During the Chinese New Year, the cold wind froze people's little hands, but they couldn't freeze the gongs and drums and firecrackers in the streets, and they couldn't freeze people's fiery enthusiasm.
On the morning of New Year's Day, people were woken up by the sounds of gongs and drums and the happy shouts in the street, and I was no exception. When I woke up in the morning, I heard the sound of gongs and drums from the village brigade and the slogan of yangko dancing.
Dressed up, the yangko team has already started when we go to the street. Walking in the front are people who walk on stilts. Although they are forty or fifty years old, as soon as they put on their beautiful clothes and step on stilts, they walk into the crowd, just like boys in their twenties and thirties, and they are full of youthful colors.
Followed by the yangko dance, some aunts in the village, little old. All of them joined the team, dressed in pink and green clothes, with makeup on their faces, striding across and twisting the yangko. The yangko in the village pays attention to the combination of running and twisting. They twist in the running, the women twist their waist and shake their shoulders, and the cloth and satin in their hands are tossed, which looks lively and generous. The man's upper shoulders shake, which adds a masculinity to the women's team, handsome and handsome. The yangko team is composed of the villagers' aunts and grandfathers, all in their fifties. But here, no one thinks so. Instead, they look like young people with happy smiles on their faces. They wriggled and shook their shoulders, so that we couldn't help but want to participate.
This is my mother pushing my brother and me into the team at once, only to see my brother shaking his head with the music, making the people next to him laugh. I am also embarrassed in the team. This is my grandmother saying at the back of the team, "Twist it quickly!" I turned around and saw, oh, my grandma was here, too. I slipped behind my grandma with my cousin, learned grandma's movements, followed the rhythm of music, and twisted the yangko at the back of the team. Twisting and shaking, I feel that my troubles are also shaking away, and my mood is also cheerful.
Behind the yangko team followed by the lion and dragon dancers, only to see that the dragon walked around people again and again, and occasionally went into the crowd to play with us. That lion is very active. One minute it jumps from there, and the next it jumps out. On New Year's Day, people perform hard, just for the sake of people's laughter and the "Yangko Dance on New Year's Day!" The custom is passed down.
After the end of the year, maybe this year is different from next year, but the custom of this hometown will not change, it will accompany people to spend year after year!
Hometown Custom Composition 2 Making hairpin is an essential activity in my hometown during the Spring Festival, and every household has started to prepare or have already started to do it since December 28th of the lunar calendar. "Zan" is the most distinctive food in western Guangdong, and it is the most famous in Gaozhou, which is somewhat similar to Ciba in the north. The main materials are glutinous rice flour, mung beans or soybeans, dried shrimps, peanuts, fungus, sesame, sausage or ham, spices, etc., and it is made into a semi-peach-like shape, so it is also called "Shoutao Zan".
Early in the morning, grandma bought the materials, stir-fried them in a pot with onions, pork, mushrooms and fungus, and added a little oyster sauce, and the stuffing was fried. Grandma cooked a pot of boiling water, poured it on glutinous rice flour, and then rubbed it vigorously with her hands. This rice flour will become more and more elastic and chewy. All the preparations are done. Let's start. Pull out a small dose, rub it round, flatten it, then sculpt it with your hands, put the skin in your hand, scoop out a little of the stuffing just fried, then fold it back in half like wrapping jiaozi, and pinch it tightly, thus making a good one. Although it is simple, it is also exquisite: the stuffing must be full, not thin, and more stuffing should be filled, otherwise it will be ugly if it is too flat, but it should not be too full, and it will not come back in half. It is best to put the stuffing just right, so that the package will look good. This is the soup pot.
In addition to cooking soup, grandma also made a kind of sweet glutinous rice with shredded coconut, peanuts and sesame seeds. It tastes sweet, which is also the children's favorite, and symbolizes the sweetness of life.
Friend, do you like eating glutinous rice? Welcome to Gaozhou!
In a blink of an eye, it is the last time of the year, New Year's Eve of the Spring Festival. My hometown is in Qianshen Lake. On this day, every household is decorated with lanterns. Everyone's face is filled with happy and happy smiles.
On New Year's Eve, people began to put couplets on the doors early in the morning and put the word "Fu" on the doors of houses. Because the couplets and blessings are posted, the beautiful wishes are expressed neatly, and the festive atmosphere is added to the festival. I also got a blessing on the door of my room. I put the blessing upside down, which means I am blessed.
