Analyzing the "Chinese Elements" of Chinese Overseas from the Carnival of Cultures and Other Cultural Events

Abstract

With increased cultural diversity, cultural display activities in various countries are increasing. The issue of how overseas Chinese display Chinese elements in these events has received widespread attention, but the kinds of Chinese elements they display and the ways and means of displaying them still need to be improved. This paper analyzes the Chinese elements displayed by Chinese cultural parties in cultural events, the Chinese culture represented by these elements, the reasons why overseas Chinese participate in these events, and the problems they may encounter. This paper analyzes the fact that people participate in the events for reasons of the need for cultural exchange, cultural attachment, cultural identity, and sense of belonging. In recent years, Chinese people have displayed Chinese elements with more depth and culture. In the process of participating in cultural activities, the problems of significant cultural differences and lack of experience may occur. Based on this, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: before displaying Chinese elements, it is necessary to understand cultural differences and enhance one's cross-cultural communication skills; it is possible to set up or join a cultural society in the local area to strengthen the organization and planning; and at the same time, it is necessary to increase the interactive parts in the activities to enhance interest and participation.
