The younger generation in the family pays New Year greetings to the elders, the newly married daughter-in-law in the camp pays New Year greetings to the elderly, and the children happily put on new clothes and meet in groups to accompany the adults of each household. Happy New Year.
When celebrating the New Year, girls don't forget to compare each other's new clothes. If everyone says that so-and-soās new clothes look good, then the girlās smile will probably remain there for at least three days.
Unlike today, when life is affluent, children no longer have trouble sleeping because of new clothes and good food and drink.
But I always wonder, was it really just these material things that made us excited and longing for it?
The festive atmosphere that is filled with happiness and joy, the close communication between people without too many barriers, the unique sigh of life and the longing for the future in the festival, etc., these may be the true meaning of this festival. The spiritual connotation and significance of it.
People who wish to pay New Year's greetings must kowtow if they are paying New Year's greetings to their elders. If you are paying New Year greetings to the elders in your camp, you do not need to kowtow, just hold hands together and bow.
When arriving at each house, they would first say happy words, and then sit for a while to drink some tea and eat melon seeds and chat, which was very casual and natural. Even if the two families are usually estranged, they will greet each other with smiles on the surface on this day.
Some families are big and have many elders, so the children will be miserable. After coming back from various New Year greetings all morning, my knees were really hurt.
Especially at that time, every family was covered by land. Almost all the children came back from visiting New Year with their brand-new trousers stained with mud, and they had to lick the new clothes they had just put on. Because the older generation had objections, they were not allowed to wash clothes on the first day of the new year, were not allowed to throw garbage outside, etc.
Fortunately, many old habits and customs have been changed. Nowadays, when children pay New Year greetings to their elders, not only do they not have to kowtow, but they also have to look at their mood. If they are happy, they will say "Happy New Year" to you. If they are unhappy, they may not even look at you and just hold their mobile phones. As if there was no one around. This phenomenon of
does not exist in one company, but in many families. It does not exist in one child, but in many children.
Objectively speaking, itās not that adults donāt teach or point out materials. But the children simply ignore the adults' preaching and go their own way. Even if the adults are so angry that their eyes are blue, the result of blowing their beards and staring is not satisfactory. I donāt know if this is a tragedy for social progress.
After thinking about it, I felt at ease. Because an era has its own theme, and each generation has its own traces of growth.
Children who did not grow up in the countryside of that era cannot understand those difficult years. Without experiencing that era of poverty and backwardness, our children cannot understand the hardships of our generation.
Recall the hardships and remember the sweetness without forgetting the roots. But many classmates, colleagues, relatives, and friends have complained: "Today's children are too pretentious, and today's children are too difficult to manage. They have all kinds of bad problems, but they can't explain them."
Yes, look at today's children , adolescent rebellion, what a good excuse to be naughty and mischievous.
When we were young, you were still in adolescence, it was a joke. A stick was struck on the forehead, a big shoe sole was stuck on the buttocks, a big ear scraper was held on the head, and the handle of a pickaxe was swung on the back. Nothing could be expected.
You want to use your obedience as a child to guide him, you want to educate him with five thousand years of Chinese traditional virtues, and you want to use civility and politeness to influence him, but are today's children willing to listen?
If you want to talk to him, it can only be wishful thinking. If you want him to listen, it can only be a luxury.
"What era were you in at that time? You were old-fashioned." This sentence leaves you speechless and speechless.
allows you to truly feel the "generation gap" that never existed between us as children and adults. Not only does it exist now, it is also bottomless and unfathomable.
After the first day of the first lunar month, it is time for relatives to move around. Relatives from far and near began to visit each other.
I remember when I was a child, it was during the New Year, festivals, or any familyās weddings and funerals. Relatives will come to help no matter how far away they are or what the weather is like.
makes people sincerely moved from the heart, and makes people truly feel that "it is a three-way relationship, and it is a fiery relationship." Even if relatives circle around relatives, relatives cover relatives, relatives who cannot be beaten with seven poles and blinded with eight poles, they are still They all seemed extremely affectionate and full of family feeling.
Especially some women, holding hands, seem to have endless intimate conversations, endless chatter about their parentsā insecurities, and endless love for their flesh and blood. That kind of affectionate energy will definitely infect the audience next to you, making you involuntarily moved from the bottom of your heart.
But now, the affection between relatives has become increasingly weak. Some of them are even strangers and have become strangers with blood ties.
The reasons are diverse and very complex. But the main reason is not hard to find.
It means that if there is no intersection in life, the relationship will naturally fade away. As the saying goes: "If you don't come to your door for three years, you won't be a close relative." This is true for friends, and it is also true for relatives.
The fast pace of modern life has made "busy" a daily pressure for everyone. Busy with work, busy with livelihood, busy with taking care of the elderly, busy with taking care of children, busy with all kinds of entertainment, busy with necessary socializing, busy...
In short, we are busy every day, and we are busy every year. So busy that I forgot about the movements between relatives and the past between relatives.
The alienation in distance, the weakening in contacts, and the passage of time make the relationship between relatives even weaker. Over time, the feelings between relatives disappeared.
is as light as boiled water, without any taste. As pale as white cardboard, without any color.
Especially with the process of urbanization in rural areas, more and more farmers who once had simple feelings entered the city. Due to the impact of the market economy ideology of "everything depends on money", traditional family relationships have become more and more important. Itās changed.
In addition, everyone lives in a world of strangers. It is colleagues and friends who are closer to each other. People are mutually supportive, and only by helping each other can we go further. Relatives are especially important.
Family love is the hope sown in the countryside when the spring breeze blows. Family love is the coolness that spreads on your ceiling when the hot summer comes. Family love is the sweet fruit stored in your heart during the golden autumn harvest. Family love is the warmest sunshine that shines on you when the harsh winter comes.
The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, but family love is eternal. The beauty of life is love for everything, but family love is unforgettable. Days without family love are lonely, life without family love is painful, people without family love are unfortunate, and the sky without family love is dim.
