The Spring Festival of the 70s and 80s is considered by many to be the most festive. Let's go back to that era through these old ** and see what the Spring Festival was like at that time:
During the Chinese New Year, every household will buy some lard to boil at home. The boiled lard residue became a delicacy at the time, crispy and delicious, and it was even more delicious with sugar. Although the food during the Chinese New Year is also abundant, in the era of material scarcity, it is undoubtedly an extremely happy thing to be able to eat these snacks.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of that year, with the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival Gala kicked off. At that time, ** TV station held the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, attracting countless viewers to participate enthusiastically. At that time, the Spring Festival Gala was undoubtedly the most watched TV program in the country, and everyone was waiting in front of the TV, lest they miss any wonderful moments. That kind of happy atmosphere has long been imprinted in my heart and unforgettable.
In order to enrich the holiday life, Yangge performance teams have been organized in various places. People buy food, decorate their homes, and look forward to the arrival of the New Year. Today, that lively and festive scene is long gone, and those laughter and laughter have gradually dissipated in the long river of history.
At that time, it was common to see children looking for unsounding firecrackers in the skins of firecrackers, and those children peeled the gunpowder from the firecrackers, stacked them together and lit them to form brilliant sparks. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, and the picturesque scenery is no longer visible. The joyful moments of childhood are gone, and the happy memories of the past have become eternal symbols.
A young father brought his son to the New Year's fair. The father is helping his son repair the windmill, while the son sits on his father's shoulder and observes his father's movements.
It was a bustling bazaar, crowded with people, and people were smiling with happiness. At that time, the annual fair was so lively that it is rarely seen now.
The little one hugged the snack his parents had bought for him, which is called Crispy in different ways around the country. In the eighties, this snack was only on the stall before the Chinese New Year**, and it was not usually available. At that time, it seemed like you could buy a large roll for a few cents.
The liveliest and happiest time for the New Year is to have a reunion dinner on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the material life at that time was not as rich as it is now, but there must be a table of sumptuous dishes on the table.
In our case, the twenty-third day of the lunar month is the beginning of the new year. In my family, every New Year, basically every household will steam steamed buns. When I was a child, I steamed steamed buns at home, and there were always many relatives who came to help, and everyone chatted while steaming steamed buns, and the atmosphere was very warm. Now that the standard of living has improved, people mostly choose to buy steamed buns outside instead of steaming them at home.
In the 70s and 80s, people would hang New Year's pictures at home during the Chinese New Year, which was an important part of the New Year's activities. During the Chinese New Year, people go to the market to buy a few new New Year's pictures, and they also take down last year's old New Year's pictures. In addition, people will also change the Spring Festival couplets, and they can buy ready-made ones directly at the bazaar, or buy their own red paper for someone to write.
The traditional custom of "killing pigs for hospitality". Although the climate was cold, the enthusiasm of everyone made us forget about the bitter cold. This event has become one of the important shows in our family and is usually held on weekends.
When I woke up early, my family and I started to get busy. Some people are responsible for catching fat pigs that are about to be slaughtered, and some people are responsible for building pots and stoves, and they are very busy. After the pork is boiled in boiling water, it is cooked with the pork offal, which is our unique "pig killing dish". Friends and family came to hear the news, and everyone gathered together to enjoy the joy together.
Every year when it comes to the Spring Festival, people in many places like to put window grilles on the windows of their homes. The small window grilles set off the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. When I was young, my family would buy a few beautiful window grilles every year and stick them on the glass.
With the rapid development of science and technology, the lifestyle of modern people has undergone earth-shaking changes. Once upon a time, we didn't have modern devices such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions, and we lived so unpretentiously but fun. Nowadays, despite worrying about food and clothing, and various forms of entertainment, our happiness is not as good as before.
In **, the family sits around and wraps dumplings, and their faces are full of happy smiles. This smile, like the warm sun in early spring, is warm and bright, making people feel the warmth and beauty of home. Yes, there is nothing happier than being together as a family, wrapped in dumplings and laughing to welcome the New Year. This picture seems to be a beautiful picture, depicting the warmth and happiness of home, which makes people envious and yearning.
Closing Remarks:
Will you go home for the Chinese New Year this year?
