Four great works of each era

Four items, also known as "three turns and one ring", is a term used by China in the late 1960s and the 1950s, which refers to four household items that the country was able to produce at that time and all families wanted to own. These four household items are: radio, bicycle, sewing machine and electric fan.

Bicycle; Bicycle exercise

Changes of "Four Big Pieces"

Four major events in the 1950s and 1970s: sewing machines, bicycles, watches and radios (at that time, there were 90 watches in Shanghai, 180 sewing machines, 180 radios and 180 bicycles).

Four major items in 1980s and 1990s: color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner (around 500 yuan).

Four new products in the new century: mobile phones, computers, cars and houses.

Speaking of the "four big pieces" of home, people with a little life experience will not feel strange. Because this word used to be all the rage, many people are proud of it, happy and dancing. Unlike today's young people, they will stare at you with ignorant eyes and say: What are the "four big things"?

The "Four Big Pieces" in 1960s and 1970s were clearly labeled as planned economy. Bicycles, sewing machines, watches and semiconductors (radios), these "four big things" will make the elderly a few treasures. It is they who have accompanied the people through a history that can make people laugh and cry. A certain life experience in their lives is inextricably linked with these "four major events" and has left an indelible mark on their minds. Because a watch used to be her dowry, and a brand-new "flying pigeon" or "forever" may make him the groom. At that time, the "Four Big Pieces" were undoubtedly the symbols of wealth, so that they became the capital that people rushed to show off. At that time, riding a bike in the street was probably the same as driving a "big rush" to the market to buy food.

Philosophers say that beautiful things created by fashion will always become ugly over time. As a symbol of fashion, "Four Big Pieces" can't escape the inevitable law of history. In 1980s, the spring breeze of reform and opening-up blew into thousands of households in China, which indicated that the era of ticket source was coming to an end. The old "Four Big Pieces" will no longer be eagerly sought after by people, but will be replaced by the birth of the new "Four Big Pieces". Black-and-white TV, refrigerator, washing machine, tape recorder-the arrival of the electronic age has greatly enriched and improved the home life of every family, giving people a fresher way of entertainment beyond 8 hours, and also making residents' vegetable baskets evergreen all year round. However, it didn't take long for the new "four big things" to enter the family, and then they turned from red to decline. Although black and white TV is good, where is its charm comparable to color TV? Besides, the world is colorful, and people want to see its true colors. The effect of the tape recorder is not bad, but it is obviously dwarfed by the "home theater". There are also home telephones, air conditioners, computers and microwave ovens ... With the advent of the 1990s, people seem to be too lazy to sum up the "four big things" while enjoying the convenience and comfort brought by high technology. New things emerge one after another, and all kinds of daily necessities are dizzying, making it difficult for people to choose which goods are closely related to you, which can be called "big items" in the true sense. Even if you do choose a few pieces, it won't be long before they are replaced by more advanced and perfect goods.

The brand-new 2 1 century is a network era, which will inject more vitality and fun into people's home life. Many things that need our efforts can be realized through the internet-work and study, visiting relatives and friends, going out shopping ... The internet gives us more time to do what we want to do. I wonder if the term "four big pieces" will still exist in the future? If yes, what are the "four big pieces" of home in the network age? Maybe there is a small family gym-because people's health can't be arranged by the internet; Maybe there should be a private car, which people use as a tool for travel and vacation; Maybe ... because the "Four Big Pieces" have an elusive connotation since their birth, but now no one will be busy with it-the distinctive historical traces are bound to disappear with the continuous improvement of people's living standards. .
