Why do you think the smell of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker?

Now that the taste of the New Year is light, first of all, life is good, you have everything you want to eat, and dumplings that can only be eaten during the New Year in the past are now commonplace. Frozen pears that used to be eaten only during the Chinese New Year, who wants to gnaw on them now? I'm afraid not.

In the past, people did New Year's goods for the New Year, buying firecrackers for children and buying new clothes. There are also girls' headdresses, a red ribbon, and a few flower hairpins. What is necessary is the New Year's painting, the red paper for writing Spring Festival couplets.

Vermicelli, greens, and peppercorn noodles. The adults came back with big bags and small bags, and the children were happy. From the twenty-third day of the lunar month, I counted the days and waited for the New Year.

Looking forward to the New Year every day, not only children are looking forward to the New Year, but also adults who have been busy for a year are also looking forward to the New Year. From thirty to the first day of junior high school, play all night. In the second year of junior high school, relatives began to visit the door, New Year's greetings are an important part of the year, the general situation is that the younger generation to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, some bring gifts, and then the elders want to give the younger generations red envelopes.

It's really interesting to celebrate the New Year. If firecrackers are prohibited during the New Year, then the New Year will be even more tasteless. The second reason is that there are very few multi-child families, and most of their only children are married and started a business, and they can only spend the New Year at one parent's house during the New Year, so the other party only has empty nest old people, and naturally loses a lot of laughter.

When there are fewer people, it will not be lively, and the taste of the New Year is really light.

In the past, the New Year's flavor was very strong, because at that time, the material was poor, and only when the New Year could you buy new clothes, in order to improve your life, and you would buy some meat to improve your life during the New Year, and then there was no entertainment life before, and people could get together to play cards and entertain, drink and chat, and there was no ban on fireworks and firecrackers before, and the crackling fireworks also increased the New Year's flavor. Now that the standard of living has improved, the clothes and food that can only be worn during the Chinese New Year can now be worn and eaten at any time. Secondly, now everyone has a mobile phone, and there are other ways of entertainment, so even if the party is a party during the New Year, everyone looks at their own mobile phones, and there is less communication between friends.

In addition, fireworks and firecrackers are now banned in many places, and adults and children are missing a very important annual activity. All of this has led to the fact that there is no New Year's flavor now.

Many people in their 60s will move the birthday banquet to the New Year, when the whole village will come to eat and drink. Everyone will bring the New Year's goods prepared by their own families to the birthday star's home to celebrate, each person has a bag of fruits, melon seeds, and the entire table is full. The villagers sat around eating and chatting, and the children kowtowed to the elders to ask for red envelopes, and the whole village was very lively.

But in recent years, this custom has gradually disappeared, as young people begin to take charge of the house, everyone likes to simplify the complex, even if there are old people to celebrate their birthdays, only a few relatives and friends in the family are invited, and the whole village will not be invited to take turns to help the fun, and the taste of the New Year is becoming more and more light. It is said that the happiest people in the New Year should be children, we recall the New Year, and most of the interesting things we think of are childhood. At that time, everyone got together to set off firecrackers and exchange snacks, more red envelopes than who received, and a few days passed quickly, and the New Year was over happily.

But on the one hand, when these children grow up, the pure emotions of their youth are long gone. When everyone grew up, they went out for a walk, their horizons were broadened, and they came into contact with more people and things, so they naturally put their old friends behind. Second, even today's children don't have the fun of setting off firecrackers (banned), collecting red envelopes (usually a lot of pocket money), and eating snacks (how can children still have snacks that haven't eaten now).

Because life is becoming more and more colorful now, especially the popularity of mobile phones, everyone plays with mobile phones at home, instead of going to celebrate the New Year, and then now many people don't go home for the New Year, and they feel that their homes are much lighter.

When I was a child, I lacked material conditions, inconvenient transportation, and lacked clothes to wear. During the Chinese New Year, you can wear new clothes, eat big fish and meat and all kinds of candy that you can't usually eat, and relatives come to eat and chat because of inconvenient transportation, and you have to entertain guests almost every day before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which naturally brings you closer. Therefore, people are looking forward to the Chinese New Year, and they also attach great importance to the New Year.

