中國(guó)人的“年”既神圣而又充滿歡樂(lè)，在傳承發(fā)展中承載了豐厚的歷史文化底蘊(yùn)。豐富多彩的“年俗”是每一個(gè)中國(guó)人心目中難以磨滅的記憶，是辭舊迎新的“儀式感”，也是美好祝愿的具象化表達(dá)，傳承至今，仍充滿迷人的魅力。

所謂十里不同風(fēng)，百里不同俗。不同的地域，過(guò)年的風(fēng)俗也不盡相同。文化底蘊(yùn)深厚的濟(jì)南，自然也有著自己的年俗。在濟(jì)南，一進(jìn)臘月門，人們便開(kāi)始籌劃過(guò)年事宜，謂之“忙年”。隨著過(guò)年時(shí)的喜慶氣氛充滿大街小巷，濟(jì)南特有的年俗也像一幅氣象萬(wàn)千的民俗風(fēng)情畫漸次展開(kāi)。

濟(jì)南人過(guò)年一般從“臘八”那天開(kāi)始。從這天起，祭灶、掃塵、蒸饅頭、貼春聯(lián)、掛年畫、祀祖先、燃爆竹、守歲、拜年……各種年俗活動(dòng)依次上演，表達(dá)著人們對(duì)于美好生活的祝愿與期許。

年年歲歲人相似、歲歲年年味不同。隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展，各式各樣的過(guò)年方式不斷被解鎖。年俗也在變化，有的已經(jīng)消失，有的已經(jīng)演變。臘月二十三，過(guò)小年不再辭灶；守歲變成了大家圍坐在電視機(jī)前嗑著瓜子看春晚；電子拜年的方式流行起來(lái)，微信里更是“聲色”俱全；過(guò)年期間，各大商場(chǎng)照常營(yíng)業(yè)，各個(gè)景區(qū)熱情迎客，喜迎市民游客購(gòu)物、游玩；還有越來(lái)越多的市民選擇全家到外地旅游代替回家過(guò)年，圖的是清爽自在。

在時(shí)代的演變中，人們其實(shí)早已賦予了“年”新的內(nèi)核，但不論形式如何變化，闔家團(tuán)圓、除舊迎新、祈禱平安的愿景是不變的?；蛟S這才是“年”的意義所在。
