    I am a post-90s generation, in that era, people's living standards are generally low, my family is an authentic rural person, the family can not see any snacks except for some normal food all year round, occasionally sell things on the street, my parents will bring me a little snacks, such as Tang monk meat, as well as watermelon-shaped bubble gum, hawthorn made of very small particles, we call it "mouse", and a kind of powdered sugar in a long thin tube, these small snacks can only be eaten when parents go to the street to sell goods. Therefore, I am very much looking forward to the New Year, the New Year will prepare a lot of delicious food at home, usually reluctant to eat candy, the New Year will buy a little, when I was a child has been eating the golden monkey. Melon seeds, peanuts, are taken out to sell, usually eaten are not sold, those bitter, bad, you can eat very full melon seeds, peanuts after the New Year.

    The most what I look forward to is the syrup boiled out of the sweet potato at home (our family calls it a potato), the syrup is used to cut sugar, similar to cutting cake, it will be sprinkled with melon seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds and the like, every time my parents use the potato to boil syrup before the New Year, I will stay in front of the pot every inch, I can't forget the sugar fragrance until now, as soon as the sugar comes out of the pot, I can't wait to use chopsticks to roll the syrup to eat, the original sweetness can no longer be bought. At that time, for children, the indispensable thing for the New Year was to buy a new set of clothes, new shoes, girls, and a pair of hair flowers. The following kind of head flower can still be seen at rural gatherings, but few people will buy this kind of head flower anymore, and now there are too many beautiful and generous headbands, hairpins, and rubber bands.

    This headflower is an indelible part of my memory.

    When I was a child, what I looked forward to the most was the New Year! New clothes, New Year's money is definitely what our children are looking forward to the most, but there are two other things that I like to do very much during the New Year, one is to buy all kinds of fireworks, and the other is to buy stationery! Our New Year begins on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the afternoon of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family will be replaced with new couplets!

    In the evening, everyone would go to grandma's house to make dumplings and eat dumplings. After dinner, at eight o'clock, a firecracker will be set off, and the fathers will start their most relaxing leisure moment of the year, playing mahjong! Grandparents took our children to watch the Spring Festival Gala, at that time the parents were still young, mahjong always opened all night, for many years, our children fell asleep with the Spring Festival Gala, and the next morning when we got up, we found that the fathers were still fighting!

    In the sound of mahjong, we ushered in the first day of the new year, this day, no matter what, we will not lie in bed, quickly get up and freshen up and change into new clothes, and then go to kowtow to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, grandparents have a good New Year, parents have a good New Year, uncles and aunts have a good New Year, just like that, one-on-one worship, and then get their own New Year's money! After getting the New Year's money, my cousin and I would meet to go to the street, first to buy our favorite firecrackers, I remember when I was a child, there was a kind of cannon called throwing cannons, and when I threw it on the ground with force, the cannon would be very loud; There is also a cannon called the Sky Monkey, which will fly into the sky and explode! Every time my cousin and I had a lot of fun, sometimes we would burn a hole in our new clothes because of the fireworks, and then we would be nervous and uneasy, and always try to hide the hole!

    Next, my cousin and I will go to the stationery store, because finally have the money to buy their favorite stationery, usually feel expensive reluctant to buy mechanical pencils, at that time will not hesitate to enter the pocket, when I was a child, I also like to collect all kinds of erasers, at that time with the New Year's money will definitely buy and buy, and then the heart will be particularly satisfied! Looking back now, I was really happy and satisfied when I was a child.

    When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year the most, and this wish can be regarded as the most colorful embellishment in the course of a carefree life. In the past, Laba was the year, and there were sparse firecrackers in the villages near and far, and the small whip was the favorite of our boys, and those who had no money could exchange an egg for a hanging. The girls are quiet and young, and they add brightly colored paper flowers to their braids, and they have to use scarves to cover them for fear of losing them.

    At this time, the adults will tell them again and again, don't talk casually, for fear of angering the immortals and bringing unnecessary punishment in the new year. As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, killing a home-raised chicken, the adults go to the market to buy a piece of meat, and by the way, invite the door painting couplet to the house, and the goods are basically complete very simply. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family puts on the new clothes pressed at the bottom of the box, the children chase and play in the village, the adults post the door to draw couplets, the dumplings are tired of playing and have been filled into the bowl, open the belly to eat, it is rare to eat delicious dumplings in a year.

