"I was busy last year, and my year-end bonus was only 7,200 yuan. The Spring Festival gave the New Year's money, and it spent all my year-end bonus. Recently, in the face of an interview with reporters, Zhao Lei said helplessly. (Rule of law on February 20**).
In the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the elders give the younger generations New Year's money, a traditional custom that carries deep love and good wishes. It is like a warm current, conveying the warmth and emotion of the family. But in general, the emphasis is on "hair", and it should not become a "burden" to be more or less casual and do what you can.
However, in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and society, the amount of New Year's money has also risen like a sesame flower. Especially in some underdeveloped rural areas, the growth rate of New Year's money is staggering, and there is even a strange phenomenon that "the year-end bonus earned in a hard year is not enough to give the younger generation New Year's money".
Although this phenomenon is an isolated case, it undoubtedly exposes that New Year's money has gradually become a big burden for many young people. They have just entered the society, their careers have just started, and their income is limited, but they have to face the reality of crazy growth in New Year's money. This not only aggravates their financial pressure and reduces their happiness during the New Year, but also changes the essence of New Year's money. The New Year's money, which originally carried good wishes, now conveys wrong values, fuels the atmosphere of money worship, and brings harm to traditional culture.
The Chinese New Year is a day of reunion, and it is a day when wanderers have to embark on the journey home no matter how far away. Fireworks, Spring Festival couplets, and New Year's money, these are all symbols of the New Year, but the core is the reunion of relatives and the happy life brought by sharing the prosperous times. However, in reality, more and more young people choose not to go home for the New Year, and the reason for this is inextricably linked to the taste of the New Year's money and the excessively high cost of the New Year.
In order for the left-behind elderly in the countryside to have a happy Spring Festival, and in order to inherit the traditional Chinese culture and customs, we should let the younger generation go home for the New Year, so that they can spend a happy and warm New Year surrounded by family affection.
The year-end bonus is not enough to pay for the New Year, which not only reveals the plight of young people during the Chinese New Year, but also may weaken their desire to go home, affecting the inheritance of traditional customs. In the new year, we should pay more attention to this issue and formulate effective measures to improve social customs and return the New Year's money to its original meaning.
First of all, we need to promote the construction of rural civilization. The alienation of New Year's money stems from people's comparison with each other and stereotypes. Village cadres should set an example by reducing the amount of their own New Year's money and become the leader of the new fashion.
Second, we need to improve the "village rules and conventions" to improve the quality and quantity of customs improvement. Village organizations should conduct in-depth research and revise the "Village Rules and Regulations" in a timely manner to help villagers realize the harm of the alienation of New Year's money, abandon outdated concepts, treat New Year's money rationally, avoid comparison, and gradually form a good atmosphere.
Although the year-end bonus is not enough to pay for the New Year's money is a seemingly mild burden, it reflects the care of the elders for the younger generations, but because it hurts the taste of the New Year, it also affects the inheritance of culture, so although this burden is gentle, we must also pay attention to and take action to reduce this burden for young people.
