It's incredible to celebrate the Spring Festival in China "" The colorful lights are so beautiful, and the intangible cultural heritage performances have a great atmosphere "" There is only one color in China, red, which represents good luck and celebration here "... At the beginning of the Spring Festival," Chinese New Year "has attracted a lot of attention on various social platforms, and a large number of foreign friends have come to China to celebrate the New Year and immerse themselves in the" Chinese New Year flavor ". In recent years, videos showcasing Chinese lifestyle have become popular on global social media platforms, and "China travel" has gradually evolved towards a deeper "Becoming Chinese". We see that in urban life, intangible cultural heritage workshops, health tea drinks, museum cultural and creative industries have become hot topics of discussion; On social media, trends such as Ba Duan Jin, Tai Chi, and Hanfu Tea Party have emerged. More people are recording the Chinese way of life on social media, sharing their personal experiences and feelings, making the lifestyle with Chinese wisdom "stand out", "go global" and "go global". Chinese excellent traditional culture is the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation, an important source for cultivating socialist core values, and a solid foundation for us to stand firm in the turbulence of world culture. Cultivating a lifestyle aesthetic with Chinese wisdom is not only the pursuit of individual spiritual abundance, but also an essential part of building a cultural powerhouse, and an exploration of the paradigm of a better human life in the East. At present, people's admiration for the Chinese way of life is not simply about "retro" and "following the trend", but essentially a recognition and practice of Chinese wisdom and excellent traditional Chinese culture. The wisdom contained in the excellent traditional Chinese culture is not only the words in classics, but also the philosophy of survival and life that permeates clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily life, integrating culture into life and guiding it. More and more practices have proven the enormous charm of Chinese lifestyle. In museums, more and more tourists are wearing traditional costumes to experience unique culture; Yin Yang "and" Qi Yun "have become high-frequency vocabulary in international design forums; Burning fragrant tea has become a choice for more people's slow life... In the process of enjoying "Chinese style life", people can relax their spirits, pay more attention to themselves, return to their true selves, and improve their quality of life. On the international stage, more and more people are realizing the profound wisdom contained in Chinese culture. The 2024 Report on the Development of China's Catering Industry Going Global shows that the number of Chinese catering stores overseas has grown to nearly 700000, covering more than 180 countries and regions, with a market size of nearly 3 trillion yuan. From individual businesses to chain brands, and then to tea drinks, coffee drinks, hot pot, Chinese meals, snacks, fast food and other multiple tracks, Chinese cuisine is becoming an important part of the daily lives of overseas consumers. Food, as an important carrier of cultural exchange, can break down language and cultural barriers, enhance friendship and understanding among people of different countries, and play a role in promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, promoting excellent traditional Chinese culture, and advancing the internationalization of the catering industry. In the current era of increasingly affluent material life and continuous social development, people have higher pursuits for their spiritual world, aesthetic taste, and quality of life. In this context, cultivating a lifestyle aesthetic rooted in Chinese culture and imbued with Chinese wisdom is not only a positive response to the growing needs of the people for a better life in the new era, but also a vivid manifestation of promoting the beauty of Chinese culture. Using cultural dissemination as a link, let Chinese aesthetic ideas step out of the classics and halls; Using life transformation as a carrier, integrating excellent traditional Chinese culture into clothing, food, housing, and transportation; Based on aesthetic cultivation, let the unique social customs, humanistic feelings, and life wisdom of various regions in China truly enter the daily lives of a wide range of groups, become perceptible, practical, and inheritable ways of life, and showcase the real, three-dimensional, and comprehensive China to the world.
