Once upon a time, every time in Tomb-Sweeping Day, our family would always get together for dinner, especially the Youth League. No one, from 70-year-old grandparents to three or four-year-old younger brothers and sisters, does not like eating green balls.
Qing Tuan, as its name implies, is a small blue ball, which looks like a green gem in appearance, round and chubby, making people think it is lovely.
Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, my sisters always help adults make green balls, mix wormwood juice into glutinous rice flour, then wrap it in their favorite stuffing, knead it into balls, and steam it to enjoy. When we are doing it, we can't help but steal some. Mom saw it and frowned. "Hey, how many green groups are missing?" At this time, we hide in the house and secretly laugh.
As soon as the youth league was served, we immediately reached out and grabbed it. My younger brother and younger sister refused to eat candy and cried for the youth league. At this time, the elegance of a lady on weekdays has long been forgotten by us. We just want to eat more green balls, with three or four green balls in one hand and the other hand constantly grabbing them. When all the other dishes are served, we watch the adults eating chicken, duck and fish with relish, and our mouths are watering. But the green balls have been stuffed into our throats. Can we still eat? So I secretly scolded myself why I had to eat so many green balls in the first place. But when we meet the Youth League in Tomb-Sweeping Day next year, we can't help but reach out and grab it.
Now, when I see a youth league seller on the street, I will pester my mother to buy it for me, but when I eat the youth league outside, I always feel that something is missing.
In my memory, the most lively festival in my hometown is the winter solstice, which is more lively and grand than the Spring Festival in my hometown.
On the winter solstice, the first important thing for children is to buy glutinous rice balls, including red bean paste stuffing and mung bean stuffing, as well as white glutinous rice balls that are consistent in appearance. The second important thing is to buy fireworks and firecrackers, especially for boys. What kind of "kicking the feet" and "flying monkeys" are popular among children. Rich families will also buy rocket fireworks. On the night before the winter solstice, if they see someone setting off fireworks on their balcony,
Children are happy, and adults are busy. Men have to drive their own cars or entrust people to go to the city to buy sacrifices to worship the gods on the day of the winter solstice. Women make all kinds of sweets at home, and they should be wary of "little mice" stealing food. Some vendors seized the business opportunity and sold snacks at the edge of the market. Others killed chickens and pigs, which was very lively.
The winter solstice has finally arrived. Every household in they nest moved a large table full of fish, braised goose, pork and other products to the village square to worship the "master". During the winter solstice, several old temples on the mountain were full of people and incense, and there was a troupe invited from outside to stage a Chaozhou opera in the village square. Children "helped" adults to set off firecrackers and firecrackers on their rooftops.
The winter solstice in my hometown is very lively every year. Although our village is no better than the city, we have to celebrate the winter solstice, and it is more lively than the city.
In Anhui, the Spring Festival almost begins on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, which is the busiest time of the year. People are busy for a whole year, and most of them will go home for the Spring Festival at this time. The village is full of excitement.
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, tofu and fried dumplings will be made. When I get up in the morning, every household smells of beans. Heat the pot with firewood, grind the soybeans soaked overnight into paste, put them in the pot and add water. Boil until it is slightly sticky, and you can cook. Spread a layer of gauze on the square wooden frame, put the boiled paste on it, fix the wooden frame on the beam of the old house, and then start filtering. Boil the filtered soybean milk again, add gypsum to marinate, cool it, pour it into a bean paddle bag, and press it with a heavy object for two hours, so that the tofu is ready. Boiled soybean milk can also be drunk directly.
Then, it is fried dumplings. Pour a large pot of cooked glutinous rice into a basin, add appropriate amount of meat foam, ginger foam, chopped green onion, salt, soy sauce and other condiments, and then stir with a wooden stick until there are no rice grains at all and you can knead them into balls. Rub the glutinous rice into balls the size of table tennis, then sprinkle a layer of flour, and you can fry it in hot oil. Keep turning it up and down in the pot until the mariko is reddish brown and take it out. The first pot of dumplings must be put in a plate and placed on the stove for the kitchen god. Listening to the elders, the implication is that the weather will be good in the coming year, and there will be food and drink.
There are many festivals and customs in China, which have a long history and are worth knowing.
My memory is very vague. Every Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be spent in school, and I haven't eaten many moon cakes. What impressed me most in my mind is mung bean cake, the simplest kind of plastic transparent packaging, one grid at a time. Although I found it when I got home after the holiday, my mother only left me two pieces, but that was quite satisfactory.
