The new year is a festival, but also a kind of inheritance ceremony.
The ceremony immediately reminds people of a wedding. The venue layout, background lighting, protagonist guests, fireworks and food, flower blessings... According to the program, from listening, seeing, tasting, and feeling three-dimensionally pushing the romantic and warm atmosphere to the climax, so that the newcomers can remember in their hearts, the agreement of love: the white head and the old man, dress up for a lifetime.
The ceremony and contrast of the New Year are even more grand and brilliant.
During the period, which city does not have lights and colors, and wears red and hangs colors? Which village doesn't sing and ring into the clouds? What home isn't full of food and treats guests and friends? Who is not the protagonist of the New Year?? From hair to the soles of your feet...
The protagonists of the wedding ceremony are two people, and the New Year festival is all Chinese, covering 960,000 square kilometers, the outpost on the glacier, the giant ship on the sea, the drilling on the Gobi, and the window in the countryside, all written with festivities.
The wedding ceremony lasted only two hours and the procedure was meticulous. The New Year Festival, on the other hand, "passes the eighth year of the year", directly to the fifteenth lantern of the first month, which lasts for more than a month.
During the period programs such as Waxing Moon: Twenty-four, Sweeping the House; Twenty-Five, Making Tofu; Twenty-Six, Roasting New Year Meat; Twenty-Seven, Killing Nian Chicken; Twenty-Eight, Decal; Twenty-Nine, Offering; Chinese New Year's Eve Boiling for a Night... The day-to-day arrangement is actually much more open and colorful than the above folk songs!
The wedding ceremony conveys a covenant of love, and the New Year's Festival conveys all the blessings between people and people: blessings, longevity, nobility, wealth, abundance, joy... Spreading the longest culture: reunion, kindness, hard work, filial piety, family affection, faithfulness, loyalty...
The year is a festival, but it is a huge ceremony held by the whole country at the same time, more plump than any other ceremony, more brilliant, more intimate, like a melody played for a thousand years, a river that has flowed for a thousand years, so loud and so far-reaching.
Happy New Year!
