Degradation of CNY ?
Has CNY lost its traditional values?
As we celebrate the year of the tiger (hence the picture),I pose this question, how different was your celebrations when you were young and now?
Has the holiday lost most of its tradition? Generations before us,Singaporeans celebrated the festive holiday by donning on red clothes,firecracks,preparing new year goodies,decorating homes with red articles (especially the inverted fu )and visiting many relatives.
However in the current generation, we merely show up in whatever clothes we deem suitable, with decorations and goodies easily purchase at any supermarts and visiting every relatives in a single day.
Where are the days where we take our time celebrating the new year on the few days of festivity? Now I see more chinese teenagers are working on the 2nd day of CNY. Has the idea of obtaining more money gotten into our heads?
What will happen in the future for CNY? Will more Singaporeans think CNY as a mere public holiday that will phase by and forget the real meaning of it? (which is to reflect on our past and what we believed)
