#头条创作挑战赛# "Mother's hand line, wandering son's top", mother is an ordinary and great title, everyone's growth is inseparable from the mother's care and care, especially after they start a family, they will feel the mother's difficulty and greatness.
The second weekend of May every year is Mother's Day, the origin of this holiday comes from the United States, it is said to commemorate the day of the death of a woman's mother in the United States, and initiated a day of thanksgiving and remembrance, and later began to spread, but Mother's Day, an imported foreign festival, was not spread to China for a long time.
The earliest Chinese started Mother's Day, basically like Christmas, are imported by merchants to stir up, for a time every year on the second weekend of May, the street can be seen everywhere selling carnations, and many restaurants and shopping malls will also carefully prepare to launch marketing activities.
For a while, it seems like the second weekend of May, if you don't accompany your mother home for the holiday and don't give your mother some gifts, you will not be happy to let the merchants advertise.
However, this year's Mother's Day is somewhat deserted, less lively and noisy in previous years, many young people are also a little disdainful of this imported foreign festival, many people feel that it is normal for this Mother's Day to be cold, these 4 reasons, very realistic.
1. Today's young people are not easy to fool
Nowadays, there are few people shopping in physical stores, especially shopping malls that sell clothing and small household appliances, and young people prefer to shop online, and would rather stay at home than go out during the break, so even if the merchants shout hard this Mother's Day, there are not many people to cater to.
Many young people feel that gratitude and giving back to their mothers is something to be done for a long time, and there is no need to dedicate a day to doing it, which is somewhat pretentious, and honoring parents is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and there is no need to rely on foreign festivals to show.
And now many shopping malls are good at making festivals, which has long been bored by many consumers, so these routines of merchants can't be fooled in the eyes of today's young people.
2. Mothers don't know much about this verse
Nowadays, many older mothers don't know about foreign festivals at all, they are more enthusiastic about traditional festivals, and Mother's Day flowers are somewhat useless for many middle-aged and elderly mothers, because this carnation is neither suitable for food nor use, they will think that the child is purely superfluous and indiscriminate.
The traditional festivals of the Chinese pay attention to affordability, or there are a lot of festivals and customs in it, this foreign Mother's Day, itself is set up to commemorate the dead mother, which is also incompatible with Chinese folk traditional customs, so such a festival in front of the mother who understands the situation does not let the child give.
3. Today's young people are becoming more and more confident
Nowadays, young people are pursuing tradition and individuality, and Mother's Day has almost no holiday characteristics except for sending flowers, and now it is basically kindergarten children who send blessings to young mothers under the guidance of teachers.
For young people who have grown up, gratitude and giving back to their mothers is something that must be done in their bones, and honoring their mothers as a festival seems to be contrary to traditional Chinese culture, and Mother's Day, an imported foreign festival, has some traditions and culture, which makes this generation of young people who are particularly confident in Chinese tradition and culture naturally reluctant to live.
4. There is no cost-effective consumption on Mother's Day
There is no need to find a special day to celebrate, after all, there are many traditional festivals in China, and many of them pay attention to family reunion and filial piety to parents.
Mother's Day packages launched by restaurants and shopping malls on Mother's Day are no longer attractive to young people who are used to seeing them, and now young people pay attention to cost-effectiveness, and they also like to consume clearly, and flower shops and merchants who want to make a lot of money with the help of the gimmick of Mother's Day, this careful thinking will naturally be recognized by young people, so it has become a very normal thing to be cold on Mother's Day.
Now there are many traditional festivals and foreign festivals in a year, thanks to the development of Chinese society and economy in recent years, foreign festivals have begun to be collectively cold, but the traditional festivals of Chinese have begun to become more and more popular among young people, so it is not surprising that Mother's Day, an imported festival, is cold.
