What is the ultimate reason why China gradually lost its flavor?

China Year has gradually lost its flavor. The first reason is the arrangement of the Spring Festival holiday.

The current Spring Festival holiday is from the afternoon of New Year's Eve to the eighth day of the first month.

Going to work on New Year's Eve is often a heavy workload. After work, people are exhausted, and even chatting is difficult. They just want to have a good sleep. Who will have a family reunion dinner, watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat happily with their families as before?

Some people may not be able to go home and reunite with their families because they only have a holiday that day. As the saying goes? Think twice about your family during the holiday season? For them, it may be long and painful, and naturally it loses its flavor.

Reason two? Except firecrackers a year? It no longer exists, and the New Year's Eve dinner is not eaten at home.

For traditional China people, New Year's Eve has two bright spots, one is New Year's Eve, and the other is fireworks.

Now, because of environmental problems, fireworks are forbidden in urban areas, there are no red firecrackers on the streets, and the strong smell of gunpowder is lost in the air, so the annual taste is reduced.

Let's talk about New Year's Eve first. In the past, adults began to prepare new year's tea and new year's meal from the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Since then, the flavor of the year has gradually become stronger. But now the New Year's Eve dinner is just a phone call. Find a hotel to order a table of rice, and the family will go home after eating in less than two hours.

It used to take more than ten days to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, but now it only takes two hours.

In fact, it's not that I don't want to make New Year's Eve dinner, but that the pace of life is so fast now that people don't have time to stop and enjoy the fun of preparing tea and rice for New Year's Eve dinner.

Third, those traditional manners have also been lost.

When I was a child, I would toast my grandparents and my parents, or kneel and kowtow, and then they would give me red envelopes.

The custom of toasting and kowtowing to elders is said to be a bad habit, and fewer and fewer people are willing to do so.

In the past, families would sit together and watch vigils and play cards.

Now I will go back to my room after dinner, preferring to talk to the cold mobile phone rather than to talk to the living people in the room.

Fourth, children's New Year's Eve happiness no longer exists, and 2008 lost its flavor.

When I was a child, the happiest thing about Chinese New Year was that I could eat a lot of delicious food and play with my friends. My parents wouldn't force me to do my homework in those days.

Now, children don't expect to eat delicious food during the Spring Festival, because they can eat anything they like.

Today's children dare not expect to play as much as they want without doing homework during the New Year, because they know that extracurricular classes will not stop because others are still working hard.

I think of Mu Xin's Once upon a time was slow, because everything was slow in the past, so life is more interesting, and 2008 also has its unique flavor.
