Does not having a holiday on New Year's Eve affect the inheritance of traditional festival culture?

The holiday time for the Spring Festival in 2024 has come out, and there will be no holiday on New Year's Eve this year! Subsequently, it caused various discussions among netizens. Let's talk about it today

Let's talk about this holiday first.

24 years in Spring Festival travel rush: 8 days from February 10 to February 17. Go to work on February 4th (Sunday) and February18th (Sunday). Encourage all units to implement the paid annual leave system and arrange employees to rest on New Year's Eve (February 9). Simply put, the first day to the eighth day is a legal holiday, and the ninth day officially goes to work. Here is another detail. February 9 is Friday.

In fact, we have an extra day than usual. Why do you still have such a big opinion

1. Everyone was shocked that such an important traditional festival did not have a holiday.

New Year's Eve is a traditional festival in the true sense. It is a thousand-year tradition for everyone to go home for the New Year. The result is that you don't have a holiday, and you have to take annual leave if you want to take time off. Everyone doesn't quite understand. Some netizens even spit out, is the stock market still open on New Year's Eve?

Everyone thinks that the taste of this year has been artificially diluted.

Whether Uncle Benshan withdraws from the Spring Festival Gala or fireworks are not allowed during the Spring Festival, it seems that the word "Spring Festival" has lost its original meaning. When we were young, we began to look forward to the Spring Festival every winter. From cleaning, buying new clothes, putting up couplets and setting off firecrackers, the most important thing is to ask the elders for lucky money, watch the Spring Festival Gala with their families on New Year's Eve, and pack jiaozi. Now it seems that our best memories are slowly disappearing, but they have become festivals, and we have been busy for a whole year, looking forward to the day of reunion with our families in the new year. There is no holiday on New Year's Eve now, and everyone is on the road.

In fact, I think the official is well-intentioned about not having a holiday on New Year's Eve.

1. What do you mean by legal holidays?

Statutory holidays such as May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, etc. A legal holiday means to have a rest no matter what day. If you catch up with Monday and Friday, you have to rest, compulsory rest. This is called a legal holiday. If you catch up with Saturday and Sunday, you will have one day off on May Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest will be a series of Saturday and Sunday.

This adjustment is actually to take an extra day off.

Let's look at Spring Festival travel rush in 2024, starting from February 10. That day is Saturday, not a legal holiday, including Sunday 1 1, from February 12, 13, 14, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On the 4th, the first Sunday after the Spring Festival, the number 18 was strung together for seven days. 17 This number is usually a Saturday, and there is no holiday on that day, so this year's Spring Festival holiday has eight days.

3. New Year's Eve is not a legal holiday. Who else hasn't rested?

To tell the truth, this official statutory holiday is also related to the system, state-owned enterprises and some enterprise administrative departments. In fact, many service industries and small and medium-sized enterprises do not take vacations because of the particularity of their business activities. By the end of the year, many people also took vacations in advance, and some enterprises and institutions actually left individuals on duty on the last day. So you don't have to be too entangled.

Will not having a holiday on New Year's Eve have an impact on the inheritance of traditional festival culture?

To tell the truth, now that the atmosphere of our traditional festivals has been impacted, it is no longer a question of whether to have a holiday on New Year's Eve. In fact, influenced by foreign cultures, Valentine's Day is much more grand than Qixi, and neither of these two festivals has a holiday. The atmosphere of Christmas is much more grand than that of Spring Festival, and we don't have a holiday at Christmas. In the past, New Year's Eve was also a holiday. Everyone was playing with their mobile phones and grabbing red envelopes from time to time.

Of course, officials should not always focus on holidays to stimulate consumption. When ordinary people have money, they naturally spend it. In fact, this kind of folk publicity and promotion is also a good market, and we should promote it. As long as the education of our traditional culture is carried on, otherwise the children now really don't know what the New Year is all about.
