Do people still have a sense of ceremony when they wear new clothes for the Spring Festival?

It's hard to feel the ritual of wearing new clothes for the New Year now. I remember when I was a child, my parents would accompany me to the supermarket or shopping mall to buy a new suit for the New Year.

Childhood memories are full of sense of ceremony. The happiest thing for me every year is to wear new clothes for the New Year. However, with the change of time and the growth of experience, there is no sense of ceremony in buying new clothes every year, and I don't pay much attention to buying clothes during the New Year.

Many people say that 2008 is just an ordinary holiday, and they have a clear feeling about it.

So what is the reason why there is no flavor of the New Year now?

The main reason is the progress of social productive forces, which leads to people's lack of freshness in celebrating the New Year.

I remember when I was a child, life was not very rich. Many people's entertainment methods were very simple, just computers or playing cards. However, as I grew up, social materials became more and more abundant, and I found that only special festivals like buying new clothes for the New Year can be easily realized in peacetime.

Many times, if you want to buy a suit, eat a specific food, use your mobile phone and spend a little money, you can satisfy your desire, and you don't have to wait until a specific holiday. Therefore, the progress of social productive forces makes many festivals lose their traditional meaning, especially the Spring Festival, which makes more and more young people feel bored.

The progress of productive forces is certainly a good thing, because it greatly enriches people's lives, not only satisfies people's pursuit of material life, but also solves a problem of material shortage in society. However, it has also brought some side effects. For example, when people celebrate the holidays, there is no festive atmosphere, but they can rest for a few more days.

Especially some young people nowadays don't want to go out to pay New Year greetings at all, let alone contact relatives and friends. Instead, I like to sit quietly in my room and play with my mobile phone to polish my time.

I talked with many friends about the boring topic of Chinese New Year. Many people gave me almost the same answer.

Nowadays, Chinese New Year doesn't smell like Chinese New Year. It's just a form. I agree with this answer. But this is a side effect of social progress. It is undeniable that social productive forces have changed the previous social life, but people are still curious about the expectations and sense of ceremony in the New Year!
