The post-Chinese generation grew up in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century. This generation has experienced tremendous changes in Chinese society, from a planned economy to a market economy, from a closed society to an open society. The flavor of the year in the memory is a unique warm memory after that. The Spring Festival of that era did not have today's electronic devices, but it was full of human touch. At that time, every household would be busy preparing New Year's goods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, making dumplings, setting off firecrackers, and the strong New Year's flavor.
The post-80s generation was born in the early days of reform and opening up, and was relatively lacking in materials, but the flavor of the year was particularly strong. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will go to the market to buy New Year's goods, chicken, duck and fish, candy and snacks, new clothes, firecrackers, etc., full of New Year's goods are piled up in the kitchen and living room. At that time, at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, every family would make dumplings, and the family sat together, enjoying the happiness of reunion.
For some post-90s generations, the Internet has not yet been popularized in their childhood, and electronic products such as mobile phones and computers have not yet entered thousands of households. During the Spring Festival, children will set off firecrackers in the yard, laugh and play, and enjoy a carefree childhood. Adults will gather together to chat, play cards, play mahjong, and enjoy a rare rest. At that time, the Spring Festival, although simple, was full of human touch. The smell of the New Year in my memory may be the scene of a family getting together and preparing for the New Year. As soon as the lunar month arrived, the whole family began to get busy, preparing all kinds of New Year's goods. Grandma will fry croquettes, fried twist flowers, and make all kinds of delicious snacks, and the children will steal the meatballs that have just come out of the pot next to them. On Chinese New Year's Eve, pasting couplets, hanging lanterns, and decorating the home in a prosperous manner, the family sat around at night, eating a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and laughing constantly. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, put on new clothes, go to pay New Year's greetings, and receive red envelopes from the elders.
In some places, it may be that after Laba is the New Year, adults begin to get busy, buying New Year's goods, steaming steamed buns, steamed buns, fried meat, and children are attracted by the fragrance and drooling around the kitchen. In rural areas, people have fewer ways to entertain, and playing cards has become the "daily life" of many villagers. Children don't have many toys or electronic gadgets, and forming groups to play together has become the most important game of the Spring Festival. During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother used the stove to cook a large pot of dumplings, and several of them had coins in them, and whoever ate the dumplings with coins became more blessed.
For many 80After the 90s, one of the most important activities of the Chinese New Year is to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The family sat in front of the TV, eating melon seeds and candy, watching those familiar faces and wonderful programs, laughing and laughing. And those classic songs and sketches have also become eternal memories in their hearts.
Although the way and atmosphere of the New Year have changed a lot with the change of the times, those good memories have remained forever in 80In the hearts of the post-90s. Whenever they recall the Chinese New Year when they were children, they are always full of emotion, and that innocence and happiness have become the most precious wealth in their lives.
The memories of the post-New Year are filled with the warmth of family and the atmosphere of traditional culture. These memories are a precious treasure for them and a kind of nostalgia for the past.
