With the passage of time, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the children are jumping more and more, looking forward to the "New Year" wearing new clothes and having good food and fun. When adults walk by the child' side, they will say with a complicated mood: "Children look forward to the New Year, adults look forward to planting fields." Children only know that the New Year can bring them good food and clothing, and adults will look forward to sowing seeds in the spring and harvesting in autumn. Nowadays, people's living standards are no longer as simple as eating and dressing, because eating and dressing has reached the new year every day.
I remember when I was a child, there was no electric light, no running water, no motorized vehicles at home, and it was rare to see a few two-story "Western-style buildings" for dozens or even hundreds of miles, and the night sky in winter did not even have much starlight. The countryside is as calm as a pond of stagnant water, usually a kind of tranquility, tranquility, the sun rises and the moon sets.
Now it's good, the family does not worry about eating, does not worry about wearing, every household lives in a high-rise building, looking around, the lights are flashing everywhere... The taste of the year in my eyes is not on the table, but in the following three aspects.
First, the taste of the big red lantern hanging high

Wherever I went, whether it was the streets and alleys, or the sides of the road, or above the lintels of the shops, or the eaves in front of the doors of every household, there were big red lanterns hanging high. Everywhere you looked, there was a red-hot fire.
Hanging lanterns, traditionally believed to have the auspicious meaning of Hong (red) luck, hanging lanterns during the New Year's Festival, basically are auspicious patterns and auspicious words of blessings, plus the red color of the lantern is the color of cinnabar, and cinnabar is a treasure with strong effect on feng shui to remove evil, so since ancient times, there is a tradition of hanging red lanterns on the gate during the New Year's Festival.
Lanterns are not only tools used for illumination in ancient times, in traditional feng shui numerology, it is also a symbol of auspiciousness, but also because "lamp" and "Ding" pronunciation is similar, it means that people are prosperous, and they are regarded as auspicious omens.
Every year in the first month of the lunar calendar, every household hangs a red lantern symbolizing auspiciousness to create a festive atmosphere, and the lantern has also become a symbol of Chinese festivities. It reflects the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.
Second, write the Spring League and paste the New Year's flavor of the Spring League

For the sake of the Spring Festival, writing the Spring Festival and pasting the Spring Festival is actually a kind of resignation and welcoming the new, inheriting traditional customs. Chunlian is a unique literary form of the mainland, and attaching Chunlian is also a way to inherit traditional customs, which is a respect for ancestors and the inheritance of traditions.
To add to the festive atmosphere, the Spring Festival symbolizes festive joy. Every Spring Festival, every household posts the Spring Festival, which means the New Year and the New Year, increases the festive atmosphere, and looks very festive.
Spring League also symbolizes good wishes, the ancients pasted the Spring League to drive away evil spirits and ensure peace, and we in the Spring Festival paste Spring League is also to express their good wishes, to bless the family in the new year, peace and security, family happiness.
The most important role of the Spring League is to ward off evil spirits, and the traditional meaning of the Spring League means auspicious and auspicious, symbolizing the expectation of a better life. Some of the words of Tim Ting's prosperity and Wufu Linmen are liked by many people.
The Spring Festival, which adds joy to the Spring Festival, is commonly known as the door pair. Every year during the Spring Festival, every household puts a big red Spring Festival on the door, which adds to the festive atmosphere.
Third, the wanderer goes home for the New Year's eve

For 5,000 years in China, the traditional festival lunar new year is the most important festival for the Chinese people. Even the wanderers who are far away in the sky have to go through hardships and go home for the New Year. Whether they are working in other places, working in other places, or traveling outside, they must rush home before the Lunar New Year. The crowds at stations, docks, airports, people with their bags rolled up, the mighty queues.
Because home is the most beautiful expectation. There are elderly parents in the family who need to go home to fulfill their filial piety; there are young children in the family who need to go home to take care of them; and there are more young wives in the family who need to go home for reunion.
The Chinese nation's care for the family and its dependence on family affection are incomprehensible and incomparable to any other country or nation. The Great Migration of the Spring Festival is the characteristic culture of the Chinese nation and the unique feelings of the Chinese dynasties and dynasties. It is also the most beautiful interpretation of China's family, the warm harbor of home, and the extreme attachment.
Therefore, Chinese concept of home is unimaginable and incomprehensible to foreigners. Home, what a warm word, what a happy expectation!
Home is an eternal concern, home is a warm harbor, and home is a liability. "If you have money and no money, go home for the New Year." Whether you are a student far away from home, a fledgling wage earner, or a strong middle-aged person who stands tall in the sky, you must rush home for a reunion year. Reunion is the responsibility of every family member, and without one person, it cannot be called reunion.
May the whole country and the world, when the whole world celebrates together, thousands of households, thousands of households, can be reunited, full of happiness! May the New Year of the Tiger, all sentient beings, blessings, Lu, and longevity catch up; heaven, earth, and human popularity will all be complete! May new and old friends all live a prosperous year of the tiger, happiness year by year, everything goes smoothly, happy, peaceful and peaceful year! May the Chinese nation and the whole country be reunited!