Now that the living conditions are better, the standard of living has improved, eating is not taken seriously, and every family has a car, basically putting down things and sitting for a while and leaving, which seems to be a light New Year.

In the past, I lived in poor conditions and could not eat enough, especially without meat and oil for a year, and my clothes were in tatters. But no matter how poor you are for the New Year, you will eat meat and white bread, have new clothes to wear and five cents of New Year's money, and usually don't see money at all. Therefore, children look forward to the New Year, and adults work hard to prepare for the New Year.

There is also today's comparison, where relatives walk around to see who eats well. Now life is the same, but the etiquette is cumbersome, and it is money for young people, and there is no other benefit. I hope that the cancellation of the Spring Festival will reduce the burden on young people.

Some elderly people take advantage of the Spring Festival to ask for money and gifts, regardless of whether they are short of money or not. Since I worked, my expenses for the New Year have basically been two or three months' salary, and the tension after the Spring Festival has been bothering me. Now I don't ask my son for anything during the Spring Festival, and people have experienced it.

I think the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, the most critical reason is that everyone has no expectations for the New Year, when I was young, my family was very poor, looking forward to the hope that I could eat a lot of delicious food in the New Year, and I could wear a new set of clothes in the New Year, and now we are not a luxury for these, so the New Year's taste is becoming more and more boring.

When I was young, there were no gorgeous streets, no colorful clothes, and everyone didn't compare what they worn, what they drank, what they lived. At that time, it was especially expected that during the New Year's holidays, relatives could wear new clothes and eat seasonal pastries, such as moon cakes, glutinous rice balls, dumplings, fried fruits, etc. Now that I have grown up, after 30 years of reform and opening up, the speed of development is very fast, high-rise buildings are full of traffic, wages can never catch up with expenses, and I am busy going to work every day to earn money, and there are very few in my hands all year round.

What's more, now people's vanity and comparison are heavier, all kinds of electrical appliances are more expensive, they can't afford to eat, drink, buy, live, and have to worry about making money every day. For adults, they don't have money themselves, and they need money every New Year's festival and visiting relatives and friends. There is a saying in our hometown that the New Year is money, and can there be a New Year's flavor without money.

Now life is celebrating the New Year every day. When I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year, which was the Spring Festival, and I had a few days to eat. Wear new clothes.

It was really a long-awaited time. Adults can accompany children not to work. Relatives and friends please each other to eat.

The children can also get New Year's money. So I look forward to these good days all year round. And now I eat better than I used to eat for the New Year.

Add new clothes as you like. Buy when you see the right one. The abundance of material life, there is no desire to look forward to the New Year.

I think it's not that the taste of the New Year has faded, but that the happiest thing during the New Year is not us, we are not like before, children are carefree, and the joy of eating everything and everything in the New Year no longer exists, so there is a feeling that the taste of the New Year has become lighter.

Is it because the customs have changed or the hearts of the people have changed, why is the New Year's flavor in the rural hometown getting weaker and weaker? For every Chinese person, the Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year. Whether you are a person who is a person who loves a sense of ritual or not, you must make some preparations for it when the year is approaching.

In particular, many rural people who work far away in the city have to start thinking about whether to go home for the New Year every time the end of the year comes. If you don't go back, the relatives and elders at home will talk about it, and you will be lonely when you are alone, but when you go back, you feel that it is becoming more and more boring to go back to your hometown for the New Year, so it is better to stay in the city for a few days, so as not to be tired of traveling.

Because the material life is becoming more and more abundant, the previous New Year's flavor was very strong because people could get good food during the New Year, and now they don't have to wait until the New Year to eat rich food, so I feel that the current New Year's flavor is getting weaker and weaker.

I am born in the 80s, I remember when I was a child, my family was poor, I didn't eat pork for half a year, I was pickles every day, and the clothes I wore were mended and mended, and I only looked forward to the arrival of the New Year, because there were a lot of delicious foods and new clothes to wear during the New Year. The family began to prepare for the New Year's goods at the beginning of the lunar month. Now that the standard of living has improved, don't you think about what you will eat tomorrow?

It's about what to eat tomorrow, the wardrobe is dazzling, and the transportation is very convenient.

It is forbidden to fire guns, and the traditional culture of our ancestors has been lost! The affection between people is as light as water, and the neighbors don't pay New Year's greetings! Friends are all online New Year's greetings. It's as light as water!

