1. Taishun’s Spring Festival composition The Spring Festival in the south is very different from that in the north. Spending the Spring Festival in Taishun, Zhejiang, you will feel its unique charm.
According to Taishun's old rules, the Spring Festival begins almost in the late twelfth lunar month.
During the last two days of the twelfth lunar month, rural families make rice cakes, slaughter chickens and rabbits, clean kitchen smoke, clear yard garbage, wash clothes and cupboards, etc.
This creates a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
On the twenty-ninth day, people prepare rice soup to worship their ancestors.
That night, the whole family reunited and enjoyed wine and food.
New Year's Eve is so lively.
Every family has another meal at midnight, which is commonly known as "late night snack" or "wine to watch the New Year."
But in the old society, there were some indebted poor households. In order to avoid creditors' debt collection, the heads of households often went into hiding and did not dare to go home until midnight on New Year's Eve. This was commonly known as "raising bean sprouts".
On the first day of the first lunar month, young and old get up early, wear clean or new clothes, and speak auspicious words.
Fast for one day or just eat breakfast.
Breakfast dishes should have auspicious symbols, such as noodles symbolizing longevity, turnips or radishes symbolizing good fortune, and candied rice cakes symbolizing the sweetness of life.
The scene of the Lantern Festival is completely different from that of the first day of the first lunar month.
People generally prepare rice cakes, wine and food for the festival.
In Wuyang Village in Sankui, people will carry out the statue of the empress in the palace, hold flags, carry lanterns, gongs and drums to promote the event, and parade from village to village.
When passing through each village, everyone set up offerings to welcome him.
After touring three villages, they return to the palace and perform puppet shows for another three to five days.
There was also a "Hundred Family Banquet" held somewhere, and the scene was quite lively: a sea of ??people, noisy, and not even a space for an ant.
At night, fireworks will be set off there, and the sound of cannons will continue.
The fireworks are colorful and of different shapes, like butterflies playing together, so beautiful!
Sometimes, people will also put out Kongming lanterns, write their wishes inside, and put them in the sky. Maybe the wishes will come true!
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Candengmo Temple, and the Spring Festival ended on the 19th day of the first lunar month.
People went to do their own things, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more deserted. Compared with the excitement of the Spring Festival, it was very clear.
2. Colorful Taishun composition Taishun is my hometown, it is a quaint small town.
The Spring Festival in Taishun is the most valued by Taishun people and is more important than other festivals.
Taishun's Spring Festival has three characteristics: horse dancing, puppet show and hundreds of family banquets.
You have heard of dragon dance and lion dance, but have you heard of horse dance?
Horse dancing is a custom in Taishun that has been passed down for many years.
Horse dance is the same as lion dance and dragon dance. First, use bamboo to make the skeleton of the horse, then paste several layers of paper on the skeleton, and then paint it with colors.
The colors are completely different from the real horses. They are painted with very bright colors, and then painted with beautiful patterns. Finally, a bunch of wool horse tails are attached to the horse ***, and the dancing horse is completed.
.
The horse is hitched to the person's body, with the horse's head in front of the person and the horse's tail behind the person, and then the people jump up for joy.
"Once you build Wanlongda, you can keep walking..." Whenever you hear the horse dancing song and see the horse dancing people coming out, people will definitely be surrounded by water.
The custom of performing puppet shows has been around since my grandma was a child.
Every year during the Spring Festival evening, people who perform puppet shows would set up a small stage and perform the puppet show.
These puppets were carved one by one by puppeteers, including the lively and clever Sun Wukong, the quiet Xu Xian, and the dignified Yang generals, all of them lifelike.
They only have heads, palms and feet. The other parts are replaced with beautifully made clothes.
Their hands, feet, heads, eyes, and chins are all tied with a rope, and there is someone behind them controlling it.
Every time a puppet show is performed, people come to watch it, and there are always voices of praise: "Great!" "Hit it, hit it quickly!" which makes the atmosphere more joyful.
Baijia Banquet is our most interesting local specialty in Taishun.
Baijiayan, Baijiayan, is when many, many people gather together to eat.
Indeed, there are so many people coming to eat the Baijia Banquet. Hundreds of tables are set up from the street to the end of the street, and every household contributes some food to cook the Baijia Banquet.
There are more than a dozen large pots, spatula-like pots and spoons, and several men laboriously cooking. This spectacular scene cannot be described in words.
Many people gathered together to eat, which was very lively.
Whether you know someone or someone you don't know, everyone will become friends here, talk and play together.
This kind of banquet not only makes the Spring Festival lively, but also brings us closer and promotes friendship.