After that, every household smelled of chicken, duck and fish, and our family was no exception. We also started to make New Year's Eve dinner, but we were not idle outside the kitchen. My mother took out a few pieces of red cardboard from the smoking session, took out some scissors and a paper-cutting encyclopedia, suggesting that we cut paper together! Everyone agreed that it was not easy to start cutting the paper-cut encyclopedia, but I still cut it here and there for a while, but I was not angry and cut it patiently! Sure enough, everything comes to him who waits. I successfully cut out the double happiness, and others cut it very well. We are very happy.
After a long time, it's finally time for dinner. The dishes on the table are fish, shrimp, ribs and jiaozi. Just looking at it made my mouth water "DC three thousands of feet". I immediately picked up chopsticks and wolfed them down, just like people who hadn't eaten for days, and my grandparents gave me a big red envelope at the dinner table. After eating delicious food and having a red envelope, my heart is as sweet as honey.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, my family sat by the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala. One program kept me busy, among which I liked watching sketches best, which made me laugh.
There is another activity in this evening, that is, you can't go to bed before twelve o'clock, which is really a problem for people in the morning and evening.
My hometown is in Yangxin County, Hubei Province, and the customs here are somewhat different from other places. As the saying goes, "a thousand miles of different winds and a hundred miles of different customs", now let me introduce our customs and habits for the New Year here.
The annual Spring Festival is an eternal traditional festival of our Chinese nation. Although the people of the whole country live the same festival, the way of celebrating the New Year is different in every place. We have been busy here since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.
Before the winter solstice, people dug up the sweet potatoes from the ground, then washed them all clean, processed them into white and fine sweet potato powder, and then packed them in jars or clean bags for the New Year.
When it snows, people are trapped at home and can't go out to work, so they make fragrant and soft rice cakes at home. Although making rice cakes is laborious, the making process is full of infinite laughter. Every time I hear someone mention the rice cake, I can't help but think of its steaming when it comes out of the pot, its sweetness and delicacy, and the happy smile of the family when they taste the rice cake. The task of making rice cakes in my family every year is mainly done by grandparents. First, put the rice flour into a big basin and knead it with proper amount of water, and knead it into small spherical preparations. Then put it into a mold and press them into various shapes, such as round, fish-shaped and peach-shaped ... Finally, put the rice cakes of various shapes into a big steamer for steaming. Cages of steaming rice cakes are poured on the dustpan, which makes people like it when they look at it, drool when they smell it, and take a mouthful of annual flavor. But we can't eat more because grandma says it's for guests who come to visit the New Year.
When the rice cake is ready, people pour the whole grains into a pot filled with sand and stir-fry them to make all kinds of snacks. We have all the staple foods and snacks for the Spring Festival. It's the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Every household has cleaned up the inside and outside of their home. There are still a few days before the Spring Festival, and everything is ready.
This day finally arrived, everyone posted red couplets at the door, and the family sat around the table to have a reunion dinner happily, officially welcoming the atmosphere of the New Year. This is our custom for the New Year.
My hometown is in Guizhou, which is a beautiful place surrounded by green hills, with fresh air and beautiful scenery.
My home is surrounded by green hills, the most famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. Besides the beautiful scenery here, all kinds of customs are very interesting in our local area. Like New Year's Day and Lantern Festival. On the day before the new year, every household will put up red couplets; A majestic door god; All kinds of "Fu" paper-cuts. On New Year's Day, people will spread a long string of firecrackers from the mountain to the foot of the mountain (only four meters long) and then light them. I heard my grandmother say that this is to celebrate the New Year with the mountain gods in the mountains, and pray for the blessing of the mountain gods, so that the fields in the coming year will be fruitful. On this day, people will also make cakes, make rice cakes and eat longevity dishes. The whole street is very festive, which undoubtedly reveals people's attention to the New Year and its importance to people. After the New Year, it is another climax-Lantern Festival.
Yuanxiao is on our side, and it is also a day that elders attach importance to. In our country, "Yuan" is homophonic with "Yuan", so on this day, the elders want to have a family reunion. On this day, the elders will also make dumplings themselves. They will wrap all kinds of stuffing in the dumplings, and they will also wrap some other things in the dumplings, such as money, longan, peanuts, etc. Peanuts indicate hard work and good results. When the longan is full, it means that the family is round and round; Money, I hope that the financial resources will roll in the coming year. On the Lantern Festival, fish will be raised and released after one day. Why not raise it in the new year? There is a "surplus" in raising fish every year in the New Year. My elders told me that eating fish in the New Year gives me a "surplus". At that time, raising fish will offset the two "surpluses" and there will be no happiness. Therefore, in the Lantern Festival, it has always been a good blessing, and it has given Lantern Festival a new meaning.
