Since the Chinese economic reform, China's economy has developed rapidly. People's lives are experiencing consumerism, technological convenience, and fast-renewing life mode. The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) is one of the most important holidays in China with thousands of years of history. The Spring Festival is not just a feast, it is the epitome and summary of the life of each year for Chinese. If we rethink the phenomenon of the Spring Festival with Chinese history, we can discover the prominent changes in the lives of the Chinese in recent decades. The loss and evolution of traditional festival customs are closely articulated to the development of technology. More subtle changes in family structure are reflected in the contradiction between different generations. People of different ages have experienced different social conditions, they are passively and actively accepting the changes brought about by national development. Everyone is a fundamental contributor to this process.
