The happiest time is family reunion, and the Spring Festival is a good day for family reunion. We are happiest at this moment when the family get together to eat, drink and have fun, even doing the most common things.

The Spring Festival is the crystallization of Chinese excellent traditional culture, the promotion and inheritance of Chinese culture, the important spiritual sustenance of Chinese sons and daughters, and the embodiment of Chinese great wisdom and social morality. The origin of the Spring Festival contains profound cultural connotations, and it carries rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development. During the Spring Festival, various activities are being held all over the country to celebrate the Spring Festival, which has strong regional characteristics. These activities are mainly about saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, exorcising evil spirits and disturbing disasters, offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, and praying for the New Year. Their forms are colorful and embody the essence of China traditional culture.

Many urban teenagers think that the Spring Festival is "too chaotic", with complicated customs and rules. Some middle-aged people feel that giving gifts and lucky money is too expensive, and they are at a loss during the holidays.

In my opinion, this negative opinion is not because the custom itself is not suitable for modern society, but because of the relevant strategies adopted in the process of China's transformation from traditional society to modern society in modern times, which makes traditional festivals fail to adapt to social changes and make necessary innovations. In modern society, if the Spring Festival wants to flourish, it must make necessary adjustments and have a strong enough modernity.

Family reunion and getting together is the wish that everyone in China is looking forward to, which is also the true meaning of the Spring Festival.
