Help with a survey: the change and unchanging of old customs

The change and invariability of old customs

After the New Year's Eve, firecrackers continued to explode the whole night sky. Almost all China people in the global village have paid attention to it, concentrated the wisdom of the national literary elite, and managed it for more than half a year under the absolute guarantee of people's property supply. When they saw it, they regretted the perfect curtain call of the Spring Festival Gala for half a year, which indicated that the traditional "Year" of China people had passed. After combing my thoughts, I feel that some of the old customs left by my ancestors are still being passed down, some have been unrecognizable, and some have disappeared. The change of old customs makes middle-aged and elderly people feel that the taste of the year is weak, but it also caters to the simple, fashionable and leisure mentality of young people. Changing and unchanging, borrowing a network hot word, is very "tangled".

What remains unchanged is going home for the New Year. Whether living in a foreign country or drifting overseas, it is the only choice for every qualified traveler to go home and reunite with his relatives. The unique "Spring Festival travel rush fever" in the world has become the sustenance of the collective migration of tens of millions of people-a fairly medium-sized country. My second brother works in Shanghai, and almost every year, he tries his best to get Zhang Fei (car) tickets to go home for the New Year. Book early, I am too busy to determine the itinerary, and I can't buy a ticket if I am late. However, except for special circumstances, going home to spend the New Year with the elderly is a constant theme. Second brother can't come back for the Spring Festival this year because he is busy. Although it has been stated, my second brother feels that there are still some shortcomings.

What remains unchanged is the posting of Spring Festival couplets. I remember when I was a child, I planned to put up a few pairs of Spring Festival couplets, buy red paper and cut it out, and ask the old people in the village or the school teacher to write it for me. The contents of Spring Festival couplets are published in the newly published Farmer's Calendar or Chaoyang Daily every year, so there is little choice. Just finished, blow dry with your mouth, take it home and paste it carefully. Later, when I became a teacher, I begged others to write because I was afraid of being laughed at, so I had to do it myself. Later, the Spring Festival couplets at home were not only written by themselves, but also shown to neighbors, and sometimes posted on red paper. Now Spring Festival couplets can only be bought in the market. Fortunately, there are many Spring Festival couplets, blessings and hanging signs on the market, but according to the requirements of the elderly, the content must reflect peace, auspiciousness and prosperity. What remains unchanged is the New Year's Eve dinner. This sumptuous dinner is full of affection, expectation and harvest, which brings the whole family together and makes them happy. In the past, my mother believed in the old order, and the girl went back to her mother's house for the New Year. Under normal circumstances, her sister always goes to her mother-in-law's house for the New Year. In recent years, my mother has been very supportive and supportive of my sisters' voluntary choice to go back to their parents' home for the New Year. When there are many people, both tables are full, which increases popularity. The two old people were overjoyed. Every small family should show their housekeeping skills and cook one or two good dishes. Let's push a cup for a change and have a good time.

The constant thing is to set off firecrackers. It seems that people think that setting off firecrackers is one of the customs that can best reflect the atmosphere of the New Year, so that it will cause a lot of trouble and even lead to disaster almost every year, and people still never leave. Firecrackers are usually set off before New Year's Eve and at night when jiaozi is wrapped. The child can't wait long. At this time, the old man's instructions are essential: stay away and be careful.

What remains unchanged is the form of ancestor worship. According to my mother's instructions, after the off-year and twelfth lunar month, it is the day to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. Grandma's grave is on the hillside. Because he made a phone call in advance, Mr. Zhong, who was nearly eighty years old, waited there early with a shovel. One winter, it didn't snow and the climate was dry. I was afraid that burning paper on the grave would cause a mountain fire. The old man handled it carefully with tools. On New Year's Eve, the New Year's bell is about to ring. My mother religiously lit a few incense sticks and a pile of watch paper, praying for ancestors to bless their children and grandchildren's health and safety and smooth work. After eating jiaozi, mother quietly stuffed each child with an empty peach pit tied with red wool and told her to take it with her at any time.

What changes is the form of New Year greetings. When I was a child, I ate jiaozi on New Year's Eve and began to pay New Year's greetings. First kowtow to grandma and parents, and go door to door early on New Year's Day. After taking part in the work, although I am not interested in flattery, I still have to drop in on the first day and the second day, and sit and chat with my elders, teachers and leaders at home, which is regarded as a New Year greeting. Later, the telephone became more and more popular, and it became fashionable for people to call New Year. Now it's a text message, and then it's a "collar" Although there are many similarities in the content of short messages, there are essential differences in the way of New Year greetings.

Change is to buy new year's goods. When I was a child, I remember that people began to buy new year's goods one after another as soon as they entered the twelfth lunar month. Steamed bean curd, tofu, and killing pigs should be carefully considered at the end of the year. You must buy what you need, because the shops are closed during the Chinese New Year, and there is no place to buy even if you have no money. Now the supply is sufficient, and the merchants serve around the clock. Although prices are rising much faster than income, they will no longer worry about the shortage of goods. In fact, the most important change is that people are no longer eating and dressing well in the traditional sense. If they have time and interest, they can live like Chinese New Year every day. Is it necessary to store new year's goods?

Change is a treat. I remember that after working, almost every family will treat guests in the first month of each year, from several times to a table. Good cigarettes and wine that you can't bear to drink during the New Year should be reserved for the distinguished guests to enjoy on the day of the treat. In order to show respect for the guests, but also to show off the ability to get these tight goods. In order to be hospitable, the family began to prepare a few days ago, and sometimes it took more effort than the Chinese New Year. After the guests left, the housewife cleaned up the leftovers and washed clothes, which was miserable. Now it's a treat, no one is playing at home, I have an appointment with my relatives and get drunk in the hotel.

The ever-changing customs have witnessed the changes of years, the progress of the times, the renewal of ideas, and the speed and convenience brought by modernization. The unchangeable old customs have inherited the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation. Dialectically looking at "change" and "unchanged", whether it is "giving up" or "staying", people naturally see clearly.

I am also from China Trade. /kloc-Are there any compatriots in Class 0/0?
