Besides the nationwide festive revelry, the Spring Festival is another chance to witness and reflect on the waning of tradition, says an editorial in thepaper.cn.
Spending the Lunar New Year with family members is viewed by many as a traditional custom. However, a lot of New Year traditions that used to be deeply stamped in their memory have vanished with people's rapidly changing lifestyles.
For example, lantern shows and visiting relatives and friends are still popular practices, but that cannot hide the fact we have lost and are losing many of our Spring Festival traditions.
