Chinese Lunar New Year Is Coming Soon

Chinese Lunar New Year : Still A Time for Family Gathering In Modern China

 

The Spring Festival, Chinese Lunar New Year, China’s most significant holiday of the year, has more than 4,000 years of history. It is the grandest and the most important annual event for Chinese people. Dated back to Shang Dynasty (17th – 11th century BC), the festival used to fight against the monster “Nian” who liked eating children and livestock. The monster was afraid of red color and loud sound.

Therefore, people decorated their houses in red and set off firecrackers to expel it. In modern times, Chinese Lunar New Year is still a time for family gathering and the longest public holiday as well.   However, the old ways of spending the New Year no longer meet the needs of young people, who have created various new ways to celebrate the traditional holiday. Some young families prefer to spend 7-day spring festival on travelling with friends to breathe different air and see different world, some would like to go to countryside to join in traditional Chinese New Year celebration while traditions are not kept well in metropolitans, and the most people still love to be back to parent’s house for family gathering. In today’s China, population mobility is a new normal, in which scenario it is difficult to have a big family reunion dinner. Thanks to high speed trains, airlines and highways, modern transportations shorten the journey home.

He clearly explained that overall upgrading of agriculture emphasizes on improving quality and efficiency, industry convergence, and the creation of new industry.

And all-round progress of countryside, based on the basic operating system of rural areas, is to fulfill intensive and organized agricultural production, promote infrastructure construction and public services, and improve governance and civilization of township. In addition,comprehensive development of farmers focuses on providing comprehensive public services and development opportunities to farmers, assisting famers in breaking barriers which hamper population mobility, and efficient allocation of resources.
