Elementary school students’ essay on folk customs! Urgent

Taohuayuan is connected to Wuqiang River on the top and Wuling on the bottom. It is said that it was a refuge for the ancient Qin people to escape from years of war and exorbitant military service. They worked and fed themselves in this isolated place, reproduced their descendants, and developed a unique style of feng shui. The ancient folk customs here still show its past sentiments as a paradise of cave heaven.

There is Qinren Cave in Peach Blossom Spring, and there is a village named Sanhe Village in Qinren Cave. There are dozens of families in Sanhe Village, most of whom are named Qin, so the village is also called Qinren Village. Are these villagers surnamed Qin descendants of the ancient Qin people who went into caves to avoid chaos? No one has done any specific research. Anyway, the word "Qin" has been used throughout ancient and modern times, and their customs of clothing, food, housing and transportation are indeed very different from today's modern social customs.

Clothing: In the past, all the clothing materials used by people here were home-woven homespun cloth. Each family is equipped with spinning wheels and looms, produces its own cotton, spins and weaves its own cotton, and the woven homespun cloth is dyed with vegetable dyes in colors of green, blue, gray or purple. Most of the clothes are made at home. The dyed homespun cloth is cut into pieces and then stitched together by hand. There are also tailors who come to make clothes. A gray bag, a few needles, a few threads, and a pair of pig iron irons that look like today's small aluminum pots are all their tools. The style of clothing is a men's jacket. Women wear large clothes with one-color cloth buttons and loops, and their trousers are all large folded crotch trousers with a waistband of 4 feet, which is folded in front of the belly and tied with a cloth belt. Nowadays, the clothes of young people in the village are almost the same as those of people outside the cave, but many elderly people still wear double-breasted clothes, large clothes, and crotchless trousers. However, the fabrics for the elderly's clothes are no longer made from local textiles, but are selected from the market. Walking around the village, you can still find wooden spinning wheels and looms. Although these are no longer in use, they still display history. Even today, when sewing machines are widely used, there are still local tailors in the village who carry fire irons and ash bags.

Food: Of course, the staple food is rice, which is almost the same as the villagers outside the cave. The "food" referred to here specifically refers to tools for processing rice. The tools used by the villagers in Qinru Village to process rice were plates, stone pestles, and windmills. The dish is round and has two upper and lower leaves. The lower fan is fixed on the wooden frame, with a hardwood shaft in the middle, and the upper fan rotates around the wooden shaft on the lower fan. The friction surfaces of the upper and lower leaves are regularly embedded with many hardwood pieces as teeth, and loess is tamped between the teeth to fix the teeth. The function of the dish is to remove the coarse shell from the shell. When processing with a plate, the rice husks are piled in the hopper of the upper fan, and the upper fan is pushed to rotate manually. The rice husks are rubbed through the wooden teeth, and the coarse-hulled brown rice is sprinkled from the gap between the upper and lower surfaces. The brown rice is then processed with stone mills to become cooked rice. Nowadays, most of the rice consumed by villagers is processed by machines, but there are still workshops in the village that can process rice for villagers using ancient methods. It is true that some villagers used to process rice using mats and piles of stones in the workshops. They (especially the elderly) believe that this is more fragrant and softer than machine-processed rice.

Accommodation: In the past, the villagers’ houses were all thatched huts with bamboo fences. The huts are built close to the mountain, and each is independent. It is true that "chickens and dogs can hear each other." The interior of the house is simple, with slates and wooden blocks as benches, planks of wood as beds, gourds (commonly known as reeds) cut into scoops, and bricks as a stove. Today the huts have been replaced by wooden huts. The wooden houses are all covered with small green tiles and whitewashed walls, still retaining the ancient style. Although every household has a TV and a refrigerator, the cut-up melon and gourd are still the same.

Exercise: Although Qinren Village is close to the national highway, there are no roads in the village. The countryside is crisscrossed by roads and traffic. These roads in the countryside are not said to be better than cement roads and asphalt roads, but they do have their own advantages. advantages. It is filled with the green smell of fragrant grass and the moisture of earth and dirt. Stepping on it with bare feet makes people feel warm and comfortable, and it also makes people feel the beating of the pulse of the earth.
