Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country, which occupies an important position in many festivals, and having a reunion dinner in the Spring Festival is the most important, so there are many traditional customs, rules and taboos about eating reunion dinner in our country. Let me tell you something about it.
There are many traditional taboos for eating New Year's Eve in China: First, everyone agrees not to move chopsticks on a plate of fish on New Year's Eve, and it is a good color to have fish (surplus) every year. Second, the Spring Festival is not suitable for adults to drink soup, which means adults are always running around outside, and the soup outside is always bad. Third, a plate of fried meat with winter bamboo shoots symbolizes "rising sun". Whether you like it or not, everyone should eat a little. After the "harmonious dish" mainly fried with day lily, dried bean curd, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms and shredded pork is served, everyone should also eat a little symbolically, especially between brothers and sisters and between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as if eating this "harmonious dish" and everything will be harmonious in the coming year.
The New Year's Eve dinner lasts for two or three hours, during which the younger generation toasts the elder, and the elder also pours wine for the younger generation. By the way, if there is some targeted encouragement, red envelopes will be given to the younger generation. There is not much money in the red envelope, so it's good to have a heart. New Year's Eve is generally cooked a lot, and the big family does not burn red pots from the first day to the third day. After the New Year's Eve, there used to be no Spring Festival Gala without TV. Everyone sat quietly on the fire bucket, peeling peanuts and melon seeds that are rarely seen at ordinary times, eating fast-frozen rice candy and watching the New Year's Eve dinner with a smile. At night 10, it's time to meet the kitchen god. Adults came to the kitchen stove with the slogan "Heaven says yes, the lower bound is safe" and symbolically set off firecrackers.
There are many traditional customs of eating New Year's Eve in our country: New Year's Eve is also called "group year" or "family fun", because after eating this meal, we will bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new year, so it is also called "another year". In ancient times, people thought that the New Year's Eve dinner also had the functions of expelling epidemic diseases, exorcising evil spirits and strengthening the body. Therefore, the characteristic of New Year's Eve is that the whole family has a reunion dinner, and all men, women and children participate. For this reunion, family members or children who go out must return home before New Year's Eve. If you can't get back in time, you should leave a space on the dining table for those who haven't come back and put a pair of chopsticks to show family reunion.
In the past, New Year's Eve was usually the richest meal in a year, and it had to be cooked on New Year's Eve. There must be fish on the table, which means more money and more vegetables in the new year, and everything goes well; There must also be a bowl of braised meatballs to show family reunion.
After reading the customs and taboos about eating New Year's Eve, you must have a new understanding of eating New Year's Eve. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the New Year's Eve dinner has already gone beyond the scope of "eating", and things on the dinner table don't have to wait until the New Year. The meaning of New Year's Eve is not rice, but warmth.
Life in this world and growth in this world all originate from parents. It is our parents who give us life and nurture us to grow up. We should repay our parents' kindness all our lives.
As the old saying goes, "All virtues and filial piety come first." It means that filial piety to parents is the most important and the first virtue among all kinds of beautiful virtues of human beings. This is a natural thing for children. Our Chinese nation has had this fine tradition of respecting the elderly for thousands of years. In ancient times, the story of burying a child as a mother and abandoning an official to find a mother was enough to make people cry. Today, the story of donating a kidney to save a mother and dropping out of school as a mother is even more touching. Different times have the same theme, that is, filial piety and rewarding parents.
In fact, today, we don't need to do anything earth-shattering to honor our parents and repay them, as mentioned above. As long as we pay more attention to the little things around us and start from bit by bit, we can fully fulfill our filial piety to our parents.
I am very filial to my parents. At home, I insist on helping my parents do housework once a day and greeting them. During the holidays, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with my parents and rub their backs and wash their feet. Because of my mother's work, I don't have much time with her. But when my parents celebrate their birthdays, I will carefully prepare a gift for them to make them happy. In order to realize parents' expectations, we should study hard at school. When my parents are busy at work, I cook and do some housework by myself to lighten their burden. When my parents are sick, I will care about their health, send them water and medicine, and be caring and attentive, just as they care about me. When I quarrel with my parents, I will make some necessary concessions. When I do something wrong or have a conflict with my parents, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake and apologize to my parents. I often tell my parents a joke and tell them about my school, so that they can rest assured of my study.
Reflections on the Education of Love
This week, I spent five days reading the book Education of Love. When I finished reading this good book, I was deeply moved:
This book was written by the Italian writer Armitage. The book "Education of Love" reflects people from all walks of life and their relationships through the diary of a primary school student. Their living conditions, their different attitudes towards various things, different emotions and different disposal methods, through a simple description of life, make people feel how much human beings need to help each other, care for each other and understand each other!
