Different people's views on the Mid-Autumn Festival

Older people:

When we were young, our families had to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day when we have to come back to the family to have a reunion with them. At that time, everyone paid more attention to the family, and this awareness is relatively strong, but now, technology is developed, there are cell phones, computers, no matter where you can be very convenient and fast and family connection, so that this sense of reunion slowly faded away, and the sense of belonging to the family is not as strong as before. The sense of belonging is not as strong as before. Speaking of changes in the Chongyang Festival, the previous is to climb high to pray for blessings, and now the main thing is to go out with family and friends to travel, take pictures to remember what, anyway, from the overall point of view, the meaning of these two festivals seems to have undergone a lot of changes, and there are a lot of places have deviated from the original track, presenting the modern significance.

1). It is recommended that the traditional festival system be restored in the name of the government, the social status of the Mid-Autumn Festival as a major festival should be restored, and the Mid-Autumn Festival should be designated as a legal holiday, and the holiday time could be deployed from the National Day long holiday.

2). Rebuild the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival customs, enrich the traditional festivals and activities, and add new ones adapted to the development of the times

3). Use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a day of activities to adjust family and social relations, and encourage people to reunite and celebrate, as a way to alleviate the social pressure of the Spring Festival's concentrated population movement.

Moms and Dads:

"Mid-Autumn Festival", a traditional Chinese festival, has been a lot of people feel quite meaningless, or even hate, just eat mooncakes, enjoy the moon, and think that it is the ancient people to do things, it would be better to stay at home to rest and relax! The traditional festival of the moon has been found to be quite meaningless and even annoying, just eating moon cakes and enjoying the moon! In fact, if you think it's meaningless, why don't you make it more interesting? I don't know if you have seen a new way to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival recently. Nowadays, the mooncakes that are sold outside are not good enough. Not delicious not to mention, but also worry about what bad things added inside, but the Mid-Autumn Festival and is not to buy, which also makes quite a lot of people distressed. So? （A new method was born! In some big cities, a game of making your own mooncakes has begun to emerge, with lots of moms bringing their little babies to make mooncakes themselves. Making mooncakes can be a really "big" project for a child. Parents first have to tell them what a mooncake is. Luckily, the moon in the sky can be used as a teaching aid during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so if you have a real object, you won't have to be afraid to explain the word "mooncake". "The mooncake is actually an edible "moon".

The next step is to make the dough. As with playdough, the babies will be more interested than usual because the "playdough" is edible.

Of course, it's hard to get a little baby to concentrate on one thing, so let the baby play with the dough in his hands, sometimes squashing it into a flat, sometimes kneading it into a long strip, and then the original "moon" will also be deformed, which will make them dissolve into the fun of "doing" the mooncake. "It's fun to make mooncakes, and moms don't have to worry about the ingredients, which are inexpensive and, more importantly, meaningful. Whether these mooncakes are good or bad, the adults who receive them will be very happy and will have a happy smile on their faces.

Students:

Many students don't like traditional festivals because they simply don't understand the connotations embedded in these festivals. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the connotation of traditional festivals to lead students to understand the cultural knowledge of national traditional festivals, enhance students' knowledge and understanding of traditional festivals, and then identify with traditional festivals, love traditional festivals. How to develop the cultural connotation of traditional festivals? Teachers need to explore the research, the definition of traditional festivals, the core connotation of the festival to generalize and refine, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the harmony of nature **** place, Tanabata begging for love and adoration, Lapa melt and the theme of gratitude. Guide students to carry out moral practice experience activities. Such as the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to guiding students to understand the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, participate in the bag of rice dumplings, sewing bags of practical activities, the focus should also be carried out "into the Qu Yuan" activities. Through the "Qu Yuan story know how much" Qu Yuan poetry recitation and other activities, and the great poet Qu Yuan face to face: more than two thousand years ago, the great poet Qu Yuan for his motherland shed his last tear, jumped into the Miluo River rolling waves. Qu Yuan was unable to serve his country and martyred himself, and he insisted on his noble quality of not being complicit in the dirt; he sought up and down, nine deaths without regret, and he preferred to die rather than leave his homeland half a step of sentiment, has always caused students to think y and explore; his noble character with the sun and moonlight, stirring up the students unlimited admiration. From the taste of his great pain persistent emotion, experience his great personality of lofty loyalty. Personality education can play an important role in other forms of education. In the reshaping of the ideal personality of the Chinese nation today, the Dragon Boat Festival, learning and inheritance of Qu Yuan's noble personality, has great practical significance.

Part III: The significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival

"Miles of cloudless mirrors in nine continents, the most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

- Contemporary significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival

August 15 is the traditional Chinese festival - the Mid-Autumn Festival, which has a long history and, like other traditional festivals, has developed slowly and came to be. With the change of time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, people look at the bright and round moon in the sky, watch and worship, and send their feelings, which is given more emotional color.

