What do you think of the Spring Festival?

According to a folk survey, the traditional folk culture of the Spring Festival is not well known to modern people. Many people worry that the Spring Festival activities of modern people tend to be simple and practical, which will lead to the loss of traditional folk culture.

Looking for the lost flavor of the year

The so-called weak taste of the year is actually relative. Nowadays, every New Year, people can't help but "switch time and space" in front of them, so the old strong hope of "eating laba rice and letting the new year come" and the countdown atmosphere of "twenty-three sacrificial stoves, twenty-four cleaning days, twenty-five pasting windows and twenty-six steamed buns" are gone. With the improvement of people's overall living standards, the heart that used to be dedicated to the New Year Festival is gone, and the strong flavor of the year naturally loses its due "material foundation".

In the past, the so-called taste of the year was mainly reflected in the thick atmosphere of visiting relatives and friends everywhere. Now, hanging up a phone and sending a text message can "get" all the family expressions. The newly popular "urban civilization" element is not only difficult to create a cultural atmosphere for the old year and the New Year, but also difficult to undertake the important task of inheriting the traditional New Year culture.

The taste of the year is like a solidified mountain custom, like a flowing river.

Family expectations, crowded roads, crowds in shopping centers, busy restaurants ... what is the taste of the year?

The Spring Festival is the most important folk festival of the Chinese nation, which contains many spiritual meanings: Feng Jicai, a folklore expert on reunion, celebration, peace and security, said that critics only talked about the decline of some traditional folk customs, mistook the taste of old customs and the appearance of the New Year for the core of the New Year, and confused the interpretation form of the Spring Festival symbols with the humanistic connotation of the Spring Festival symbols.

Perhaps, this understanding is closer to the truth: as the humanistic connotation of the Spring Festival, the taste of the year is like a frozen mountain, not moved by vicissitudes; As a decoration for the Spring Festival, the annual customs are like a flowing river, moving with the stars, throwing out the old and bringing in the new; Their internal connection is that the river flows around the mountain. It's not that the taste of the year is fading, but that the customs of the year are changing.
