There was a time when the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very important, it symbolized the members of the family, and it was a good time for the family to gather together and enjoy the joy of family on Chinese New Year's Eve every year.
However, because of the changes of the times, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also changing, from the ordinary meal in the fifties of the last century, slowly becoming the current feast. What do we lose in the process?
In the 50s, that is, when New China was just founded, although the food of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was simple, the warmth and happiness that can only be felt with the heart are really indescribable.
Every New Year, everyone sits together, eats a simple and delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and happily twists the song together after the meal, playing the temple fair, that kind of innocent and simple happiness, but now it is difficult to find it again.
Let's talk about the 60s, when the Chinese New Year was called"Collective year"Although the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a little higher than that of the fifties, the joy of cooking for the whole family is unforgettable.
The aunt next door sewed new clothes by herself, and the whole family ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the commune's public cafeteria.
Then in the 70s, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was mainly based on cabbage, but people's love for life at that time was really touching.
Although the entertainment activities at that time were relatively simple, the mood of waiting in a long line at the post and telecommunications bureau to chat with family members far away was also full of warmth.
In the 80s, the Chinese New Year was called "after the reform year", and the dinner table at home became richer and more diverse.
In the 90s, the Chinese New Year was called the "Open Year", when the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home was full of various foods, watching New Year movies, setting off firecrackers, that lively scene, it was really unforgettable.
In the 00s, the Chinese New Year was called "Personalized New Year", and many families began to choose to eat outside restaurants, and some even chose to travel abroad or domestically during the Chinese New Year. The gifts given during the Chinese New Year are also becoming more and more diverse.
Whenever we think of those Chinese New Year's Eve dinners in the past, the mountains and seas are full of delicacies, and the blessing text messages received on our mobile phones are dazzling, and we all want to try to find the happiness of the New Year.
But can we really find those simple and happy years?
Society is progressing rapidly, and the standard of living is getting higher and higher, but we have lost the joy of making food by hand.
How did you spend your New Year's holiday? Do you remember?
Is it just to sleep at home, eat, and grab red envelopes? Is there only time left for firecrackers? Hey, now that it's the New Year, I feel like there's a lot less atmosphere.
In addition to grabbing red envelopes and dealing with those relatives and friends, it seems that it is difficult for us to regain the simple feeling of celebrating the New Year when we were children!
