1. Introduction
Former UN Secretary General Annan once pointed out that globalization is an actual event which would have huge effects on the future of human race. Globalization is led by western countries, so developing countries have less effect in globalization (Lieber & Weisberg, 2002). Globalization becomes a great threat and challenge to both economy safety and sovereignty of developing countries, as well as their cultural curity (Compton, 2000). As the world’s largest developing country, China goes faster than any other developing country in the progress of globalization. Coupled with the complex environment of globalization, many social facets in China are being or have been deeply influenced by globalization. Among the influences, Chin a’s cultural development is in a much more dangerous situation. Globalization is a actually, double-edged sword, which brings people both challenges and opportunities.

2.1 Decline of traditional festivals
In the process of globalization and with the expansion of cultural communication, western culture sweeps China and of cour, this is normal. Only absorbing and integrating foreign culture element can guarantee a national culture a remarkable development. In this culture exchanging progress, people should hold on to the bottom line of national culture. However, as western festivals enter China, more and more Chine favor foreign festivals rather than their own. Some are indifferent to traditional Chine festivals and even forget them (Jie, 2003). Certainly, the hype of foreign festivals by the advertirs is one of the reasons. However, what is deeply reflected by this phenomenon is that Chine are showing a status of bigotry and inapplicability to the globalization
(Liu, 2004). It is the bigotry and inapplicability that leads to the great endangerment of traditional Chine festivals.
2.2 Insufficient cultural creative ability
一本和二本有什么区别Chine culture and technology cannot make a breakthrough during the feudalism times (Huot, 2000). In the 21th century, feudal forces no longer exist. However, Chine technology, along with the culture, is still on hold, which may be caud in part by globalization. In the process of globalization, China has introduced a great number of modern cutting-edge technologies. This would have been a good thing. However, the problem is that the dependence on foreign science and technology is too large (Huot, 2000). People only pay attention to introduction but they barely devote themlves to analyzing and digesting the esnce of the technologies. This phenomenon directly impairs the ability of lf-dependent innovation.
2.3 Insufficient cultural autonomy
The process of cultural globalization will inevitably lead to conflicts of various ethnic cultures round the world. A typical example is that the US-led western culture spreads to occupy the dominance of the global culture. It stands in a strong position, forming the so-called "cultural hegemony" (Compton, 2000). Western culture has a powerful integration
capability. It strongly radiates other developing countries on national culture. Chine people are attracted by the highly developed western culture. After reexamining lagging factors within Chine culture, phenomenon of westernization appears on the surface of Chine material culture (Guthrie, 2012). For example, dissimilation in language and character, craze for Chine brands in English names, going abroad craze and so on. This also explains that China is influenced by
western capitalist culture when it comes to the development of material culture. Facing the highly developed western capitalist material culture, Chine people are in an extremely passive state. This penetrates further into the deep layer of Chine culture. Chine people are lack of autonomy in the development process of national culture.
3. Opportunities for Chine culture brought by globalization
3.1 Government’s powerful guiding function to the developme nt of national culture

measures for the prervation and development of national culture. Through cultural legislation, cultural protection systems and policies, cultural management and other means, China had effectively resisted globalization cultural risk to Chine culture. It shows a powerful guiding function for the development of Chine culture. For instance, central and local governments at all levels actively exploit the advantages of unique culture to declare world heritages (Bergsten, 2008). From the terms of legislation, Chine government has already t the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Sweeping-Tomb Festival and other traditional festivals as national festivals. This indicates that Chine government begins to attach importance to traditional Chine culture.
