In this era of rapid development, our pace of life is getting faster and faster, and many traditional customs and precious qualities are gradually being forgotten. In this era of change, it is necessary to look back and reflect on what the Chinese are slowly losing.
Here are 10 things worth pondering.
1. The atmosphere of traditional festivals
Once upon a time, our traditional festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., were days of family reunion and laughter. However, these festivals seem to be becoming more and more unatmospheric, and people are more likely to post gifts and travel in the circle of friends during the festival, ignoring the original intention of the festival. Those strong traditional atmospheres are getting farther and farther away from us.
2. Family affection between neighbors
In modern society, people's lives are getting faster and faster, and the relationship between neighbors is becoming more and more estranged. In the past, the kind of neighborhood relationship that helped each other and was like a family is now rare. We can't help but sigh that in this bustling world, we have lost that innocent neighborly affection.
3. The art of Chinese calligraphy
With the development of science and technology, we have stepped from the era of pen and paper to the age of electronics. Although this has made our lives more convenient, it has also made the ancient Chinese calligraphy gradually disappear from our lives. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer young people who can write with a brush. We can't help but lament that this art, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is gradually being lost in our hands.
Fourth, the warmth of the correspondence
With the popularization of the Internet, people have rarely used letters to communicate, and instead have fast text messages and WeChat. Although this method is more convenient, the expectation and warmth in the letter cannot be replaced by modern communication tools. We are saddened to find that the once heart-warming correspondence has now disappeared from people's daily lives.
5. The culture of natural farming
As urbanization progresses, more and more farmers leave the land and move into the cities. The traditional natural farming culture has gradually been replaced by modern agriculture, and the farming tools that carry the wisdom and fruits of our ancestors' labor are rarely mentioned today. We fear that if it is not preserved and passed on, this farming culture will gradually disappear.
6. Reverence for nature
In modern society, people are excessively pursuing material life and have an increasing demand for nature. However, in the process, we gradually lose our reverence for nature. That reverence and fear of nature, the wisdom passed down from our ancestors, is now in jeopardy.
7. Inheritance of family concepts
With the development of the times, people's family concept has gradually weakened. Many young people only focus on their own life and career, ignoring the family legacy. The genealogies and family mottos that carry the family history and family honor have now been put on the shelf. We are worried that if the inheritance of family values is not strengthened, the family culture will gradually disappear.
8. Admiration for heroes
In times of peace, people's admiration for heroes fades. Those heroes who sacrificed great sacrifices for the country and the nation have now been forgotten by many people. We can't help but sigh that in this era, heroes are no longer being taken
Worship has become a scarce commodity.
9. Reverence for knowledge
In the age of information explosion, people have easy access to a wealth of knowledge. However, this convenience has gradually caused us to lose our reverence for knowledge. The scholars and experts who once made us admire are no longer respected. We fear that if we do not regain our reverence for knowledge, people's enthusiasm for learning will wane.
10. Treat each other sincerely
In a modern society where relationships are becoming increasingly complex, it can be difficult to find an attitude of sincerity. Those days of hypocrisy and calculation make us feel exhausted. We can't help but sigh that in this day and age, sincerity has become a luxury.
Epilogue:
In these times of rapid change, we do lose a lot of precious things. However, losing doesn't mean losing forever. As long as we are aware of these problems and have the courage to face and change, we will have a chance to get these precious things back. Let us work together for the sake of our next generation, for our nation, for our country, and strive to get back these lost things!
