In daily study, work or life, everyone has written compositions, and they must be familiar with various types of compositions. Compositions can be divided into primary school compositions, middle school compositions, and college compositions (essays).

Still at a loss for composition?

Below is a 500-word essay on customs in my hometown that I carefully compiled (selected 10 essays). It is for reference only. I hope it can help everyone.

Hometown Customs Essay 1 "Spring Festival" is the happiest festival of the year and the most pleasant time for people. However, there are many customs in this festival.

Giving "New Year's money" is one of them.

Legend has it that there is a beast in the world called "Sui". Every year on the last day of the year, he comes out to cause trouble and specially comes to eat children, causing panic among people.

Later, a child of a family put money given by his elders under his pillow while sleeping.

In the dead of night, the terrible beast "Sui" ran out. He happened to run to that family's house. When he saw the child with thin skin and tender flesh, his mouth watered and his evil claws stretched out.

At this critical moment, the money under the pillow shone with golden light.

"Sui" screamed "Ouch" as if he was electrocuted, and ran away in despair.

People knew how to subdue Sui and imitated them one by one.

Later, giving "New Year's money" was not only to drive away the terrible "year", but also a beautiful blessing from the elders to the younger ones.

In addition to giving "New Year's money", there is also the reunion dinner that everyone attaches importance to during the Spring Festival.

The reunion dinner is different from ordinary meals. In addition to the rich dishes, it also has symbolic meaning.

For example: fish symbolizes "abundance every year", rice cakes symbolize "step by step promotion", taro and yuba symbolize "wealth", these symbols simultaneously express people's best wishes for a better life.

When having a reunion dinner, every relative must be present and no one can be missing.

The elders should also toast one by one, and the younger generations should also toast one by one, expressing the elders' ardent expectations for the younger generations and the younger generations' respect for the elders.

I like the Spring Festival because it not only lets me know many different customs, but also brings together relatives and friends from far away, making the blood and family ties between each other even stronger.

Hometown Customs Essay 2 When the New Year's bell rings, firelight bursts out of the yard of every house, reflecting the sky red and people's beaming faces. This is our unique custom of the Spring Festival.

- Light up the fire.

The "point" for lighting the fire is also very particular. It must use golden wheat straw.

Grandpa always cleans his hands when picking wheat straw every year, and solemnly says in his thick local accent, "golden and bright, there will be a good harvest next year." On the thirtieth night, my father always picked the wheat straw.

Wheat straw and purchased firecrackers are placed one by one in the courtyard. It is euphemistically called the "Five-petal Plum Blossom Array". In fact, wheat straw is placed in the center, and five fireworks are used in a circle around it to resemble the five-petal plum blossom.

.

When the New Year's bell rang, fires were lit in the yards of each house. As soon as the fire appeared, it also ignited the surrounding fuses. Fireworks and firecrackers also went up to the sky, exploding blooming viburnums in the sky. It was so graceful.

The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and heavier.

Asked why I ordered this vigorous fire?

Whenever she mentioned this, grandma always used her unique loud voice and shouted, "Okay, it's not that old stove, he's old and confused, and he doesn't know where his own door is."

The old stove leader she talks about is of course the Kitchen God. After sending the Kitchen King away on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, at the two-year mark, she has to bring the Kitchen God back.

But there are so many people living in each house, where can I find my own home?

So there was a lot of fire and a cannon was put up as a beacon to signal to the Stove Lord that he could find a place easily!

A prosperous fire—burning away the worries of the old year and igniting the beauty of the New Year!

Here I wish the teacher good health, all the best, and the students will succeed in their studies!

Hometown Customs Essay 3 In my hometown, different regions have different customs for celebrating festivals, and our customs are not inferior to other regions!

Take the Spring Festival, the closest and most festive festival to us, for example!

During the Spring Festival in our hometown, we celebrate it in full swing, buying meat, sugar, and stocking up on new year’s goods. We’re afraid we’ll be late and won’t have anything to choose from.

There are also customs such as making steamed buns, killing roosters, and worshiping the prince.

But don’t you know, this needs to be done on different days!

In my hometown, the Spring Festival is very particular. You should do exactly what you should do every day. Doing more or less is afraid of breaking the customs.

For example, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, if you need to "hair your face", you must "hair your face". Anything less or less will not work.

There are also Spring Festival couplets that must be posted. If you don’t, the “blessings” will not come and there will be no New Year flavor.

There is also eating dumplings, which symbolizes reunion and good luck. Dumplings are also a must during the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, everyone stays up all night, and children receive lucky money and say blessings to their elders.

The next day, people drop by to send gifts and wish their loved ones happiness, health, talent, and progress in the new year.

In our village, there will still be "meetings".

That is, everyone comes out to set up stalls, and some people go to the "meeting".

There were many children at the "meeting" whose eyes lit up when they saw it: sugar paintings, cotton candy... Not only were there snacks, but there were also noodle stalls!

There were also many people selling toys, clothes, jewelry, and paintings. It was full of New Year flavor and everyone was beaming with joy.

It was very lively, with people touching shoulders and toes touching heels.
