I have to admit that it is my first time to be so exited and crazy during a festival. Enjoying Notting Hill carnival, I deeply thought about the reason. Obviously, people joining in festivals are passive in china, whereas that in London are active.
Once comparing Bank Holiday with Lantern Festival, the nature of the phenomena will emerge as soon. Although the same scale of marches and equal number of participants exist in China, concept of participating is different. In our country, when the peak of a holiday comes, citizens do not perform by themselves but go to a central point for watching performances and plays. after that they just go home with a calm and peaceful mood as if they did not join them. By contrast, in Notting Hill, despite unnecessary plays and marches, audients also sing, dance even drug in groups and enjoy themselves. It seems that leading actors are audients, not the actors dressing exaggerated clothes in the moving trucks.
