1 Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was greedy. Wherever he went and ate, he wanted to taste everything he had never eaten. On this day, he wandered into the village and met a beautiful girl. The girl is carrying a basket. What are you pretending to be? The emperor asked curiously.

2, the girl opened the basket, wow, what a big jujube cake! The emperor has eaten many good things, but he has never eaten jujube cake. He said to the girl, "Give me some, I am the emperor!" "

The girl smiled and handed the basket. The emperor wolfed down the jujube cake in three bites. After eating, I burped, ah, it's delicious! Then, the emperor had a bad idea. I want to take this girl back to the palace and let her make me jujube cakes every day! He said to the girl, you will make me 7749 pieces of jujube cake right away. If you can't do it, I'll take you away! The girl listened and said unhurriedly, OK!

She pulled off the gold hairpin on her head and scratched at the basket. Huh? Steaming, no more, no less, just 7749 pieces of jujube cake. It's amazing! The emperor hasn't understood yet. Seeing that he couldn't stand the girl, he cheated on her to feed him. The girl turned away from him! The emperor was angry and insisted on taking the girl away. He reached out and grabbed ...

5. The girl reached out and slapped the emperor on the stove, and the emperor stuck to the wall at once. This is bad. The emperor wants to get down, but he can't get down. This day happens to be the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Who makes you greedy! This time, others sit and you stand, others eat and you watch! Say that finish, the girl drove the colorful clouds to heaven. The greedy emperor became the kitchen god from now on.

6. Since then, the Kitchen God has stood by the stove every day and watched others eat. After a long time, people feel sorry for the kitchen god-after all, there is nothing wrong with loving good food. So, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone puts delicious food on the kitchen god, which is called offering sacrifices to the kitchen.

7. On this day, the children are happiest. They eat jujube cakes, dried persimmons, walnuts, sugar cakes and candied melons with the Kitchen God. It is said that after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will go to heaven to talk to the Jade Emperor about what happened in the past year. He has a sweet mouth after eating candied melons. When he meets the Jade Emperor, he only speaks well of people.

Second, the story of Yuanxiao:

1, in ancient times, a swan from the divine world broke into the world, but was killed by a human hunter. Hearing this, the Jade Emperor, the highest god in heaven, vowed to avenge the swan, so he began to make plans to send a team of heavenly soldiers and generals to come to earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to burn all people and animals.

2. But other immortals did not agree with this tyrannical plan, so they risked their lives to remind people on earth. As a result, around the fifteenth day of the first month, every family in the world put up lanterns outside their doors and set off fireworks, which gave the illusion that every family would catch fire. The heavenly soldiers and generals thought that people had been killed by the sky fire, so they went back to heaven to reply. In this way, mankind successfully deceived the Jade Emperor and thus escaped the danger of extinction.

Third, the story of the Spring Festival:

1, according to legend, there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, with long tentacles and fierce abnormality. I have been living at the bottom of the sea for many years, and I only climb ashore on New Year's Eve, eating livestock and hurting people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in villages and villages fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of Nian beast.

2. On New Year's Eve this year, people in Taohua Village were helping the elderly and taking care of the young to take refuge in the mountains. An old beggar came from outside the village. He was walking on crutches, with a bag on his arm and elegant silver whiskers, and his eyes were on Matthew Star. Some villagers sealed windows and locked doors, some packed their bags, some herded cattle and drove sheep, and people shouted hiss everywhere, which was a scene of panic. At this time, who has the heart to take care of the begging old man?

3. Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and advised him to go up the mountain quickly to avoid Nian beast. The old man smiled and said, If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive Nian beast away.

4. The old woman was surprised to look closely, and she saw that he was handsome, energetic and extraordinary. But she continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word. Mother-in-law had no choice but to leave home and take refuge in the mountains.

5. At midnight, Nian beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from that in previous years. The old woman's house in the east of the village had red paper on the door and the house was brightly lit. Nian beast, shaking all over, gave a long cry. Years, glared at her mother-in-law's house for a moment, and then screamed and rushed over. As I approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the courtyard, and Nian trembled all over, and I dared not go forward again.

6. It turns out that Nian is most afraid of red, fire and exploding. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. Years frightened to disgrace, panic fled up.

