People in China attach great importance to the Spring Festival. What if it is cancelled?

If the Chinese New Year is cancelled, it will not only have a certain impact on the economy, but also have some adverse effects on society. For China people, the significance of Chinese New Year is not only a short nap after long work, but also the emotional communication of the whole family. Every new year is the busiest time for a family. The family eats New Year's Eve together and watches the Spring Festival Gala. Although dull, it is also full of warmth. Although the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is getting weaker every year, if there is really no such festival, then everyone will definitely not get used to it.

First of all, from an economic point of view, if there is no Spring Festival, the economic benefits that some industries can generate will be greatly reduced. Although most industries will take advantage of this holiday to have a good rest, many workers choose to work overtime during this holiday. Take the catering industry as an example. If we are lucky enough, we can solve the rent and other expenses at the beginning of next year by the end of the year, especially for the bottom people who buy and sell on a small scale. The economic benefits brought by the Spring Festival can solve their food and clothing problems. Therefore, many people expect to make a fortune during the Spring Festival.

In terms of social feelings, the Chinese New Year is the most suitable period for family members to communicate emotionally. In such an atmosphere, families can get together and strengthen emotional ties. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, people can see their relatives through video even if they are far away, but the video effect is not better than face-to-face communication, and the Spring Festival has given countless families such opportunities.

Therefore, from this perspective, if the Spring Festival is cancelled, China people will have less emotional contact, which is not conducive to the exchange of family feelings. In short, as a traditional festival that has been handed down for thousands of years, the existence of the Spring Festival does have many benefits.
