Wen 37 degrees warm dad
Every Chinese New Year, I will miss the scene and atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in my childhood, and I think many people may feel the same way as me: the taste of the New Year has faded. Living conditions are getting better and better, why do we feel this way? Warm dad analyzes it from a psychological point of view, understands the reasons, and let's talk about how to increase the flavor of the New Year.
1. Productivity improvement
The social networks of the Chinese are basically social networks with the family as the unit, and they pay more attentionCollective. People were initially united in family formations, mainly because of low productivity, and in order to cope with various production problems, everyone helped each other. At that time, it was not only between family membersbetween neighborhoodsThey also often help each other.
Now that the productive forces are developed, the ability of human beings to transform nature has increased, and the cities are dominated by buildings, the connection between people has become weaker. For example, during the Chinese New Year, children played together, and when they were hungry or thirsty, they went to the nearest children's house, and their parents would be warmly welcomed. Now, even if people are willing to entertain, I'm afraid that as a parent, I'm not at ease, right?
2. Material abundance
When I was a child, I had a lot of expectations for the New Year, such as: wearing new clothes, new shoes, setting off firecrackers, candy, nuts, all kinds of meat, and drinks. Each of them has a great appeal to children.
3. Gatherings of relatives and friends
In the past, the carriage and horses were very slow, and it was difficult for relatives and friends who were far away to see each other. For example, it is more than 30 kilometers from the city to my town, and it used to take one and a half to two hours by bus, but when the weather is bad and the road conditions are poor, it will take longer. With the popularity of private cars, the acceleration of high-speed rail, and the application of mobile communication technology, it is becoming easier and easier for relatives and friends to meet.
In short, in the past, people had a lot of expectations, such as: food, family and friends meeting, new shoes, etc. During the Chinese New Year, yesThe satisfaction of various expectations, the taste of the New Year is the pleasure after meeting our expectations.
Now, the living conditions are getting better and better, and the daily living conditions are at the same level as the previous New Year's diet, so naturally there are a lot less expectations.
1. Prepare for the New Year
Over the years, Nuan's father insisted on cleaning by himself: cleaning the house, cleaning the glass, cleaning the furniture, cleaning the door of the room, and preparing the New Year's goods by himself: fried tofu, croquettes, fried small hemp candy.
A few years ago, some neighbors saw me cleaning the glass and persuaded me: "Find a cleaning aunt, it doesn't cost much, and you don't have to suffer yourself." "My neighbor was right, it was, and I knew it was tiring to clean up the year before.
What I want to tell you is:You will only have it if you yourself have personally participated in the preparations for the Chinese New YearA sense of participation, a sense of integration,I look forward to the New Year. The various actions of preparing for the New Year are, in my opinion, a sense of ritual. A sense of ritual is an action that people deliberately create and abide by in order to express their inner emotions or deep identification with certain things.
tips：It is recommended that you use weekends or after-work time to prepare for the New Year.
2. Buy new clothes for yourself and your family
Buying new clothes is actually to link our hearts with the New Year through the action of "buying" and the symbol of "new clothes". It doesn't have to be a full set of new clothes and shoes, at least buy one for yourself and your family, which will also increase a lot of expectations for the New Year.
tips：You can only start wearing new clothes on the day of the Chinese New Year, which is a kind of anticipation!
3. Buy New Year's goods with your familyWhen buying New Year's goods, the important thing is not to buy, but to shop and buy. Especially some of the New Year's goods fairs opened in various places, go deep into them, look at the bustling crowd, everywhere is a symbol of happiness and beauty of red, and the flavor of the New Year will come back.
tips：To buy or not to buy, depending on the needs of your own home, the purpose is to participate in it and feel the flavor of the New Year.
4. Tell your children about New Year's customs
"Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; Twenty-four, the day of house sweeping; Twenty-five, make tofu; Twenty-six, to cut the meat; Twenty-seven, slaughtering chickens; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Stay up for 30 nights and go to the New Year on the first day of the new year. ”
Familiar? Tell your children about the origin of our Chinese New Year customs and various customs during the Chinese New Year, which is not only the inheritance of traditional culture, but also to increase the children's sense of expectation for the New Year.
This year, I bought a copy for my sonNew Year's Picture Book"Chinese New Year Pop-up Book". This is a three-dimensional picture book about the traditional culture of the New Year, the book is beautifully bound, and it briefly describes the various customs during the Chinese New Year.
Parents can read the contents of the book with their children to learn about various customs during the Chinese New Year, and they can also talk about the local Chinese New YearCustoms, cuisineWait. While telling about the customs of the New Year, the timeline of the festival also becomes clear in the children's minds.
This small shop broke 399. It is recommended that you start a book for your child:
tips：The traditional culture must be inherited, and it can no longer be robbed by others! I hope that many years later, when the children grow up, they will be able to tell their children stories and pass them on from generation to generation.
5. Write Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers
During the Chinese New Year, my family's Spring Festival couplets were written by myself. It doesn't matter if the word looks good or not, what matters is usDo it yourselfWritten Spring Festival couplets, feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
For a "veteran artilleryman" like me, who has been setting off firecrackers since he was 2 years old, the ban on fireworks and firecrackers is simply missing more than half of the New Year's flavor. Over the years, my family has been using electronic firecrackers when dumplings come out of the pot at noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, when the old and new are alternated on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I get up on the morning of the first day of the new year. Turn on the electronic firecracker, there is not only the sound of simulated firecrackers, but also the photoelectric effect.
For me, the lack of smoke after the fireworks is better than nothing.
