Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon has basically come to an end. I feel that this Spring Festival seems to be less and less of the strong flavor of the past, and here are a few phenomena that I have observed, which fully reveal this change: First, the sound of firecrackers is no longer as lively as it used to be. During the Chinese New Year, the usual sound of firecrackers was an essential element, but now it seems sparse and lonely, as if people's enthusiasm has waned. Secondly, the custom of visiting the door for the New Year has gradually drifted away. In the past, friends and family would greet each other and gather together to share the joy and blessings of the New Year. However, now, such New Year's greetings are becoming less and less common, and people seem to be more inclined to convey blessings through modern communication methods such as ** or WeChat. Finally, shopping malls and supermarkets during the Spring Festival are no longer as crowded and busy as they used to be. I remember when I was a child, there were always crowds of people during the Spring Festival, and people rushed to buy New Year's goods and gifts, but now it seems to be much more deserted, and people's shopping enthusiasm seems to be weakening year by year. Overall, while the Spring Festival is still an important traditional festival, its atmosphere and customs seem to be quietly changing. Perhaps this is due to the development of modern society and changes in lifestyle, or perhaps because our enthusiasm for this festival is fading. In any case, we should cherish this traditional festival and strive to inherit and carry forward its cultural connotation and spiritual value. 
The Spring Festival Gala, from the beginning of its birth, has become an indispensable entertainment feast in the grand festival of the Spring Festival. It's not just a TV show, it's a feast for the whole family. At this warm moment, the family sat around the large round table, tasting the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with laughter and laughter, and sharing the joy of family. The Spring Festival Gala is like a flowing picture, bringing joy and warmth to every family with its charm. Its existence makes the Chinese New Year more meaningful and makes the reunion of family members more precious.
In the past few years, the Spring Festival Gala program has been like ** in advance**, although the new actors have worked hard to perform, but they have lost that unique taste. The invasion of advertising is even more unbearable, and people lose the desire to continue. The Spring Festival Gala, a feast that countless people once looked forward to, has now become boring and boring.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the highlight of the Spring Festival, now seems to have become a little impossible to choose under the conditions of abundant life. On a normal day, we enjoy all kinds of delicious food at your disposal. However, at the end of the year, it seems that I am a little confused, and I don't know what kind of delicacies to use to welcome the arrival of the new year. Perhaps, this is the charm of life, even in the moment of abundance, we still have that special expectation and emotion for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Let's choose with our hearts, cook with love, and present a beautiful Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the new year.
On the other hand, this rare long holiday should have been a time for physical and mental relaxation and leisure, but when the preparation of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was in front of me, it seemed to lose the motivation to try, and just wanted to lie down lazily and let the body and mind be completely relaxed in the soft bed. This undoubtedly reveals the huge pressure of life and work endured by the main force of modern society from another perspective. They are like grit that has been polished under heavy pressure, and even in a short rest, it is difficult to get rid of the heavy burden of life.
In the past few years of the epidemic, the entire economic environment has been walking on thin ice, and it has become more and more difficult to make money. People's consumption concepts have gradually returned to rationality, no longer blindly pursuing luxury and excessive consumption. During the Spring Festival, saving can be saved, which has become a common choice for many people. In this special period, we should cherish every penny, consume rationally, and get through this difficult period together.
In the past, every time I left my homeland, I always felt nostalgic, and I looked back three times at a time, and I was reluctant to give up. This year, however, people seem to be eager to get home, ending their journey early. What is the reason for this? Maybe it's because their hometown has changed too much, or maybe it's because people's homesickness is getting stronger. But no matter what the reason, we should cherish this homesickness, because it is the sustenance of our soul and the destination of our emotions.
Is it to save money or worry about traffic jams or something else?
In this era, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are gradually eroding the health of young people. During the Spring Festival, although we can still taste the hearty food of big fish and meat, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of eating and controlling their appetites. As a wise man said, "Diet is the source of health, and moderation is the foundation of happiness." ”
At the same time, we have also seen that the problem of drunk driving has received unprecedented attention. In this festive season, no one wants to let something unpleasant interrupt the good atmosphere. Therefore, many people choose to abstain from alcohol or drink less, as long as it is enough to express that heart. This is not only a manifestation of personal responsibility, but also a love for family and society.
In this Spring Festival, let us take practical actions to protect health and cherish life. Let the festival be the motto of our lives, and let health and happiness always be with us.
Visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival used to be so warm and lively, but now it has gradually lost the feeling of the past. Many young people are starting to choose"Severed affiliation"pattern, as if the connection with relatives has become thin and alienated. Just like myself, in this year's Spring Festival, I walked all my relatives in just one day, but I only felt empty and bored. That once deep emotional bond seems to be disappearing into the long river of time.
In the past, the New Year's money was only a few yuan, a dozen yuan, but it could bring us great joy. At that time, we took the New Year's money, and our hearts were full of happiness, purely to ask for good luck, to celebrate, and everyone to share joy.
Now I can't take out the red envelopes for the children, for fear that the children will be unhappy. Hundreds of hairs are indeed stressful, and the New Year has become a burden.
On busy days, we spin endlessly like spinning tops. And at this moment of the Spring Festival, the smiling faces of the children and the expectant eyes of the family have become the most beautiful scenery. We are busy and can finally stop at this moment and share this warmth and joy with our relatives. Let's use a warm hug to dispel the fatigue of the year, and feel this rare reunion time with our hearts.
With the improvement of living standards, private cars have become popular in thousands of households, and during the Spring Festival, more and more young people choose to drive their families to nearby scenic spots to enjoy a good time. This is not only a way to relax, but also a manifestation of family reunion and family fun. In the picturesque scenic area, the family can enjoy the beautiful scenery and feel the beauty of nature, and can also enhance the bond and leave good memories during the trip. This way of traveling close to nature has become a fashion and is very popular among young people.
People who work hard in other places choose to take their parents to their side during the Spring Festival to enjoy this warm festival together, as if it is a special family trip. For those young people who have not yet entered the marriage hall, choosing to celebrate the New Year on the spot can cleverly avoid those embarrassing topics of marriage urging and make this Spring Festival more relaxed.
In the old days, whenever the bell of the Spring Festival rang, the mobile phone became the focus of attention. SMS and WeChat messages poured in like snowflakes, and the ringtones and vibrations were intertwined into a New Year's symphony. Red envelopes swiped across the screen like meteors, lighting up the night sky of every group chat. Alipay's gathering activities are a beautiful moment for friends to shout at each other and help each other. Today, although the wheels of the years are rolling forward, the strong New Year's flavor and the bond of family affection are still warm and tenacious in our hearts.
This year, however, my phone has become an island of silence, with only a few bank text messages occasionally visiting, and the rest of the time falling silent.
