The term Spring Festival has become a unique cultural symbol in China, representing the annual migration of hundreds of millions of people. However, the Spring Festival is not a phenomenon that has existed since ancient times, it is formed with the development of the times and the changes of society.
The history of the Spring Festival can be traced back to the 80s of the last century. With the deepening of reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, the process of urbanization has accelerated, a large number of peasants have moved to the cities to work, and the number of urban populations has increased dramatically. At the same time, China's transportation capacity is far from meeting people's travel needs, especially railway transportation, which has become a bottleneck for people's travel.
In this context, the Spring Festival came into being. Every year around the Spring Festival, hundreds of millions of tourists gather, forming a rare population flow phenomenon in the world. During the Spring Festival travel period, railways, highways, aviation and other transportation departments will take various measures to fully protect the travel needs of passengers.
The development of the Spring Festival is also a testimony to the continuous progress of China's transportation industry. From the initial green train to high-speed trains, from traditional ticketing to Internet ticketing, from a single railway transportation to combined transportation of multiple modes of transportation such as highway and aviation, the travel mode and service mode of the Spring Festival transportation are constantly upgrading and improving.
Nowadays, the Spring Festival has become one of the important events in Chinese society. Despite the difficulties and challenges that arise during the Spring Festival, people still choose to go home for the New Year, and this tradition has been deeply ingrained in people's hearts. At the same time, with the development of society and the advancement of technology, the Spring Festival is gradually becoming more convenient and comfortable.
