The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and I feel more and more homesick, so I can't help thinking about the Chinese New Year customs in my hometown. * * * Enjoy it as a memory. Now many young people have come out and are used to life outside, so the custom of celebrating the New Year in their hometown has been lost a lot! When I was a child, there were still many customs. At that time, the New Year was more interesting, so I said more about the customs at that time.

Let's start with making new year's goods:

Making new year's goods:

In addition to shopping for new year's goods, three to five days before the Lunar New Year's Eve, every household in our country began to make new year's goods, such as grinding bean curd (usually made into tofu series such as water tofu, oily tofu and "Rang tofu"), fried fruit (just like glutinous rice oil cakes sold on the street) and making cakes. Things like bacon and water wine were finished a month or two before the Chinese New Year.

New Year's Eve:

It's New Year's Eve, which should be regarded as the busiest time for the whole family. After breakfast, parents began to kill chickens and ducks to prepare for the New Year's dinner, and small members engaged in cleaning, posting Spring Festival couplets and New Year's pictures.

The female members of the family have basically prepared the New Year's dinner. After setting off firecrackers, the family began to have a reunion dinner. Therefore, it's called New Year's Eve

the first day of the New Year:

You have to pay attention to many things you do. According to the older generation, whether the first day is happy and peaceful indicates whether the new year is smooth and profitable.

Breakfast is also very particular. Generally, we eat leftovers from New Year's Eve (which means "there is more than one year"), noodles or vermicelli (which means wishing the elderly a long life and the whole family a long fortune).

We should pay attention to peace and good luck on the first day of the new year, so we should be taboo in speaking, and we should not take the word "death" or swear or quarrel.

In fact, these N-odd old "fastidious" are all customs left over by ancestors, and some superstitions are a little foolish. However, apart from those rules that are unacceptable to the younger generation, no one will deliberately change them or break them. Just like blowing out candles and wishing on a birthday, they all pray that they and their families will be safe and smooth in the coming year, and that the whole family will have a good income in the coming year. It is no harm to follow the old rules.

New Year's greetings:

In our hometown, New Year's greetings are a long-term "project" and task, occupying most of the "New Year" time. There are many relatives, basically from the first day of junior high school to the Lantern Festival, and it has to be in the process of visiting each other.

"The first day is the first day, and Jiro is the second day." In the first day, I usually pay a New Year call to my grandparents and uncles' neighbors. In the second day, I went to my grandparents' and uncles' and aunts' homes, and usually the family had to have a meal, and they had to stay overnight when they met in the evening, so it took a long time to pay a New Year call. It should be noted that it is usually the host who takes care of the children when going out to pay New Year's greetings, and the hostess has to receive the guests who come to pay New Year's greetings at home. When all relatives have come to worship, the hostess can call her sisters to go back to her family to pay a New Year call.

With the increasing contact between the younger generation and the outside world, more than N customs in my hometown have changed. In the night sky on New Year's Eve, more and more gorgeous fireworks are set off. On New Year's Eve, some people began to learn to cook jiaozi and eat wonton. At o'clock in the morning, people began to set off firecrackers, truly "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new"; New Year's greetings are no longer spent more than half a month, and it is over to string through the doors of several major relatives. And so on ...

But with the emergence of more modern culture, what should be kept has been lost. More and more adults are around the mahjong table, and no one is interested in the troupe or the dragon and lion dances. More and more children are watching TV, and watching cartoons and soap operas seems more comfortable. Fighting over trifles can be seen everywhere on the first day of junior high school, and no one cares about so many taboos ...

Customs are changing, and humanities are changing, but as long as the passion of relatives around us and the warm atmosphere at home remain unchanged, the mood of looking forward to going home for the New Year every year will remain unchanged.