When it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most indispensable thing is to make Ciba. Grandparents got up very early in the morning. They steamed the glutinous rice prepared the day before, and then put it in a big wooden barrel. At this time, they took a thick wooden stick, grasped both sides of the stick with both hands, and pressed the hot glutinous rice inside, and so on until all the glutinous rice became glutinous rice. At this time, it is really delicious with sesame powder and white sugar ground from sesame seeds fried in the stove before! Although I don't like sweets, I will eat a few big lumps of glutinous rice paste.
After that, the unforgettable old-fashioned moon cakes came on stage. This kind of old-fashioned moon cake is usually big and round, one for a catty, covered with sesame crispy skin on the outside, and filled with rock sugar, dried tangerine peel and five kernels. Because it is too big and tastes too special, it is always disliked when eaten directly, and it can't be eaten much. However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother cut large pieces of moon cakes into triangular arcs, fried them into double-sided yellow pieces in the pan, and then ate them after taking them out of the pan. It would be really delicious! Two ways to eat are completely two flavors!
Every place in the world has its own unique customs, and my hometown has its own unique customs.
Let's start with New Year's Eve! On this unusual night, children can play around with lanterns. Not only children come out to play, but also some adults can't help it! Adults and children are setting off firecrackers in the street. What a lively scene!
After New Year's Eve, the next day will be the first day of New Year's Day. On this day, the whole family will have a holiday, even on the second day and the third day of New Year's Day. By the way, needle and thread and scissors are not allowed to move for three days! According to the old people, this is a three-day holiday for women who have worked hard for a year. It can be seen how fair this is! On the first day of New Year's Day, adults take their children to their elders' homes to pay New Year greetings. After the New Year, the elders will give out red envelopes! This red treasure is for children. Children can save it and control it by themselves, such as buying some books and stationery. By the way, on this day, everyone has to set off firecrackers! Interested people can also turn on the VCD at home, plug in the microphone and enjoy singing.
After the Lantern Festival, that is, the fifteenth day of the first month, children can buy Yuanxiao and cook it at night. Oh, by the way, you have to light candles on the fifteenth day of the first month! Every family lit candles in the house, in the yard and outside the gate. From the outside, the whole street looked like a happy event.
After the fifteenth day of the first month, it will be the sixteenth. It's time to start school and work, and people have their own things to do.
The custom composition of the sixth grade hometown is 300 words. 6 "It's three miles away from home, not a local style." Our motherland has a vast territory and many nationalities, and each place has its own customs. The custom I want to introduce is the temple fair in my hometown during the New Year.
Everyone is familiar with the New Year, but what are you doing in your hometown during the New Year? There will be a temple fair in our hometown during the New Year.
Crossing the temple is called "rushing to the temple" and "rushing to the meeting". In the New Year, every family will wear new clothes to the temple fair to have a look. When the children went, it was like having fun. There were all kinds of strange things at the temple fair. The children went here, stopped, went there, and opened their eyes to have a look. Everything seems strange to children. Adults are chatting with each other about this year's harvest, which is very lively.
The custom of temple fairs in Hebei has a long history and is very common. There used to be 72 temple fairs in Hebei a year. The old temple fairs were very complicated, and some of them also had a strong patriarchal concept and feudal superstition. Now, people regard the temple fair as a kind of "tourism" and self-entertainment place. Colorful folk arts such as stilts, lions, dragon lanterns, dry boats, running donkeys, bamboo horses, acrobatics, martial arts, etc. are formed, and most of them are performed during temple fairs. At the same time, with the development of history, "crossing the temple" in various places has gradually formed its own characteristics, such as: Anguo Yaowang Temple Fair, Zhangbei Mule and Horse Conference, Shexian Wa Palace Grandma Temple Fair and so on.
Crossing the temple not only exchanged materials, but also enriched the cultural life of the masses. This is the custom of my hometown.
Everyone's hometown has its own special customs, and of course, my hometown is no exception. The custom of my hometown is to worship Aobao.
Sacrificing Aobao is a traditional Mongolian ritual activity. On this day, herders will go to Aobao in droves to offer sacrifices. They will place Buddha statues on Aobao, erect prayer flags, and sacrifice beef, mutton and milk food together in front of Aobao. Then, the lamas began to burn incense and lights, chanting and praying for the blessing of the gods, while the masses turned around Aobao three times from left to right, hoping to usher in a bumper harvest year.
