Is kowtowing a bad habit or following tradition?

Chinese New Year is a national celebration, and every place has its own folk customs. In many families, especially in rural areas, kowtowing to elders has caused many war at home. In the past, young people had to kowtow to their elders to show respect, but now with the development of the times, many rules have changed and kowtowing has become a thing of the past. Now the custom of kowtowing continues in some places, which many young people can't understand and accept.

Many city daughters-in-law and rural husbands who go back to the countryside for the Spring Festival fall out and kowtow, which has become an indispensable topic every year, and has also caused conflicts between the old and the young.

Old people think it is necessary for the younger generation to kowtow to their elders during the Chinese New Year. Not kowtowing is disrespectful to the elders. The younger generation thinks that kowtowing is a bad habit and a feudal remnant, and this unwritten rule should be broken.
