Speaking of the New Year, naturally people think of the Lunar New Year, that is, this day to leave the old and welcome the new, in people's minds, it can be said that it is an irreplaceable traditional grand festival of the Chinese nation, and it is also a day to truly welcome the beginning of a new future. Usually, the Lunar New Year is mostly around the beginning of the Spring Festival, and with the arrival of the Lunar New Year, it heralds the arrival of the spring of the recovery of all things and the renewal of Vientiane, how can people's emotions not be infected? I think this is probably the origin of the name "New Year".
New Spring, a "new" word has highlighted everything, corresponding to the "old", those past ups and downs, those past tribulations, including those unbearable failures, now have become the past, regret or rejoicing, experience, lessons, and finally with the arrival of the New Year and "ashes", rekindled is the journey of "wind and rain", just as the calendar tears down the past, shows the future, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, there is no river that cannot be crossed, Time will tell, as long as you have unquenchable expectations in your heart.
Perhaps due to the influence of traditional festival habits, people always like to look back and summarize when the New Year arrives, look at the harvest and income of the year, more or less must be inventoried, income or expenditure must be settled when the Lunar New Year arrives, and then spend the New Year happily and peacefully. It may seem a bit contrary to the daily accepted deadline (January 1 to December 31), but this is the conventional Chinese settlement method.
It is precisely because of the position of the Spring Festival in people's minds, so as soon as they enter the month of La Yue, people begin to calculate and prepare how to spend this New Year, so various customs "flock to", starting from La Ba, the prelude to the Spring Festival began to officially kick off, remember that there is a first smooth slip is a good expression of the customs of the years ago, "Children, children, don't be hungry, after La Ba is the New Year, La Ba porridge, in a few days, Li Li Lala twenty-three, twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, twenty-four, sweep the house, twenty-five, make tofu, twenty-six, go to cut meat." , twenty-seven, slaughtered chicken, twenty-eight, put the noodles hair, twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, thirty nights to stay up for the night, the first day of the new year twisted. "The words reveal a sense of urgency and step-by-step to welcome the arrival of the New Year, and a joy and joy to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
This may be the essence of the Spring Festival, abandon the troubles of the past, shake off the baggage of the past, regroup the majestic style, travel lightly, and welcome a better future in prayer and wishes, there is a poem that says, "One year old in the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su." Thousands of doors and thousands of households, always exchange new peaches for old charms. "Doesn't all this reflect an emotional rendering, people's desire to leave the old and welcome the new?
In the days of this new spring, look back in time, the years are in a hurry, and forget the passage of time; Persist in the goal and do not change the direction of progress; The stars shine brightly, illuminating the galloping distance; The words are cherished, and the tired heart is warmed... But whether it is success or failure, whether it is success or setback, it is our sparkling past memory, which will become a force for us to regroup in the future, spread our wings and create miracles with faith.
