Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China. Why is the taste of the year getting weaker and weaker?

Why China's "Nian" flavor is getting weaker and weaker. The reason is probably nothing more than that: the traditional family ethics is too petty, and it is increasingly unable to meet people's desire for social life and collective celebrations. In traditional festivals, who can worship besides ancestors? Besides CCTV's Spring Festival Evening, what other programs are there to choose from? How many people care about the poor except drinking good wine and eating enough behind closed doors? The western world accepts and congratulates China for the Spring Festival, but we lack enough minds to accept and publicize foreign civilizations. ?

Therefore, China people celebrate foreign festivals for formality and excitement. Of course, more people in China don't celebrate foreign festivals, and they don't have much enthusiasm for traditional festivals. This is the expression of "sorrow is greater than death in the heart". The game color of festivals is not available in China; The joyful color of festivals can't be found in China; The spirit of the festival is not shared by China.

This is the ultimate reason why traditional festivals in China will inevitably die out. In the case that the material life of the rich and middle class in society is already quite rich, these people have no reason to care about society because of mental fatigue and narrow vision. In this way, the publicity of festivals will gradually disappear.

China people only have "practical rationality", although there are Confucian ethics, but the psychology of gratitude has not really been cultivated, because we don't know who to thank. The reason is that China people's consciousness of "life power" is almost zero, while their consciousness of "political power" has been advocated to infinity.

At the same time, China people have no spiritual beliefs, so we have never felt remorse in our hearts. Without the consciousness of repentance, people will take care of each other, and there is no love between people. We have no social care, no ethical care and no ultimate care. Therefore, there are only utilitarian calculations in festivals in China.

This is very obvious in rural areas. On the surface, everyone is busy giving gifts, but parents will also tell their children who are good and who are bad. Therefore, even if I give gifts to some people, I curse them in my heart. This style, subconsciously, is the legacy of the ancient pursuit of "New Year". There is only one way to make China's traditional festivals better, and that is, we must be culturally tolerant and make use of them.

Only by being open enough can we "revive" the lingering tradition. However, this "resurrected tradition" will no longer become the mainstream and dominate our spiritual life. Festivals will become people's free choice and their own needs. The reason why China's "Nian" flavor is getting weaker and weaker is that our spiritual pursuit is getting higher and higher. We have been bound by tradition for too long and need to embrace the outside world as soon as possible.
