My View of Lunar New Year
When talking about the source of the Lunar New Year, we"ll date back 3 000 years when people celebrated the passing of a peaceful year and welcomed a new one.
There are many conventional customs in the Lunar New Year. The most significant meal of the year is the reunion dinner that is eaten on New Year"s Eve with members of the extended family. People who work or study in other places will endeavor to return home in time for it. The reunion dinner indicates the supreme importance of the family in Chinese culture. It also strengthen the sense of togetherness and cohesion.
However, along with economic globalization, exotic customs and cultures are eroding bit by bit. More and more people perceive that the New Year traditions and customs are out of step with modern lifestyle. It is not novel for whole families or extended families to go away during the New Year. Some people who dislike being visited by relatives and friends would even seek temporary refuge in a local hotel. With laws of forbidding fireworks and firecrackers putting in force, most of the cities celebrate the New Year quietly.
As far as I am concerned, the Lunar New Year will gradually lose its significance even if it can survive modern living. As time goes by, the Chinese New Year will become more and more common and fewer people regard it as important as before. Perhaps modern Chinese do not celebrate it any more.
