Spending on the Chinese New Year puts middle-aged people under pressure, and it will be difficult to break off their relatives within five to ten years
Introduction: The most solemn festival of the Chinese is also the unique romance of every Chinese. However, as time goes on, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival becomes tense, especially for middle-aged men and women. Therefore, this study will discuss the impact of high consumption during the Spring Festival on the middle-aged group, and analyze the possibility of marriage breakup based on this.
The pressure of the New Year: "The taste of the New Year is getting stronger, and the family affection is weak".
Every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone is looking forward to reuniting with their families, but the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and the family affection is getting weaker and weaker. The main factors contributing to this shift are the forced marriage of older singles from their families, the monotony of their hometowns and the psychology of competition among relatives. According to Guangzhou Railway's statistics, during the Chinese New Year in 2024, the number of passengers returning home early will be 20% higher than last year. This is a question that has given rise to national thought.
In the middle-aged group, financial stress is an important factor. The annual increase in New Year's expenses has made many middle-aged men a little unbearable. For example, in Hunan, expensive gifts must be prepared when visiting relatives and friends, and the specifications for receiving red envelopes have also been improved a lot. Some bloggers have concluded that in these few days alone, the cost of the New Year has reached tens of thousands. Such high expenses are difficult for many people to afford, which is why so many people return to their hometowns.
More and more people are giving gifts to each other and comparing themselves with each other, which makes the Chinese New Year, which should be a family reunion, become a gloomy and bleak scene. Many people will take out more than half a year's savings to maintain their reputation. Under this huge financial burden, many middle-aged men feel physically and mentally exhausted, and even wonder whether it is worth it to spend all their money to hold the "face" of this festival.
High consumption during the Spring Festival may face divorce.
Since the expenses during the Chinese New Year are ** every year, many middle-aged men feel a huge financial burden. In the eyes of many netizens, the meaning of the Chinese New Year is gradually fading, and more and more people are beginning to compare and feel nervous. Some candidly say that the spike in red envelopes sent out on the Chinese New Year has turned the holiday into a completely commercial activity. In particular, the gap between the city and the countryside is widening, and the kinship ties in the villages are gradually weakening, and there are fewer and fewer people in the villages, and there are fewer and fewer relatives to come and go. Such a case of severing relatives may be realized in another three or five years.
Expansion: In today's accelerated urbanization, urban and rural residents are increasingly alienated from each other, and the custom of reunion during the Chinese New Year has slowly evolved into a kind of "formalism". Originally a symbol of reunion and warmth, the New Year is now becoming more and more commercial, more practical, and more and more overwhelming. People began to consider whether it was worth it to use the financial and emotional support of their families to do a "face" project. Such conflicts have caused many people to give up their way of celebrating the New Year, and some people joked: "Don't come back next year", reflecting people's helplessness and thinking about the traditional Chinese way of reunion.
Reflection on the return of the Spring Festival to the nature of the family.
In a tense "money war", how important is the original intention of the New Year? Chinese New Year is a festival of reunion and friendship, not a center of comparison and consumption. In the context of social transformation and increasing urbanization, people are becoming less and less related to each other, making people reluctant to return to their hometowns for the holidays or to visit relatives and friends. In the next 5-10 years, such a phenomenon may indeed become a common phenomenon, and family relations will disappear from rural society and be replaced by urban communities.
Abstract:With the development of the economy and the change of social structure, the essence of the New Year has gradually been replaced by business and comparison, which has made the New Year a kind of spiritual burden and spiritual burden. Middle-aged men face more financial burdens, and family relationships are weakened by urbanization. From the perspective of the individual, it is necessary to reflect on its connotation, so that it can return to the relationship between "home" and "home", with "home" as the center, and prevent "home" from becoming "home", "home" and "home". The gap between the city and the countryside is inevitable, and we should do our best to rebuild the bonds of the family and bring the New Year back to true reunion and companionship, rather than being bound by money and competition.