**The Spring Festival Gala is even more commercialized! National folklore has been lost!!

Human needs are getting less and less.

As a post-90s generation, I have personally experienced the process of changing the flavor of the New Year from strong to light. I think there are several reasons why the flavor of the year has changed from strong to light:

1. The acceleration of urbanization. The acceleration of urbanization has caused more and more people to leave their hometowns to work hard in the city, unable to return home for the New Year, resulting in the gradual dilution of traditional New Year customs.

2. The gradual loss of traditional culture. With the fast-paced pace of modern life, people are paying more and more attention to efficiency and practicality, traditional culture has been put on the back burner, and people's attention to traditional customs has also decreased.

3. The values of the younger generation have changed. With the rise of the younger generation, their perceptions and attitudes towards festivals have changed. They are more focused on freedom, individuality, and diversity, and they are beginning to show a cold and undivided attitude towards traditional customs.

4. Improvement of economic conditions. With the development of social economy, people's living standards have been significantly improved, and many people no longer need to rely on New Year's goods and Chinese New Year's Eve meals to meet their material needs, so they no longer pay as much attention to these traditional customs as before.

My experiences and feelings are:

When I was a child, the atmosphere of the New Year's was very strong, and every household was busy preparing New Year's goods, cleaning, pasting Spring Festival couplets, etc., which was very lively. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the change of people's lifestyles, more and more people choose to spend the New Year in the city, and the importance of traditional New Year customs has gradually decreased, which makes me feel a little regretful. Although I am also very busy and cannot participate in the whole process as I did when I was a child, I still try to go home to spend the New Year with my family as much as possible, and try to maintain some traditional habits to make me feel the warmth of home and the charm of traditional culture.

First of all, I think setting off firecrackers is a huge dross.

During the Chinese New Year, in addition to being prone to fire, death and injury, there is also noise pollution and air.

Pollution and a lot of debris, the air is full of bad smells, I really don't understand that those who think firecrackers are festive, they only find it noisy and smelly.

There is also an all-night mahjong game, winning a lot of money in the pocket and leaving, similar to gambling, deliberately losing the age of the tomb to make the family happy. I don't know what's good about playing mahjong, it's better to sit down and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. Qingwu.

1. There was no Valentine's Day during the previous Spring Festival.

In the past, when Western festivals had not yet invaded, we did not know what Valentine's Day was, everyone was very simple, and even many people taboo to mention the word lover. And now the Spring Festival and Western Valentine's Day are very close, and Western Valentine's Day has the tendency to overwhelm the Spring Festival.

2. In the previous Spring Festival, there were no various red envelope grabbing activities.

In the past, when there was no network and no smart phones, there were no these mobile phones WeChat to grab red envelopes, QQ to grab red envelopes, and the network to grab red envelopes from major merchants. This kind of activity does seem to be rich in the content of the Spring Festival, but it still feels like it doesn't have the flavor of the New Year before. Because in the past, people were together, happy and happy, everyone had no money, but they didn't worry much about money, but now they have money, but they will only interact with it just to grab red envelopes, and they always feel that there is not so much human touch, and the natural taste of the year is light.

3. In the past, the Spring Festival was the most prosperous time for everyone, but now it is the most embarrassing time.

In the past, everyone would buy something delicious and add a new piece of clothing during the Spring Festival, and I remember that when I was a child, every household would cook meat and swim in the Spring Festival, and fry all kinds of delicious fish and meatballs. It's as if all of a sudden everyone is well-off overnight. And now during the Spring Festival, everyone seems to be richer than before, but when it comes to the Spring Festival, they all feel like they have been stripped of their skin.

Prices are soaring, all kinds of gifts, and New Year's money for children are countless times that of before. Human affection is also indifferent, even children are like this, and now children also know how to love money, and there will be emotions if they give less. Therefore, the Spring Festival has become the most embarrassing time for many people.

Why is the smell of the New Year getting weaker and weaker? This proves that our life is getting better day by day, before we were not full of food, not warm clothes, nothing at all, this is the life before and after liberation, now our life has everything, there is no lack of food and clothing, so I feel that the New Year is not as good as before, which proves that our society is advancing, and life is getting better day by day.
