守望传统：商业化浪潮下的文化自觉与创新
Guarding Tradition: Cultural Awareness and Innovation Amidst the Tide of Commercialization
传统文化承载着民族的精神内涵。
Traditional culture embodies the spiritual essence of a nation.
然而，在全球化趋势下，其保护与传承面临巨大冲击。
However, under the trend of globalization, its protection and inheritance face immense challenges.
商业化并非只有坏处，但若盲目追求利润，会让文化失去本真。
Commercialization is not without its drawbacks, but if profit is blindly pursued, culture will lose its authenticity.
如何在商业浪潮中保持独特魅力并实现创新，是关乎文化延续的关键问题。
How to maintain unique charm and achieve innovation amidst the commercial tide is a key issue concerning cultural continuity.
过度且无序的商业开发，往往对传统文化造成损害。
Excessive and disorderly commercial development often causes damage to traditional culture.
当文化符号被简单变成商品，其深层内涵就被扭曲。
When cultural symbols are simply turned into commodities, their profound connotations are distorted.
例如，一些非物质文化遗产变成了典型的、千篇一律的纪念品，失去了神圣感。
For instance, some intangible cultural heritage items have become typical, mass-produced souvenirs, losing their sense of sacredness.
这种急功近利不仅消耗生命力，更导致核心价值的改变，使文化徒有其表。
This short-sighted pursuit of quick success not only depletes vitality but also leads to a change in core values, leaving culture with only superficial appearances.
但是，我们不能因此全盘否定商业的作用。
However, we cannot, for this reason, completely negate the role of commerce.
若能坚持创新，商业化可成为文化复兴的动力。
If innovation can be sustained, commercialization can become a driving force for cultural revival.
通过融合现代设计，传统工艺能扩大市场规模；借助数字媒介，文化故事能被赋予新意。
By integrating modern design, traditional crafts can expand their market reach; through digital media, cultural stories can be given new meaning.
关键在于运作模式必须尊重文化本体，而非仅追求经济效益。
The key lies in an operating model that must respect the cultural essence, rather than merely pursuing economic benefits.
实现传统文化与商业的协调发展，需要多方努力。
Achieving coordinated development between traditional culture and commerce requires multi-faceted efforts.
政府应提供支持，引导企业负责任地参与；企业需探索可持续模式，提升产品的文化价值；公众的参与和监督也必不可少。
Governments should provide support and guide businesses to participate responsibly; businesses need to explore sustainable models and enhance the cultural value of products; public participation and oversight are also indispensable.
只有这样，传统文化才能在商业土壤中健康生长。
Only in this way can traditional culture grow healthily in commercial soil.
