"The red light hangs high on the branches, and the bright fire trees bloom with silver flowers", the long-awaited Spring Festival is coming in a blink of an eye, as a traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival has always been the most important festival for people, no matter where they are at this time, they must rush home to have a reunion and happy year, which also fully reflects the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.
Chinese New Year is a day of national celebration, but today's Spring Festival is very different from what it used to be. Especially during this year's Spring Festival, careful people found 5 "strange phenomena", I don't know if you have found it.
1. Meat, eggs and milk** tend to be stable.
Meat, eggs and milk is a must-have food for the New Year's holiday, and it is also an ingredient that every household must stockpile, every eve of the Spring Festival, the demand for meat, eggs and milk will skyrocket, in addition to family needs, people are also worried about the soaring of meat, eggs and milk. After all, in previous years, the price would rise.
However, on the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the ** of meat, eggs and milk is unexpectedly stable, even if it is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month today, these prices are still stable, even if the ** rise is about 1-2 yuan, which is really good for the people, and you can save a lot of money during the New Year.
Second, pre-made dishes are becoming more and more popular.
I remember when I was a child, before the Chinese New Year, the family was very busy, my mother and grandmother were making food to eat for the New Year in advance, some steamed bowl food, and some fried food needed to be prepared in advance, otherwise it would be a little too late for the New Year. Then with the development of the times, there are now more and more prefabricated dishes, and all kinds of steaming bowls and stir-fried dishes have been pre-made.
Vacuum packaging does not have to worry about being spoiled, and it can be taken out and simply heated when eating. Although it is very convenient, the prefabricated dishes also make the New Year lose its due characteristics, and in terms of taste, the prefabricated dishes are not as real as they are made, and they may all be "cruel words of science and technology".
Third, there are fewer street vendors selling Spring Festival couplets.
I remember that every few days before the Chinese New Year, the streets and alleys were full of vendors** all kinds of couplets, blessing words, and even many craftsmen wrote couplets on the spot, and the people who bought couplets were also endless. However, this year, we found that not only did not write couplets, but even ** couplets were very few.
In fact, there are many reasons for this result, the first is online shopping, many people may have bought it online early, and the second is that major banks or shopping malls will distribute couplets for free, after all, it is impossible to post a lot of couplets at home, so you don't need to buy them separately.
Fourth, souvenirs are not as popular as they used to be.
People in the city have a soft spot for local products, in previous years, every festival everyone will buy some local products, such as local chicken, eggs, black pork, etc., but today's local products are not as popular as before, the main reason I think there are 2 points, the first is that it is too expensive, and now the people are short of money in their hands, and they will pursue cost-effective when spending money, and local products are naturally not in the scope of consideration.
The second is that the quality of local products is uneven, some merchants in the name of local products, in fact, it is an ordinary thing, resulting in everyone has a certain vigilance for local products, dare not buy easily, afraid of being deceived.
Fifth, there are fewer vendors selling firecrackers.
New Year's firecrackers are thousands of years of customs, is the so-called "firecrackers in the sound of a year old, the spring breeze to send warmth into Tusu", the New Year's fireworks and firecrackers can highlight the joy of the festival, with it the flavor of the year is very strong. But after the ban on fireworks in these years, the smell of the New Year disappeared in an instant.
In previous years, although fireworks were also banned, there were not a few firecrackers on the streets. However, this year, fireworks can be set off in many areas, but there are fewer vendors. It seems that it will never be possible to return to the atmosphere of the Spring Festival when I was a child.
The above are the 5 strange phenomena shared today, I don't know what you think about it? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area**.
