The taste of the old yearIs it a family gathering for Chinese New Year's Eve? Is it a family shopping for New Year's goods on the street? Is it to receive the New Year's money full of expectations? ......These are the flavors of our year.
During the Spring Festival, traditional activities such as dragon and lion dances, singing operas, etc., have a tendency to disappear in some rural areas, and traditional customs such as visiting the New Year seem to be declining. There is still a certain gap between the richness of the rural New Year activities and the city, but its own unique connotation and charm are gradually fading, so how can the New Year's flavor resonate with young people?
Traditional New Year's customs need to be adhered to, but returning to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year should not become an unbearable burden for young people.
All kinds of red envelopes and all kinds of wedding banquets, full moon banquets, and first birthday banquets that may start after the second year of junior high school have the meaning of recovering all the personal debts that have been avoided in a year. The "red bomb" plus the round-trip fare may cost two or three months of wages in the New Year, and such a year may be more stressful for young people. Everyone is looking forward to the taste of the New Year, which can comfort the tired and wandering soul of this year.
The times are changing, and of course, the New Year and the flavor of the New Year will change accordingly, and many new connotations and customs will be extended. However, in the final analysis, the customs are just a vehicle for people to express their emotions. In recent years, some online New Year's customs that break the limitations of time and space have allowed more relatives and friends to gather together, which is also an expression of the flavor of the New Year.
The taste of the New Year in the eyes of young people is far more than that.
Take beautiful New Year's photos with your pets, buy those New Year's goods that young people like and older generations feel "bells and whistles", and play various New Year's "stalks" ...... on the InternetAll these make the New Year more trendy.
It's true to go home happy for the New Year, but the troubles are also real. In the contest between marriage urging and counter-marriage urging, this group of young people and their parents and relatives "fought wits and courage", which also constituted their unique "mixed tastes" about the New Year.
The smell of the year has not faded. The aging of a generation may mean that the customs that belong to them are fading, but as the times change, new festival rituals are being established. The forms are changing and enriching day by day, but the flavor of the year that has been passed down from generation to generation is still there.
Young people are using their own ways to pass on traditions, interpret traditions, reproduce traditions, and play with traditional ......Let the "new" spring enter Generation Z and enter the lives of more people.
Looking at the taste of the year over the years, it has almost been lost, and by the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be a good meal, and so-so will pass.
I still remember when I was a child in the countryside, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, every household would kill pigs and smoke bacon in advance; The parents gave a few dollars to press the New Year, and they were so happy that they could use it to buy fireworks to play.
At that time, the New Year, the most lively is on the street, especially on the street at night, people come and go, sometimes to crowd because there is a dragon, everyone chases from one street to another, the most terrible thing is that some naughty people like to put firecrackers on the road, accidentally bang, the ears are buzzing, but there are still many people playing.
Compared with now, there is really a lack of a little bit of the taste of the year.
With the development of the times, our lives are changing with each passing day, and new customs have also come into being. Nowadays, young people are no longer satisfied with the traditional flavor of the New Year, they use their own way to interpret, inherit and reproduce the tradition, so that the "new" spring can enter Generation Z and enter the lives of more people.
In the process, many young people are beginning to focus on self-expression and personalized experiences. They are no longer confined to traditional New Year's goods and customs, but pursue a more trendy and unique New Year's flavor. For example, some young people choose to take New Year** photos with their pets in a warm and fun way to record the quality time they spend with their pets. There are also young people who buy creative and personalized New Year's goods to make their New Year more unique.
At the same time, with the popularity of the Internet, many young people have begun to look for and create new customs on the Internet. They gather online to share a happy New Year with friends and family. This kind of New Year's custom that breaks the limitations of time and space is not only convenient and fast, but also brings a more diverse New Year's experience to young people.
However, for some young people, returning home for the Chinese New Year also comes with a lot of troubles. In the contest between marriage urging and counter-marriage urging, they need to fight wits and courage with their parents and relatives, which undoubtedly adds some pressure and contradictions to the New Year. But it is these real troubles and pressures that constitute the unique flavor of the New Year in the eyes of young people.
Although the times are changing, of course, the New Year and the flavor of the New Year will change accordingly, but the flavor of the New Year passed down from generation to generation is still there. With the efforts of young people, the Spring Festival is being integrated into their lives in a new form, becoming an important moment for them to express their emotions and pass on their blessings. For our society, we also need to be more open and inclusive to understand and accept these changes, so that the flavor of the New Year will shine more brilliantly in the new era.
