What are some excellent works of American literature that introduce traditional festivals?
Life is in a hurry and work is busy. I don't know what night it is, but I suddenly find that beginning of winter has passed, and last week passed, but I forgot to eat jiaozi. What should I do? Will your ears freeze this winter? Looking out the window, it's still red, yellow and green, and I always feel immersed in the blue sky and yellow leaves in autumn, but I don't know it's winter. Time is like a train that waits for no one. In a blink of an eye, 20 17 entered the winter, and a year passed in a hurry. In retrospect, it's not just that beginning of winter forgot to eat jiaozi, beginning of spring forgot to eat spring rolls, mango didn't eat plums, Chushuang forgot to eat mutton, and so on. Even this year's Mid-Autumn Festival only ate a small piece of moon cake, because it was too sweet, and he was afraid of gaining weight. The 24 solar terms and festivals left by our ancestors have never been more memorable than food. Eat jiaozi in the New Year, Yuanxiao in the Lantern Festival, Zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Laba porridge and so on. China people's admiration and yearning for food is implemented in every festival, but whenever they arrive at a certain node, they should eat something special to show their respect for tradition. If they miss it, they will always miss it and feel that they are not perfect. Life is getting better and better now. We can eat jiaozi, Zongzi and other delicious food at any time. We don't have to go to any festival to eat them. This is a happy life endowed by a powerful and rich motherland and a harmonious and stable society, but the rules set by our ancestors should not be forgotten. We should take the essence, discard the dross and keep the good aspects. This is the characteristic of our nation, the wisdom of our ancestors and the carrier of inheritance. When firecrackers exploded during the Spring Festival, the whole family sat around a table, steaming plates of cooked jiaozi. Eating coins means getting rich in the coming year, eating red dates means having a baby early, and eating lotus seeds means good things, and every bite is given blessings and hopes. On the Dragon Boat Festival, kannika nimtragol and the older girls at home smiled and wrapped jiaozi, steamed dumplings, sweet red dates and Confucianism-scented peanuts, which also wrapped up sweetness and happiness. The elders wrap colorful threads around their children's wrists, which means exorcising evil spirits, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body, praying for restraining evil spirits and avoiding drugs, and living a long life. Beginning of winter, together with beginning of spring, Changxia and beginning of autumn, is a very important festival in ancient society. It used to be a farming society, where farmers worked for a year. Beginning of winter wants to rest on this day and reward the family for their hard work. The proverb "beginning of winter fills the winter with an empty mouth" is the best metaphor. Every festival has its own characteristics, bearing our blessings and hopes for a better life. Although every year is the same season, every celebration is a different situation and mentality. So beginning of winter missed eating jiaozi. Is it a pity? Time flies, busy work, let us keep spinning like a top, and often miss many beautiful and happy things. Therefore, we should be calm, live every day and cherish every minute. It is a pity to miss jiaozi in early winter, but it is also a wake-up call. We should stop running forward, follow the four changing nodes, look at the scenery around us and enjoy a better life.
