In a great sense, population mobility is manifested in the annual Spring Festival travel rush peak. Spring Festival travel rush is one of the most complex and meaningful ecological phenomena in China society. The large-scale population movement during the Spring Festival is a unique embodiment of China's unique cultural tradition in the present era. Spring Festival travel rush peak phenomenon is a unique phenomenon in human history, which is of great significance to the transformation of China from a traditional society to a modern society, and is a great force to promote the economic and social development and changes in China.
Spring Festival is the product of China's agricultural society and culture. Plowing in spring and sowing in summer and harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, while winter is a time to sum up one year's work, look forward to the future, enjoy life and spend time with family, and it also breeds and creates a series of cultural achievements such as China's traditional ethics, literature and art, but the significance of the Spring Festival has been degraded to the extreme. When China is moving towards industrialization and modernization, a unitary agricultural society has been replaced by a dual urban-rural society.
Most people in this mobile army come from rural areas or remote towns. They are the hope to change the poverty and backwardness of families and hometown, and also the main force of urban economic and social development. The relatively low-cost and high-quality surplus labor force is one of the main forces of China's current economic development, and it is also a big bargaining chip to attract foreign investment. This mobile army is changing itself while changing the city. They have exercised their abilities, broadened their horizons, increased their knowledge, accumulated capital income, and brought these modern urban consciousness and life concepts back to their families and hometowns, subtly changing rural areas and poverty-stricken areas. In this process, it is more important to bring the awareness of social change to rural areas and backward areas, laying the foundation for the bottom-up transformation of China society.
Of course, people have also made great hardships and efforts in the process of mobility, which has also brought new difficulties and challenges to the management and comprehensive development of the city. Whether this problem can be solved smoothly is related to the speed, breadth and depth of China's economic and social progress. Therefore, it is an attitude and practice that meets the needs of the times to treat Spring Festival travel rush positively and solve the difficulties and problems in the process of population mobility constructively, and it is also a severe test of the wisdom and ability of the China government and society. Large-scale population movement shows that the new situation of China's transition from a developing country to a developed country has begun.
