China's square dance went to the world, and I can't tell when it became popular. I only know that when it became popular, it spread all over the country, and the music changed again and again, such as Phoenix Legend and Apple before, and now online songs. In terms of fashion, square dance has never lost anyone.
With the popularity of square dance, the problem comes. Many squares are occupied by uncles and aunts, which makes some young people want to play basketball and have no place to exercise. Even the parking lot is occupied by aunts, and the resulting contradiction is becoming more and more obvious. So why are aunts so keen on square dance? I think nothing more than the following reasons!
First: the elderly are lonely!
In today's society, young people are under such great pressure. They want to use their off-duty time to engage in sideline business. They have no leisure time at all, and even their wives and children have no time to accompany them. How can they care about their parents?
So old people often don't know what to do all day long, and they are particularly lonely. If both sides are alive, it will be all right. If there is only one person left, that kind of loneliness is particularly difficult. Therefore, the square dance time every night is a good way for them to pass the time and solve their loneliness!
Second: the old man is very hard!
This situation is different from the last one. These old people are helping their children. Some of them are retired city residents and some are foreigners from rural areas. It's not easy to be busy doing housework, washing clothes, cooking and taking care of children during the day. It's hard until the evening. Children can look after their children after work and have time to dance and relax!
Third: the elderly pay more attention to their health!
Although the life expectancy in China has increased a lot, the incidence of nausea is increasing year by year, which is related to the current lifestyle. Excessive nutrition intake, sedentary and lack of exercise are all factors.
Especially after the popularity of short videos, have you found that many elderly people also like to watch short videos for a long time? But they also know the importance of exercise, so the square dance not only gives them exercise, but also breaks away from a few hours of mobile phone time, killing two birds with one stone!
Fourth: the helplessness of the rural elderly!
This article is specifically aimed at the rural elderly, because I am a rural person. There is a square in our town. Every night, the square is crowded with people, and even three venues are dancing square dance. Most of these people are old people, and even some men!
Because the countryside is quiet at night and most young people have gone out to make a living, there are only empty nesters left in the village. These old people are really lonely. During the day, they don't see many people in Zhuangzi, and they can't even find anyone to chat with. So in the evening, go to a square dance, exercise and chat with acquaintances, isn't it great?
To sum up, the old people jump in the square not only to relieve loneliness, but also to exercise and enrich their spiritual world. Everyone will get old one day. I hope the old people are healthy and live a long life!
