The secret story behind returning to his hometown to show off his "face" during the Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year Homecoming: Shown behind.
In the Internet era, due to the rapid transmission of information, people pay more attention to the importance of appearance. Especially during traditional Chinese festivals, young people who return to their hometowns pay more attention to their personal image. They want to show their achievement and nobility through the change in their appearance. But what is the secret behind it, but it is thought-provoking?
In rural society, "face" is a big factor in a family. Many young people, who are frugal on weekdays, just want to show off in front of others during the Spring Festival. They would wear designer jewelry, watches, designer clothes, and rent limousines in order to win the envy and applause of others in the village. In their opinion, behind their glorious appearance and enthusiastic payment, there is a paradox. Rich people are very low-key in what they talk and do, while some people who are struggling to make ends meet are overly chasing their fame and vanity. They all work hard and want to show their identity in the village. This made me think: why do people prefer to hide their true nature, and would rather exchange "face" for the approval and acceptance of others?
The struggle for face: from the pressure of society and the need for spirituality.
During the Spring Festival of returning home, the "battle of faces" is not an individual's personal action, but a change in social values and spiritual needs. And on online platforms, comments on this issue are also varied. Some people feel that dressing up itself is a need for their own identity, and that going out for a whole year, regardless of whether they are successful or not, will be recognized and respected by others when they return home. There are also some people who think that this is too superficial and will make their lives more tiring. More in-depth analysts believe that the "face" problem brought about by returning to their hometowns for the Spring Festival actually reflects the value orientation and psychological burden of rural people. When faced with the judgment and comparison of all parties, many people will "slap their faces" in order to save their face. Psychologically, this may be related to the human need to "be recognized", especially among people who work and live in different places, and who are desperate for the approval and acceptance of family and friends. Actions like "driving an RV and wearing a brand" have become a kind of self-deception in their eyes, or a means of survival.
However, there are also some people who make it clear that a person's confidence and sense of accomplishment do not come from the brilliance and glory of appearance, but more from the heart of peace and sincerity. A person's values cannot be swayed by external circumstances. So some people suggest that we pay more attention to our hearts and don't care too much about what others think. On this basis, some scholars have proposed to establish a good life value in rural communities, and guide people to achieve self-development and a happy life with a positive attitude.
Face slap: A small group in the countryside.
In a small rural society, the phenomenon of comparison is particularly prominent. When he returned to his hometown during the Spring Festival, he was afraid that others would see his shortcomings, so he chased "face" and "vanity" excessively. However, true family and friendship are not added to the light from the outside, nor are they diminished by simple appearances. We should treat the villagers with sincerity and peace. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we should leave these ethereal burdens behind and enjoy the time with our loved ones. The true meaning of the Spring Festival is to experience the warmth of the countryside and the true feelings of relatives.
In short, the phenomenon of returning to their hometowns during the Spring Festival to "rub their face" has aroused people's general attention and deep thought. Despite the divergence of opinions, there is a consensus among all on this issue. In the small society of the countryside, "face" and "vanity" play a big role, and they all want to gain the recognition and respect of others through their appearance. However, a person's confidence and sense of accomplishment are not determined by the "aura" of the outside world, it is ** in a calm heart, a sincere heart. Let us unload the burden in our hearts on the way back to our hometown during the Spring Festival, experience the warmth of the countryside with our hearts, and experience the true happiness from our families. This is the true meaning of the Spring Festival.
