Denmark, on the other hand, uses hygge to make the world sought after
Hey, don't roll up, take a break
Make yourself hygge up~
Hygge, from the Nordic language, originally meaning "well-being", pronounced [heu-gah], is the Danish keyword for happiness. It can be a noun, a verb, or an adjective, but it's hard to translate precisely and appropriately, whether you're using Chinese or English. But it's very practical, say, a very Hygge restaurant.
If you must find a word to explain, Haruki Murakami's "small luck" is closer, that is, to meet great happiness in a small life. In simple terms, Hygge is not a thing or an object, it is an abstract feeling, a comfortable atmosphere to spend with intimate people.
Hygge, it's not just "cozy": a hot cup of coffee in the cold, a summer afternoon lounging on a bicycle... And it is this "small luck" that determines the essence of Nordic design - pure, refined, simple, not superficial "frigidity".
Hygge is "big" and "small" in Danish culture, and the big thing is that it is as important to the Danes as Danish roast pork, deeply affecting Danish culture bit by bit, reflecting all aspects of daily life; it is also very "small", as small as even a Danish breakfast in the morning, as small as sitting on the sofa at home and reading a book leisurely can be a kind of hygge. It is a danish habit of life, but also a Danish attitude to life. Denmark is located in Northern Europe, high latitude, winter is very long accompanied by a short period of sunshine, the Danes did not choose to complain, but chose this hygge lifestyle to enjoy life and love life, thus making them one of the happiest people in the world.
Denmark is full of life and vitality in summer, but winter, especially Christmas, is the best time for Danes to enjoy hygge. This is a powerful weapon for the Danes to defeat the long winter nights, where thousands of lighted candles are lit at the largest amusement park in Northern Europe, Tivoli:
Indeed, only the comparison with the cold winter nights can show the value of this hygge attitude of the Danes.
Hygge-style comfortable life means that people always maintain a comfortable and pleasant state of life, emphasizing the sense of ritual and happiness in the pursuit of life details, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than to return to the purity of life. It doesn't refer to anything concrete, it's a feeling, a good state of mind, a Danish philosophy of life.
Hygge can neither be bought with money nor can it be expected to be obtained from others.
In the eyes of the Danes, the drink chat after meeting an old friend on the street is hygge;
Basking in the sun on the grass with children is hygge; lighting a candlestick in a dimly lit house is hygge;
Everyone has a smile on their face, even strangers who don't know each other, they will take off their hats to salute, and polite greetings are also hygge;
Hygge is not a rare luxury, but a state of life that everyone should have.
There is a key word in Hygge's concept – companionship.
This trait has long been rooted in Danish culture, giving Danes an extra soft heart and loving eyes. Every year at Christmas, they never enjoy the prosperity alone, whether it is food, beauty, or everything related to Christmas, they all belong to "love".
The Danes make a clear distinction between wealth and happiness. They realize that when basic living needs are met, more wealth does not necessarily lead to happiness. It is the presence of Hygge that is somewhat downplayed
The Danes' underlying "wealth anxiety". So, The Danes focus on things that improve the quality of their lives and are willing to take the time to amplify and prolong this feeling.
Therefore, every year in the Christmas Month, the Danes will deliberately take the initiative to slow down their own pace of life, choose to enjoy the time with family and friends during this period, and contact and understand the bits and pieces of life. Holiday time is used by the Danes to build relationships between people, create stories between families, and reminisce with loved ones.
This feeling of relaxation and thoughtfulness with intimate people, and the process of taking the time to create an atmosphere with others, perfectly interprets the Danish Hygge Christmas panorama. In the Hygge atmosphere carefully prepared by the Danes, the comfort zone of the person is infinitely expanded; In the company of "together", Hygge makes love more aware of love.
Enjoy spending time with family and friends, comprehending and feeling the bits and pieces of life, and occasionally "deliberately" slowing down the pace of our lives, we can all take our own steps towards the Danish "hygge" culture!
