Aidong Camp NewsMr. Lu Xun said: "After all, the end of the old calendar is most like the end of the year." Today, after Mr. Lu Xun's words, you can add a sentence: After all, the New Year in the countryside is the most like the New Year. Because the most authentic New Year's flavor, the richest atmosphere, and the most lively scene are all in the New Year's goods collection, folk culture, and customs in the countryside.
Recently, the 2024 Spring Festival Shandong Rural Cultural Tourism Festival was launched simultaneously in 16 cities, with the theme of "Every family hangs red lights, every household sticks Spring Festival couplets, and every village has a good show - return to the village for the New Year". Shandong people from all over the world "return to the village for the New Year", and sincerely invite friends from all over the country and even the world to come to Shandong to check in for rural tourism and feel the charm of Qi Feng and Lu Yun and the hospitality of Shandong.
The "2024 Spring Festival Shandong Rural Cultural Tourism Festival" is a real "cultural tourism festival", starting from Laba in the Year of the Rabbit and continuing to accompany citizens and tourists to the second day of February in the Year of the Dragon. "Laba is every four or nine, everything is porridge." This year, Laba also happened to catch up with the first day of April and September, and the cultural and tourism units of various cities in Shandong Province were very thoughtful, and came up with a complete and detailed New Year's strategy for citizens and tourists in Shandong countryside - visiting the Yellow River Grand Gathering, watching the "People's Village Evening", watching special activities, enjoying public culture, and visiting rural routes ......In a word, everything you can think of about the Chinese New Year is here!
So what are our activities in Dongying? During the Rural Cultural Tourism Festival, Dongying City will carry out the "2024 Benefiting Dongying Consumption Year" warm winter consumption season activities, organize and carry out folk cultural activities such as the taste of the New Year in Laba, the small year to catch up with the big gathering, the Chinese New Year's Eve farewell to the old year, the fifteenth Lantern Festival, and the second dragon raising its head in February, implement free opening of public cultural venues during the Spring Festival, widely carry out cultural activities to benefit the people, create special products such as rural festival customs tours, intangible cultural heritage experience tours, New Year pastoral tours, and homestay reunion tours, release boutique tourism routes, and launch preferential policies. Attract tourists from all over the world to Dongying for the New Year.
In fact, in the not so distant past, the Spring Festival was still a long and fulfilling festival - from Laba to the dragon's head, its whole process lasted more than a month; From sweeping the dust, saying goodbye, small year, to worshipping ancestors, keeping the New Year, and paying New Year's greetings, all kinds of exquisite New Year's ceremonies are one after another. However, the times are developing and changing rapidly, and urban life is becoming more and more concentrated, making us farther and farther away from the "Chinese New Year" in our memory. The New Year's red, lion dance, and temple fairs that have brought endless joy to generations of childhood are rarely experienced by modern children. There are many reasons for this, such as the development of modernization, the process of urbanization, the change of consumption concepts, the popularization of electronic products, etc., all of which make the taste of the New Year weaker and weaker.
Confucius once said, "If you lose courtesy, you will seek the wilderness." "Today, we can say: the taste of the year is light and the countryside is found. The Chinese New Year in the big city may no longer be a taste of memory, after all, we have shifted from the agricultural era to the modern urban civilization, but not far from the city, you can still experience the joy and joy of the steaming New Year! This is our nostalgia, but also our roots, our attachment.
"Poetry and Distance" is not far away, it may be in the surrounding villages and towns; "Homesickness" is not just nostalgia and longing in dreams, it can be a lively and rising fireworks. The new era, the new countryside and the new atmosphere will make the most New Year's rural markets active, enrich the most popular mass culture, and make the most dynamic rural tourism lively. The noisy gongs and drums and cheerful suona are not only the joy of the New Year, but also the power of forging ahead and the triumph of the times, and the steady happiness of the people!
