This is probably the most uninteresting Spring Festival in life, and it will probably be like this for decades to come.
This is perhaps the most interesting Spring Festival, tourism and consumption have become the main activities, and from here began to align with developed countries.
Zaozhuang architecture, in miniature
Practice thinking, cast the future
The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and carries a rich historical and cultural heritage in the inheritance and development, in addition to the old cloth new, exorcism, worship of gods and ancestors, firecrackers, Blessings and Prayers for the New Year, etc. as the main content, the form is rich and colorful, condensing the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
First, the Spring Festival under the ban has become cold and clear
Environmental health issues have gradually become the focus of national attention, blue sky and white clouds have become a luxury, many places across the country have successively introduced a ban on fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival in 2022, and various places in Shandong Province have also introduced fireworks bans until March, Zaozhuang has a better overall effect under the ban, and only sporadic fireworks occur.
According to the situation in previous years, Chinese New Year's Eve will set off a large number of firecrackers on the day, but also to remind everyone that the Spring Festival is coming, sometimes people's psychology is like this, the sense of ceremony is haunted.
The biggest feeling I got this year is that it's very deserted, and that's it? New Year's Eve without firecrackers? A bland day?
Second, the taste of the year is becoming weaker and weaker, and so is family affection and friendship
In the past, when the New Year was held, probably from the beginning of the annual holidays, I would gather with friends and classmates, play cards and sing, drink and talk, but now I have slowly become a strict wife, focusing on family children, and the New Year's party must be limited time and chill.
Family affection is also the same, when I was a child, I went to relatives during the winter vacation, my aunt and grandmother's house I could live for half a month, my uncle's family could also eat for a few days, and now that I was older, I couldn't go, so I could let the children walk around each other and pass on, but unfortunately there was none. Students and children prefer to stay at home and play with their mobile phones, rather than go to relatives.
And I chose a short self-driving tour, from the third day of the first year to yesterday's Lantern Festival, Zaozhuang five districts and one city of large and small scenic spots, shopping malls and supermarkets almost slipped through, by the way to study the current situation of Zaozhuang skiing and the current situation of the operation of various scenic spots.
Friends and family like me, there are many people in the circle of friends, tengzhou has become the main place to play and consume.
Third, most of the consumption patterns are combined with children's amusement facilities
During the Spring Festival, in all the places I visited Zaozhuang, I could almost always see the figure of amusement facilities, and "children's money is good to earn" was used by more and more merchants to learn and carry forward.
These merchants have grasped the pain points and needs of consumers, at the current stage of "everything is based on children", especially during the Spring Festival, most consumers are bringing children or students to play together, which is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity. Old and new, big or small, as long as the pestle is there, there are always children who will play.
The Spring Festival has become a good time for merchants to make money, many products can be sold out even if there is no discount promotion, taking Zaozhuang RT-Mart as an example, the four times I went to the same as the Canglangyuan Temple Fair, a footprint a pit, people mountain people sea!
Fourth, the glory of the old city recovered
As a coal miner and coal N generation, I have a special relationship with this city built because of coal, and I can't bear to see it become the next Ordos.
After the release of the population data, I was still shocked and excited, I did not expect that in the past ten years, the population of the old city central district has increased so much, and the permanent population has reached more than 610,000 people. This is where I ignored and even doubted before, until this year's Spring Festival, I saw a large number of residents in the urban area, queuing, rushing to buy, traffic jams, especially the Triangle Garden, this once CBD core area made me twice a big traffic jam, it turned out that those who sang empty the old city and watched the old city deceived me.
This weekend, I will put forward my own views on the topic of the recovery of the glory of the old city, and welcome everyone to leave a message to discuss.
Fifth, the Winter Olympics have become the main venue for this year's Spring Festival
There was little attention paid to winter sports before, but the Olympics are familiar. The 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing, and the central 5, 5+, and 16 stations have become three channels fixed every night.
oh? It turns out that there are so many fun projects, and all kinds of praise and exclamations in the circle of friends!
What sleds, veneers, steel frame snowmobiles, parallel giant slaloms, speed skating, figure skating, these although I can't, but seeing these athletes compete during the New Year, undoubtedly makes me feel the rich and colorful Spring Festival this year. From the anticipation of the New Year's carnival to the bland weekend, to the ecstasy of discovering a new continent, I instantly fell in love with ice and snow sports, wow!
In addition to the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into tusu, and thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms.
The year, just like this, plain, used to look forward to the New Year, now it is as plain as a weekend.
This year, it is not heard that firecrackers seem uncomfortable, and the custom of burning wolf smoke is no longer there.
The year, just like this, the favorite New Year goods can be bought without blinking, but the New Year flavor cannot be bought.
Thinking is respect for the world
Exploration is a preparation for the future
Practice is the test of truth
