CCTV’s View on Henan’s Scientific and Technological Innovation to Enhance the Year’s Taste
"Uncle, Happy New Year to you!" On the fourth day of Lunar New Year’s Day, in Xiaowangzhuang Village, Jiuyuan Town, Fugou County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province, Yang Xiao, who returned home from other places for the New Year, pushed open the door and said loudly.
"I haven’t seen you for a year, and I’m handsome again!" Wang Zhiping accepted the annual gift. "I know that you will get home at 11: 30, and the last hot dish has just been served, so you can open the table."
Yang Xiao was puzzled. How could he know the arrival time hundreds of kilometers away? It turned out that the 10-year-old son used his mobile phone to open the positioning function on the road and shared his position and route with his uncle.
"Now every village has access to the Internet, and everyone has used smart phones. Mobile payment and webcasting can be seen everywhere in rural areas." Wang Zhiping said and took out his mobile phone. "Look, the 5G network is very smooth."
Nowadays, scientific and technological innovation has made the Spring Festival a diversified fashion. With the arrival of the Spring Festival, Shi Yanyan’s family WeChat group, a resident of Tongqiu Street in Fugou County, has also become lively. Everyone has sent New Year greetings to each other in the group and shared their joy.
"Many relatives and friends have made short videos of New Year’s greetings, which have different styles and are very human." In the view of Shi Yanyan’s family, it is more convenient to convey love and blessings through the Internet, and the taste of the year remains unchanged.
On the first day of the first month, before dawn, Shi Yanyan got up to prepare meals for her family. After breakfast, the family will pay New Year greetings to distant relatives and friends through WeChat videos or phone calls.
"Now, the ways for people to send blessings in New Year are more diversified. Some people choose to send friends, some choose to send WeChat, and others choose video to pay New Year greetings. Using’ Cloud New Year greetings’ saves time and effort and conforms to the trend of the times." She is keen on the Internet to celebrate the New Year.
In addition to short videos to celebrate the New Year, online shopping for new year’s goods has also become a new year custom for young people. "Relatives who spend the New Year outside, as long as the mobile phone places an order with one click, can eat hometown specialties without going back to their hometown, warming their stomachs and warming their hearts." Shi Yanyan said that the changes in the way of purchasing new year goods also reflect the changes and progress of the times.
With the development of modern science and technology, New Year customs such as "cloud reunion", "cloud gathering", "cloud entertainment" and "cloud shopping" have sprung up, showing a different flavor of the New Year.
"Flexible use of science and technology means, free up creative talents, create a high-quality holiday atmosphere, and technological innovation makes the annual taste stronger." The relevant person in charge of the Fugou County Government said. (Reporter Wang Shengxi)
