Kathmandu. CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has urged all Nepalis to be aware of the protection of Nepali culture and festivals. <\/p>\n
Speaking at a tea reception organized on the occasion of Tihar and <\/p>\n
Chhath festivals here today, Chairman Oli said that society is not only governed by constitution and law but also by morality, honesty, social norms and trust. <\/p>\n
He said that social norms, values and beliefs play an important role in uniting the society and moving ahead peacefully. <\/p>\n
“Society is run by morality rather than constitution, law rather than jail, honesty, social arrangements and social norms,” he said. <\/p>\n
Chairman Oli said that Nepali culture is weakening and stressed that all should be aware of it. He said that important aspects of society and civilization are hidden even in the seemingly small cultural activities. <\/p>\n
He said that human beings are social creatures and have developed various policies, rules, traditions, festivals, music, dance, music and food items for building and operating the society. Stating that every festival has its own specialty, food, song and dance, he said that the Nepali society has been celebrating various occasions from the time of starting farming to harvesting crops as festivals. He said that the tradition of the Nepali society participating collectively in birth, marriage, death, happiness and sorrow and even in difficult situations has created the culture and civilization. <\/p>\n
‘These things are of extraordinary importance and we should continue to do such things. We should celebrate with joy and enthusiasm,” he said. <\/p>\n
Chairman Oli expressed concern that the musical instruments and dances of other cultures are taking the place of Nepali music and dance. He said that although music and music of other countries can be learned and used, our original art and culture should not be displaced. <\/p>\n
He said that Nepali dance has the specialty of expressing emotions through gestures, eye gestures and foot movements. <\/p>\n
‘There is a sense of humor in our dances. When you see it with your eyes, there is emotion in the movements of your feet. In our art, not only art, but also emotion is mixed,” he said. <\/p>\n
Stating that Nepal’<\/p>\n
s original musical instruments, rhythms, songs and dances are unique, Chair Oli said that attention should be paid for the preservation and transmission of such cultural heritages. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
