How to see the inheritance and innovation of the Spring Festival customs?

The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals of the Chinese nation, the people of all dynasties have attached great importance to a good Spring Festival, so with the change of the times has also given rise to a lot of Spring Festival folklore. But with the continuous development of people's understanding of the natural world, with the continuous progress of science and technology, some folklore has been out of step with the times. Chinese New Year folklore should be inherited, rejected and innovated in the line and development.

Outdated feudal folklore should be abandoned.

First of all, we must abandon the old rule that "married daughters can not go back to their families to celebrate the New Year, cleaning". Now after 80 are only children, have started a family, if the daughter is not allowed to go back to her mother's home for New Year's Eve, cleaning, then in the future to raise the daughter's family will only be double old man at home alone in New Year's Eve, after the death of no descendants to clean up.

The second is to abandon the old custom of not sweeping the floor in the first month of the year (sweeping away the wealth), not cutting the hair ("shaving the head in the first month of the year, the death of uncle"), not washing the hair (washing away the joy), not taking out the garbage (dumping the family's wealth out), not eating noodles (late in the year will be tugging and nagging), and other old customs, not only to believe in science, but also to be hygienic.

Thirdly, we must abandon the old idea that only returning home on New Year's Eve is considered to be going home for New Year's Eve. Because people are working in different positions, and every position needs to be manned on New Year's Eve, so as long as they return home during the Spring Festival, they should be regarded as going home for the New Year, parents and families should not complain.

Fourth, we must abandon the old custom of "annual meal, eat a year and a half". In the past, in order to show that the family solid and rich, New Year's Eve dinner to rice have a large number of leftovers, the more food is the better the old custom, which not only causes a lot of waste, and sometimes lead to intestinal diseases, so this idea should also be abandoned.

New Year's Eve customs should be innovative with the times.

First of all, the daughter should be allowed to go back to her mother's home for New Year's Eve, or have a marriage relationship between the two sides of the family and the New Year's Eve together, so as to avoid the parents of the daughter to avoid loneliness, but also to enhance the relationship between the two sides to increase the atmosphere of the festival.

The second is not to burn incense, candles and paper money, not fireworks, instead of flowers, offerings, weed and soil worship.

Thirdly, you can not send the money or less money, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the children's psyche, but also reduces the burden of the adults.

Fourth, the Spring Festival is a good time to plant trees in the South, you can change the honoring of the land Bodhisattva to planting trees, and each person will plant a tree every year to keep as a souvenir, so that both the greening of the hometown, but also to improve the environment.

Folklore is a direct reflection of the spirit of the nation and the quality of the nation, may we inherit, reject and innovate in the fine traditions of the Chinese nation in the Spring Festival folklore!
