Why is the Spring Festival less lively than before?

Today's Spring Festival is not as lively as before, mainly because of the following three points: 1. It is said that fireworks and firecrackers are forbidden in many places. On the first day of the lunar new year, Nian beast will come to the world to be destroyed, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, he is afraid of fire and sound. In order to drive away Nian beast, people have developed firecrackers and fireworks, which can not only drive away Nian beast, but also make people feel happy. Gorgeous fireworks bloom in the sky, although it is only a moment, but the moment of illuminating the whole shady scene can bring dazzling light to people and illuminate people's future in the new year. However, air pollution is getting more and more serious, and all behaviors that will destroy air quality are strictly prohibited. As early as a few years ago, setting off fireworks was forbidden in many places, fewer and fewer people set off fireworks, and the noise of the New Year no longer existed. Before, from New Year's Eve to the morning of New Year's Day, the crackling firecrackers never stopped. But now there is no sound at all, and there is no atmosphere of Chinese New Year. 2. The human touch is getting weaker and weaker. Before the Chinese New Year, every household will visit and chat, and an endless stream of neighbors, relatives and friends will come to pay New Year greetings, and the lively atmosphere will be highlighted. But in the past two winters, the epidemic has always been repeated. In order to ensure people's safety, many places advocate celebrating the New Year on the spot to prevent the spread of the virus. Therefore, it is normal not to go home and visit during the New Year, but it also makes the atmosphere of the original New Year more and more depressed and the feelings between people more and more numb. The New Year's Eve dinner is not much different from before. In the past, every family would prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Because of the unsatisfactory social development, big fish and meat that can't be eaten at ordinary times will be bought back to make New Year's Eve dinner, and a table of rich food can provide a warm experience for the whole family. This is also one of the main reasons why many children looked forward to the New Year in the past. Meat that can't be eaten at ordinary times can be eaten on New Year's Eve, and all kinds of meat are available. But now people's lives are getting better and better. Even if there is no Chinese New Year holiday, they can buy meat according to their own preferences. Big fish and big meat are no longer the necessary ingredients for special New Year's Eve, and children are getting used to eating meat, no longer looking forward to the New Year as before, and the New Year's Eve is beginning to be bleak. In addition, fewer and fewer people have gone home for the New Year in the past two years, and fewer and fewer people have dinner around the table, and the lively atmosphere no longer exists. 4. The rural population loss is more serious. Most young people in rural areas want to go out. Because the opportunities outside are far better than in the countryside, the hollowing out of villages is becoming more and more serious. Rural primary schools face closure every year, not because of the lack of school conditions, but because the number of students is getting smaller and smaller, so that the development prospects are clear at a glance. More and more rural people buy houses in cities, but fewer and fewer people in their hometown, so the atmosphere of the New Year is also cold. 5. Relative to others, there is a lack of effective communication between relatives and friends. When people's lives are getting better and better, the simplicity in their hearts will also be affected by interests. No longer pursue the basic problem of food and clothing, but pay more attention to spiritual pursuit. Seeing that the quality of life of other families has been greatly improved, some people will be jealous and communicate with each other less often. Because of blind comparison, many relatives have torn their faces, and the originally lively Spring Festival is also boring.
