We emphasize the protection of China's traditional culture, and there is nostalgia in traditional culture. Nostalgia is a unique complex of Chinese people's love and nostalgia for their hometown. It is a beautiful and natural cultural concept. The more society changes and the more impetuous it becomes, the more precious this complex becomes. Nostalgia is also a kind of root-seeking consciousness. Remembering nostalgia, remembering the beautiful childhood, remembering the beautiful yearning, is to remember our roots. Each of us is a leaf in our hometown. No matter how far this leaf falls, it can never escape the meaning of the big tree to the leaf. A person always has the veins of his hometown, the blood of his hometown, and his DNA that can never be changed. Each person can also be said to be the incarnation of each village. They go out and scatter everywhere, but they will not lose the village.
