The current year is rich in materials and basically does not owe debts. Children can buy whatever they want, and they are well prepared for the new year's goods. Basically, they have more than enough to eat and drink, so they don't lack anything, so the year is dull.
In the past, this time of year was very busy, chopping wood to make stoves and cleaning the courtyard. Rice milling, milling, killing pigs and sheep, and so on, everyone is busy working! But now the supply is abundant. Meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all handled by the supermarket at one time. Without the cumbersome things in the past, people feel that the taste of the year is boring. People who are older than others have passed the New Year and don't want to look forward to it, which is also the reason for being young.
In recent years, due to the management of fireworks and firecrackers, fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed to be set off in urban streets, which brings boredom to the New Year.
It's hard to find the taste of Chinese New Year when I was a child.
First, people have changed.
When I was a child, Chinese New Year was fun and carefree.
Now there are more responsibilities and obligations in the Spring Festival, and there are more things in my heart.
Second, the environment has changed.
In the past, every Chinese New Year was decorated with lanterns, and there was no shortage of offering sacrifices to stoves, sweeping dust, putting up New Year pictures, putting up Spring Festival couplets and stick grilles. Now, if it's better to go back to my hometown, I'll tidy up and stick a couplet outside for the New Year at most. As for other customs, we young people can't remember them clearly. How to operate them?
In the past, every time I went to various temple fairs on the street during the Spring Festival, I rarely saw gadgets such as food and clothing at the temple fairs. But when do you sell things now, even if you don't have to go out, where will there be temple fairs?
People who used to go out to work during the Spring Festival every year went home, and everyone was very busy. Wherever they go, they can meet some relatives and friends, and when they meet, they can say hello to New Year. Now they don't even know the person opposite.
In the past, every Spring Festival, the whole family would get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. After a busy day, they all gathered around to watch the Spring Festival Gala and talked about all kinds of interesting things that happened this year. Now everyone is busy playing with their mobile phones to grab red envelopes. Where can we have time to chat?
Miss the taste of childhood, can you get it back? I can't get it back. I'll never get it back It's just a good memory. When I was a child, the flavor of the year was much stronger than it is now. Although the flavor of the year still exists, it is not as strong and lively as when I was a child. I remember when I was a child, the whole family got together to make rice cakes, make zongzi and make cakes.
Busy back with a happy smile with a strong flavor of the year. Now it is a developed society, and people change with the changes of society. Nowadays, most Chinese New Year foods are made by machines instead of by themselves. So now few people get together to make rice cakes and cakes like when they were children, and young people are not as greedy as when we were children. At that time, no matter how many rice cakes, zongzi and cakes our parents made every year, we ate them all. Now we must make them smaller.
So now eat a small one and go out to buy it. I don't want to go to so much trouble to do it myself. I have to prepare a lot of things for myself.
I want to find the taste of childhood, but I can't find it back, so I can only stay in my heart and keep it in my heart.
Now we have changed, and we are not as diligent as our mother at that time.
With the development and change of society, people also change. Now it has the taste of the present, and the past has the taste of the past. In recent years, I wish you all a happy and happy New Year.
The taste of the year has always been there! It's just that society is developing and people are making progress! Because of the change of time, the taste of the year has faded. People no longer just need to eat well, wear new clothes, have fun and have pocket money during the Spring Festival. ......
It further shows that people's living conditions and material conditions have reached a life that does not aim at eating enough and wearing warm clothes! But we need to pursue something better! Usually these consumption can meet people's daily needs, so people are already "numb" to the Spring Festival!
It's Spring Festival or a family dinner! Good friends get together! Still more comfortable!
Therefore, in my opinion, the taste of the year is that families get together to eat New Year's Eve and watch the endless Spring Festival Gala talk about the ups and downs of the year!
At the end of the year, young people often hear old people say that the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker now. "When we were young, it was called Chinese New Year ..." After nagging for a long time, young people didn't understand what "taste of the year" meant. So, what is the annual taste of Jinan, Shandong? Can people get their old taste back?
One of this year's tastes: wearing new clothes
In the past, material life was poor, and the market was in short supply. No matter adults or children, they can't put on a few new clothes all the year round. The so-called "new three years, old three years, sewing again and again." Children pick up adults to wear old clothes, and younger brothers pick up older brothers to wear small clothes. People all over the street are dressed in military green, blue or gray.
People in Jinan must put on new clothes and put on a few feet of cloth for the Spring Festival, and the whole family, old and young, will be close. As long as it is the twelfth lunar month, the cloth shop is crowded and the tailors are very busy. New clothes will be pressed to the bottom of the camphor box. On New Year's Eve or the early morning of the first day, the whole family will turn out the new clothes and put them on.
