Chinese New Year celebrations for city people are not exactly the same as those for country people. Country people have a busy New Year, while city people have a leisurely New Year.
In the countryside, the Chinese New Year is mainly a belief about family ties: in addition to offering sacrifices to deceased ancestors and ancestors, it is also about entertaining living relatives far and near with the best food and wine, and using the best food you can get. The gift is to visit living relatives near and far, that is, to watch a drama, dance yangko, play chess, and chat with the neighbors who work together on weekdays... . After the New Year, my relatives feel closer, my neighbors feel more real, and my life is more promising and exciting.
In the city, family ties are also celebrated during the Chinese New Year. City people also visit relatives and friends just like country people. Many city people also squeeze into crowded buses and trains to ride to the countryside to send affection and dignity to their parents and relatives living in the country. However, city dwellers, especially real city dwellers, spend the New Year in more of a mood - a mood of personal relaxation.
City people are not as particular about what they eat during the Chinese New Year as country people, and they spend a lot of time having fun. City people who have nothing to worry about, except for visiting their parents and parents-in-law to pay New Year greetings, almost all the rest of their thoughts are spent on their own enjoyment: those who like to play cards will make an appointment with a few card friends early and play all day and night. A little mahjong; those who like to drink, book a drinking venue with friends early and never come home drunk; those who like to hang out and have fun, plan the route in advance, go to the cinema today and the playground the next, have fun and have fun. After a year, real city dwellers are more tired than country folk, but their mood is relaxed - they had a great time!
The New Year for city dwellers is more self-contained than the New Year for country dwellers.
