Do you have to reply to WeChat when the New Year arrives?

Not necessarily. You can decide whether to reply according to your actual situation. If you send text messages to people close to you, you can consider replying to New Year's greetings. If the message is sent by a stranger, you can not reply, or you can choose to reply "Happy New Year" politely.

But I think I should reply. Let me analyze it from the following two points:

1, come without evil.

In today's fast-paced era, considering the time when friends go out, it is impossible to send messages to all friends on WeChat one by one, but it is also possible to send greetings in groups.

Then, when you receive the New Year message, you should give each other a New Year greeting in time. This is courtesy to friends or relatives, and further, it is respect for friends or relatives. This is a concrete manifestation of the good cultivation of being kind to others.

2. Respond sincerely.

When you receive New Year greetings from others, you should treat them equally, whether they are relatives, friends or ordinary people. Because the other person sends you a blessing, it shows that you have a certain position in his (her) heart, at least you are still thinking about you during the festival. Therefore, you should thank each other for their blessings with the most sincere words, and say hello and blessings to each other at the same time.
