and cite specific examples from countries or regions to support your reasoning.
