Why is the atmosphere of New Year's Eve getting lighter and lighter?

One, in the past for most families, usually eat relatively simple, only a few days of the year will be a few days to play the teeth, to the family to eat a good, and the New Year is one of the most important days of the year, so, no matter how hard it is to get by in the day, the New Year's Eve dinner is still very important. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are to be prepared as much as possible, especially fish, because there is a "New Year's Eve" meaning in it, many places, regardless of how the living conditions, will try to do everything possible also want to eat a fish at New Year's Eve, in addition, such as ham, bacon and so on, but basically only in the New Year's Eve will be in the door. So in the past, people still looked forward to eating on New Year's Eve. And now with the improvement of productivity, materials have been greatly enriched, people's living standards are also improving, all year round in the supermarket can buy almost all the things that used to be eaten only on New Year's Day. Basically, there is not much difference between what you normally eat now and what you eat on New Year's Eve. With the exception of a few foods - like the spring rolls we have here for Chinese New Year, which can't be said to taste that great, but are still quite popular because they're available almost exclusively for Chinese New Year, though it seems to have a bit more symbolic significance now-. We no longer have high expectations for what we eat on New Year's Eve, so the enthusiasm for it has waned

Secondly, let's look at what we wear. In the past, for most families, can wear new clothes in the New Year is also a very happy thing, Lu Xun's novel "more than three or five buckets", those who increased production but did not increase the income of the peasants, what to say also want to pull two pieces of cloth to do the new clothes also explains this problem. Although Xi'er's father in "The White-haired Girl" could not afford to buy Xi'er a new coat, he did pull a red headband and gave it to Xi'er. It can be seen that wearing new clothes was also an important part of the New Year's Eve in the past. Nowadays, at least in some big cities, the custom of wearing new clothes on New Year's Eve is rarely practiced anymore. The reason for this is that because of the development of productive forces and the improvement of people's living standards, wearing new clothes is no longer a thing that people look forward to. Plus now for many people for the first role of clothing, has changed from warmth to show personality, fashion is their pursuit, and for most of our country, the Spring Festival season winter clothes have worn the old, the trend has passed, and the spring clothes have not yet to wear the time, fashionable people are not interested in going to the Spring Festival to add clothes. Although this is still the prime season for clothing companies, sales are still good, but for many people, the meaning has become different. So the layer has faded.

The journey of life, the mountains are high and the sea is wide, the end of the world is far away; and small we are always easy to get lost, so much so that we make the wrong choice, but no matter what the error, as long as the courage to undertake and correct, it's not too bad. Buddhist saying: the sea of bitterness, turn back is the shore." No matter how far we go and how many mistakes we make, as long as we are willing to turn back, there is always a better way out.

People are not sages, who can not fault; Moreover, make mistakes, is a long life, a person's whole life is essential; life needs to make mistakes, because there are mistakes, will be introspection, self-awakening, self-understanding; so that we can better treat life. Do not because of a momentary error and doubt their own ability, also do not because of a momentary error to deny the life of others, people live a lifetime, and not because of a mistake can change. Don't be easily discouraged and compromise, because all the mistakes today are indispensable tests in life and for that more wonderful tomorrow.

People are born in the world, always half good and half bad, right and wrong intersect; some things, do not have to do the wrong chagrin, some road, go wrong do not have to panic. Life is a long journey, there will always be some ups and downs on the road, there will always be some wrong regret. We should be grateful, because in the journey forward, every error, is another growth in life, and we only continue to explore and make mistakes, in order to find their own correct direction.
