Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in the hearts of Chinese. Every Spring Festival, no matter where they are, people will embark on the journey home and return to that home full of love and warmth. And I, who grew up in the Northeast, have a special affection for the Spring Festival.
When I was a child, as soon as I entered the wax moon, my family began to get busy. Mom will prepare all kinds of New Year's goods, and we will also put on new clothes and look forward to the arrival of the New Year. At that time, the flavor of the New Year was the sound of firecrackers in the wax moon, the couplets on the doors of every household, and the traditional New Year's paintings.
I remember one year, my mother bought a New Year's picture of a fat doll holding a big carp and a big rooster next to it. This New Year's picture has been hanging on the wall of my house until now. Whenever I see it, I think of those days when I was a child, and I think of the Spring Festival full of laughter.
Nowadays, although the pace of modernization has made life more convenient, the atmosphere of the New Year seems to have faded a lot. However, every Spring Festival, I still think of those good memories and the hometown full of New Year's flavor.
The Chinese New Year is not only a festival, but also an emotional sustenance. At this special moment, no matter where we are, I hope we can find the warmth of home and the atmosphere of the New Year. Because, where there is a home, there is a New Year's flavor.
