What kind of Spring Festival do you want to have?

I want to have a Spring Festival where we interact with each other sincerely

“No matter how many thoughts are stored in my heart, I just send simple blessings...” I have nearly a thousand WeChat friends. During the holidays, we receive dozens of the same "blessings" in various forms, including text, voice, pictures, and videos.

A recent article that went viral on WeChat Moments said: "Rituals are the magic that makes ordinary days shine. They are our revenge on ordinary lives." The rise of mobile Internet provides seemingly convenient A quick and easy way to send messages in bulk. However, the copy-pasted blessings have taken away the flavor of the past year when people visited each other and exchanged blessings. The contact network built by social software includes both relatives, friends, teachers, and peers of younger generations. Doesn't it seem disrespectful to send "one pot of soup" in a group?

The ritual sense of the Spring Festival lies in the hope of a new life at the beginning of the new year. Maybe the gap of time and space does not allow us to visit him and bow his hands, but no matter when and where we are, our sincerity towards our relatives, friends and teachers will always remain unchanged. Someone asked, "What is the mentality of people who send blessings in groups?" Some people answered, "Something is better than nothing." But I thought that people who sincerely want to send blessings will always interact.

I want to have a Spring Festival where the whole family is reunited

When it comes to the Spring Festival, the word that comes to my mind is not reunion, but Hard.

My father is a boilermaker, a person who brings warmth to tens of millions of families. Winter is his busiest time. The hardest part is working the night shift, from 11pm to 8am the next morning. It is not easy to complete this job and provide heating to thousands of households. My father will be exhausted and sweat every time, and his hair, face, and collar will often be covered with soot.

Every Spring Festival, my father cannot be with us. "If a family is not reunited, thousands of families will be reunited." My father said: "During the Spring Festival, we must send warmth to thousands of families."

I hope that my father is healthy, and I also look forward to a Spring Festival where the whole family can be reunited. (Zhao Shuxin)

I want to have a green and healthy Spring Festival

In recent years, news about the New Year's "post-holiday syndrome" has frequently appeared in the newspapers, and it has become commonplace, but in reality, Seeing the big fish and meat spread on the dinner table, I still felt sad. People who have been busy for a year celebrate happily when welcoming the New Year. Most people choose to eat and drink healthily, only to find that their bodies are even more tired and weak afterwards. Thinking about it, some Spring Festival "bad habits" that are harmful to health need to be bravely changed.

Another example is that domestic cities have issued "burning bans" one after another, but just after midnight, the sound of cannons is still deafening, and the ground is full of red confetti that is ready to fly. Although setting off firecrackers is lively and joyful, the environment and the body suffer. Similar to this performance, there is also the custom of major temples competing for the "head stick incense" on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Pilgrims constantly throw the incense in their hands into the fire, which not only pollutes the air, but also creates certain safety risks. . Compared to the above, I am more willing to change my customs and live a green and healthy Spring Festival.