7. The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers about the promise of begging the old man. Villagers flocked to the old woman's house, only to find red paper on her mother-in-law's door, a pile of unburned bamboo still exploding in the yard, and a few red candles in the house still glowing ...

8. In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, ecstatic villagers changed their clothes and hats one after another and went to their relatives and friends' homes to congratulate and say hello. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew the way to drive away Nian beast.

9. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers; Every household is brightly lit by candlelight, and it is better to wait for the new year. In the early morning of the first day, I have to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.

Fourth, the story of the Dragon Boat Festival:

1 Long ago, there was a small fishing village under the Phoenix Mountain on the west bank of Gushun River in Shangyu. There is a fisherman named Cao in the village. The fisherman has a daughter named Cao E. ? During the spring and summer of a year, there was continuous heavy rain on both sides of the strait, and the flood in Shunjiang River soared. Cao E's father was afraid of missing the fishing season, so he ignored Cao E's opposition to going out to fish. ? 　

2. When my father went, Cao E was not at ease at home. She ran to the riverbank again and again to look. Later, Cao E searched up and down the river and didn't see his father. The sun was about to set, and Cao E learned from her father's partner that they were building a net together. Suddenly, a big wave pushed her father's boat into the whirlpool and the water washed it away. Hearing this, Cao E scared her soul, shouted "Father, Father" and started to chase after her downstream. ? 　

She was crying back and forth by the river. On the eighth day, Cao E looked at the river and saw her father fighting with it. Cao E dived into the river. Three days later, the river was calm, but people saw a river hovering over the river more than ten miles downstream, vaguely as if someone was swimming. People rushed over and found that it was Cao E and her father. Although Cao E died, she was able to find her father's body and take him to the bank of the river. People said that it was her filial piety that touched the sky. ? 　

It is said that the choppy Cao 'e River is always calm when it flows through Cao 'e Temple. The local people believe that it is because Jiangshui consciously feels ashamed of his filial daughter Cao E. Cao E's filial piety touched the sky, and even touched the villagers around him. They buried Cao E's father and daughter, built a temple beside the river where Cao E dived to save her father, made a statue of her, and honored her as a "filial goddess". They also called the fishing village Cao E Village and renamed this river Cao E River. On the day when Cao E saved his father, a grand temple fair was held in Cao E Temple, and all provinces and governments came to worship Cao E's filial piety. Many people wrote inscriptions and sent plaques to praise Cao E's filial piety. ? 　

It is said that the day when Cao E threw himself into the river was the fifth day of May. Therefore, many people regard the Dragon Boat Festival as a day to miss his filial daughter Cao E..

Five, the story of Laba Festival:

1, according to legend, the old couple lived a hard-working and thrifty life, saving a fortune, but their precious son failed to live up to expectations, and it was not virtuous to marry a daughter-in-law. They soon lost their fortune. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the young couple were frozen and hungry. Fortunately, villagers and neighbors helped them cook a pot of rice, noodles, beans and vegetables. It means: eat a mixed porridge and remember the lesson.

2. This porridge made the young couple get rid of their bad habits, embark on the right path, and rely on hard work to keep the family, and the days are getting better day by day. The popular custom of eating porridge in Laba is that people follow it to warn future generations. Laba porridge is also called "Qibao Wuwei porridge". China has a history of drinking Laba porridge for more than 1000 years.

3. It first started in the Song Dynasty. On the day of Laba, whether it's the imperial court, the government, the temple or the people's house of Limin, Laba porridge will be cooked. In the Qing Dynasty, the custom of drinking Laba porridge was even more popular. At court, emperors, queens and princes all give laba porridge to ministers of civil and military affairs and attendants, and distribute rice and fruits to monasteries for monks to eat. In the folk, every household should also make Laba porridge to worship their ancestors; At the same time, family groups get together to eat and give gifts to relatives and friends. 　　

4. There are many varieties of Laba porridge in China. Among them, Beiping is the most exquisite, and there are many items mixed in white rice, such as red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, grapes, ginkgo, water chestnut, moss, roses, red beans, peanuts, etc., totaling no less than twenty kinds. On the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, people began to get busy, washing rice, soaking fruits, peeling, removing stones, picking carefully, then starting to cook in the middle of the night, and then stewing with low fire until the next morning, when Laba porridge was cooked.
