The winter wind blows, and the leaves on both sides of the road fall one after another. Although it is very cold, people's hearts are very hot, because the Spring Festival is coming. The streets are full of festive atmosphere, and red couplets and pictures are posted everywhere; Red lanterns and cartons are hung everywhere. Red has always been the most festive color in China. When you look at it, you will feel warm in your heart

Everything is traditional, but ...

Only couplets are no longer handwritten; Maps are no longer cut by people; Lanterns are no longer lit with fire; The carton was folded effortlessly. Everything is uniformly printed from the modern printing house, almost as neat, as beautiful and as beaming.

However, some people are dissatisfied. Many people pursue "tradition" and atmosphere. It is said that this Spring Festival has no flavor of China, and it abandons the customs of China.

Is that so? Stepping on firecrackers that just burst the petals of red paper, smelling the lingering smell of fireworks and looking at the joy on everyone's face, I knew I had the answer.

The answer is no, there is no such thing as forgetting your own customs.

Question: Is modernity contrary to tradition? Is it necessary to go back to the past if you want tradition? The so-called tradition refers to the cultural and spiritual connotation of a country and a nation. Festivals are a form of cultural connotation, and the decorations in festivals are only the minimum details. More importantly, the details are getting more and more perfect and innovative. This kind of Spring Festival embodies the healthy appearance of continuous innovation and progress without losing customs. Such progress and change are what we really need.

However, if we only deliberately and rigidly "maintain customs" in form, although it seems to be an act of protecting our spiritual culture and customs, it is actually a kind of imprisonment for spiritual civilization. Moreover, the longer time goes by, the single and unchanging Spring Festival will surely become a pure form, which will numb people's self-spirit. Losing spirit is the most serious and costly loss of tradition. Moreover, how can a society that blindly pursues returning to the past make great strides?

Fireworks and firecrackers are set off every year to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. It can be seen that there is an innovation in China's customs. Then, this kind of Spring Festival is actually the most traditional Spring Festival.

This year's New Year, SMS or email greetings have become very common. With the rapid development of information technology, distant relatives and friends can bless each other in this traditional festival. Although, this is not as kind as a visit, the ancients sent goose feathers thousands of miles away, so now we are in Wan Li, thousands of miles apart. Some relatives and friends who are far away in foreign countries have also received condolences from their hometown through high technology, and people at home have been blessed by their relatives living in foreign countries because of the rapid development of science and technology.

It can be seen that tradition and development are originally complementary. Without new progress and development, how can traditional customs be better passed down?

In this modern and traditional Spring Festival, a traditional and progressive China has beckoned tomorrow. ...
