盤點開放三十年來春節的變化
記憶中的春節變了，真的變了。可是不管形式怎麼變化，春節的意義對於中國人來說都始終沒有改變。對於幸福生活和美好生活的憧憬也是不會變。人們在各自忙碌的生活中，期盼着下一個春節的到來，再次擠入返鄉的人流，回家過年。
許多禁忌，年輕人都已淡漠了，實際上，春節的許多習俗也都在變化。
Many young people pay less and less attention to taboos during the Spring Festival. In fact, many customs during the Spring Festival have also changed。
原來到過年啊，蒸饅頭，包包子，現在不是，什麼也不做，如果來了人，都想好了，上大街上，樓下就有飯館，到那兒點幾個菜。
In the past, people would steam Mangtou and make baozi for the Spring Festival. But now people do not make them anymore. If a guest comes, they will go out and have a nicemeal in a restaurant。
小時候就是吃好吃的，放鞭炮，穿新衣服。現在呢，也無所謂了吧，這個好吃的也老能吃，新衣服想什麼時候穿什麼時候穿。
In my childhood, we can enjoy delicious food, fire crackers and wear new dresses during Spring Festival. Nowadays, these things are not sospecial. We can always eat delicious food and wear new clothes anytimewe want。
現在過年其實也就是圖個團圓，圖個熱鬧。
Now to celebrate the Spring Festival is to get together and have a great time。
以前八十代初，到年末，一定要看春節晚會，這個是我們過春節的一個很重要的一項，可現在呢，這個春節晚會，電視臺的，有時也看，看挑挑，有時候就不看了。
In 1980s, at the eve of the Spring Festival, one must watch SpringFestival Party by CCTV. It was a very important part of ourcelebration. But now, sometimes we watch it on television. Sometimes,we don’t。
1983年中央電視臺第一次播出了"春節聯歡晚會"，匯聚了國內最知名的藝術家，代表着最高的節目水平。從那以後，除夕夜全家人吃着年夜飯，看春節聯歡晚會，成了一個新的習俗。春節聯歡晚會也成了每年電視臺最重視的節目之一。

爲什麼會形成這個習俗，很多專家也在研究。也許是因爲它可以通過電波把全國甚至全世界的華人聯繫在一起，營造一個"舉國同慶"的時刻，讓每個電視機前的人分享共同的快樂吧。
Why this new custom came into being? Many experts carry research on e it can connect Chinese people all over the world together and create a moment of nationwide celebration, and let everyone in front ofTV share this moment of joy。

城市的人呢，這種無論是這種工作的節奏、生活的水平有很大的提高，所以這種感覺只是說城市的人感覺到。這個年的味道越來越少了，那麼另一方面就要看農村，中國的城鄉差別還是比較大的，所以我們看到農村裏邊去過年呢，你就不感到那個年味好像是有多淡了。
This feeling is only sensed by urban citizens, no matter how fast working pace goes and how good the life condition improves. On the other hand,we should look at the countryside. There are a lot of differences between rural area and urban area in China. If we look at the celebration of the Spring Festival in the countryside, you will not feel the flavor of the Spring Festival is weakened。
