The reason why traditional festivals are becoming more and more indifferent.

The excitement of the festival comes from the reunion of relatives, and the warmth of the festival comes from the communication between relatives. Whether it is Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival, its connotation is nothing more than the word "reunion". There are no more than a dozen or even dozens of people in China now. In some places, there are still problems of fewer children and empty nests. Every Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, some children are separated from their parents by thousands of miles and cannot be reunited. Although some children can go back to their parents, they often come and go in a hurry. After eating, they wiped their mouths and went their separate ways. There are fewer parties, no communication, and the taste of festivals is weak.

Some young people equate holidays with shopping. Now that people's living standards have improved and their demand for materials has increased, it is understandable to buy something on holidays. However, when we are thinking about "buying while buying" in all festivals and tirelessly wandering in front of the window counters of shopping malls, family and friendship may be forgotten in the shopping spree. And affection and friendship are the best "condiments" for festivals. Without "condiments", the flavor of festivals will naturally fade. As the song goes, "Old people don't want their children to make much contribution to their families, and it is not easy for them to live a round and round life." The happiness of sitting down and chatting between relatives is irreplaceable by cold goods.
