Why is people's concept of family affection becoming weaker and weaker? Many people think that family affection has changed, but people's hearts are not ancient, in fact, the real reason is that the world has changed. In the past, the structural relations of agricultural society have been washed away by the ideological changes of the information society and the material development of the industrial society, and people have gradually lost the driving force of cooperation with each other. In the context of such a major change in the social structure, mood is becoming less and less important. Not only the elderly, but even the post-80s and post-90s can feel it deeply. Not to mention that on ordinary ordinary days, even if it is a New Year's holiday, it is difficult to reunite all relatives together. The taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, and the year is not as good as the year, and the excitement and feeling of betrayal when I was a child are slowly worn out, and even the days when I can see most of my relatives and friends present at the same time can only be at the funeral of an old man in the family.
This situation is becoming more and more common in both urban and rural areas. Many people think that the reason for this result is that people's hearts have changed, which means that the most refined world has corroded the simple people's hearts in the past, and it is the atmosphere that the whole society must look forward. On the surface, these problems seem to be correct, but at the root of the problem, we can find that in the development of society, people no longer need each other so much. The development of science and technology and the progress of the times have allowed everyone to live and survive independently without relying on anyone. So in an agrarian society, social interaction is becoming less and less important.
In the past, when the economic development was not as good as it is now, the outflow of the hometown population was not so serious, because in the past, everyone's material conditions were not too good, so the ability to resist risks was not high. Whoever marries a daughter in the village, who marries a daughter-in-law in the village, who builds a house, and whose family is in trouble, relatives, friends and neighbors all come together to help the family through ambassadors or difficulties. Even so, it is not because the people of the past were more self-sacrificing and morally noble than the people of today.
It is because in the days of material scarcity and underdeveloped information, poverty will make every family and individual have no ability to take charge of themselves, so people at that time need relatives and friends to help each other and keep warm. Throughout the year, everyone needs to be constantly socializing with each other. This is also the reason why people in ancient times attached so much importance to the Xiangdang clan. When I was a child, I was very happy to sell with the distant family during the Chinese New Year, and everyone would share happiness with each other, even if they were bullied by others, they would condense into a rope and move to the outside. The reason why this is possible is because they both have the blood of the same elder in their bodies.
To this day, my own children are not to mention distant cousins, even if they meet the children of their cousins, they are like strangers. Without basic contacts, family elders gradually lose their authority, because young people who grew up in the information society no longer eat the old ways of shrimp in an agricultural society, and the opportunities for family elders to intervene in conflicts and major accidents among family members are becoming less and less. The young people were still in awe of them, but they would never give in.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, the tide of the times is mighty, and for young people who have always advocated equality, those who will be lifted by the times sooner or later should have been buried together with the past years in a snowy and vague Chinese New Year's Eve. Although we lost the dross, we also lost the home we had when we were children.
