According to Taiwan's China Times News Network, as the Spring Festival holiday approaches, many Taiwanese people have begun to prepare to return to their hometowns in the south. A netizen asked curiously, although many people have said that the "New Year's flavor" has become weaker and weaker in recent years, what is the "New Year's flavor" in everyone's memory? As soon as the post came out, it sparked heated discussions, and the most people mentioned it was the prevalence of small families, declining birthrates and other multiple factors, which led to the whole family gathering around the fireplace no longer pictured.
A Taiwanese netizen posted on the forum that in recent years, many people feel that the "New Year's flavor" has become weaker and weaker, but everyone's feelings are different, and the "New Year's flavor" in memory will naturally not be the same. The netizen pointed out that for the post-80s, it may be the smell of firecrackers, it may be the smell of New Year goods from candy and dry goods, it may be the smell of buying new clothes and shoes, it may be the taste of grandma cooking cabbage head kueh, or the smell of grilled squid on the stove during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, "The 'New Year's taste' is light, so what is the taste?" ”
In this regard, many people have responded, "In the past, it was the Chinese New Year that you could eat big fish and meat, buy toys and new clothes, but now these are all daily life", "Now there is probably a little bit of New Year's flavor left to visit the New Year's Street before the New Year", "There are fewer playmates and festive atmosphere".
Among them, the most people believe that the "New Year's flavor" is fading because of multiple factors such as the prevalence of small families and the low birthrate, "the reunion dinner will not exceed 10 people at all" "It is the feeling of reunion in the past, and even the same village will come out to chat in the square" "Maybe the small family society, the reunion is becoming less and less lively" "The concept of family is weak, there used to be more than five families around the hearth, and now the small family of three is in charge". （
