Some of the rural "cold feast" more and more, before people do not gift to, why now the gift is not?

There is a historical tradition of holding banquets in rural areas. In the past, people in the countryside to get married and have children to hold wedding banquets, highlighting the wealth of the family. The extent of funeral banquets stems not only from the memory of the dead, but also reflects China's culture of filial piety. Now cold banquets are becoming more popular in the countryside.

1. Part of the young people in the countryside are highly educated and settled in the city, so they go back to visit their parents in the Spring Festival, part of them go directly to work in the city, part of them settle in the city, and most of them still build houses in their rural homes. In previous years when the labor force shifted to the city, people still took care of the villagers in the village, but in these years people are not willing to have some meaningless banquets. The purpose of going to the city to work is to earn money that cannot be earned in the countryside. Originally, the only time to reunite with relatives was during the New Year. All kinds of banquets have been the norm for many years. Every year, after working hard to return to the countryside with a bulging wallet, several banquet tables were taken. The purpose of earning money is to improve the living conditions of the family, not to cope with the banquet!

2. The quality of banquets is not as good as it used to be. In earlier years, banquets were all about relatives working together and everyone having a meal that might only be available on New Year's Day. The standard of living in the past was not the same as now, so the banquet was more humane. Now, the standard of living has improved. Birthday banquets and beams of various banquets are too frequent, and some are held for two or three days in a row in order to amass wealth. Even after a divorce second marriage, children can enjoy drinking and living together for several days in a row, as well as all sorts of marvelous things. People's standard of living is no longer what it used to be. You can have that meal if you want. There's no need to pay for a so-called relationship.

3. The problem of local customs. Now some local banquets really can't be eaten, grabbing food and other bad habits, women still can't get on the table. Nowadays, people don't lack that meal, have money or can't eat a decent meal. If not immediate family, no one wants to go to such banquets, but also not willing to pay for hospitality. There are still some banquets in the countryside, and it is true that some banquets are held for a few days in order to collect money, for various reasons. At the same time there are once-in-a-lifetime banquets of all sorts where only a large number of children are brought to dinner and one pays a very small amount of money. Collecting money is pretty much just collecting money, and losing money is pretty much just losing money, losing the original purpose of witnessing all kinds of happy events with your loved ones. As long as you have a thick skin, those who want to make money through wedding banquets will have a hard time making money. Those who want people to lose money, bring more children to work hard for dinner, or even want red envelopes, might as well not go. Such a wedding banquet means little.

The banquet, or to a major event for the purpose of family reunion and witness, other thoughts, will become a cold feast, or will not feast, people are not stupid.
