As the times change, so does the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival holiday in 2024 will usher in three new changes that will make this traditional festival more modern, diversified and convenient. These changes not only reflect the progress of Chinese society, but also reflect people's expectations and needs for the way the Spring Festival is celebrated.
The first change.
In previous years, the holiday began on Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year there is no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve. However, it has been made clear that all units are encouraged to "arrange for employees to rest on Chinese New Year's Eve." The implication is that "the initiative to take a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve has been handed over to the bosses of various units, how humane this is." "On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is going to be reunited with their families, and the boss also misses his family, how many businesses do you have to talk about on Chinese New Year's Eve?"How many other things are to be sent on Chinese New Year's Eve?Besides, if you want to talk, others can't talk about going home, you want to send express delivery, most courier companies don't receive the goods a few days in advance, and you can't prepare in advanceThere are really some very important things, you can't leave people, just arrange a person on duty. Wasn't there someone on duty in previous years?It doesn't make a difference.
The second new change.
The Spring Festival holiday has been extended from 7 days to 9 days. It is an innovation that adapts to the rhythm of modern life. In the fast-paced work life, it is often difficult to find enough time to reunite with family and enjoy a full vacation. This "8 + 1" arrangement not only gives everyone more time to reunite with their families, but also provides an opportunity for people with conditions to "reunite first, then travel", combining tradition and leisure, which not only satisfies the desire for family affection, but also allows people to better enjoy the holiday, and can also promote the development of tourism, stimulate the consumer market, and stimulate domestic demand.
And more and more citizens will choose to leave the city during the Spring Festival and go to the countryside to experience a different flavor of the New Year. You can feel the traces of time in the traditional red brick and green tile old house, and you can also participate in the lively temple fair and taste the authentic farmhouse Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. This way of getting close to nature and returning to nostalgia makes people feel as if they have traveled back in time, which has a unique flavor.
The third change.
The Spring Festival is a United Nations holiday!This year's Spring Festival has been designated as a United Nations holiday, which is an important symbol of China's comprehensive national strength. Netizens believe that this change has made the Spring Festival a cultural bond of friendly exchanges between people from all over the world, which is conducive to promoting cultural exchanges and understanding. The Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, and now it has gone to the world, many countries and regions have taken the Spring Festival as a legal holiday, and about one-fifth of the world's people will celebrate the Spring Festival in different forms!The United Nations has designated the Spring Festival as a holiday, which is a high recognition of the significance and value of the Spring Festival, as well as a respect for and respect for Chinese culture.
We can see more and more foreign friends coming to China to experience Chinese traditional culture and food. At the same time, Chinese tourists are increasingly traveling to different parts of the world to learn about and experience the cultures of different countries and nationalities. This trend of cultural exchange shows that people have begun to pay more attention to cross-cultural communication and diversified development, which has also injected new impetus into world peace and development.
In short, these three changes make the Spring Festival in 2024 even more special, whether it is the increase in the number of holiday days or the encouragement of the Chinese New Year's Eve rest, which makes people feel a strong festive atmosphere.
