This table for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner carries the emotions of the New Year that our ancestors will never give up. Quietly, we found that the development of the times has made the tradition of the New Year also keep pace with the times. Have you noticed that the time and way you visit your family and friends have changed dramatically during the Chinese New Year?

In the past, the Spring Festival was a long process, and it was only before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the New Year was truly over. Nowadays, with the development of the times, most of the relatives have left before the fifth day of the junior high school, the first day of the first year of the junior high school is the day of visiting relatives and friends, the second day of the junior high school may be to go to the father-in-law's house for a drink, the third year of the junior high school is a string of relatives and other close relatives, and the young people who work outside often start to embark on the return journey in the third year of junior high school. The development of transportation has shortened the distance between relatives, but it also seems to have alienated the originally deep family ties. Loved ones, who can only see each other once or twice a year, are now distant and detached, and everything rushes by in a fast-paced life.

In the past, families who owned a car seemed to have a lot of face, but now every family has a car, but the family affection seems to have become weaker. Seeing each other once a year is rare, and people may just rush to complete the task of connecting all their relatives in one day. Even for relatives who are a little farther away, it is now fashionable to use the Internet to pay New Year's greetings and deliver "gifts" through courier companies, which makes people sigh at the changes of the times.

Some people say that a place where parents are there is a home is called home, and a place where there is a home is called the New Year. Everyone is busy for a year, most of the wanderers arrive home on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and they begin to go out on the third or fourth day of the new year, just three or four days, just to accompany their parents to celebrate the New Year. This is the traditional Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is also something that will not be subverted no matter how much the times progress. What a nostalgic thing is that the father took his children to paste Spring Festival couplets for the New Year.

Those who can't go home for the New Year are either because they are too busy with work, or because they have no parents at home, and then a very small number of "unfilial children" do not go home for the New Year. After the reunion dinner and the New Year, the Spring Festival is gradually moving away, and the children who have left their hometowns will start another year of travel. Where there is a home, there may not be a job, and where there is a job, there may not be a home. This dilemma seems inevitable. I have to go home for the New Year, which is not only to accompany my parents, but also to take away my parents' concern for their children, and at the same time to take away a piece of nostalgia that I can't let go.

On the occasion of the fifth day of the first month of the Year of the Dragon, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, good health for your family, filial piety and good fortune, and all the best! Looking forward to meeting again in the Spring Festival of the new year. Friends, have you also experienced the changes in the traditional customs of the Chinese New Year? Feel free to share your views and experiences in the comments section. Once again, I wish you all a prosperous new year of the dragon, peace and security, happiness and health.