The author has many friends, all lovely and sensible children. Although some are poor, some are rich, some are disabled, and some are backward in learning, the author never cares. He played happily with them, studied happily and got education from happiness and happiness. The book "Education of Love" has created seemingly unremarkable but extraordinary characters: a small bricklayer, a small blacksmith, the son of a charcoal seller, a young drummer and so on.
Do the housework
When I was studying, I enjoyed the care of my parents every day. Today I also want to do something for my family to reduce my mother's burden.
After breakfast, my parents went to work, and I also started my secret action-doing housework. I know from my mother's appearance. First of all, I washed the dishcloth, squatted on the ground and wiped the floor bit by bit. Before I cleaned the room, I was sweating and panting. Thinking that my mother has to do these chores every day, I finally realized my mother's hard work today. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and continue to wipe. Persistence is victory! After about an hour, I finally wiped the floor of every room. The floor is so bright that I am too tired to get up on the sofa. But the floor of the audience is shining, and I am very happy.
After a short rest, I saw that it was almost ten o'clock, and I started my second secret operation-helping my mother cook.
I scooped some rice from the rice bucket and put it in the basin. Then I learned from my mother's way of washing rice, rubbing rice repeatedly with my hands in the water, and when the washed water became clean, I put the rice in the pressure cooker, filled it with water (my mother once told me that the water level should not exceed my hands), covered it, opened the valve of the liquefier and started cooking. After about twenty minutes, the pressure valve of the pressure cooker began to beat. I smell the smell of rice, and the rice is finally cooked! I'm even a little excited. I quickly turned off the liquefied steam valve and sat on the sofa waiting for my mother to get off work.
After a while, my mother came back and saw the clean floor as soon as she came in. She said in surprise, "Hey, why is the floor so bright today?" "I wiped it!" I jumped off the sofa and couldn't wait to show the fruits of my labor. "Mom, come to the kitchen and have a look. There are still surprises. " Then I dragged my mother into the kitchen. "Look, I've even cooked the meal." I proudly took off the pressure valve, lifted the lid and said, "Mom, try my craft." Say, take chopsticks to put a little rice in my mother's mouth. "Hey, the rice is a little raw. You seem a little light. " I tasted it, and it was really hard. My mother told me that it would take ten minutes to put out the fire after the pressure valve jumped. Oh, I see!
Although today's rice is not as delicious as my mother's, I always see a smile on my parents' faces when I eat. My father told me that this was the best rice he had ever eaten, and my mother nodded in agreement. Their approving eyes inspired me. I think I will continue to work hard and let them eat really delicious and fragrant rice next time.
Changes in my family
From 1995 to 2002, my family changed a lot. I remember that before moving, the house area was 57 square meters, and there was only an ordinary big bed and a 14 inch small TV at home. When sleeping, three people squeeze into a bed, but there is not much money to buy another one. Besides, there is no place to put it. A family of three eats at a small round table, which is too small. This one can't open its legs, and that one can't open its arms. When watching TV, the three of us watch different channels and don't know who to listen to. There's nothing we can do. Sometimes the channel is still unclear, and there is still no way. This TV set has only 30 stations; My mother went to work by bike and came home saying she was tired. I get greedy when I watch others have motorcycles. It is inconvenient for mom to wash clothes. Sometimes my hands get red, but I still can't help washing them. Mother's hands often crack with cold. The average monthly salary of mom and dad is less than 1000 yuan.
After moving, the living conditions of the family became richer: the house area was close to 100 square meter. With a king bed, sleeping is spacious; With an extra dining table, there will be no crowding for dinner. Moreover, you can sit six or seven people; You don't have to argue when you watch TV. TV is clearer. If there are many people, you can also open the small screen and let others see something else. It changed from 14 inch to 29 inch, and the 30-channel became 100 channel. We have a new motorcycle at home, so it's easy to go home. It is hot in summer and has air conditioning. The wind speed can be as fast as you want and as slow as you want. Air conditioning not only cools, but also heats; The washing machine is fully automatic, which can wash clothes for mother, so that mother can spare more time to do other things. The annual income of parents is three times that of five years ago.
All this is inseparable from the development of social economy and the hard work of parents. I hope life will be better next year, China's economy will develop faster, and the motherland's tomorrow will be more brilliant!
Be a moral person.
In this society, there are many codes of conduct that restrict our words and deeds, and that is morality. Being a moral person is actually very simple. As long as you think carefully about everything and think more about others, morality will accompany you.
