"Spring Festival" means the end of the year and the beginning of a new year.
When I was a child, the most anticipated day was the New Year, not only to have New Year's money, but also to wear new clothes.
But with the development of life, the "New Year's flavor" is getting weaker and weaker.
In the past, people panicked as soon as they arrived at the end of the year, but now it can be said that "stable as Mount Tai".
Especially in recent years, when it comes to the upcoming New Year, these "4 strange phenomena" have begun to stand out.
What are the "4 strange phenomena", and why are people now reluctant to "celebrate the New Year"?
The family began to stop stocking up on New Year's goods
As early as a few years ago, when I said that the New Year was approaching, the old man in the family was nervous. Less than two months before the Chinese New Year, I began to stock up, and those who could stock up on chicken, duck and fish meat must be stocked.
I'm afraid that there will not be enough food to eat at home during the New Year, after all, it is not easy to buy vegetables in the New Year. Every family has gone to their relatives, who will have time to sell vegetables.
During that time, the refrigerator at home and the kitchen floor were basically all stockpiled by the elders of the family.
I knew that I thought it was to prepare for the New Year, but I didn't know what kind of gossip I thought was that the price of vegetables was greatly reduced.
At some point in time, we often can't understand the behavior of our parents, why?
It wasn't until I grew up that I went to buy vegetables by myself that I realized that the price of all the vegetables had doubled in price some time before the Chinese New Year.
But when we hoarded vegetables, we found that few people were hoarding vegetables, and the panicked atmosphere before began to fade away, and it seemed that the atmosphere of the New Year was slowly fading.
It's as if the festival that I longed for when I was a child has become a sparse and ordinary day, and the emotions of joy and excitement are no longer so strong.
And the sense of ritual about the New Year is only about the family having a reunion dinner, which can't help but regret and nostalgia.
The child is not looking forward to the New Year
I still remember that when we were young, one of the days we looked forward to the most was the New Year, and when it came to the New Year, we would definitely have to wear new clothes.
At that time, I couldn't buy a few new clothes a year, and basically wore them passed down from my brothers and sisters.
In addition, the Chinese New Year also means that you can have your own New Year's money, although you are often "cheated" by your parents. But they also gave us a little money, and they were already very happy.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we began to gather all kinds of friends, and the first place to visit was the commissary.
Why, because the only fun of celebrating the New Year at any time is to set off firecrackers and all kinds of flowers.
Sometimes some people also buy a few boxes of fireworks to put on, and many people look at them when they are put on the side, which time the New Year's flavor can be described as sufficient.
Today's children are the opposite of what we used to be, and they are not as looking forward to the New Year as we were then. It's even a little annoying, why do you say that?
Because the New Year has passed, it means that they are about to start school, and the winter vacation homework has not been completed, so they are not looking forward to this New Year.
And in addition to this one reason, the current New Year is no longer the same as before.
There is no New Year's flavor, not to mention, and there is nothing lacking in children's lives now, I don't know how many times better than the conditions we had at that time.
Naturally, there is no such hope for the New Year, and for them it may be just a day for a family to eat.
Migrant workers do not return to their hometowns
The Spring Festival is considered a big day of the year, and no matter what time of year it is, it has always continued the tradition of the family sitting at the dinner table to eat.
The table is also set up with meals that are rarely eaten in daily life, and dumplings and dumplings are also indispensable. 、
And those migrant workers who are away from home will also rush to buy tickets home during the Spring Festival, just to be able to reunite with their families who have not seen each other for nearly a year.
In the past, the Spring Festival transportation was basically carried by train, and I often brought some special products home from the place where I worked.
I thought that I could let my relatives who had never been out of home also be able to taste the local products of other places, but I didn't say a word about the hard work of my Spring Festival.
Carrying a large bag and sitting on a hard seat, I don't feel at ease when I go to the toilet, after all, the thief will start working during the Spring Festival.
The toilet is sloppy, and people who are a little farther away from home are uncomfortable when they want to nap on the train.
But even this does not affect their mood of wanting to go home, and now for the current generation, the Spring Festival is a day when they do not have to go to work.
Even some people don't go home during the Spring Festival, is it because they don't want to go home?
No, no one doesn't want to go home and be with their families. It's just that I have no choice but to continue living in other places due to the pressure of life, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also sloppy.
And this is only part of the reason, and another point is that some people feel that there is no New Year's flavor when they go home.
It's better to play with friends. And this has become an important factor for some people to go home and not be able to reunite with their families and have a full good year.
There are fewer and fewer relatives visiting for the New Year
In the past, after Chinese New Year's Eve, it was time to take red envelopes for the New Year, which is also the most important thing to look forward to.
After all, the gifts are bought by our parents, but the New Year's money is our own, so why not do it.
And on the way to a relative's house, you can see piles of gifts placed on the street everywhere.
In the past, the most I bought probably were six walnuts, eight-treasure porridge and the like, but of course, it was possible that the ones sold in each place were different.
There is a big difference between now and before, especially among young people.
Visiting relatives is simply fatal, not to mention how many families there are now, and the relationship with relatives is not as close as before.
It's not because of money or because of the question of who to live in for the elderly, so it's difficult to get along with each other. Not to mention visiting relatives for the New Year.
In addition to this, there is also the above-mentioned factor that migrant workers are reluctant to return to their hometowns, and in the tradition of the mainland, it has always been the principle that juniors give New Year's greetings to their elders.
Both parents are already old, and most of their elders are gone, so this New Year's greeting naturally fell on our heads. People are still out of town and don't want to come back, so who is going to go to relatives?
In addition, there is a very important point is the lack of "New Year's flavor", and since I was not allowed to let the guns go, I always feel that there is something in the New Year.
In the past, the sound of your firecrackers added a lot of lively atmosphere to the New Year, but now the New Year is indeed quiet and silent. It can't help but make people nostalgic for the "New Year's flavor" of the past.
As the days go by, there is a new year to usher, but people's mood does not seem to change.
But in any case, the "Spring Festival" is a day for big family reunions, and the tradition over the years cannot be lost.
Wanderers and migrant workers who are away should also remember to go home for reunion.
After all, the days with my parents in the future are one day less than one day, and I often go home to see!