    There was no television, no fireworks, just the sound of firecrackers beating on eardrums like raindrops. The first day of the Lunar New Year is the happiest for the children, Tianma Ma Liang knocked on the door to go to the New Year's greetings, the adults put the brand-new two corners that have been prepared, the five corners of the banknotes to us to send the New Year's money, the small pockets after the New Year are also bulging. The next move of relatives is a matter for adults, and the boys in the village exchange the New Year's money for small whips in small shops, and then disassemble them and blow them up individually, tossing until the beginning of the new year, and this Spring Festival can be regarded as a successful end.

    When I was a child, the Spring Festival was not as colorful as the modern Spring Festival, but it was an unforgettable paradise in my memory, even though I knew that it was impossible to go back to the past.

    I am a native of the countryside. When I was a child, I counted the days on my fingers, looking forward to the New Year. I remember that I started counting when I was still 60 days old, and I drew a vertical painting on the wall every day that passed.

    Waiting for the New Year with hope. On Chinese New Year's Eve, families began to post couplets together and clean up. There are a lot of toys to play with at night, and you can show off with a toy gun.

    On the day of the Chinese New Year, of course, you will wear new clothes and greet your parents and elders in the family, and you will receive a lot of property! Haha, groups of three or five went to the square to watch performances, buy toy guns together, and light artillery battles together. Be as happy as you are.

    At noon, a large meal is also eaten. So when I was a child, I was full of anticipation for the New Year.

    When I was a child, there was a lot of fun for the New Year, and at that time, the most anticipated thing every year was the New Year, and now, we have grown up and our living conditions are better, and these things that I am most looking forward to when I am a child can be bought at any time. The deepest impression is the New Year, the family will buy us some fireworks, the kind of slender and long, can be held in the hand of the fireworks, Chinese New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock in the evening on time fireworks, fireworks may be when we were children we are most looking forward to an activity project, although now such fireworks can also be bought, the New Year everyone will also set off firecrackers and fireworks, but always feel a little less. Many people around me are complaining, especially people in their thirties and forties, who complain the most, when can the Spring Festival be canceled, but the New Year, it is okay to have a holiday, because they have the old and the young, and they need to spend money to see the old and the young, and the children and old people of the seven aunts and eight aunts usually give thousands of dollars to the New Year's money or something (this is already according to my family's standards, because my family basically spends about 4000 on the New Year's money and the old people every year, Some distant relatives may only go to a New Year's visit once in a few years, and some parents specialize in giving their children a bank card to deposit New Year's money, and some have saved more than 100,000 yuan), in addition to these, one or two months before the New Year, they will start to prepare for the New Year, which is a large amount of consumption, the annual leave time is short, and they have to go around to pay New Year's greetings, and there is very little time to rest at home.

    Cooking dumplings, setting off firecrackers, watching the Spring Festival Gala, playing mahjong, our children get up in the morning of the first day of the new year to go from house to house to press the New Year's money, and when they come back, they are stupid, and they are all confiscated.

    When I was a child, I really loved the New Year, and I began to look forward to it during the winter vacation, because only in the countryside in the past could I have good things to eat and good clothes to wear during the New Year. As a girl, there is nothing more beautiful than wearing a new dress for the New Year, and I remember that many people praised me for being beautiful, saying that I was like a little girl in the city, haha. Usually close to the beginning of the New Year, to buy New Year's goods, buy clothes, my father loves us very much, always buy more, because at that time there was no refrigerator, many times the delicious food was wasted.

    I get up in the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to make dumplings, fried vegetables, steamed steamed buns, boil meat, and make all kinds of delicious food, but now I can't eat the taste I had when I was a child, mainly because I don't have that feeling anymore. In the evening, the family gathers together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is usually ten dishes. After eating, the fire began to be baked, firecrackers were set off, and the family circled around the bonfire, roasted and roasted, and there was no illness in the whole body.

    After that, the whole family waits for the New Year's bell to ring and welcome the new year. Now that the Chinese New Year is no longer happy, happy and looking forward to next year.