Every place has different customs, which really means "different winds in a hundred miles, different customs in a thousand miles." This sentence.
Some people like the Spring Festival because it is the most lively. Some people like Mid-Autumn Festival because it is round and round. My favorite is the Dragon Boat Festival, because you can make dumplings and eat them.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother got up early to buy materials for dumplings, which need leaves, candied dates, meat, glutinous rice and so on.
When mom came back, she bought a bag on the left and a bag on the right. What a lot! I quickly helped my mother and put the materials on the table bag by bag. Washing zongzi leaves, washing rice and cutting meat are all ready, and my mother began to make zongzi. Mother skillfully wrapped a zongzi.
I put the wrapped zongzi into the basin, but one of them slipped out of the prison and fell to the ground. After mom saw it, she put the escaped zongzi back in their prison. Watching my mother make zongzi, my hands itch and I want to make zongzi: "Mom, I want to make zongzi, too."
Mom smiled and said, "OK, I'll wrap dumplings for you. But it's very difficult. Don't give up halfway! "
My mother rolled the leaves into a cone, and then put the materials in ... So, I followed my mother's example, rolled the leaves into a cone and put rice in. Unexpectedly, the tip of my spine was too wide, and the rice slipped out of the house one by one. It's all my fault that I didn't roll the cone properly. Sure enough, the old saying, "details determine success or failure."
I carefully rolled the leaves into a cone and put the materials in. To my surprise, I didn't fail this time, which made me very happy.
Suddenly, I had an idea. Can I put a coin in Zongzi and give him 5 yuan money to see who can find it? Mother heard this and said, "Yes, but you should take a bath for the coins first, otherwise it will be too dirty to put them."
As soon as my mother's voice fell, I took the coins out of my pocket and ran to the vegetable washing place in the blink of an eye. I took the brush in my left hand and the coin in my right hand. I turned on the tap and began to brush. After brushing for a while, I dropped some detergent on the coin.
After washing, the coin may be thanking me and jumping on the stool. The stool happened to be illuminated by the sun again, and the sun wiped all the water off the coin. I put it in the belly of Zongzi. Luckily, I ate this Zongzi.
My favorite festival is Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival is the most meaningful festival I have ever had. In this festival, I learned that "details determine success or failure" and how to make zongzi.
The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China. Although it is celebrated all over the world, customs vary from place to place. I am from Taizhou, and our Spring Festival is really interesting!
The most important thing before the Spring Festival is the New Year's Eve dinner. Three aunts and eight aunts at home, all relatives and friends will get together. Unless there is something important, even if you are in a foreign land, you will come back and get together. Everyone blessed each other on the wine table, and everyone's face burst into a heartfelt smile.
Taizhou people can't live without firecrackers in the New Year. When the sky just dimly shines, firecrackers have already resounded through the sky. It has become an alarm clock for people to get up on New Year's Day. Looking out of the window, every household's lights are on one after another, wearing new clothes and hats, and their hands are arched to worship the Buddha. After that, the whole family was mobilized, and everyone was very busy. Glittering glutinous rice flour and green stuffing are wrapped together and put into the pot. When you hear the sound of "purring", the first delicious food in the morning-glutinous rice balls is out of the pot. May the whole family be reunited and happy in the new year.
When the sun rises and the first ray of sunshine falls on the earth, people get busier. People warmly welcome relatives and friends who come to pay New Year greetings at home. Children always form a team in unison, and go to pay New Year greetings one by one. When they come back, they are always full of harvest, and their pockets are full of all kinds of sweet candy. Although some friends are far apart, their friendship is as deep as a peach blossom pool. Even if they drive for dozens of minutes, they will go to meet friends to pay New Year greetings. In the afternoon, the cinema has become a crowded place, and the movies in the Spring Festival often bring joy to people. When night fell, it was the most exciting time for the children. They all took out the biggest and best fireworks. For a time, the fireworks surpassed the moonlight, and at that moment, they laid one gorgeous flower after another on the dark sky.
The Spring Festival is so short and happy, and it has become the best time of the year.
