Let's see what the New Year's Eve dinner was like ten years ago. 10 years ago, the economic development at that time was not as good as it is now, and many families were still in a state of adequate food and clothing and insufficient well-off. This fact determines that many families live frugally in their daily lives. Therefore, at ordinary times, many people can't eat big fish and big meat. But New Year's Eve is different. After working hard for a year, I can relax during the Spring Festival. Families usually go their separate ways and lead busy lives, so it's time to get together on New Year's Eve. So big fish and meat were served on the dinner table of New Year's Eve. At that time, the New Year's Eve dinner was mainly fish, and there were many kinds of dishes. A family will cook more than a dozen dishes, whether they can finish them or not, just to show their wealth.
However, the New Year's Eve dinner has changed. Let's take a look at what has changed. First of all, the types of vegetables have changed. On the dinner table of New Year's Eve, big fish and big meat are much less, replaced by some seafood and fresh fruits and vegetables. Secondly, the number of dishes has also changed. There are no longer so many dishes, but they are exquisite, just enough to eat and put an end to waste. Why is this? Is the taste of the year less? Don't! Because people usually eat too much fish and meat, they begin to pay attention to healthy eating and health preservation. Therefore, we also pay attention to nutritional balance in the collocation of New Year's Eve. Another factor is refusing to waste. The family eats the atmosphere, not the real meat dishes.
So I think that although the New Year's Eve dinner has changed, the taste of the year remains the same. The Spring Festival is a time for reunion. In fact, being a family is better than anything else. I think that's why our needs have changed. In Maslow's words, we have met the basic material needs and turned to security needs and social needs. It can also be said to be a spiritual need. So it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with.
