许多禁忌，年轻人都已淡漠了，实际上，春节的许多习俗也都在变化。

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.

原来过年，蒸馒头，包包子，现在不是，什么也不做，如果来客人，会带客人去餐馆吃饭。

In the past, people would steam Mantou 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 nice meal in a restaurant.

小时候过年就是吃好吃的，放鞭炮，穿新衣服。现在这些也都无所谓了，好吃的也老能吃，新衣服想什么时候穿什么时候穿。

In my childhood, we can enjoy delicious food, fire crackers and wear new dresses during Spring Festival. Nowadays, these things are not so special. We can always eat delicious food and wear new clothes anytime we want.

以前八十代初，到年末，一定要看春节晚会，这个是我们过春节的一个很重要的一项，可现在呢，春节晚会，有时看有时不看。

In 1980s, at the eve of the Spring Festival, one must watch Spring Festival Party by CCTV. It was a very important part of our celebration. But now, sometimes we watch it on television. Sometimes, we don’t.

1983年中央电视台次播出了"春节联欢晚会"，汇聚了国内的艺术家，代表着的节目水平。从那以后，除夕夜全家人吃着年夜饭，看春节联欢晚会，成了一个新的习俗。春节联欢晚会也成了每年电视台重视的节目之一。

In 1983, Spring Festival Party was broadcast on CCTV for the first time. It gathered the most renowned artists all over China and represented the highest level of a TV program. Since then, a new tradition came into Beijing. At Spring Festival Eve, the whole family will have dinner together and watch Spring Festival Party. Spring Festival Evening also becomes one of the most important TV program for CCTV.

为什么会形成这个习俗，很多也在研究。也许是因为它可以通过电波把全国甚至全世界的华人联系在一起，营造一个"举国同庆"的时刻，让每个电视机前的人分享共同的快乐。

Why this new custom came into being? Many experts carry research on it. Maybe it can connect Chinese people all over the world together and create a moment of nationwide celebration, and let everyone in front of TV share this moment of joy。

The celebration of the Spring Festival in the past contains a lot of family affection. People would get together. Now many people, many people around me all feel that, why the flavor of Spring Festival is not as strong as before?

城市的人，工作节奏快，生活水平高，尤其感觉年味越来越淡。另一方面，中国的城乡差别很大，如果我们看到农村人过春节，就不会感觉年味淡了。

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.

不管形式怎么变化，春节的意义对于中国人来说都始终没有改变。对于幸福生活和美好生活的憧憬也是不会变的。春节假期过后，人们在各自忙碌的生活中，期盼着下一个春节的到来，再次挤入返乡的人流，回家过年。