Once, my mother and I went to the bank to deposit money. There were many people in the bank. My mother and I waited in line for a long time before it was our turn. Just as we walked to the counter, an old man in his seventies suddenly tripped. At first, I thought he had left something there and took it back. Before he stood firm, he said, "How can I get the old-age insurance?"
I am unhappy. Obviously, we arrived first. How can we let him start a business first? Besides, you're an adult. Don't you understand that you come first and then arrive? But my mother seemed to let him, and without saying anything, she let her body go. My mother's behavior surprised me and made me angry. Does my mother not understand this truth? My mother seemed to see the change of my expression, quietly pulled me aside and said to me with a smile, "Are you a little unhappy?" I nodded vigorously and spoke my mind angrily. My mother's face became serious at once and said to me, "You are wrong." Although it is a rule to come first, he is an old man after all! And he stumbled, there must be something important. Respecting the old and loving the young is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation and a moral expression, so we must cut him some slack and respect him. "I just nodded. Mom's expression finally changed from serious to relaxed. "If you are an old man, are you willing to quarrel with others for such a trivial matter? "I shook my head shyly. This is, the old man's business has been finished, and he is calling us over. Then he explained to us: "I'm really sorry just now. I was in a hurry and kept you waiting!" " "I smiled and said," Never mind! This is nothing! "At the same time, I also saw my mother's approving eyes.
It can be seen that morality can also make society more harmonious, happy and happy.
But there are still some immoral things in society.
Recently, there was a big earthquake in Wenchuan, and many people gave generously. However, I saw a negative news in the newspaper: "The Olympic torchbearers in a certain area bypassed the donation box and put an empty hand next to the box without donating anything." This incident caused an uproar in the society. Yes, they have donated money, but several reporters didn't take pictures, so there was a heated discussion, including accusations, shouting and scolding. After investigation, the torchbearer set off again and walked away. This incident made the torchbearers very depressed, people were puzzled and the society was full of doubts. How can this reporter do this? I feel very angry. The media should serve the people and let them know more about society, but they reported such a news. What's the difference between reporting fake news? This is a joke about the interests of the people in the disaster area, a disrespect for the torchbearers and a serious damage to the social image! Seeking truth from facts is the basic expression of morality, but this media can't even do this morality. How to talk about credibility?
This is a negative example of morality. Through this incident, it sounded the alarm for us. Being a realistic person is the basic expression of morality, which we should follow.
Morality is the basic quality of being a man. We should defend morality, publicize morality, practice morality and be a moral person!
Morality is a pair of hands, pushing open the window blocked in the heart; Morality is a window with a beautiful sky outside; Morality is a sky, which breeds countless pure hearts. Morality is a naturally formed code of conduct in society and a standard to gain the trust of others. Some people think it is difficult to be a moral person. In fact, as long as you do it, you will find it is actually very simple. Morality means being honest and trustworthy, and not coveting things that don't belong to you.
I remember once, I went to my grandmother's house by bus to celebrate her birthday. As soon as I found a seat and sat down, I saw an old woman trembling on the bus. At this time, there was no room in the car, and her face showed a trace of disappointment. I thought to myself: should I give my seat to the old man? If I let it go, will people say I'm showing off? What if the old lady slips and falls if she doesn't give up her seat? My heart is like a little angel and a little devil: the little angel said, "Give your seat to the old man quickly and be a child who respects the old man." The little devil said, "Don't listen to her. What if you give up your seat and others say you are in the limelight? " Besides, how comfortable it is to sit here. "The little angel said," give your seat to the old man quickly. Don't teachers often say that they should respect their elders in class? " "no!" "Let!" "no!" "Let! "At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that when I was in the first grade, I found 5 yuan money on campus and gave it to my teacher. The teacher praised me as a child who never forgets money. Although it was only 5 yuan's money, it left a deep imprint on my heart ... Thinking of this, I got up the courage to say to my grandmother, "Grandma, sit here. My grandmother gratefully said to me, "What a good one. My heart is as sweet as honey. I decided to be a moral person in the future.
Morality is a collection of souls, illuminating the road of confusion in the future. The future belongs to us, so we should be a moral person and a moral China person.