1. Reunion

"Being a stranger in a foreign land is a foreigner, and every festival is twice as important as thinking about family." Festivals are the promoter of national cohesion, has a strong and mysterious power, "reunion" is the product of Laozi "Taoism law of nature", is the "unity of mankind" philosophical concepts of highly embodied, is the unique cultural values of the Chinese people. It is a high degree of reflection of the philosophical concept of "unity of heaven and man", and is a unique cultural value of the Chinese nation. The night of the full moon is the time of the reunion of flesh and blood.

"Raise your head to look at the moon, lower your head to think of your hometown." A person who is alone in his hometown, busy during the day, but also to dilute the sadness, however, in the dead of night, the heart will inevitably rise up bursts of nostalgia for his hometown waves. Not to mention the moonlit night, not to mention the frosty autumn night. From the moon in the sky associated with the reunion on earth, this is a unique Chinese way of thinking.

"The poplars have fallen and Zi Gui cries, and I hear the dragon marking the passage of the five streams. I send my heart to the moon, and follow you to the west of Yelang." The poplars have fallen out, and the birds can't stop crying. I heard that you have been deported to Longbiao, and that you have to pass through Chenxi, Xixi, Wuxi, Wuxi, and Yuanxi on the way; let me entrust my sad heart to the bright moon in the sky, and accompany the gentleman until he goes to the west of Yelang! Sending love to the moon is another way of releasing emotions.

The world is always away from more and less, wandering the end of the world of sorrow and life is always difficult to avoid the disappointment, therefore, the pursuit of reunion is not only a realistic need, or a psychological need.

2. Harmony

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates and looks forward to a good harvest, and therefore also looks forward to harmony. And, as a result, we are also looking forward to the harmony. The harmony of the Harvest side of the mouth, everyone has food to eat; harmony of the speech side of all, everyone dares to speak. I hope that our motherland "political harmony", social "harmony and order", diplomacy should adhere to the "peace **** place", between countries should be "peace and differences", and do the work of "harmony and differences", so we also look forward to the harvest. and different", to do business to "and **** help", in the world to "and light and dust", between neighbors to "get along with each other", do business believe in "and gas make money", treating people to pay attention to "amiable", speak to "and color", criticism to "and wind and rain "and so on, and so on.

"And" is the pursuit of the core values of our traditional culture. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion, neighborhood harmony, class harmony, community stability, national reunion, family and national harmony, and world unity. As Su Dongpo said, "I wish you a long time, thousands of miles *** Canyuan Juan", Zhang Jiuling said, "The moon is born on the sea, the end of the world *** this time."

3, thanksgiving

Mid-Autumn Festival from its earliest meaning, is a set of rituals, which embodies the people of the time for the reverence of the natural world, but on a deeper level, it also shows that the people for the relationship between people a kind of awareness, reflecting a kind of importance to the family.

The moon is a symbol of national harmony and family happiness. Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a day of small family reunion, but also a time of national celebration. From the seasonal point of view, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the "Autumn Harvest Festival". Of course, now it seems that the nominal worship of the moon, in fact, can not forget should be their ancestors, and is to miss those far away from the reunion of relatives. In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival, is the reunion festival, is to trace ancestry, is a family reunion festival. "The bright moon at sea, the end of the world **** this time."

4, make a wish

Once again, the festival can also be a wishing festival. Of course, there are some utilitarian overtones here. By wishing for the moon on a holiday, such as career problems, health problems, marriage problems, family problems, often also more spiritual. Of course, we should not exchange this kind of utilitarianism for the worship of our ancestors! When you worship your ancestors out of sincerity, I believe that if your heart is sincere, then your wishes will be realized in the future. But if you come to worship with a false heart, then the good ones will not work and the bad ones will not work! You will regret it!

5. The Beauty of Humanity

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, once upon a time, every family set up a table in the courtroom to offer mooncakes, lotus roots, diamonds, watermelons, pomegranates, beans, and other seasonal foods to the moon. At the beginning of this century, I went to Songjiang rural folklore survey, villagers told me, until the 1950s and 1960s, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, they will set up tables, incense bucket offerings, in order to sacrifice the moon. These customs, reflecting the people of the moon, the fear of nature, this fear is full of the moon, the nature of the proximity and love. This is not very rare, it is not the pursuit of people and nature **** with the harmony of the characterization? At the same time, temporarily put off the work, the whole family men and women, young and old, gathered to enjoy the moon, while tasting the moon cakes, festivals, while talking about the family, the picture seems to be ordinary and ordinary, but we can also taste in which the people's life of the fun and beauty, taste of the beauty of the human feelings of our Chinese people.

