2.1Feb. 25th, a 600-word composition of Meizhou Hakka Spring Festival custom, named "Entering the Year Frame". Two days before the New Year's Eve, every household should respect the Kitchen God, that is, send the Kitchen God to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor. Of course, there is no kitchen god in ordinary families now, but there are also kitchen gods on the stoves of rural people. It is said that the Kitchen God is the supervisor sent by the Jade Emperor to monitor the good and evil on earth, so everyone respects the Kitchen God. Sending the kitchen god is generally presided over by housewives, and the sacrifices to worship the kitchen god must use things like whole grains and candy; Whole grains suggest that the kitchen god will talk more about the harvest of human grains when he goes to heaven. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother would twist incense and whisper, "A cup of green tea with three incense sticks will be sent to the kitchen." Kitchen God speaks well in heaven and comes down to earth with good luck every day. "It is said that every family sends a kitchen god on a different day, and people of all colors are different. Generally speaking, the difference is: official three, people four, "turtle" five or six, that is, official twenty-three and people twenty-four. As for the dirty person who is a "bastard", that is twenty-five or twenty-six. This is an ancient rule. We Hakkas are probably all from official backgrounds, and the cookers were delivered on the 23rd.
Since the kitchen god was sent to heaven, the old people are not allowed to swear casually at home and try not to say unlucky words. If you want to repair the house, you can start work at any time without choosing a date after the new year. Generally speaking, on 25th and 26th, everyone does a general cleaning, and on 27th and 8th, they steam buns and make cakes. In addition to making it for the whole family to enjoy, the woman's family always brings some candy and cakes as gifts when she transfers to her sister's house. It will also be used to entertain guests and express sweetness.
On New Year's Eve, every family will kill chickens and ducks, and every family will give several gifts of three kinds of fruits. In addition to ancestor worship, temples like Tudiebogong also go to worship. Posting Spring Festival couplets in the morning, the most solemn thing is to worship Gong Zu on New Year's Eve afternoon. Men, women and children gathered in the house and in front of the shrine in Gong Zu to burn incense and worship. This time can be said to be firecrackers. After New Year's Eve, the whole family celebrated with a reunion dinner. After dinner, all family members can get a red envelope from their parents, also called "lucky money".
Since ancient times, Hakkas have had the ethos of "frugal housekeeping" and the concept of compassion and abstinence from killing, so they don't eat wine and meat at the first meal on the first day of the New Year's Day, that is, they are vegetarians. After breakfast, the old people are used to burning incense in the temple, so the incense in the temple is strong, and everyone prays for the gods to bless the peace and happiness of the new year.
Go back to my mother's house on the second day of the lunar new year. I have been with my relatives since the third grade. I like to eat seven kinds of dishes on the seventh day, hehe ~ ~ But Hakkas usually go out on the fifth day, and it's the New Year ... Lantern Festival should not be regarded as the New Year, when there will be lion dances and jiaozi.

4. The composition of Meizhou Folk Culture has more than 600 words. In the traditional Meizhou, the common people retain the worship of the local water god, with the totem belief of the ancestors.
The local deities of water mainly include "immortal grandmothers", Meixi Wang Gong, Wang Long, Shui Kangbo Gong and so on. Temples or shrines are distributed in villages and villages in mountainous areas, and belief circles and sacrificial circles of different sizes are formed by village communities or clan settlements. [2] There have been monographs on Wang Chongxin and Duke Meixi [3] and [4], so I won't repeat them here.
Here are some local water gods, such as "fairy uncle, fairy grandmother". 1996 during July and August, the author found that there were "immortal grandmothers" believers in Xinpu Town, Jiaoling County and Songkou Town, Meixian County on both sides of Meijiang River.
First, I visited xinpu town. At that time, with the help of Mr. Lin Qingshui, I visited the Lin ancestral hall (located in Shangnan Village of the town). However, when I saw the "gods of immortals and uncles" enshrined on the wall on the left side of the temple gate, I immediately visited the leader of the Lin family. Later, when I visited Songkou Town, Meixian County, I found the same folk custom phenomenon in Chichangtang, Huangjiadaiwu, Guanping Village.
