1. Parents let their children take their boyfriends (girlfriends) home for the New Year. It is understandable that parents want their children to get married as soon as possible when they are older. The problem is that many parents will ask their children's emotional problems and even give them "tasks" when they must bring their boyfriends home for the New Year. This makes it difficult for some young people who cannot find true love. Emotional problems can't be found just by looking. Now more and more young people are pursuing celibacy, and this problem will become more and more difficult in the future.
Second, young married couples must go to one of their parents' home for the New Year. Theoretically speaking, husband and wife are integrated after marriage and should go anywhere together, which is also the theoretical basis for husband and wife to go to one parent's home for the New Year. Although there is nothing wrong with the truth, from the heart, is the wife or husband really willing to go to the parents-in-law or parents-in-law for the New Year?
Living habits are different since childhood, and the two sides are not related by blood. Can you really be happy living together during the holidays? This problem cannot be generalized. Some people really have a good relationship with their parents-in-law or parents-in-law, and they are very happy to spend the New Year together. But there are also some families whose relationships are not harmonious. For a so-called custom, going to each other's home for the New Year can only embarrass both sides. In this regard, I personally think that this issue should respect each other's wishes. There is no need to go to one parent's house for the New Year. Go if you want, or go if you don't want.
Third, relatives and friends pay New Year greetings to each other.
This was originally a way to enhance the feelings between relatives and friends, but now it has gradually evolved into a "formalism"! For close relatives and friends, it is appropriate to pay New Year greetings, but if seven aunts and eight aunts always visit each other, it will become a burden. Nowadays, young people are very busy at work. They finally have a holiday to rest and have to deal with all kinds of entertainment. They are more tired than going to work, and lose the meaning of New Year greetings!
To tell the truth, the society is developing really fast now, and our countryside is also moving towards a new era. Rural revitalization and new rural construction will present the future countryside to the world with a brand-new look. But we should treat traditional culture rationally, abandon it when it is time to abandon it, and keep it when it is time to keep it.
1 For example, Spring Festival couplets, a folk culture that has been going on since ancient times. However, nowadays, the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets seems to be slowly deteriorating and even commercialized. Like before, I always go to a small shop to buy some red paper and ink, and then write it myself or ask someone who can write calligraphy. Now, who has time to write their own Spring Festival couplets? Most people go to the market to buy a lot of couplets, take them back and stick them on the wall with transparent glue. They used to paste them with their own batter. But it also shows that we are all rich and not short of money, but we always feel that this traditional culture seems to be shallow and has no full Chinese New Year charm. This is the lack of couplet culture.
Now everyone says that the Spring Festival is not as delicious as before, and even the Spring Festival party is not as delicious as before. As in the past, we are used to arranging preparations for every day of the New Year according to traditional festivals, such as sending the stove to the sky on the 23rd and cleaning the house on the 24th ... We used to arrange every day before the New Year, but now we feel less busy a few days before the New Year, just going to the market to buy a lot of messy things and waiting for the first day of the first month. Writing Spring Festival couplets, cleaning the house, making tofu, setting off firecrackers and wearing new clothes seem to be missing a lot now.
However, in many places, the custom of kowtowing to pay New Year's greetings every Spring Festival still exists, and in many places, this custom has been abolished. In some areas, kowtowing is very particular, which is a high standard for the elderly. Should this custom of kowtowing to celebrate the New Year be kept or abandoned as a cultural dross?
3. There are funerals in the countryside. Since ancient times, people who died in the countryside have invited bands. In the past, they just hired a singing class to create an atmosphere to send the old people away. However, it has changed a lot now. I don't know whether it is the product of the progress of the times or the product of traditional culture. Spoiled! At present, many rural funerals have vulgar performances such as hot dancing and even striptease, and there are also phenomena that make people cry. In short, the funeral is very festive and joyful, but in fact, the traditional culture has been destroyed, and some things should really be abandoned!
There is nothing to say about the programs performed in the countryside every Spring Festival or Lantern Festival. It must be a traditional culture that needs to be preserved, such as walking on stilts, yangko dancing, dragon dancing, lion playing and other traditional folk performances. This is a precious cultural heritage, and we should continue to pass it on. Of course, it is also an important embodiment of rural spiritual culture, which adds a lot of color to our traditional culture.
In rural areas, many traditional cultures have been preserved. Of course, some of them have changed their taste after improvement, and some of them are out of tune with the times and need to be discarded. For example, some traditional folk customs, whether worship or legend, are farmers' yearning for a better life and a beautiful expectation, but some things don't need to be too serious and immersed in it. We should emancipate our minds, keep pace with the times and adapt to the development of rural areas in the new era.
