New Year's greetings. Ren Houzhong.
After Laba, it is the New Year. In the days that followed, the ancestors loaded different contents into each day, trivial but not complicated, tired and idle, busy and leisurely, simple and orderly. With such a long festival, you won't feel its lengthiness and complexity at all, and you won't feel tired and uneasy.
The New Year is coming, whether you are a poor and penniless Qiantou or a rich prince, everyone's face is full of happy smiles, happily waiting for the arrival of the New Year. At this time, you will receive New Year's greeting text messages from new and old friends every day to congratulate you on the New Year. This is a greeting, this is etiquette, this is friendship, this is a good wish from the bottom of our hearts between people.
New Year's greetings are our traditional customs, and it is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, and express their good wishes to each other. The 5,000-year-old civilization expounds a theme, that is, respect and love for elders, and true affection and friendship for friends. From Laba to the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the early years. On the way, I met an acquaintance and congratulated him: "I will give you an early year." "Unpretentious language is the expression of sincere feelings between people. The sincere New Year greetings, like the sparse sound of firecrackers, became more and more dense as the New Year approached, reaching its peak on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. After the sixth day of the first month, it is time to pay homage to the old age. In essence, New Year's greetings are a kind of etiquette, a kind of self-cultivation, and a kind of blessing. In particular, when you meet your elders, you should sincerely and respectfully worship the New Year, whether it is in the early years or in the old years. There is a saying among the people: It is not too late to pay respects to the fifteenth year of sincerity. It can be seen that New Year's greetings must be sincere. If the heart is not sincere, it will not make people happy if they kowtow three times on the first day of the New Year, and they will make people happy.
Now that science and technology have developed and communication is convenient, people no longer have to travel several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers to pay special New Year's greetings. Send a text message, make a ** and say "Happy New Year" and send blessings. I always feel that smartphones have broken the rules for thousands of years, and I didn't go to the New Year that shouldn't be worshipped, but I didn't go to the one who should go, I was too lazy to run, and I didn't have the human touch and the taste of the New Year. Either in special circumstances, it is disrespectful and disrespectful to give your parents a ** New Year's greeting. Parents don't want a few auspicious greetings, but want to see people who are really alive. If you can't see your children, your parents won't be at peace in their hearts, and they will worry about you, feeling that this year is not perfect, and it's cold and tasteless. In essence, the New Year is not only a reunion between loved ones, but also a reunion between friends. In the past year, I was tired of finance, love, children, and future, and I was busy with my own things, and I couldn't see each other a few times or say a few words when I was very close to each other. In the New Year, put aside all the work in your hands, abandon the troubles in your heart, calm down your body and mood, get together, talk about your heart, talk about the gains and losses of the past year, pour bitter water, encourage and comfort each other, that is a kind of warmth, a kind of affection, a kind of thoughtfulness, a kind of care, a kind of communication. Calling a ** and sending a text message to greet the New Year cannot bring people closer to each other, nor can it solve the pain of "not seeing each other in life". In the past, as long as there were elders among the relatives, they were not afraid of the mountains and roads, and the weather was cold, and they carried a little gift to pay New Year's greetings. Although the things I took cannot be compared with the present, it is a piece of sincerity, a piece of warmth, and a respect for the elders. Men, women, and children gathered around relatives, around the firebox, and sprayed blindly from all over the world, enjoying themselves. There are no sumptuous delicacies, and there are no polite greetings with false affection, a meal and a porridge are enough to comfort people's feelings and bring them closer. What New Year's greetings want is such a harmony, such a feeling, and such an atmosphere, lively, talking, laughing, and having fun. Relatives, often move around to be close. If you don't move around, you won't kiss. Friends are the same, it is the true love that comes out after a long time of boiling and beating. If you don't move around and don't keep in touch with each other, you're a stranger.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, I got up early, put on new clothes, and respectfully served the first bowl of dumplings to my parents, I stood solemnly with my hands down and shouted to the middle hall: "Dad, kowtow to you." "This is the most solemn gift that the younger generation performs to the elders. The father grinned and said, "Don't knock! Don't knock! Although his father was so humble, he was actually happy that his children would kowtow to him for the New Year. The old man was busy for a year, and he was overjoyed to see the children grow tall, filial and sensible. Who are they doing all their lives for, and haven't they given all their hearts and souls to these children for free? In normal times, no matter how big the difficulties are, they carry them, and no matter how heavy the work, they carry them. They don't ask the children how much they can help the family, how much money you get back to the family, and how much you contribute. What they are looking forward to is the filial piety and respect of the children. It doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, you are safe and healthy. Children and grandchildren around their knees is their greatest joy. At this time, they felt that they were not raising children in vain, and it also made them see the hope of life and the success of life. Now, the times have advanced, and it's okay to bow to the elderly. In this way, filial piety has been passed down from generation to generation for 5,000 years. Texting, calling, and not meeting, you will lose the inheritance of words and deeds. My parents were happy, grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into my pocket, which was my parents' reward, love and encouragement to my grandchildren. There must be a sacred ritual to greet the elderly during the New Year. Without this solemn ceremony, the New Year will be sloppy and loose, and the New Year will change its taste. Xunzi said: "If there is a difference between relatives and relatives, it will be implemented without disobedience; If the young and the young are orderly, the career will be successful and resting. "The Spring Festival is a festival of peace and inheritance. Otherwise, money will be like a flood of beasts that will break down the moral embankment that our ancestors have built for a long time. That would be a disaster for us and for our children and grandchildren.
New Year's greetings should not only be orderly, but also have a letter from friends. "I wish you all the best in the new year. "When I saw a New Year's message from a friend, I immediately reciprocated with sincere blessings. It's called coming and going. It is not etiquette to ignore a friend's blessing. There is a way to come and not to be rude. Some friends will add a sentence after the New Year's text message: I have time in two days, I will make an appointment with you. Get together for a meal and deepen the relationship. This means that SMS New Year's greetings can not meet the traditional New Year's greeting requirements, and only when we get together to say hello to each other and wish each other happiness can we be regarded as real New Year's greetings. The world is mutual, and no one can exist in isolation. Friends get together to greet each other, which is the burning of love, the collision of hearts, and the symbol of learning from each other. Open their hearts to each other, speak freely, encourage each other, and are full of hope for the future. Even if there was a misunderstanding in the past, at this time it will turn into a friendship, because the hearts of each other are sincere, and with a sincere New Year's greeting, all problems will be ......solved
When the New Year comes, I sincerely greet all the hard-working parents in the world, and also pay New Year's greetings to the new friends and old friends who have sincerely helped me, pass on our filial piety, inherit our virtues, and look forward to our future, and the Year of the Rat will naturally be happy.