In the era of planned economy, most industrial and mining enterprises are centralized in purchase and marketing, and workers can earn money as long as they work. So many enterprises and factories issue uniforms, such as railway clothes and road clothes. China New Year is also the season for issuing new uniforms. Those workers who hold the "iron rice bowl" put on new uniforms during the Spring Festival and are proud in front of relatives and friends.
The second taste of this year: fireworks
Setting off fireworks in the New Year is something that every household should do. In the twelfth lunar month, the business of firecracker stalls in the streets is booming, and there are firecracker processing factories in towns and villages, which specialize in making "white-skinned firecrackers" or selling them in Lei Zi. Firecrackers are full and loud, which is completely different from the most popular Liuyang firecrackers. However, Liuyang firecrackers are still the most popular, ranging from 10000 to 10000.
There are many kinds of fireworks, such as monkey drill, kicking, thundering days and even balls. After 1980s, there are more kinds of fireworks, and there are often as many as forty or fifty kinds to choose from in a firecracker sales booth. Fireworks are concentrated from New Year's Eve to the fifth day, and special fireworks are also set off on the fifteenth day of the first month.
Speaking of fireworks, children are the happiest. Everyone, led by their parents, came to the front and back of the building, lit fireworks in the amusement room, and the old people at home looked out of the window. Those colorful fireworks sometimes attract neighbors to watch. If there is a big salute, the onlookers can stand four or five times.
The third taste of the year: New Year's Eve.
Dinner is eaten every day, but in terms of importance, no meal can catch up with the New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve in a narrow sense refers to New Year's Eve, and in a broad sense refers to New Year's Eve to the fifth day. Therefore, the preparation of the New Year's Eve should also start from the twelfth lunar month. People in Jinan should prepare crispy pots, crispy meatballs, fried lotus root boxes, fried fish and fried meat ... often three or four pots.
All kinds of cooking, chicken, duck and fish, and New Year's Eve dinner are available on the table. If you want wine, jiaozi must eat it! According to the old tradition, there are two kinds of vegetarian dishes in jiaozi. They only eat in the evening, and they also eat jiaozi at four or five in the morning on the first day. Others will put copper wallets in Su jiaozi, and whoever eats them will shout "get rich".
From the first day, you can't move naked fire, mainly eating roasted seeds and nuts prepared years ago. In the past, people were short of oil and water in their stomachs. On New Year's Eve, they ate big fish and meat, had irregular work and rest, and were not too hungry. After eating a few jiaozi and fried meat, they were full. Sometimes greedy children often burp and upset their stomachs.
The fourth taste of the year: Happy New Year
Jinan people go to their parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month. In addition to not paying New Year's greetings on this day, people will visit their homes from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, depending on their relationship. That's right! Instead of calling and texting like this, you must pay a New Year call at home. At the dawn of the New Year's Day, adults pick up children who don't want to get up, walk around the community first, and then ride bicycles to pay New Year greetings to relatives one by one.
Visiting New Year's greetings is not only a courtesy, but also a social activity. There are some contradictions and frictions between relatives at ordinary times. During the New Year, big things become smaller and small things become smaller. Colleagues and friends use the opportunity of visiting their homes to exchange their feelings. Of course, many experienced professionals will also take this opportunity to get in touch with their superiors and subordinates and get to know each other better.
"Happy New Year!" It seems that this sentence is normal when visiting New Year, and the culture and spirit it contains have been passed down for thousands of years. Although New Year greetings such as "All the best" and "Congratulations on making a fortune" came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, old Jinan people still like three simple and direct words: Happy New Year!
Old Jinan people also have customs such as cleaning on the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, offering sacrifices to stoves in the 23rd lunar month, not scolding children after the next year, not sweeping the floor before the third day of the third lunar month, and being called "supporting" when peeling in jiaozi. All these constitute the flavor of the year that the old people relish and deeply miss.
But the times are developing! The taste of the year is not static. With the advent of the information age, the accelerated pace of life and the great satisfaction of material life, many past flavors have disappeared.
People miss the taste of that year is actually to taste the innocence of youth! Years go by like water, especially when people reach middle age and old age, they will miss those happy days that are gone forever, and the taste of the year has become the sustenance of those days.
The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine. The rising sun sheds light on doors of each household, New peachwood charm is put up to replace the old. The new year has come again. While lamenting that the flavor of the year is gone, we should also see today and tomorrow when "new peaches are exchanged for old peaches" ...
