The spring breeze is on the south bank of the Green River, and the bell of the Spring Festival is about to ring. In this season of family reunion, our Xi seems to stand at a crossroads. The bells of the new year are joyful and contemplative.
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers, which was originally a symbol of happiness, has become a problem today. is like Uncle Wang's emotion when he looked at the bright night sky: "The old couple liked to set off firecrackers the most when they were young, and they were reluctant to ban it."
However, the banner of environmental protection has been lifted, and light pollution and air pollution have become scars that cannot be ignored. Firecrackers were once the soul of the Spring Festival, with good wishes for exorcism and blessings.
But now, it is like a double-edged sword, and at the same time, it is joyful and cuts the wound of the environment. Director Li's analogy speaks volumes: "While it brings joy to the people, it also brings harm to the environment." "Although electronic firecrackers are just emerging, they are expensive, and they are prohibitive for rural and suburban residents.
The voices of the villagers are also sad: "We understand the country's kindness, but the blow to our people is still very great." "Times are changing, values are changing. In the past, the enthusiasm for writing Spring Festival couplets and hanging window flowers is now almost diluted by the fast-paced life.
In Aunt Li's sigh, she revealed her helplessness to tradition and powerlessness to reality: "Children only know how to play with mobile phones, and they are interested in writing Spring Festival couplets? "The crystallization of the wisdom of craftsmen and the aesthetic feelings of the Chinese nation have gradually been marginalized in this era.
The pace of urbanization has not stopped, and family reunion has become a luxury. The old man is empty-nesting, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is deserted, and the atmosphere of keeping the year has become thin. Busyness has become the norm, and the warmth of home has withered.
Traditional Xi have disappeared in the city and crumbling in the countryside. What do we do in the face of these changes? Director Li gave a suggestion: all sectors of society need to work together, and pay equal attention to innovation and tradition.
Use the power of science and technology, such as 3D stereoscopic projection and laser display, to create a festive atmosphere, and at the same time strengthen the traditional cultural education of children and cultivate interest. "Innovation doesn't mean abandoning, it's about retaining the essence.
The metaphor of citizen representative Xiao Wang is even more appropriate: "The Xi of the New Year is like the branches of a tree, the festive atmosphere is leaves, the branches are still there, and the leaves will grow again." "Protecting the branches of tradition and keeping the veins of culture alive.
The role of * is also crucial, not only in terms of investment in scientific research, but also in the promotion of cultural heritage. Integrate traditional festival culture into media, culture and education, and enhance the cultural self-confidence and sense of identity of the whole people.
Aunt Li smiled and inserted wood It is reported that on the occasion of the Spring Festival in 2024, the fate of some Xi customs being "stopped" has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. The hectic pace of life and the development of modern civilization have allowed these time-honored traditions to fade and even become precarious in some places.
In 2024, the Xi of the Spring Festival will usher in an unprecedented change - some old but deeply rooted traditions have been stopped, triggering a social discussion about tradition and modernity.
When the bell rings for the new year, the usual bustling sound of firecrackers in every household is gone, replaced by the silent night sky and the occasional sound of electronic firecrackers. This once happy symbol is now particularly heavy in the tide of environmental protection.
The old couple liked to set off firecrackers the most when they were young, and they really couldn't bear this Xi in their hearts. Uncle Wang looked at the night sky with mixed emotions. Firecrackers, a tradition that symbolizes the exorcism of evil spirits and blessings, used to be the most lively part of the Spring Festival.
However, as environmental awareness has grown, this Xi has become a contradiction in people's minds – it brings both joy and noise pollution and air pollution. "It's like a double-edged sword, bringing joy to the people and harm to the environment at the same time. ”
Director Li's metaphor vividly illustrates this mixed feeling. Although electronic firecrackers have been introduced as an environmentally friendly alternative, their high cost has made them not popular in rural and suburban areas.
The country's good intentions can be understood, but this change is still a shock to ordinary people who are Xi to the traditional way. "We understand the country's kindness, but it is still a big blow to our people. The words of the villagers reveal their helplessness and discouragement.
At the same time, other traditional Xi during the Spring Festival are also quietly changing. Today's young generation is no longer very good at writing Spring Festival couplets, and the fast-paced life makes people less and less enthusiastic about these traditional cultures.
Now children only know how to play with their mobile phones during the Spring Festival, and they are interested in writing Spring Festival couplets! Aunt Li said with emotion. The crystallization of the wisdom of craftsmen and the aesthetic feelings of the nation seem to be slowly being forgotten by modern life.
