After the first day of the Lunar New Year, how are you doing lately? Presumably, many people have a return trip after the Chinese New Year, or are busy with work and study.
Speaking of the Chinese New Year, in the past, due to various reasons, especially the restrictions of environmental protection policies, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers gradually became scarce, and the smell of the New Year gradually faded. However, recently, the streets and alleys have been filled with lively firecrackers again, and it seems that the flavor of the New Year has returned. However, this is not the case.
Although the situation has gradually stabilized and various bans have been lifted, everyone's enthusiasm for the New Year does not seem to be as high as expected. On the contrary, more and more people are choosing to travel for the holidays and welcome the Chinese New Year in a new way. This transformation can't help but make people think, what is the flavor of the New Year?
Recently, a news item caught my attention about a family of four returning to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, but choosing to spend the night in a hotel instead of at home. Behind this seemingly unusual decision, there is actually a deeper thought. The woman said that the conditions at home are limited, and the living habits are restricted to a certain extent, so she is more comfortable choosing to stay in a hotel. This sparked a chord with many and sparked more discussion.
The Chinese New Year should be a time of family reunion and strong family affection, but the reality is not satisfactory. With the improvement of living standards, people's expectations for the New Year are also quietly changing. In the past, it was full of satisfying appetites, but now, with material abundance and abundant life, the taste of the New Year seems to be becoming weaker and weaker.
The Chinese New Year is no longer a simple reunion and celebration, but more of a nostalgia for the past and a reflection on reality. Agrarian civilization gradually declined, and the vigorous development of the commercial society also turned people's lifestyles upside down. In the face of this change, should we re-examine the meaning of the Chinese New Year and redefine the flavor of the New Year?
At this special moment, whether it is to go home for a reunion or choose to travel and relax, it is to make yourself more comfortable and happy. Perhaps, the taste of the New Year does not only exist at the dinner table of reunion, but also exists in the joy and satisfaction of the soul.
No matter how you choose to spend the Chinese New Year, the most important thing is to maintain inner peace and joy, and feel the warmth and beauty of life. May all your wishes come true and all the best in the new year!
