Visit relatives and friends, and treat each other with courtesy; Friends and family, gifts and friendship. In traditional Chinese culture, courtesy is a virtue, a basic norm in interpersonal communication. However, today, with the changes in society, people seem to be gradually moving away from that sincere emotion and turning to a more realistic interest orientation when facing the traditional custom of visiting relatives and friends.
During this Chinese New Year, a woman raised a lot of attention when she expressed her dissatisfaction with the gifts sent by her relatives. She lamented that all the gifts sent by her relatives were not affordable, and even questioned their value and origin. On social networking, netizens also expressed their opinions, some people think that although the gift is practical, the value is not high; There are also people who accuse the giver of having no intention and only trying to form it. This phenomenon exposes the gradual dilution of family and friendship when modern people visit relatives and friends, and replaces them with comparisons and material considerations.
This woman's remarks provoked me to think about modern human customs and customs. The traditional visit to relatives and friends is a sincere way of expressing feelings, and the value of gifts is not the only criterion for measuring family affection and friendship, but more importantly, the sincerity and heart from the heart. Perhaps, we should stop the pace of comparison, return to the original true feelings, and make the traditional visit to relatives and friends more sincere feelings.
The nostalgia is simple, and visiting relatives is a unique rural culture. In remote villages, people often pay more attention to the communication of their hearts and emotions when visiting relatives and friends. Behind the exchange of gifts is the sincere expression of family affection and friendship, and there is no need to pay attention to the measurement of material and money, only to seek affection.
In the countryside, during the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends is a moment for people to gather, and family and friendship can be conveyed and sublimated at this time. Even if the gift is simple, the sincere heart is priceless. The simplicity and kindness of rural people are reflected in the customs of family etiquette, which is exactly what our modern society lacks, and it is also worthy of our cherishing and inheritance.
However, with the development of modern society and the widening gap between urban and rural areas, the custom of visiting relatives and friends has gradually lost its original innocence and simplicity. When people are faced with the customs of kinship, they often pay more attention to the superficial form than the true feelings of the heart. Gift-giving has become a formalism, and family and friendship are tarnished by the consideration of interests and money.
In this context, people are increasingly inclined to measure emotions in terms of material things. Visiting relatives and friends is no longer a simple reunion, but has evolved into a game of comparison and showing off. The value of gifts has become an important criterion for people to look at family and friendship, and the existence of this phenomenon is undoubtedly a kind of harm and subversion of the traditional family culture.
The traditional culture of visiting relatives has clashed and collided with the actual social status quo. Traditional visits to relatives and friends focus on emotional communication and sincerity, while modern society is more inclined to the exchange of interests and money. Whether the gift is valuable or not should not be the only criterion for considering family and friendship, but should return to the original sincerity and heart.
In this process, we should reflect and summarize: the traditional culture of kinship and etiquette should not be overwhelmed by material and money. Instead, it should maintain its original authenticity, so that the emotions between people can be transmitted and sublimated. Perhaps, in the face of the pressure and changes of the real society, we should cherish the innocence and sincerity, and make visiting relatives and friends a real enjoyment and traditional inheritance.
Visiting relatives and friends is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and courtesy and exchange reflect the emotional exchange and sincere treatment in interpersonal communication. However, with the development of modern society, people have gradually moved away from the initial family friendship and turned to more realistic material interests in the customs of family and etiquette. Tradition and reality are in conflict and collision in the culture of visiting relatives, we should return to the original sincerity and heart, so that visiting relatives and friends becomes a real emotional transmission and traditional inheritance. Let us welcome the opportunity to visit relatives and friends with a more sincere heart, so that the traditional culture can be inherited and carried forward in the modern society.
