What is Chinese New Year? (Well written) When I was a child, the Spring Festival was a joyful day for wearing new clothes, setting off firecrackers, and receiving red envelopes; As I grew up, the Spring Festival became an annual exam topic for grabbing train tickets, being urged to get married, and dealing with relatives. When 'the flavor of the New Year is becoming increasingly diluted' becomes a fixed topic for the Spring Festival every year, We cannot help but ask, in this era of material abundance, what is Chinese New Year? The temperature of a meal is worth a thousand words A food writer once said, "A New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous meal of the year and the most important ceremony of the year Documentary director Chen Xiaoqing once recorded a true story. A construction worker who has been working outside for many years, I haven't been able to go home for the Chinese New Year for three consecutive years due to work. In the fourth year, he finally took a leave and sat in a hard seat for 28 hours before returning to his hometown in Sichuan. When I pushed open the door, my mother was frying crispy meat in the kitchen, and my father was posting couplets. Seeing him, the spoon in his mother's hand fell into the oil pan, and his father's calligraphy was tilted halfway. At that moment, no one spoke, but everyone's eyes turned red. On the New Year's Eve of that year, his favorite dishes were sausages, fermented glutinous rice rice dumpling and douban fish. At the dinner table, his parents hardly moved their chopsticks, just watching him eat as if trying to catch up on the missed glances of the past three years. This reminds me of a saying: "Chinese New Year is about boiling a year's memories into a pot of boiling soup Those seemingly ordinary dishes, such as dumplings in the north, rice dumpling in the south, Braised pork belly in brown sauce, mother's specialty... each carries the memory and waiting of home. The sense of ceremony at the New Year's Eve dinner does not lie in the abundance of dishes, but in the people sitting together and the satisfaction of "finally waiting for you". In the New Year's money, there is hidden love that elders cannot express Every Spring Festival, discussions about lucky money will go viral on social media. Some people say that 'New Year's money has become a burden on human relationships', while others say that' when children receive money, adults find it difficult '. But behind these practical issues, the original meaning of the New Year's money is worth rediscovering. I gradually understand that the New Year's money is not the amount of money, but the intention wrapped in red paper This sentiment is a blessing from elders to younger generations, a transmission of family emotions, and a unique way for Chinese people to express love implicitly. I know a retired teacher who prepares special New Year's money for her grandchildren every Spring Festival. It's not just about putting money in a red envelope, but about writing a handwritten letter telling about important events that happened in the family over the past year, sharing one's life insights, and finally attaching a small passbook or a few commemorative coins. She said, "I hope children understand that New Year's money is not just a blessing to 'suppress age', but also an inheritance to 'suppress memory' The true meaning of New Year's money may lie in this sentence: "The money in a red envelope is never just money, it's the warmth of elders holding your little hand, and the unspoken worries they want to express to you The sense of ceremony during the Chinese New Year is a fortress against forgetting Did you notice? Nowadays, the "reverse Spring Festival travel rush" (parents going to the city where their children work to celebrate the New Year) is becoming more and more common, and electronic red envelopes are gradually replacing paper red envelopes. Video New Year greetings are also very common. What is the meaning of Chinese New Year when traditional forms continue to change? In director Jia Zhangke's movie "Mountains and Rivers, Old People", there is an unforgettable scene - even in a foreign land, on the day of Spring Festival, the protagonist will still cook a pot of dumplings and kowtow to the East to pay New Year's greetings. His foreign friends around him didn't understand, but he said, "Some things can't be lost. If you lose them, you won't be able to find your way home This reminds me of a friend who works overseas. Every Spring Festival, he does three things without hesitation: One is to clean the room, even if it's just a small rental house; The second is to cook a New Year's Eve dinner for oneself, even if it's just a simple three dishes and one soup; Thirdly, make video calls to family members in China, even if there is a time difference, and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. He said, "These rituals make me remember who I am and where I come from The meaning of Chinese New Year may be as the saying goes: "It's not about returning to one place, but returning to a state of being wrapped in love, warmed by memories, and illuminated by expectations The New Year is both reunion and departure A writer once described the Spring Festival as follows: It is the endpoint and also the starting point; It is both a summary and a prospect; It is the longest pause and deepest connection of the year. ” As the midnight bell rings, the old year passes and the new year arrives. We gather at this special moment and then go our separate ways after gathering. And it is precisely this cycle of reunion and separation that constitutes the unique time and family values of the Chinese people. We always know that there is a place waiting for you to come back forever, and that some people are always looking forward to your well-being. What is Chinese New Year? It's when you open the door, unload your luggage, smell the familiar aroma of food, hear the long lost local music, and then understand that no matter how far you go, it's all for the arrival of this moment; Despite experiencing many changes, some things remain unchanged. During this Spring Festival, no matter where you are, may you find your own "New Year's flavor" and feel the emotional connection that transcends time and space. Because the Chinese New Year is never just about festivals, but about the deep affection that makes us "us". Finally, I wish all my fans and brothers a good New Year. —————————————— Reject noise, secure your investment for the 411th day Currently holding 50 ETH coins at a cost of $2373.67 Currently holding 5.83 BTC with a cost of $85183 Currently, SOL holds 1847.32 positions with a cost of $156.4 Currently, LINK holds 7550 positions with a cost of $14.6 Today's operation: Continue to blindly buy 0.06 BTC, 5 SOL, and 50 LINK Current overall profit of the account: -11.76%