6, aesthetic interest

The formation of the Mid-Autumn Festival customs such as the moon is also intriguing. Mid-Autumn Festival night, enjoy the moon, so that people consciously to experience, feel the full moon, the moon realm and a variety of beauty, at this time, the natural life of the weather and people's inner emotional experience will be correspondingly compatible, people on the moon, the moon realm of the beauty of the sensibility and then become sensitive to the time of the moon, every time to make people happy, the shape of the song, is not by chance! Charming moonlight greatly activated people's imagination, toad in the moon, rabbit in the moon, Chang'e running to the moon, as well as laurel, Wu Gang's myths and legends, so that this festival is full of mysterious atmosphere, so that a lot of Mid-Autumn Poetry presents the appearance of the magnificent and beautiful. There are so many Mid-Autumn poems that they can be counted. Some of them have even been sung throughout the Chinese land. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival custom, not only let us in the nature, under the moonlight, to get aesthetic enjoyment, and it is also constantly in the cultivation, enhance our aesthetic interest.

In China, the bright moon has never been an ordinary star, it is loaded with a long history of myths and legends and deep cultural connotations. "The night of the bright moon, short pine post" of the memorial, "but wishing for a long time, thousands of miles of *** Cain Juan" of the hope, "tonight the moon is bright, I do not know who fall in the fall of thoughts" of the nostalgia, in the hearts of travelers, the moon is parents, is the brotherhood, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon, is the moon. In the heart of the traveler, the moon is parents, is a brother, is a son or daughter, is a lover, is a thousand mountains and thousands of miles of water can not be separated from the strong affection.

Part IV: The most meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival

After more than a decade of Mid-Autumn Festival, only this year this Mid-Autumn Festival is the most meaningful to me. 9/22 this day, originally intended to sleep to the midday of the morning I was awakened at more than seven o'clock. I got up from the bed in a daze and habitually turned on the computer and boarded the chat program. In less than a cup of tea, Uncle Lin (a volunteer of the Red Cross and our leader) sent a message saying that there would be a volunteer activity today. As soon as I saw this, I immediately sobered up. I immediately replied that I would like to participate. Some time later, I arrived at the blood donation house in the Cultural Palace as promised, where I was in charge of publicizing the event with three other newcomers. The four of us started to get to know each other a little bit, maybe we were all more outgoing, so we soon got to talking. But we didn't forget the purpose of our visit. Soon Uncle Lin finished explaining all the work.

Today we are not only here to publicize blood donation, but also to recruit volunteers for marrow donation. Since we are all new, we don't know how to publicize. We saw a lot of advertisements around, so we followed their example to send out flyers, sent a while, Uncle Lin and another fat uncle (also Red Cross staff) came over, there is only one person is still there to send out flyers, the fat uncle saw, said to him: this is not to be used as an advertisement to send out, this is only to send to the people who come to donate blood, understand? After that, he called us all into the blood donation room and told us about marrow donation and how to become a volunteer marrow donor. After the explanation, he and Uncle Lin left again. The three men asked me if I understood what they were saying, and I said, "Of course I do, it's very simple! You should not&& Someone said he listened to his own head a little dizzy, I guess has forgotten almost.

Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, but those who come to donate blood are few and far between. The first thing you need to do is to get a volunteer to donate marrow, and it's hard to get one! So we jokingly said: give me a month, I will be able to recruit. In the morning, we lobbied several people without success, and in the afternoon, we lobbied a few people, but the result was still the same, ending in failure. At this moment, I saw a sister coming this way, and I knew that the opportunity had come. I don't know why, those three boys especially tacit understanding said to me: you go! I can't help it that I can't speak to three people by myself, so I can only say: I'll go, I'll go. Hmph! You guys just wait for my good news! So I started to ask in that formulaic language: Sister, donate blood? She said: Uh-huh. I added: Sister, let's fill out a form first. I watched her fill out the form and chatted with her at the same time. And those three kept urging me to hurry up. I said to them impatiently: What's the hurry? I'll get it done in no time. With the experience of the previous failures, I began to ask boldly: Sister, are you interested in becoming a volunteer marrow donor? Sister looked at me with a blank face, looking at this expression, the first reaction was to start explaining, I told her a lot, and finally made myself a little dizzy! At this point, the sister at the blood station came out to help me explain and promote the program, and finally, the sister agreed. We let her into the blood station to fill out the information, after going through all the procedures found that there is still a certificate of honor has not been issued, but who should write the words on it? My handwriting is so ugly. And those three people will be this difficult task to me, finally, I frowned to write it, and awarded her, said to her: sister, congratulations you have become a member of the Chinese bone marrow bank!

One day down the road we finally recruited a volunteer to donate marrow. But in the excitement at the same time also thinking, thinking: why is it so difficult to recruit a volunteer to donate marrow? I think it's because people still have a deep misunderstanding about marrow donation! Including myself, I still have some misconceptions about this, but today all my misconceptions about it will be dissipated. I have learned a lot this day, and have a lot of feelings, so I decided to learn more about it, popularize and publicize the knowledge of marrow donation, reduce the public's misunderstanding of marrow donation, and recruit more volunteers to donate marrow. As the leaflet says, as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place!
