Why was Chinese New Year so flavorful when I was a child, but now it's not at all?

With the continuous development of society, the traditional Chinese New Year has not evolved with it, which makes many people feel that New Year is meaningless.

Why does the Spring Festival have no flavor at all?

What's more worth thinking about is that in the past, in the 1970s, everyone had good neighborly relations. Every year at Chinese New Year, my grandmother would make several trays of wontons, cook them and distribute them to the good neighbors in the building. As a result, the neighbors gave my grandmother nice things too. Neighbors were like family. But nowadays, many neighborhoods have two homes on one staircase, and no one knows who lives across the street. So in big cities, relatives are estranged, neighbors are estranged, and fewer people pay their respects to each other.

In addition, in the past, when migrant workers went out to work, they only went home once every few years. Occasionally, some people went back to visit their relatives before the Spring Festival. They thought it was New Year's Day, so we could talk about the past. Now, the new generation of migrant workers want to wear it. They are in no hurry to go back home for the Spring Festival. Whenever they are free, they come back to visit their parents. Several times a year, some even go to a nearby county to buy a house. This makes it possible for people who were supposed to see them during the Spring Festival to see them often.

In the past, people used to watch the Spring Festival Gala every New Year's Eve. Now not many people watch the Spring Festival Gala from beginning to end. Because the Internet is very developed, the excellent clips of the Spring Festival Gala can be selected once and watched once, and the programs with average response are ignored. Modern people pay more attention to saving time. In addition, all local TV stations have their own Spring Festival Gala, which has a certain diversion effect on the centralized Spring Festival Gala. Obviously, compared with the past, the status of the Spring Festival gala has declined.

How can a person live a happy life? It's to eat well, dress well, and play when you want to. Now these things can be done on a regular basis. On the contrary, many people think of the Spring Festival as a time to go out and travel or rest at home to adjust their bodies so that they can continue with a fresh start in the new year. To be honest, in big cities, Chinese New Year is not a good time. Many stores are closed, so it's not as busy as usual. As a result, the taste of Chinese New Year is not real at all in big cities, while in the countryside, there is still some taste of Chinese New Year, but it is much weaker than in the past.