    When I was a child, I was in the countryside for the Chinese New Year, and I missed the stove placed in the lobby of my home, around which a circle of green onions, sweet potatoes, peanuts, sugar cane, apples, pears, etc. would be roasted and eaten, and I would find carrots and radishes hoarded in the snow; Outside the door of the house, the fire is lit with withered grass and corn stalks, and the neighbors all come to roast and play, collect all kinds of withered grass and light it by themselves, and observe which one burns faster; and mates to fire; Watching TV with the elders in the family, more than a dozen people in the family watched the Spring Festival Gala around the TV, which was wonderful.

    I think the happiest thing about the Chinese New Year when I was a child was to give out red envelopes, because after sending red envelopes, you can buy delicious and fun food, and you can also wear new clothes.

    I'm '01 and I'm a foodie. When I was a child, spicy noodles were very popular, one yuan and three packs at the school gate, and the names of the spicy noodles I still remember are (from memory) Green Arrow, Green Rainforest, Come to a Bucket, Nine Steamed Buns, Love Apartment, Spicy Turning, Turning the Sky Baby, Stinky Ganzi, etc.

    The second is the snacks on the stalls set up at the school gate: the most impressive thing is Wu Dalang's baked cakes, at that time, it only cost two yuan a piece, and add ham sausage or egg and spice to add another money.

    Finally, the Malatang shop and milk tea shop near the school are doing very good business. At that time, milk tea was relatively cheap, and the cheapest was 1 yuan for 1 cup, and I often went to buy it. Malatang is also selling very well, after all, it is fragrant and spicy and most in line with the appetite of children.

    The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country and the most important day of the year. It is not only a day for us Chinese to celebrate together, but also a day for family reunion. On the day of the New Year, the lights are bright, the family is reunited, and there is laughter.

    When I was a child, I was very particular about celebrating the New Year, and there were many old rules and old rules. Legend has it that the New Year beast is afraid of red and afraid of sound, so people will post Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums to drive away the New Year beast, which has become a custom to this day. Spring Festival generally refers to Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, but in the traditional sense of folklore, people start to prepare New Year's goods at the 23rd house of the lunar month, sacrifice stoves, clean up, paste couplets, paste blessing characters, paste door gods, hang lanterns, and hang lanterns until Chinese New Year's Eve.

    New Year's Eve when you are a child: (1) Before the New Year when you are a child, you must clean up and welcome the New Year. At that time, there was no water heater at home, so I filled a large bathtub with hot water and sat in it while playing and washing.

    2) You have to wear new clothes for the New Year, buy new clothes in advance, and celebrate the New Year with your fingers broken every day, so that you can wear the new clothes you bought. (3) New Year's greetings should be made on the ground, the elderly with the highest seniority in the family should accept the whole family to kneel down for New Year's greetings, and the children should give their parents red envelopes, and they should also give the children New Year's money. (4) Do not sweep the floor, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the elderly at home are not allowed to sweep the floor, saying that it will sweep away good luck and attract bad luck.

    5) Sacrifice sweep, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family will go to the grave to pay New Year's greetings, with firecrackers and paper money. (6) Firecrackers are set off at 12 o'clock, Chinese New Year's Eve is also called the New Year's Eve, and firecrackers are set off on time until 12 o'clock, when in order to pass the time, the elders of the family get together to play mahjong and poker, the house is lively, and everyone is very spiritual.

    However, with the development of society, the New Year has also changed its taste, and young people are no longer limited to keeping the New Year, eating reunion dinners, pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, these traditional practices, they have their own ideas for the New Year, but these ideas are really unacceptable to the older generation.

    Chinese New Year now: (1) Now you can take a bath anytime and anywhere, and you will not go out of your way to wash it before the New Year. (2) Now that technology is so developed, you can buy new clothes on your mobile phone anytime and anywhere, and you won't be so looking forward to wearing new clothes for the New Year.

    3) Now they are all greeting the New Year in their mobile phones and sending red envelopes. (4) Now I don't care so much about Lao Li'er, the floor will be cleaned up when it is dirty, and you don't have to wait until the next day to sweep the floor. (5) You don't need the whole family to go together, only adults can go.

    6) Shou New Year is no longer a family playing mahjong and poker together, they are all playing with their mobile phones and grabbing red envelopes in the group to pass the time.

    The above is the difference between the New Year when I was a child and the New Year now.