The sixth grade hometown customs composition 8 sparks bloom in the dark, and the whole silent night sky is carved into the background. Adults light fireworks and neighbors begin to greet each other, and the scene becomes a large-scale fireworks exchange scene.
The night of the day is the quietest, but on New Year's Eve, who doesn't want to be lively? Even at night. So fireworks and firecrackers made the whole alley loud and bright. A group of people followed the sound and took out their own fireworks. They started to ring. Two people, four people and five people ... Gradually, everyone got used to the excitement of New Year's Eve. They always wrapped jiaozi up first and came out to have fun before the Spring Festival Gala began.
"Mom, mom, when are you going out?" I am anxious with small fireworks: "Good boy, I will go out in a minute." As soon as I heard this sentence again, I was so anxious that I stamped my feet and sat down on the stool next to me. This kind of situation, is a child will be anxious, after all, this time is different from the past, the New Year, get together, you can see people you don't usually see, or know friends you haven't seen before, but now you can only wait.
After a while, a loud voice came to my ears, "Go!" I ran out like wind under my feet. Open the door and go out, I saw men, women and children all gathered together, like old friends I haven't seen for years, catching up, even if I don't know them, I feel like family at the moment. Look, there are toddlers stumbling on the road; There are young and strong boys who spit out the joy of this year together; There are older grandparents, some of whom can't even hear their ears ...
All kinds of people get together, talking about the gossip of the community, showing off their children, playing games that don't know their names. A group of people are smiling and beautiful, and their eyes are narrowed. Even the fireworks and bright starry sky are just a foil. The custom of my hometown is to bring us together for a reason and connect our hearts. How can I not love it?
We have a custom in Liyang. Before the New Year comes, every family invites their ancestors. My family is no exception. We will invite "ancestors to go home for the New Year", commonly known as "inviting ancestors" and "cooking soup rice", which is a traditional custom that has been passed down to this day as a form of ancestor worship.
The time for "inviting ancestors" is mostly before dinner on New Year's Eve. Every year, I will "invite my ancestors" with my grandfather and father. Grandpa told me that "please ancestors" is to worship ancestors, miss ancestors, ancestors. Grandma is responsible for preparing food for ancestor worship, including pig's head, rooster, carp, meatballs, tofu, vegetables, shredded radish, dumplings, apples, wine, chopsticks, small wine glasses, a pair of candles, incense sticks and incense burners ... My father and I put the square table in the middle of the hall according to grandpa's instructions, with a bench above it, and then a bench on the left and right sides. Grandpa put the ingredients and utensils on the table, and everything was put in the blink of an eye. I asked my father curiously why he had to prepare so many things. Dad talked about it, and all the materials he prepared were exquisite and passed down from generation to generation. The ingredients are generally "three meats and three vegetables", the three meats are generally fish, meat and chicken, and the three vegetables are generally tofu, vegetables and radish. There will also be pig's head, pig's hand and pig's tail. The fish must be a whole carp, and the chicken must be a rooster and can crow. I listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
Grandpa began to preside over the ceremony. First, he lit the candles and incense on the incense burner. Everyone should be serious and not joking. Then, grandpa took some ingots and ordered them at the gate. While ordering them, he said plausibly, "Ancestors, come back for dinner!" " As soon as the voice fell, I saw my father start pouring wine for the "ancestors". On three sides of the table, there are three wine glasses and three pairs of chopsticks. Dad kowtows every time he pours wine, and his lips keep chanting while kowtowing. After my father kowtowed, I immediately followed him and kowtowed, praying that our ancestors would bless us all with peace, good health and good luck. After three rounds of drinking, dad added rice to the "ancestors". Grandpa and I started burning ingots at the gate. Grandpa ordered ingots and said, "Ancestors, take them!" " I kept putting the ingots in. Grandpa said, "Be pious when burning ingots, and burn them slowly. Don't stir the ingot with a wooden stick, or you will break it. Soon the ingots were all burned out, and the "ancestors" all got them. At this time, I heard my grandfather say, "ancestors, after dinner, walk slowly!" " I looked up and saw grandpa moving the bench as he spoke.
Night has fallen, and the "Please Ancestors" is coming to an end. I think that "inviting ancestors" is a traditional custom, but inviting ancestors home on the day of family celebration is a sign of filial piety and nostalgia for ancestors. At the same time, grandpa and dad's prayers are deeply convinced that the ancestors and gods can protect our future generations, and they are affectionate blessings.
