In your memory, what best represents the taste of the year?

You can't live without a sense of ceremony, especially during the Spring Festival. In my memory, the following ten things can best represent the taste of that year.

1, do new year's goods

When I was a child, every five or six days before the Spring Festival, my family would be busy buying new year's goods. One harvest was a lot of meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and cakes, enough for the whole Spring Festival. Nowadays, people don't go to the supermarket to buy some new year's goods until one or two days before the Spring Festival. There are not many, enough for three or four days, and then buy them after eating.

This change is probably because people's living conditions are better now, they don't worry about food and clothing, there are many supermarkets and convenient transportation.

Step 2 set off firecrackers

In my memory, setting off firecrackers is the most interesting thing, whether it's by myself or watching others. There are many kinds of firecrackers, such as directly lit firecrackers, smashed firecrackers, scratched firecrackers, field mice and fireworks, especially fireworks, which impressed me the most. With a chirp, beautiful flowers bloom in the night sky, dazzling.

Nowadays, in order to protect the environment, people in many places have rarely set off firecrackers.

Step 3 write Spring Festival couplets

Grandpa loves to write Spring Festival couplets. His brush dipped in thick ink swam on crimson paper. A pair of agile Spring Festival couplets will be finished soon. Between the lines, it not only expresses the wishes for festivals and yearning for a better life, but also shows the charm of China traditional culture.

Few people can write calligraphy now, let alone write Spring Festival couplets.

Step 4 paste new year pictures

On New Year's Eve, after breakfast, the most enjoyable thing is to put up New Year pictures. Seeing "Qin" and "Weichi Gong" standing at the door with swords in their hands, I don't know how happy I am. Now every household still retains the custom of pasting New Year pictures, and the contents of New Year pictures are becoming more and more varied, but I just feel that I can't find the excitement and happiness when I used to paste New Year pictures. This is probably one of the growing pains.

Step 5 hang lanterns

At that time, red lanterns made by my mother would be hung in the yard, which was simple but warm. Now, if you want to see red lanterns, you can only go to supermarkets, tourist attractions or both sides of the street. The red lanterns hung in these places are well-made and beautiful in style, but in my eyes, they are far from simple and ugly as I remember.

6. New Year's Eve dinner

Once upon a time, a family of three generations sat around the dining table, and a table full of delicious food was the most unforgettable New Year's Eve. At present, most families still have the custom of eating New Year's Eve at home, but it is difficult for families to get together. There are also some families who choose to go to restaurants for New Year's Eve dinner. Although it saves time and effort, they always feel as if something is missing.

7. Watch the Spring Festival Gala

Once upon a time, watching the Spring Festival Gala was a must-have program for every family in China on New Year's Eve. The family sat around the TV, chewing melon seeds, and they were happy.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala now is just one of many options, which is dispensable. It makes people feel that the Spring Festival Evening is getting uglier and uglier. First, people's appreciation level is constantly improving. Second, with the development of science and technology, there are more and more entertainment projects in the New Year. You can play cards with friends and relatives, play games in your room, swipe your mobile phone to grab red envelopes, go to the cinema to watch movies, and so on. Treat the Spring Festival Gala like a normal TV program. Turn on the replay the next day and watch it if you feel good.

8, lucky money

When it comes to lucky money, there is always a trace of sadness, because it is past the age of asking parents or elders for lucky money. Sometimes I have to get Xiong Haizi lucky money from relatives. Even young parents, many people no longer pay attention to giving their children lucky money, because children usually have a lot of pocket money and will not deliberately give it during the Spring Festival. On the contrary, the older generation still regards giving lucky money to their grandchildren as a "key project" for the New Year.

9. Visit the temple fair

Temple Fair is a traditional custom for China people to celebrate the Spring Festival, and it is also one of the most interesting places. Once upon a time, there were many people visiting temple fairs, but people didn't feel crowded, let alone tired, but enjoyed visiting one house after another.

Now the attraction of visiting temple fairs is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer temple fairs. Most of them are elderly people or parents with children. During the Chinese New Year, they occasionally visit temple fairs, and generally get tired without going halfway. In fact, where I am tired, I just lack interest.

10, string relatives

I once thought about a question: Why do people have those relatives? If you don't meet each other at ordinary times, you may not be able to help much if you have difficulties. Visit each other once a year during the Spring Festival. In people's lives, the people they meet most are family, friends and colleagues, but they have to visit relatives and friends during the important Spring Festival.

No, before the Spring Festival, many people have racked their brains to think about how to face the "triple blow of the soul" of their loved ones: how much is the salary? Did you buy a house? Did you find someone? In order to avoid a triple blow, many young people have come up with a coup: not to visit relatives.

The year of the rabbit has arrived, and my mood is infinitely beautiful; Happiness knocks at the door and happiness surrounds you; Luck is with you, and happiness smiles at you; Hug with health, may you be healthy; I wish you a happy life and all the best in the new year!
