#This is the taste of the year #Do you think that it is getting less and less tasteful now? The years are getting less and less interesting. I still miss the feeling of the New Year when I was a child, that is, the moment of longing to be satisfied, revealing joy from the inside out.
I remember when I was a child, the New Year began with the hope of a new year. When the New Year comes, you can wear new clothes, wear new hats, and go out with your friends to set off fireworks and firecrackers. I remember the most anticipated moment is to sit by the sewing machine, waiting for my mother to use the sewing machine to make us new clothes, all year round, my mother is very busy, but never forget to make a new cotton jacket for each child in the New Year. There are many children in the family, and often it is not completed until the day when the Chinese New Year's Eve. Then we'll immediately put on our bodies and show off with our friends. Seeing the envious eyes of the children, the heart did not mention how proud, the small head was raised high, as if the cold air was full of sweet smell.
New Year's firecrackers are an essential entertainment. At that time, the family was not rich, and the budget for buying firecrackers was even smaller, so they cherished this hard-won happiness even more. At that time, firecrackers were set off, unlike now, they were all firecrackers, and they were released all at once. We would carefully take apart the firecrackers and put them one by one. We fixed the firecrackers in a position, for example, in a crack in the wall, and then lit them with a thin incense stick, ran away, and the bolder ones would light them in their hands, and then throw them out, covering their ears and waiting to hear the sound. The kind of fun is like eating melon seeds now, one after another, very addictive. Our favorite firecrackers are the double-firing cannons we call "two kicks." Because the firecracker was very large and dangerous, we all stood him on the flat ground, and then praised it with a cigarette butt from a distance, and then quickly ran away, and when we heard the two kicks and feet clanging in the air, the joy in our hearts rose at once.
Chinese New Year's Eve meal is also what we are most looking forward to. All year round, only these days of the New Year can eat a variety of meat, eggs and poultry that are difficult to eat, and parents always rack their brains to make various delicacies. Chinese New Year's Eve rice is laid out on a table, with good color and fragrance, which makes people salivate. During the meal, the chips are staggered, the laughter is laughter, and the excitement is booming.
Looking forward to the New Year is, to a large extent, looking forward to these material enjoyments that are usually difficult to get, as well as pleasant spiritual enjoyment. During the New Year, no matter how far away from home, relatives will rush back to their homes on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve on time. The traffic was not developed at that time, and every time people far away from home had to take the green-skinned train, and it took dozens of hours away, but even so, it could not stop the pace of going home. The warmth of home is vividly reflected in this moment.
Children's favorite is to kowtow to the elders in the big Chinese New Year's Eve, you can get the red packet, you have a small savings, you can use it to buy what you like, although the money in the red packet is not much, but it is the child's greatest hope.
We are now living in an era where we eat and wear without worry. New clothes can be bought at any time, and food can be tasted at any time, so these have lost their original appeal to us. With the requirements of the environment, fireworks and firecrackers are now less and less, and everyone is feeling that the taste of the year is getting lighter and lighter. Now the only thing that worries everyone is that they can be reunited with their families at the New Year, especially now, many young people are alone outside, more looking forward to the moment of going home, to feel the warmth of home, but even so, due to the development of modern communication tools, you can meet and communicate by video at any time, not as attractive as before.
Probably the best feeling is the moment of extreme desire and then satisfaction. The development of modern technology makes it easier for us to realize our desires, and it is less of an extreme happiness. Maybe the taste of the new year will become weaker and weaker in the future, but our Chinese traditions will not change, our desire will not change, and we will continue to meet in the festival, and we will continue to be full of yearning and still look forward to the New Year.