Aobao is Mongolian, meaning heap or bulge. Aobao is usually located in high mountains or hills, because they think that there is a road to heaven on the tall and majestic mountains. Aobao is a cone-shaped solid tower made of stones, with a long rod inserted at the top, the head of which is tied with animal hair horns and scripture cloth, and there are stepping stones burning cedarwood on all sides; Next to Aobao, branches are also planted for whole sheep, koumiss, butter and cheese. At the time of sacrifice, in ancient times, shaman wizards beat drums and chanted incantations to worship and pray; In modern times, lamas burned incense and lights, eulogized and recited scriptures.
It is precisely because of the different customs and habits in different regions that we have a profound China culture, which we must pass down.
The custom composition of the sixth grade hometown 300 words 8 The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother made zongzi. First of all, we should prepare the stuffing of zongzi. There are all kinds of stuffing, including peanut stuffing, red dates stuffing, vegetable stuffing and meat stuffing. To prepare banana leaves, wash them and cut them into symmetrical leaves. Mother steamed the glutinous rice, put a roll of banana leaves into the cooked glutinous rice, pressed it together with a little hand, took out the peanut, red date and vegetable stuffing and pressed it into the rice ball, then wrapped it into a diamond, tied it with silk thread, and a small zongzi was born in her hand. As soon as the wrapped zongzi is steamed, it can be eaten when taken out. Tear off the leaves, revealing white rice balls inside, and you can vaguely see the reddish filling. At this time, the zongzi not only has the taste of rice balls, but also is mixed with the faint fragrance of banana leaves. Eating it in your mouth is cool and slightly sweet, which is the best snack after a meal.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my father will cut down the leaves of Artemisia argyi that are still hung with crystal dew, select bright green leaves and hang them on the lintel. Dad said that the greener the mugwort leaves, the stronger its smell and the fresher the air. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the house was filled with strange fragrance. Mom said that when the wormwood leaves are dry, you can soak them in boiling water, which can drive away the five poisons and cure all diseases. Every time after the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would make a pot and let the whole family share it. Although Artemisia argyi water tastes bitter, it is too bitter to swallow. I barely took a sip in front of my mother, and I spit it out as soon as my mother turned around.
The Chinese nation has a long history, and many festivals have been handed down in the continuous history: Tomb-Sweeping Day with drizzle, Mid-Autumn Festival with bright moonlight ... Among these programs, my favorite is the lively Spring Festival.
In my hometown, the annual New Year's Eve is the most lively. On this day, every family eats jiaozi. Before eating jiaozi, every family will set off a string of firecrackers, because jiaozi means "making friends", which is the transition and alternation from the old year to the new year. After eating jiaozi, the next thing is to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Every household will sit in front of the TV, serve melon seeds, put on tea and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. People often stay up until the early hours of the morning. Getting up the next morning is the first day of New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day, people will visit relatives. When visiting relatives, they should buy some gifts instead of going empty-handed. When you arrive at someone's home, you should say "Happy New Year" or "Happy New Year" first, and then your relatives will give you lucky money to ask about your exam results, wishing you good health and progress in your studies in the coming year.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we will go to my uncle's house for dinner, and many people will come: aunts, aunts, uncles … I seldom get together with their children to play. We will also buy some firecrackers to set off, not to mention how happy we are.
This is the custom in my hometown.
300 words 10 On the vast grassland, the Mongolian people who have been living as nomads have an annual grand gathering-Nadam.
I have never been to Inner Mongolia, and the biggest regret is that I have never eaten beef jerky or seen Nadam. Nadam began as a sacrifice to the mountain god and the road god, that is, to the Aobao, and later developed into the present Nadam after a long time.
As I was born in Inner Mongolia, I often appreciate the grand occasion of Nadam. On the day of Nadam, vendors gathered and shouted, and I was mixed in the crowd. People kept smiling at me and pulling me to promote their goods. People were enthusiastic, and many people who were ready to play pulled horses around the field. The weather was wonderful that day, and it was sunny and cloudless in Wan Li, which seemed to congratulate Nadam on its development. Shops sell everything from jewelry to antique wenwan and sun umbrellas.
But the climax of Nadam is not limited to this. National performances and competitions have made the already enthusiastic crowd more excited. The general Nadam can last for three or four days. The first day is mainly the opening ceremony and national dance, and acrobatics are performed immediately. The applause of people is higher and higher.
Competition is also very popular with the audience. The boys performed horse racing, wrestling and shooting, which was extremely intense on the field and not inferior off the field, with applause everywhere. The athletes on the field are heroic and spirited, giving people a unique sense of boldness of Mongolian people.
In a word, Nadam is the expression of Mongolian characteristics and culture, and it is also a way to convey culture.
