What do you think are the obvious differences between the previous Chinese New Year and the present Chinese New Year?

There was no Valentine's Day in the previous Spring Festival.

In the past, before the invasion of western festivals, we didn't know what Valentine's Day was. Everyone is so simple that many people are afraid to mention the word lover. At that time, because of simplicity, the taste of the year was very strong, and the love between men and women was relatively obscure, which was generally carried out quietly. Now the Spring Festival is very close to the Western Valentine's Day, but the Western Valentine's Day may overwhelm the Spring Festival.

2. In the previous Spring Festival, there was no activity of grabbing red envelopes.

In the past, when there was no Internet and no smart phone, there were no mobile phones such as WeChat grabbing red packets, QQ grabbing red packets and online grabbing red packets by major merchants. This kind of activity does seem to enrich the content of the Spring Festival, but it still feels less interesting than before. Because in the past, everyone was very happy together, and everyone had no money, but they were not worried about the problem of money. Now they have money, but they just interact to grab the red envelope. They always feel that they don't have so much human feelings, so they are naturally tasteless.

In the past, the Spring Festival was the time when everyone was the most local tyrant, but now it is the most embarrassing time.

Before the Spring Festival, everyone will buy some delicious food and add a new dress. I remember when I was a child, every family would go to cook the meat to fry all kinds of delicious fish and meatballs during the Spring Festival. It's like all of a sudden, everyone is rich overnight. Now the Spring Festival, everyone seems to be richer than before, but by the Spring Festival, everyone feels skinned. Prices are soaring, and gifts and lucky money for children are countless times higher than before. Human feelings are indifferent, even to children. Nowadays, children know how to love money, and if they give less, they will have emotions. So the Spring Festival has become the most embarrassing time for many people.

In the past, celebrating the Spring Festival meant eating delicious food and wearing new clothes, but now it just means taking a few more days off.

In the past, we adults and children were looking forward to the Spring Festival, and the Spring Festival was full of joy, because we couldn't eat delicious food at ordinary times, but it did. We didn't wear new clothes the year before last, but we did during the Spring Festival. Now, according to many people, the only reason they look forward to the Spring Festival is to take a few more days off. Now people don't lack food and clothing, what they lack is rest.

In the past, there were all kinds of beautiful fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival, and they were all very cheap. Now it is not only expensive, but also banned.

I remember when I was a child, during the Spring Festival, there were many stalls selling fireworks. All kinds of fireworks and firecrackers are still very cheap, a few cents each and a few dollars each. On New Year's Eve, take it out and light it. Everyone has different surprises. Now, fireworks and firecrackers have become more expensive. Although people's income has risen, it seems that they can't afford it. Now that there is a ban on the environment, the taste of the year has become even weaker.

There used to be only TV sets, and some TV stations would show some movies during the Spring Festival. Now with WiFi, I'm tired of watching all kinds of movies.

In the past, we didn't have so many electrical equipment. Many families may only have one black-and-white TV set, and many TV stations broadcast movies and good-looking TV plays every day during the Spring Festival. At that time, some Hong Kong and Taiwan movies and domestic TV series such as The Journey to the West were really tireless. Now with the Internet, WiFi and smart phones, you can watch all kinds of movies and TV series at ordinary times, and there is nothing new in the Spring Festival. There are new films in the cinema, but they still cost money. Now it is a money society, and the Spring Festival doesn't feel so warm.
