What customs have remained unchanged in China for thousands of years?

Many customs in China have lasted for a long time, just like the traditional festivals of all ethnic groups have basically been preserved. For example, the Spring Festival of the Han people can be said to be the most important festival for the Han people. Now, not only Han people celebrate the Spring Festival, but also China people in Southeast Asia and some other ethnic groups in China will celebrate it. After all, the Spring Festival symbolizes the beginning of a new year. On this day, we will put up Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, have a reunion dinner and say auspicious words, hoping that the new year will be smooth and prosperous. Besides the Spring Festival, there are other traditional festivals, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, where people eat zongzi and race dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival. These traditional festivals have been circulating for a long time and have been preserved until now, but they have not been specifically investigated. I wonder if these traditional festivals have reached the Millennium.

There is another custom that we certainly don't realize. We experience it every day, and that is "using"? Chopsticks? . We eat noodles and peanuts with chopsticks every day. Of course, besides chopsticks, Koreans and Japanese also use chopsticks. However, due to historical reasons, the use of chopsticks is still an oriental feature, which is a feature of China people. For westerners, it is still very difficult to learn to use chopsticks, especially to hold peanuts with chopsticks.

Respecting the old and caring for the young is also a long-standing concept of China people. We study in middle school? Old me and old man, young me and young man? I don't know where this sentence came from, it came from Mencius in the Warring States period. The concept of respecting the old and loving the young really goes back to ancient times.

There are many habits and customs that have been passed down to this day. For example, many habits in weddings, funerals and weddings have been circulating since ancient times, and so have Chinese characters. Although simplified, it has been circulating since ancient times. To treat tradition, we should take its essence, discard its dross, keep pace with the times and carry forward fine traditions. Only in this way can we enhance national self-confidence, strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and strive for our own bright future.
