Now it's hard to appreciate the ritual of wearing new clothes on New Year's Day, I remember when I was a child, my parents would accompany me to the supermarket or shopping mall to buy a set of New Year's Day clothes.
In their childhood memories are full of sense of ceremony, their most happy thing every year is the New Year's Eve when you can wear new clothes, but with the change of time and the growth of experience, every New Year's Eve when they buy new clothes, there is no sense of ceremony, and not too much focus on the New Year's Eve to buy clothes.
Many people say that New Year's Eve now doesn't have any New Year's flavor, it's just an ordinary festival, and they themselves have clear feelings on this point.
So what is the reason, cause now New Year's Eve does not have any New Year's flavor?
The main reason is still the progress of social productivity, resulting in people for the New Year this kind of festival has no fresh feeling.
I remember when I was a child a variety of materials, life is not very rich, a lot of people's entertainment is also very simple, nothing more than a computer or playing poker, but as they grow as well as the social material has become richer and richer, but found that only the New Year's Day to buy new clothes for such a specific holiday in the usual can also be very simple to realize.
Many times they want to go to buy a dress or want to eat a specific food, as long as the mobile phone, spend a little money, you can satisfy their own desires, and do not have to wait for a specific holiday, so the progress of social productivity so that a lot of holidays do not have the traditional significance of the New Year's Spring Festival, in particular, so that more and more young people feel tasteless.
Progress in productivity is certainly a good thing, because it has greatly enriched people's lives, not only to satisfy people's pursuit of material life, but also to solve the problem of material scarcity in society. But it also brings certain side effects, for example, people do not have any festive atmosphere during the holidays, but just allow themselves to rest for a few more days.
Particularly nowadays, some young people, whenever the New Year's Eve, simply not willing to go out to pay respect to the New Year, much less willing to give friends and relatives to contact, but instead like to sit quietly alone inside the room, play cell phone polishing consume their time.
For the topic of New Year's Eve is tasteless, I have talked to many friends. The answer I got from many of them was almost the same.
Now there is no New Year's flavor, it is just a form, and I agree with this answer. But this is a kind of social progress brought about by the side effects, undeniable social productivity has changed the previous social life, but in people's deepest expectations of the New Year as well as the sense of ritual is still full of curiosity!
