Time flies, time flies. In the long river of history, our nation has a rich traditional culture, and those customs that once shone brightly have gradually disappeared from our sight. Today, let's take stock of the customs that have accompanied us through countless Spring Festivals and reminisce about those good times together. 1. Paste Spring Festival couplets, also known as door pairs, couplets, are essential decorations for every household during the Spring Festival. A good Spring Festival couplet can not only express people's good wishes for the new year, but also show the author's talent. However, with the change of the times, more and more people choose to buy beautifully printed finished Spring Festival couplets instead of splashing ink themselves. This custom of creating Spring Festival couplets by hand has gradually faded into our lives.
2. Viewing lanterns is a traditional activity during the Spring Festival, where people light up all kinds of lanterns at night to decorate the streets and homes like a dream. However, with the acceleration of urbanization, more and more urban residents have stopped hanging lanterns, but enjoyed those modern light shows in shopping malls, parks and other places. Traditional lanterns are gradually forgotten and replaced by more dazzling modern lights.
3. Dragon and lion danceDragon and lion dance is one of the most popular folk performances during the Spring Festival, which means auspiciousness, wishful thinking, and peace. However, with the development of science and technology, more and more people choose the Spring Festival Gala on TV and the Internet, and no longer participate in these traditional folk activities. The custom of dragon and lion dances has faded into a distant memory, and the lively scenes of lion dances from childhood are no longer to be found.
Fourth, fireworks, firecrackers and firecrackers are a traditional custom during the Spring Festival, which means to ward off evil spirits, drive away ghosts, and welcome spring. However, with the increase in environmental awareness, more and more cities are banning fireworks. This custom, which once brought joy to people, has now gradually disappeared from our lives and has become a pain in the hearts of our generation.
5. Making dumplings During the Spring Festival, every household will sit around to make dumplings, implying reunion, harmony and beauty. However, with the fast pace of modern life, more and more people choose to buy frozen dumplings instead of making them themselves. This custom of making dumplings by hand has also gradually faded into our lives.
In summary, these customs that have accompanied us through countless Spring Festivals have gradually disappeared from our sight. We can't help but regret their disappearance. However, we should understand that the disappearance of these customs does not mean that our culture is in decline, but that it is constantly evolving and developing. We should cherish these good memories, and at the same time, we should continue to innovate to make our traditional culture shine more brightly in the new era.
