In the old society, the living standards of large families far exceeded those of ordinary people. Their mansions are magnificent, and their residences are actually "carved beams and paintings", and every detail reflects their social status and economic power. The beds of large families are exquisite, not simple beds, but carefully carved headboards and bedposts. The decorations are so artistic that people can sleep in them as if they were in a temple of art. Large families value dress, women's hairstyles are exquisite, and fashionable styles are still outdated. The old men traveled in a sedan chair, which was a means of transportation designed for the aristocracy. Whether it is a family member or a long-term worker, the way they carry the sedan chair is solemn and orderly, showing the family style and status of a large family.
In the life of large families, food is also particular. ** In the dining scene of a large family, the lord sits in the middle, like a king who dominates one side. At that time, it was customary for women not to sit at the table, but this family was open-minded and participated in the sharing of food. Although the kitchens of large families did not have modern appliances and did not have running water, they were very good at the time. The old mothers, maids and housekeepers of large families, who are responsible for taking care of the daily household chores, have been living in large families, and have even worked in this family for several generations, and there is no problem of changing jobs. This stable employment relationship also highlights the economic strength and prestige status of large households.
Unlike landlords and capitalists, large families not only have wealth and status, but also pay attention to their own cultural cultivation. Many large families are scholarly families who have passed down noble cultural traditions from generation to generation. They have a rich collection of books, and one of the stores in ** shows one of these forms. The decoration of the store is exquisite and elegant, highlighting the pursuit of art and beauty by large families. This pursuit is not only reflected in the exterior decoration, but also in the spiritual level. They are passionate about performing musical instruments at home, not only expressing their love for the arts, but also showing their cultivation and talent.
Young people from large families are more advanced in terms of education and acceptance of new things. Although it was 1941, they had already begun to be exposed to new ideas and knowledge. In **, we can see a group of young people discussing and learning together, with their minds in mind for the future and the pursuit of progress. These young people have the opportunity to receive a broader education and learn about new things in society, which gives them a more open-minded mind and a broader perspective.
These ** record the demeanor of the big families in the old society and are the witnesses of history. However, more than 80 years have passed, and the existence of large families is a thing of the past. Social changes have made the lifestyle of these large families no longer adapt to the development and needs of modern society. Most of the homes of large families have disappeared or been rebuilt, and the cultural traditions that people remember are gradually fading. At the same time, social changes have also reduced the gap between the rich and the poor, and the privileged position of large households has gradually weakened.
However, the spirit and pursuit of the big family have not completely disappeared. In today's society, we can still see that some families have rich cultural heritage and profound cultivation. These families combine their traditions with modern society, carrying forward the glory and values of the family. Although the external form has changed, the pursuit of art, aesthetics and culture has never stopped.
The big families were a group of people with rich status and cultural cultivation in the old society. Their standard of living far exceeds that of ordinary families, with magnificent residences, exquisite beds, exquisite food, and profound cultural cultivation. Large families not only surpass ordinary families in terms of material and status, but more importantly, their cultural heritage and spiritual pursuits. Although more than 80 years have passed and the lifestyle of large families no longer exists, their traditions and pursuits are still continuing in society, influencing the values and lifestyles of contemporary people. We can feel the spiritual power of large families from these **, and at the same time reflect on the importance of contemporary society for cultural inheritance and values.
