In the pastRuralThe banquet is a lively and festive occasion, and nowadaysRuralHowever, there have been some changes in the banquet. Recently, I went back to the village for a banquet and found that the village was experiencing the sweep of the five strange phenomena. Problems such as the aging of the population, the phenomenon of "cold seats", the outsourcing of banquets, the increasing number of people driving to the banquets, and the decrease in the number of people drinking at banquets are gradually changingRuralThe face of the banquet. These changes are not just happening in my village, but are widespread throughout the countryRural。Although these changes are inevitable trends closely related to the development of the times, they still make me rightRuralThere is a glimmer of concern about the future. How can we cope with these changes while preserving those beautiful traditions and cultures to enrich our rural life?
When I went back to the village for a banquet, I felt it deeplyRuralThe severity of the ageing problem. Unlike in the past, I am now in charge of most of the banquets at home, because my parents are old, and I am gradually taking on the responsibilities of the family. However, I found that many of the villagers no longer knew me, and they could not call my name, so they could only guess which family I was a child of. At the same time, I also noticed that many familiar faces were no longer there, either because they had passed away or because they had not returned for many years after working abroad. These changes made me feel the passage of time deeply, and I couldn't help but think of the laughter and happiness of my childhood, and a burst of indescribable emotion welled up in my heart.
PastRuralThe banquet is always lively, and when firecrackers are set off in the village, you can guess which one is holding the banquet, whether it is a wedding, a birthday, or moreFuneral, the villagers are always actively involved. However, nowadaysRuralThe banquet became deserted. Although people still salute, they often don't show up in person. Even if they don't attend in person, the host family will reserve a seat for them. As a result, many banquets are filled with only a few people sitting together, making them look a little deserted. This change may be the result of the accelerated pace of life and the alienation of people, but for me, this change makes me feel lost and helpless.
PastRuralMost of the banquets are made by buying their own ingredients, and then asking people from the village to help, and even a chef to help with the cooking, which is free of charge. However, the situation is different nowRuralThe banquets are basically outsourced. Some are contracted workers without materials, that is, they buy materials by themselves and then outsource them to others for processing;Some areContracted labor and materials, you don't have to worry about anything. Some people even go directly to the restaurant in the town or county town to hold a banquet, which is more advanced. In recent years,RuralThe grade of the banquet has been continuously improved, and it has more than doubled, and it is no longer a matter that can be solved for a few hundred yuan.
I found in recent yearsRuralMore and more people are buying cars, and this can be seen in the banquets. In the past, the banquet was always full of people, chatting, joking, and playing games from morning to night. And now, everyone has a car, and they basically rush to the meal point temporarily, and drive away immediately after eating. People seem to have become Xi to the fast-paced life, only arriving at the allotted time, and leaving in a hurry after eating. This change makes me feel helpless and sad. Maybe this representsRuralThe development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards have also brought some problems, such as the parking spaces at the banquet are often full, making the already narrow rural roads more congested.
Banquets are indispensable for wine, in the past,RuralThe banquet was filled with laughter and the sound of pushing glasses and changing lamps. Although most of the sake at that time was home-brewed grain sake, it was very popular. However, now at banquets, the variety of liquor is becoming more and more diverse, including:BeerLiquorwithRed wine, but fewer and fewer people are drinking.

These five major changes make me rightRuralAlthough these changes are the inevitable result of the development of the times, I still hope that we can keep those beautiful traditions and culturesRuralLife is more colorful.
Village-to-villageRuralBanquets are facing five strange phenomena, including the serious aging problem, the phenomenon of "cold banquets", the outsourcing of banquets, more and more people driving to eat banquets, and the decrease in the number of people drinking at banquets. These changes are not only happening in my village, but are common throughout the countryRural。Although this is an inevitable trend related to the development of the times, butRuralThese changes make me rightRuralThere is a glimmer of concern about the future. I hope that we can embrace the changes while preserving those beautiful traditions and cultures, so as to make our rural life more colorful.
