Have you noticed the 10 strange phenomena of this year's Spring Festival?
First: there are fewer people who go to relatives
In previous years, after Chinese New Year's Eve, adults and children went to visit relatives and were very busy. This year seems to be different, there don't seem to be many people who go out these days, and everyone seems to prefer to stay at home and play with their mobile phones. Is everyone getting lazy this year?
Second: there are fewer red envelopes
In the past, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve meal in the Chinese New Year's Eve, all kinds of family groups, relatives groups, classmates groups, and comrades-in-arms groups were very lively, and there were many people who gave out red envelopes. But I found that this year, all kinds of relatives and friends groups and classmates were quiet, and basically no one shouted in the group, and there were even fewer red envelopes. Didn't everyone make any money this year?
Third: There are fewer people who post on Moments
In the past, every New Year, everyone would send a circle of friends, even some people who do not like to socialize, they would post a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or something, some people who traveled during the Spring Festival, and also sent photos of the scenery in various places, there is a kind of circle of friends is the same effect as their own travel. But this year, there are fewer people for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and fewer people are traveling, which is strange. Could it be that there are very few people who go out to play during the Spring Festival this year? Or are these people going out but too lazy to post on Moments? This year's Moments of Friends are a bit deserted.
Fourth: There are fewer Chinese New Year's Eve dinners drying Moutai
In the past, the circle of friends had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a bottle of Moutai was placed on the table, which seemed to be about to become a standard. Whether it is Feitian Moutai or not, the probability of several big characters of Moutai appearing on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the circle of friends is really high. But this year, even if someone occasionally has a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there seems to be no one on the table with Moutai wine. Is it true that everyone suddenly doesn't like to drink Moutai this year?
Fifth: Fewer people drive home
In the past few years, in the days before the Chinese New Year, the "parking space" in the village was frequently urgent. The roadside is full of cars, and sometimes it is difficult to walk, but this year there are significantly fewer cars in the village, but I found that the number of people returning to the village has not decreased, and I don't know what the situation is, is it really because of the snow in various places?
Sixth: There are fewer New Year's greeting text messages
In the past, from the Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day of the first lunar month, all kinds of blessing text messages were crazy to swipe the screen, but this year there are significantly less, and people who have never been absent from texting every year do not seem to like to send blessing text messages this year.
Seventh: There are fewer people gathering during the Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is the tide of returning to the hometown, you can see old neighbors, old friends, and old classmates who have not seen you for a long time, so the Chinese New Year used to be the peak period of the party, and all kinds of classmates will be busy. But this year is a bit special, many people report that the group of classmates is a little quiet, and no one is busy organizing gatherings, and things like chatting and sending red envelopes in the group are quite rare.
Eighth: There are fewer people watching the Spring Festival Gala
turned on the TV to play the Spring Festival Gala, and the mobile phone was jingling. This is probably the most common phenomenon on Chinese New Year's Eve this year. In most families, the TV is still on, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program is still played, but there are fewer families sitting around watching the Spring Festival Gala. In previous years, at least the elderly still watched TV, but this year it seems that the elderly also like to use their mobile phones.
Ninth: There are more takeout meals on Chinese New Year's Eve
Of course, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is mainly cooked by the family themselves, but I found that some families this year, although they will also cook themselves, will also order a few hard dishes through the takeaway platform. There are a total of 6 households on the floor where Xiaobian is located, of which two families ordered a few dishes to enrich the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table, including Xiaobian's family. Could it be that everyone is not confident in their cooking skills?
Tenth: There are more people who go to bed early on Chinese New Year's Eve
According to our traditional customs of the Chinese, Chinese New Year's Eve is to keep the New Year, except for some elderly people who are not in good health, most young people will stay up until after 12 o'clock in the morning before falling asleep. But on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, it seems that more and more people go to bed early, and some young people seem to be not keeping their age and going to bed early, as for whether to lie in bed and play with mobile phones or what, then I don't know.
