Well, there are differences between national celebrations in the past and national celebrations in the present. Take the Moon Festival, for example. In the past, people used to celebrate the Moon Festival by admiring the moon and eating mooncakes. However, nowadays, people celebrate the Moon Festival by having a barbecue party. I think having a barbecue party is a good idea. One cake is kind of unhealthy because it contains too much sugar. On the other hand, barbecue contains more protein, so I think it's far healthier than eating cake. So, I think having a barbecue party is quite preferable to me.
