Speaking of going home for the Spring Festival, the main theme is anxious to return, happy and happy. When asked about the significance of going home, everyone's answers basically include, going home is to reunite with and honor parents. This is beyond reproach.
After all, China is an ancient civilization. There are countless famous sayings about filial piety in classic works.
"Filial piety, the classics of heaven, the meaning of the earth." Meaning: filial piety to nature. From the book of filial piety. "Good meals should be given to parents first, and good clothes should be given to parents first." It means: give your parents a good meal first, and then dress them first. And "don't teach parents to suffer, don't teach parents to worry." It means: don't let parents suffer, don't let parents share their worries. These two sentences are from the article "Advise the newspaper to be kind". "Filial piety first, I will believe it again." It means: First of all, we should be filial to our parents and love our brothers. Secondly, we should be cautious and keep our word. From (Qing) Li Yuxiu's Disciples Rules.
Going home for the New Year is also the most important traditional festival in history. The ancients still did. In today's era when many families have only one child and two children, it is even more necessary for everyone to go home for the New Year. Because if there are many brothers and sisters, you are not there, and there are people around you to accompany your parents. But now in this society, if you don't go home, there are only elderly parents at home. In festive festivals, parents will be a little lonely.
However, I think going back to my hometown for the New Year is not only about honoring my parents, but also has two more important meanings.
1. Going home for the New Year is a silent inheritance and development of the 5,000-year-old traditional culture of China people.
Wang Jingwei, who shouted patriotism all day, finally became a traitor. People who teach us to respect traditional culture all day may just like Christmas in the west. Love is an action, and action is the best expression.
Many people don't go back to their rural homes for the New Year, on the grounds that the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker. In fact, the taste of the year has not changed, and it has changed into people's hearts. With the abundance of material, economy has become the core of society, and the human touch has faded. What is affection? Money is family. And all this, we can't passively complain, because complaining can't change this situation.
If you look closely, you will find that most people in China are still from China, and the blood of the Chinese nation still flows in the bones of China people. What we love in our hearts is traditional culture. Too many people like classical Chinese, poems and idioms, China paintings and calligraphy, Chinese dialects and folklore.
If you say I'm just a hypothesis, let me give you some examples. Not long ago, CCTV's "Chinese Poetry Conference" and "Seeing Words as Face" enchanted many people in China. Of course, there is the "World Collection" program hosted by Wang Gang, which was deeply attracted by the ancient treasures of China. There is also a cultural exploration program "National Treasure" hosted by CCTV and CCTV Records International Media Co., Ltd., with Zhang Guoli as the commentator and Jerry Lee, Wang Kai, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Tamia Liu as the guardians of national treasures. A magnificent "special exhibition" about the treasures of 9 major museums and 27 town halls was presented to the audience. Let's just say that the traditional things in China are really wonderful.
Some people say that China is really great today, but I think the traditional culture of China is the greatest! Some people are disgusted when they hear these words, but we can't deny that they have a long history.
Our generation should shoulder the historical mission and be the inheritor and promoter of Chinese culture. Therefore, going back to my hometown for the New Year is not only to honor my parents, but also to carry forward the Chinese New Year culture that we practice silently.
If you think that your feelings for home and country and historical mission are too grandiose, I want to tell you that going back to your hometown for the New Year has a lot to do with yourself.
Second, returning home for the New Year is the best example of a person who dares to face life and growth.
Many people spit out the embarrassment and unhappiness of going home for the New Year on the Internet. When asked about salary, professional title, marriage and other issues, I have to say that this is really the trouble I have to face.
When I was in my twenties or even thirties, I went home and was asked about all kinds of privacy, or in the name of caring. Ask about salary. Talking too much is either bragging or borrowing money. In this world, it is easy for anyone to make money. If it's too low, relatives and friends will say it's useless. If you say it yourself, that's ok. The key is that negative comments will unconsciously cool the whole house like the wind on the wall. Asking for a job title and saying that you have been promoted is either blindly exaggerating or attracting jealous eyes. What older young people fear most is being introduced. Good people are arranged one by one, much like feeding animals and farming in the countryside in the past, which is disgusting.
However, I want to say that you can't complain about all this. The countryside is such a simple and complicated society. Before you grow up, you must face the "care" of villagers and relatives and friends, and face these narrowness and comparison. When you can face all this calmly, your heart will gradually become strong and mature.
Therefore, returning to my hometown for the New Year is not only to honor my parents, but also to face life and growth.
People who weigh 100 kilograms, who have money but no money, go home for the New Year. Whenever I go home to see my parents, I always feel that his white hair on both sides has increased again. Although I may not have a family or a career, I feel a little comforted to go back to spend a year with my parents. Although I have been busy for a year and worked hard, I have gone through this year and the end of the year. I raised my head to face all kinds of cross-examination and comments, and faced up to the envious or disdainful eyes from all directions. After seeing all this clearly, we should conscientiously sum up, grow transparently, and work hard in the coming year to open a gorgeous chapter.