Dad can't come back for a holiday this Spring Festival. In order to enrich my winter vacation life and improve my perceptual knowledge of life, my mother decided to take me to my father's construction site for an extraordinary Spring Festival. On February 5th, we set off from Hefei and started my happy journey. Although there are many people on the bus, I am still very happy and excited. Along the way, we took the bus to the train, passed through Anhui Province, Hubei Province and Hunan Province, and came to Huaihua City, Hunan Province, which is located at the junction of Hunan Province and Guizhou Province. Huaihua City is an ancient city, where there is the hometown of Shen Congwen-Phoenix City, and Zhijiang County under its jurisdiction is the surrender place of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. It is also the starting point of the Chongqing-Huaihua Railway, the key project of China's western development.
I have been to many construction sites for the Spring Festival as long as I can remember. He has been to Heze, Shandong Province on Hengshang Line and Fuyang, Anhui Province on Beijing-Kowloon Railway. This time I took the Huai Yu Railway to Huaihua City, Hunan Province. In order to follow my father to the construction site ahead to pay New Year greetings to the workers' uncles, we first traveled along Panshan Highway, passing through Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing, and made a long journey to Xiushan County, Chongqing. Along the way, the mountains along the roadside are connected into one piece, and the scenery is beautiful. I am also very excited. I forgot the bumps on the winding mountain road and stared at the scenery on both sides of the road. I saw many novel scenery and customs along the way; I saw the unique costumes of local ethnic minorities; A natural waterfall formed naturally. Some waterfalls are small, while others are very swift. The water in that river is crystal clear and really beautiful. I looked at the blue sky, peaks, green vegetable fields and neat rows of trees with excitement. The branches are covered with strings of icicles, which are crystal clear and bright, more beautiful than fog pine. Sometimes some hot air comes out of the distant Woods, like a sea of clouds, hazy. Looking at those beautiful scenery, I really want to find a boat, sit in it and feel the taste of "traveling alone in the illustrated world"
The climate in mountainous areas is cold and humid, and it often rains. No, the muddy narrow road has become slippery because of the continuous rain and snow. After arriving at Xiushan, we changed to the rail car and rushed to the bridge. Although it's New Year's Eve and it's raining in Mao Mao, the sound of paving and bridging is rumbling, and the workers' uncles still stick to their jobs and work hard. At this moment of reunion, they gave up the time to reunite with their families in order to work and take care of everyone. Seeing their hard work, I understand why my father has no weekends and holidays, and why he has little time to come back to visit relatives. He can't stay for a few days when he comes back, and he has to go back. Here, I saw the Yuanliangshan Tunnel, the longest tunnel in the history of newly-built railways, with a total length of 1 1 km. I also saw something I had never seen before: the station was built in a tunnel. The camper where the workers live is half in the tunnel, cold and wet, and half on the bridge. This kind of camper is called "caravan" in mom and dad's unit. Wherever the tracks are laid and the bridge goes, the campers will follow. In winter, Leng Xia is hot. I got on the camper with curiosity and found that they had transformed every carriage into a warm little home, and the beds were neat. Although they are far away from the bustling urban areas, they stick Spring Festival couplets and a "blessing" on the door of each carriage to create a festive atmosphere.
Although the New Year's Eve dinner was not as rich as at home, they did their best. Workers' uncles from different regions sat around talking and laughing without any resentment. Sometimes they will see messages of blessing from their families, and sometimes they will hear their telephone greetings to their families. It seems that they are used to this kind of life.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve, I came to visit his father's brother, came outside the door and set off firecrackers happily. I saw my brother playing "Spaceman". As soon as he lit the fuse, the astronaut flew high! Not to be outdone, I immediately took out the bomber, the big butterfly and the little bee. First, I lit the bomber. The bomber flew quite high, too, but it suddenly exploded as soon as it flew into the air. "ah!" I cried, "Plane crash!" My brother looked at me with a strange smile, as if to say, "Hey, hey, it's still a bomber. In my opinion, it is like a self-destructive machine. " I was angry and lit the "little bee", but the "little bee" didn't fly, but flew forward. My second monk was puzzled and secretly scolded, "Damn it." I couldn't help looking at my brother, who was still smiling at me, as if to say, "Give up, you can't compete with my' astronaut'." Although the environment in this place is very poor, I still feel very happy. Because I am the first passenger on the Huai Yu railway line. I am very proud of this.
On the seventh day, my father led my mother and me to Qili Bridge in Zhijiang, Hunan, and visited the Victory Surrender Memorial Hall in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, People's Republic of China (PRC), where China surrendered in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This surrender field consists of surrender field, surrender memorial hall and anti-Japanese war victory memorial hall. After reading these, I am very educated and know that our life is hard-won, so we should cherish the good times now.
In a blink of an eye, this winter vacation will be over. Looking back on my winter vacation life, I think it was really an unusual holiday!