Later, I went back to school to talk to students about this matter. I heard students from Xingning County, Pingyuan County and Wuhua County say that their hometown also has similar folk beliefs. In other words, the belief of "immortal aunts and grandmothers" is quite common in Meizhou mountain area.
Meizhou used to call people engaged in the shipping industry "boatmen". The industry god worshipped by boatmen is "immortal uncle and aunt"
The shrines of "immortal uncles and grandmothers" are mostly built at the estuary or on the shore. Every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, all boatmen sailing in the same river collectively offer sacrifices to "immortal uncles and grandmothers". In addition, boatmen often invite "immortals' uncles and grandmothers" to board the boat to offer sacrifices. Their statues are set on the awning wall of the boathouse, commonly known as "Uncle Gong", and they burn incense to worship on the day of sailing and arrival, and on the first day and fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Xinpu Town is located in the middle reaches of the Grottoes River. There are more than 20 local businessmen such as Chen, Lin, Zeng and Deng, as well as businessmen and boatmen from Chaoshan counties. In the past, there were rice merchants' associations, chambers of commerce and seamen's associations. In town. Although there is no unified organization in all walks of life, there are unified sacrificial activities, that is, worship of "immortal aunts and grandmothers."
The place dedicated to "immortal uncles and aunts" is "Guo Xian Palace". Although the scale of the palace building is small, there is no statue in the shrine of the main hall, only a wooden tablet that says "the place of magical gods"
Two stone pillars stand outside the palace gate, and a long flagpole stands between them. Legend has it that "Guo Xian Palace" is the center of xinpu town's geomantic culture, because Xinpu Market is built by mountains and rivers and looks like a raft. It is said that it was tied by this flagpole that will not be washed away by the flood, and it was the "fairy uncle and aunt" who held the flagpole steady.
In other words, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is "immortal uncles and grandmothers" who protect the safety and prosperity of the new store market. On the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, businessmen and boatmen must go to Guo Xian Palace to burn incense.
Ordinary believers mainly participate in the "beginning music" after the first half of the first month of each year and the "ending music" in December, commonly known as "doing good" in the palace. When doing good deeds, the people in the four townships also join in the fun, inviting monks or nuns to chant Buddhist scriptures for entertainment, setting tables and stools, and having lunch.
According to the author's comprehensive investigation data analysis, the prototype of the local water god "immortal uncle and aunt" is a snake. The belief in "immortal aunts and grandmothers" is the relic of primitive belief in totem dragon and Qinglong in the south.
According to legend, there is a family named Zeng near the palace. Their ancestors are two brothers, and their occupation is boating. Once a boat was on its way to Chaozhou, and my brother suddenly went insane and didn't want to eat. He kept saying "my brother's aunt" and "my brother's aunt".
At this moment, a snake appeared on the boat. My brother panicked and said to the snake, "You are God, so come to my cabin. If it is a snake, I will kill it with a stick. " Just then, the snake entered the hut.
When the ship returned to the dock in xinpu town, the snake spun ashore from the cabin, climbed up the hillside along the springboard, and then climbed to what later became Guo Xian Palace to stop and coiled under a rock. My brother feeds the snake eggs every day, and the snake goes there to enjoy delicious food every day.
So, convinced that the snake is a god, the two brothers set up a small monument beside it and lit incense. Believers of the local water god "immortal uncle and aunt" were originally boatmen of fishermen, whose main functions were to protect fishermen and shipping safety; Later, believers gradually expanded to nearby villagers and increased the function of the god of wealth.
Legend has it that there is a Chen Mou in Tangfuling Village, xinpu town who is doing business in the market town, and his business is light. So he went there to burn incense and make a wish: "If you bless to make money, I will make an altar for you." As expected, Chen Mou's business is getting better and better, and he is willing to build an altar.
Then Chen Mou made a wish, "If you bless me to build a big warehouse, I will build you a palace." Later, Chen Mou dug a big coal seam and made a fortune to build a shrine.
Our grandmother Guo is a child prodigy. Guo Weichen pointed out the location and direction of the palace.
