In recent years, the topic of the New Year often begins to ferment two or three months before the Spring Festival, with everyone discussing how to go back, what to do to eat, what gifts to prepare for the elderly and children, and commenting on whether the holiday is reasonable, and so on.
But the Spring Festival is really here, and I always feel that the atmosphere, emotion, and fun I am looking forward to are a little different, complaining that the Spring Festival Gala is not good-looking, there are no fireworks, and I am too tired to visit relatives and friends, etc.;
After the New Year, I began to reflect again, why is the taste of the New Year getting weaker and weaker? Would it be nice to improve it next year? Is the Spring Festival in decline, etc.
The question is, since there is a gap between the New Year and our own requirements, it means that there is still an atmosphere, but it has not been reached, who is supporting the Spring Festival atmosphere? Why didn't it reach? The truth may be:
The post-50s and post-60s are serious about the New YearIt is a qualified New Year's operator, organizer, and stickler.
The post-80s scribbled New Year,There are many people who don't understand, and many Spring Festival traditions and rules have been "lost off a cliff" in the post-80s generation.
The post-90s should cope with the New YearIt's the age of the old and the young, there are a lot of worries, and the people I really want to see are my parents, and the rest don't matter.
What about the post-30s, post-40s, post-00s, and post-10s? Seriously,The post-30s and post-40s generations are all ** ten years old, it is already very satisfying to be able to meet his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and there is no requirement; Post-00sis in the prime of life, and I want to go out to travel and go crazy; After 10I only ask for a mobile phone in hand, and I have it in the world; It's the school-age children who are really happyCarefree.
The atmosphere and organization of the Spring Festival, just like the "nine cows climbing", now only the post-50s and post-60s old cows have rested after working hard, and the post-80s and post-90s have been dragged aside and grinded by foreign workers, and it is strange that the atmosphere of the New Year can come up.
In other words, when the post-50s and post-60s really get old, the Spring Festival may be a mere formality, and if it doesn't last for the New Year, it may be the same as the weekend, it doesn't matter.
1. Why are the post-50s and post-60s still preparing for the Spring Festival and celebrating the New Year seriously?
If you must get to the bottom of it, you must be inseparable from the growth environment and family environment of the post-50s and post-60sThe family is really poor, the materials are really lacking, and the entertainment is really scarceEven if you put on a movie or sing a play, you can reminisce for months.
I usually can't eat meat, and it's hard to see meat, but the parents of the post-50s and post-60s still try to get it; Usually I can't wear new clothes, and a pair of pants is worn by several brothers in turns, but my parents will always pull a few feet of cloth to make clothes for everyone during the Chinese New Year; Usually busy with endless work, endless scolding, but the New Year's parents will always be kind and relaxed, and everyone remembers it clearly in their hearts.
Even though the days are difficult, with the help of many relatives and neighbors, a deep foot and a shallow foot have come, so the Spring Festival has to go to relatives. These impressions engraved into the bones make the post-50s and post-60s have a similar paranoid impression of the Spring Festival, looking forward to the New Year, looking forward to a good meal, learning and implementing various rules and requirements for the Spring Festival, sticking to them with extra care, even if they are distant relatives.
The Spring Festival held by the post-50s and post-60s generations is not reminiscing about the difficult but warm years of the past?
2. Why did the post-80s generation start to scribble the New Year?
You must know that most of the post-80s generation is an only child, most of them were raised by care, although they are around 40 years old, but seriously, in the face of these decades of life from poor to well-off, material from scarcity to abundance, the heart has not been digested, and it is confused to middle age, and the memory of the Spring Festival may only exist in the vague memory of childhood, right?
In our post-80s, do you know how many New Year's rules left by our ancestors have been dropped and lost?
For example: Why do you need to add bowls, chopsticks and plates for the New Year? Why can't you add an odd number, it must be an even number? How much do you add to each plate and chopsticks?
For example, why should we "take three steps to welcome and seven steps to send away" for the New Year? Why does "the chicken do not offer the head, and the fish do not offer the backbone"? Why don't you take a gift order?
For example: We have a lot of jokes here, the post-80s post Spring Festival couplets, and the upper and lower couplets are reversed; The main gate is upside down; Incense to the ancestors, light two incense, and so on.
Seriously, the baton of traditional culture for the Spring Festival, whether the post-80s generation wants it or not, has been handed to us, how should our generation pass it on and set a good example?
3. Why do the post-90s generation cope with the Chinese New Year?
The post-90s generation is in the stage of rapid social development and great improvement in material life, and there are also "foreign festivals", "foreigners", and "foreign languages", and they are not too keen on the New Year.
The post-90s generation still has their own opinions on the New YearFor example:
1. Do not walk around with relatives with general relationships to pay New Year's greetings, and no longer maintain superficial relationships.
2. Don't eat big fish and meat for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, don't necessarily eat at home, and don't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala after eating.
3. Preparing New Year's goods at home is as simple as it is, there is no need to stock up on a lot of them, and there is no need to buy a bunch of new clothes.
4. Even if you go to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings, it is best to put down the gifts, leave with a few greetings, and say something on WeChat**.
The flavor is getting stronger in 2024
5. I am extremely disgusted with the seven aunts and eight aunts "checking the household registration" type of various inquiries about feelings, careers, life, children, etc. during the reunion.
Therefore, the main force of the New Year is getting older and decreasing. The Spring Festival passes every year, and I feel that the atmosphere is not as good as a year, but as a traditional and important culture, it is still necessary to adhere to and inherit and carry forward.
How to keep the roots of our Spring Festival? What do you think of you who are preparing for the New Year?
