Reflections on traditional festivals

Today I want to talk about why traditional festivals are becoming more and more boring. What is lacking in China today? Now young people have a holiday, and they basically eat and buy in buy buy. As for why we celebrate this festival and what it means, everyone is basically not interested.

The main reason for personal thinking is that modern fast-paced life keeps everyone busy struggling, making money, buying a house and getting married. I don't have time to stop and think quietly. In this busy life, what have I lost and what is my deep pursuit? Modern China people have basically lost the ability to be alone.

In Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and other civilized areas, you will find old people there, often sitting alone on park benches, quietly reading such heavy books. As for the old people in China, they basically get together to dance in square dance, or get together to play mahjong, bridge and young people rushing to work in the subway. Basically, their heads are buried, and nine out of ten are looking at their mobile phones. I don't mean any praise or criticism here. Personally, I go to work by subway, and I basically look at my mobile phone.

Another important reason is that China used to be a traditional agricultural society.

From spring planting to autumn harvest, our ancestors went through the whole process. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, when we watched the crops planted with our own sweat being harvested, the whole family sat together, eating the fruits and vegetables harvested in the field, eating the meals and home-cooked dishes cooked by our mothers and grandmothers. Of course, there is an atmosphere of family reunion and harmony.

Nowadays, young people, including myself, have never been in the fields since childhood (the farmland at home has long since disappeared), and some young people living in big cities have never even seen rice. What does a wheat seedling look like? Not to mention feeling the joy and happiness of harvest. Without this feeling, of course, after this festival, you will not feel the beauty of this festival.

Now because of the fast-paced life, everyone is trying to make money and struggle. I can't help but want to go home and have a reunion Mid-Autumn Festival with my parents. Like me, I also want to go home and reunite with my family, eat my mother's cooking, and make jiaozi and stir-fry hemp strips with my father. But the company didn't have a holiday, so I had to ask for leave when I went home. The company was too busy to invite me.

Just like why I personally like Hanfu, as long as I have time and energy, I will try my best to promote Hanfu and popularize traditional culture. Because today's people, the material life is indeed quite rich, after people meet the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation. We will yearn for and pursue a more exquisite life, and the Chinese cultural genes flowing in our blood will surely wake up. It's just that we are the first to wake up. We saw more beautiful scenery and found the home of national culture.

We want to express what we see, feel, use language or external clothes and manners. Communicate with more people. I think, like me, in order to revive Hanfu, the vast number of comrades in Chinese studies are in the same mood.