When local officials learned of the incident, they rode to stop it. Unexpectedly, on the way, the horse lost his front hoof, broke his leg and fell half to death. He thought there were immortals in the sky, so he agreed to build a palace with the title "It is a wonderful fairy to guard the spirit of Dongjiang". Later, Shenka wrote "the position of a wonderful fairy". Later, the belief circle of "fairy uncle and fairy grandmother" was further expanded and became a community god. Not only boatmen, businessmen and people from xinpu town come to Guo Xian Palace to burn incense, but also some villages and even some ancestral temples of clans. For example, on the left wall of the gate of the Lins Ancestral Hall in Nanshan Village of this town, there is a wooden shrine with a memorial tablet "The Divine Position of Famiao Immortal" on it.
It is said that Hou Mou, a businessman from xinpu town in the old society, set fire to the shop many times. Every time, Hou Mou, the store owner, would go to Guo Xian Palace to invite "immortal uncles and aunts" to pray for fire fighting and disaster relief at Bazidun with magic cards. In addition, the children of ordinary people are ill, and parents often pray for the elimination of disasters and diseases.
Every boatman also has a shrine on board. The boatman burned incense before sailing, and when he encountered heavy wind and rain on the way, he burned incense and prayed for peace. "Uncle Ren Xian" has a special anniversary, that is, the birthday of God on the 13th day of the seventh lunar month. On this day, in addition to the sacrificial ceremony, the common people held two main activities: one was to carry the "Ren Xian" tour, with high lanterns in the procession (two people carrying two big lanterns), colorful lanterns (two people carrying a long red cloth before and after), big gongs and drums, and a sedan chair with eight tones, followed by the host.
The patrol team went out of the palace along Hekou Street, then turned to Jizihang, Chaihang Street, Mihang Street and Shang Chao Guild Hall, and then returned to the palace through the police station, the new food market and the suburbs of the town. Patrol routes have been arranged.
Foreign businessmen from xinpu town also participated in this activity in Japan. For example, Chaozhou businessmen have built a "Chaozhou Guild Hall" in this town, and the Guild Hall actively participates in the activities of offering sacrifices to "immortal aunts and grandmothers" every year.
5. Third-grade traditional festival composition
Tonight's moon is particularly round, and today's moon cakes are particularly sweet. Because today is one of the oldest traditional festivals in China-Mid-Autumn Festival.
I sat on the balcony, savoring this delicious moon cake with my family, and watched the dark night gradually weave into the sky, and a looming bright moon climbed up the starry sky. Grandma told me that when I look at the moon and eat moon cakes, my eyes will become brighter. I looked at the moon and remembered the story of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. I picked up a piece of moon cake with sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing and took a bite, which seemed like a garden full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees. Even the patterns on the moon, if any, are like WU GANG cutting osmanthus and jade rabbits in my eyes. ...
This Mid-Autumn Festival, our family of three will get together, which is enough. Looking at my parents' amiable faces, I think of many families that can't be reunited. The feeling of happiness suddenly welled up in my mind. Moon cakes symbolize reunion, so I hope my family will always be round and round!
The milky moonlight spilled thousands of miles, taking my thoughts outside. I can't help thinking of my friends far away, and I wonder if they are bathed in this moonlight. Looking back on our friendship, I have a smile on my lips. A "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" is enough to express everything I want to say.
The calm moon is still smiling, sending blessings to thousands of families. "I hope that people will live for a long time and have a good scenery for thousands of miles!"

There are many opinions about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: in memory of Qu Yuan; In memory of Wu Zixu's theory; In memory of Cao E; From the three generations of summer solstice festival; The theory of exorcising evil days on the moon, the theory of national totem sacrifice in wuyue and so on. Each of the above has its own source.
According to more than 100 ancient books and archaeological studies by experts listed in Wen Yiduo's Dragon Boat Festival Examination and Dragon Boat Festival History Education, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is a totem festival held by Wuyue people in the ancient south of China, earlier than Qu Yuan. However, for thousands of years, Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so people "cherish it and mourn it, talk about it in the world, and tell it through the ages." Therefore, the theory of commemorating Qu Yuan has the widest and deepest influence and occupies the mainstream position.
In the field of folk culture, China people associate dragon boat racing and eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival with commemorating Qu Yuan.