The flavor of the year is gradually disappearing, and it is gone forever!
When I was a child, I was always looking forward to it. I counted my fingers and looked forward to it.
Because China New Year means wearing new clothes, eating a lot of delicious food, playing fireworks and watching yangko at the head of the village. ...
Now that life is good, you can eat jiaozi, buy new clothes and watch performances at any time. ...
In the past, Chinese New Year was mostly about re-injecting material, so it felt different and full of flavor.
Now that the material is extremely rich, the New Year is not so different. Now people have raised their spiritual requirements, and we can only keep in touch by visiting relatives and friends.
Everyone has his own year in his heart, and everyone once had a childhood year. With the passage of time and the changes of the times, it is impossible for anyone to find his childhood. Because society is developing, life is changing every day.
When I was a child after 60, hunger and cold were the main theme and materials were scarce. In the new year, I can eat rock candy, wear new clothes and buy red rope headdress, just like God.
When we were young after the 1970s, everyone was still poor, but the country has gradually blossomed, the chaos movement has basically disappeared, the commune has slowly come to an end, and the family contract system is ready to go. At that time, everyone was basically rich, and they could eat a few good meals during the Chinese New Year, and the food was gradually enriched. Everyone is looking forward to the New Year.
As a post-80s child, the whole society has taken on a brand-new look, land has been contracted to households, and society has begun to change. Reform and opening up are like a spring breeze. The Chinese New Year is even more jubilant. Killing pigs, cutting rice and sugar, steaming steamed bread, making rice cakes, ten thousand households, tape recorders, video recorders and color TVs, the tide of working in Shenzhen is getting better and better every year!
After 90, I have hardly suffered.
00, don't talk.
As long as we can remember, Chinese New Year is our favorite day of the year, and now it is a burden (local tyrants don't talk).
Can't go back, can't copy the taste of that year. I hope to get married and give my children a better taste of the year!
I was born in the 1980s, and my material life was particularly difficult when I was a child. The conditions at home are not good, waiting for material improvement in the New Year. So I am particularly eager for the New Year, and the taste of the New Year naturally becomes particularly strong. I set off firecrackers with my neighbors and partners. At that time, firecrackers were taken apart one by one, so that the shooting time could be longer. Now my living conditions are very good. I hope the Spring Festival can improve my food. Good material living conditions are no longer so desirable. Every day is the same as Chinese New Year. This is not the same as before. I will never forget to bless my motherland and people. Life is sweeter than honey.
Of course, the "flavor of the year" can be retrieved.
What is "flavor of the year"
Many times, we have blurred the feeling of "Nianwei", thinking that "Nianwei" is a ubiquitous fireworks, and it is the Spring Festival Evening that we have to watch every year. It is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and we have to wait for the New Year's Eve bell, which is a brightly lit night. .......
But is this really the "flavor of the year"
Because of the 12 zodiac sign and cultural tradition, we are used to going back to our hometown during the Spring Festival. Even if we are scattered all over the world, we will eventually return to our loved ones during the Spring Festival. Is it for fireworks? Spring Festival Evening? New Year's Eve?
Of course not. It's for reunion. My parents are here, and I don't travel much. I will travel well, and I will eventually return to my relatives during the Chinese New Year, and enjoy the taste of my mother after family reunion and smoke. Fireworks, Spring Festival Gala, countdown to New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve lanterns are just auxiliary forms of "flavor of the year". People often say that life needs a sense of ceremony. Starting from the traditional culture of China, the ceremonial feeling of the Spring Festival should be a reunion dinner. Therefore, as long as the closest relatives are still there, the "taste of the year" will always be there.
Even if the guest usurps the role of host, the theme remains the same.
It is not excluded that many people will go out to play during the Spring Festival, or enjoy this special day in the form of fireworks and Spring Festival Gala, but the food culture will not change much. Times are changing, technology is progressing, and it is normal for entertainment forms to change.
Just as in the development of social civilization, black-and-white TV has been replaced by plasma TV and network TV, behind every scientific and technological invention, the inventor's wisdom is condensed, which is the inventor's intangible asset and has intellectual property rights. No matter who is using it, the inventor always owns the property right, and the processing of patent authorization and sale does not affect the benefit of science and technology to mankind.
The Spring Festival is incomparable to other festivals. In many forms of celebration, "Nianwei" closely embodies a family and is an important cultural wealth of China. As long as the Chinese New Year holiday, as long as you want to go home, the "taste of the year" has always been there.
