The last 100 years of China's family recreational activities changes

1900 to 2010, more than a hundred and eleven years, Chinese society has changed dramatically, family entertainment activities are also very different, allow me time to give you a detailed answer.

Now for the short version.

1900-1911, bookish families sang poetry. Ticket holders taught their children to sing, the poor taught their children to practice and learn to be slaves, and those who couldn't afford to sell lamp oil went to bed and made men as soon as they turned off the light.

One of the families, the revolutionaries, were twisting their own gunpowder and stealing leaflets to print, and the Manchu dignitaries were smoking opium at home.

After 1912, the government did not allow the lunar year, the whole family secretly over the old calendar year (the traditional Chinese New Year), on the National Day everyone to build flags. The old and the young cried poverty, went to the teahouse to listen to opera, and returned home to teach themselves palmistry,

20s, basically the same.

In the 1930s, young people got together to secretly read all kinds of revolutionary newspapers and pamphlets copied or oil-printed, and their elders taught them to smoke cigarettes in order to make them drunk and not to go to revolution. In the north, the bourgeoisie held balls and were very extravagant; the socialites were drunk and the poor could not afford to light lamps and oil, and they made people in the dark. The Red Army soldiers in the southern mountainous areas hold meetings, study and practice marksmanship, and there is no family entertainment.

......

......

The seventies was all about making people, and the entertainment was making people, blowing trumpets, singing revolutionary Peking Opera, and learning the Zhongjia Dance; the children were rolling hoops, taking pictures of foreign paintings, and stacking old packs (in the countryside, in fact, they were taking pictures of foreign paintings)

In the seventies, the whole life was collectivized, no one dared to talk about the family, the individual and so on, and there was no such word as recreational life, everything was collective, and everything was put up in the name of politics.

So, in the seventies, family life is also divided into two parts, one is clear, one is dark: clear is a family of a few people may also appear in the two camps, no matter the day and night are meeting, learning the word of the faithful dance, learning to fight hard to liberate three quarters of the world's starving and cold people, war martial arts fighting, criticizing other people or be criticized by other people, said the vice president is good and then comprehensively negate it, the vice president is good. The main thing is to live collectively.

The dark part - the secret life of family entertainment - secretly passing around copies of Tiananmen poetry notes and handwritten copies of The Second Handshake, etc.

And the single family entertainment is "making babies", batches of children fill this lively world, make the world more lively, but the various couples due to work, official duties or exile caused the movement of making babies is also often stopped, but no formal cohabitation is no more than the 1990s, "reform and opening up". "Reform and opening up" is even less - it's fine to say that some people have bad style, or that they love life at all times and take things as they come, but on second thought, it's the latter assessment that is more humane and fair.

Women beat sweaters, men beat children.

The eighties, we read the "scar literature", the village gathered to have a TV home to watch "Dream of Red Mansions", watch "Journey to the West", "Shanghai Tang" ...... love of reading began to read "Shanxi Folk Literature", "Parents must be read", collect ancient coins, And then began the philatelic fever. All people want to be poets, everyone reads and writes poems at home, no matter eating or sleeping, all talk about literary topics. Rural women continue to beat their sweaters and knit insoles fever.

In the nineties, adults played mahjong and watched TV, and rich people began to sing karaoke at home, and those who couldn't afford the equipment went to sing in the concert halls, or sang on a TV in the open street during the summer vacation, and a group of idlers watched and applauded, or didn't applaud. A bit of thinking about the youth at home at night to read "Reader", "Youth Digest", "Liaoning Youth" and so on. The more mischievous, slipped into the street to play billiards, paddle roller skating, playing video games.

In the first decade of the 21st century, the Internet became popular, parents and children grabbed computers to play games, and old ladies would go online to steal vegetables -- no, pick vegetables! Fighting the landlord, many people night and day, heaven and earth to live is. The whole nation reflects on why China is like this now. Cursing the price of housing, discuss the focus of the news, click on the posting, the whole population active or passive click under the fire of a new thing.

Give me time to elaborate. Don't rush!
