Xiangxiang people: Why do you have to go home for the New Year?

1 Going home during the Spring Festival is the best time and way to show filial piety and care to parents. Everything else is fake. Even if I send a lot of money, I can't comfort two lonely, lonely and helpless hearts. "Children are worried for thousands of miles", although it may not be said. If they are not worried, if they really want to be happy, they can only see you, hear you, reach out and photograph your dust.

Going home for the Spring Festival is to reunite with relatives. With the growth of age, this loneliness will become more and more intense, so we should take good care of our home, which is our warm spiritual harbor. The Spring Festival is a sense of ceremony of reunion. It is not only a cultural heritage, but also a physiological heritage, which has become our life instinct, so we have many ways to go home. Going home is for reunion, and reunion is a ceremony. Through such a ceremony, we can get a kind of positive energy, but while the family gives us warmth, healing and comfort, it also needs the contribution of each of us. Home brings you comfort and a sense of belonging. You'd better build, care for, value and cherish your home, make contributions to your home, make it grow and develop, and gather positive energy for your home. Your family accepts you unconditionally. We all need families. Actually, your family needs you, too

Going home during the Spring Festival is to let the tired body have a good rest at home. For China people, it is the only harbor where they can rest. It's huge, but in this cold world, who cares if you are dead or alive? If you have a wound, you can only dress it yourself, for fear of being peeped or even beaten. Pain, tired, crying, can only find a place where no one, silently shed a few tears, and then quickly dried to face. Then put on a smiling face and face the world. Only when I get home can I finally take off my mask, put down my fatigue, laugh, cry and have no scruples. No matter how much pain, you will find opportunities to vent; I have accumulated jokes and pride for a year and found someone I can really talk to. My tired mind, in a familiar house, can finally relax. I have been tense for a year, take a good breath, have a good sleep, and don't have to worry about when to punch in. Have a good rest.

Going home during the Spring Festival is a cultural ceremony to recognize one's ancestors and return to the ancestral home. The word "nian" did not appear until the Zhou Dynasty. In Shang Dynasty, Nian was called "Sacrifice", which means it's past four o'clock and it's time to worship the ancestors of the gods. This is the origin of the New Year custom. China is an ancient farming country, and people's lives depend entirely on the changes of rain and time series. Since ancient times, China people have believed that only under the guidance and care of the God of Nature can human beings get a guaranteed and orderly life. "Year" is the beginning of a year's time series change, so at this time, offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth and expressing reverence for heaven and earth have become the most important activities of the country. In the folk, there are also many ways to express respect for natural gods and ancestors. Ordinary people in the Zhou Dynasty could not set up ancestral temples, but only worshipped their ancestors at home. Many rural halls still have the custom of decorating incense sticks. With the passage of time, ancestral temples and family temples can also be set up in villages, so ancestral temple sacrifice has become an important part of folk Chinese New Year. In addition, in king of people on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, on New Year's Eve, a table of heaven and earth was set up to greet the gods and worship them. It is an important ceremony for the folk New Year. As family ancestral temple and his ancestral graves are both in their hometown, sacrifice is related to the fate of the whole family and individuals, so "going home for the New Year" has become an inevitable choice for many homeless people. China's traditional culture focuses on life and consanguinity and reflects on life and the world, so family and parents are naturally regarded as the source of personal life and value. In modern society, although many traditional ceremonies have been forgotten, "going home for the New Year" has been preserved as a powerful cultural code. On this day, people may lose some thoughts of worshipping God and seeking the source, but the desire to rest and soothe the soul still exists. This is the motivation of the rush army in Spring Festival travel rush every year. No matter how hard it is, we have to go home. In fact, what everyone wants to go back to is not only a childhood home, but also a spiritual home that embodies humanistic care. This kind of care starts from the family, and gradually reaches neighbors, relatives, friends, villages, communities, and then the whole country and the whole world. This is the real cultural significance behind China people's "going home for the New Year". Today, it is still a cultural ceremony to recognize one's ancestors and return to the ancestral home.

Going home for the New Year is a kind of spiritual comfort. For us, it is the source of struggle. After a long journey, we endured loneliness and loneliness in different places and worked hard for a year just to go home. Going home not only brings a busy year's income, but also adds some motivation to the body that has worked hard for a year. Although the tired body is a little numb, returning home is like filling up the oil and electricity, full of motivation to go out again next year. When I get home, I can finally take off my mask, put down my fatigue, have no scruples, laugh, cry and have no scruples. No matter how much pain, you can find opportunities to vent; When you have accumulated jokes and pride for a year, you can find someone you can really talk to. My tired mind, in a familiar house, can finally relax, tighten my body for a year and take a good breath. Home is a person's only destination. Fallen leaves come back to their roots, and only when they return to their hometown and speak the local accent that they practiced since childhood can they laugh wildly. Only when I returned to my hometown, looking at the familiar grass and trees in my hometown, listening to the familiar but perhaps unaccustomed local accent, and welcoming the congratulations from my relatives and friends around me, did I finally feel that this place belongs to me. No matter how good it is outside, it may not have anything to do with me. Home is the only destination for China people. So hundreds of millions of people in China have to go home for various reasons. It's not Chinese New Year, it's warmth. Therefore, no amount of difficulties on the road can resist the warm call of home.

Go home and get a sense of comfort. It's an honor for those successful people to return home dressed in rags, but they are actually called Guangzong Yaozu. Those who have failed and been sad in the past year can get a kind of talk, a kind of comfort and encouragement, and the comfort of their families, especially their parents. By telling the experience of the past year, it is a kind of restoration of things, helping yourself to sort out the past, getting comfort from family members, getting solutions to things and gaining strength. The new year is really to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. This is the end and the starting point. Go home, spend the New Year with my family, gain strength after some rest and spiritual purification, and start again with hope and expectation. In the past, people thought the New Year was sacred, with long preparations and strict ceremonies. By respecting our ancestors and praying to them, we can confess our past mistakes to them, relax ourselves, pray for their blessings and gain strength. It's relatively simple to celebrate the New Year now, but through the New Year's Eve dinner, eating jiaozi and celebrating the New Year, we can unload everything from the old year and start over.
