At noon, local women and children all wore new clothes and dipped realgar in wine to draw a king's word on their foreheads. On this day, anyone can eat fish and meat. At about 1 1 in the morning, all the tea people had lunch. After eating, everyone living in the city locked the door, and the whole family went out of the city to watch boating by the river. If you have acquaintances in Hejie Street, you can go to the gate of the Diaojiao Building in Hejie Street, or you can stand at the gate of the tax gate and look at the pier. The dragon boat in the river starts from somewhere in Changtan and ends before the race clearance. Because on this day, officers, tax collectors and local people with status are all seeing the excitement before tax. A few days ago, everyone made preparations for boating. They divided into groups, helped each other, and each selected a number of strong men with dexterous hands and feet to practice advancing and retreating in the pool. The shape of the boat is very different from that of an ordinary wooden boat. It is long and narrow, with both ends tilted high, and the hull is painted with long scarlet lines. Usually put it in a dry cave by the river, and drag it into the water when necessary. Each boat can accommodate 12 to 18 paddlers, a team leader, a drummer and a gong player. Each oarsman took a short paddle and rowed the boat forward with the drums. Sitting at the bow, wrapped in red cloth, holding two small flags in his hand, waving from side to side, commanding the advance and retreat of the ship. Most people who beat gongs and drums sit in the middle of the boat. As soon as the boat paddled, they immediately beat gongs and drums to adjust the rowing rhythm for the paddlers. The speed of the ship depends on the drums, so whenever the competition between the two ships is fierce, the drums are like thunder, and the people on both sides of the strait cheer and jump for joy, which reminds people of all kinds of situations of beating drums in the battle of the old stork river in Liang Hongyu. Whoever rows the boat to the front will be rewarded before customs clearance. You can hang a red cloth and a small silver medal on the head of someone on board, showing the glory of this ship's cooperative efforts. A good soldier, when a ship wins every time, it will set off 500 firecrackers at the water's edge to celebrate the victory.

After the regatta, the chief garrison commander in the city sent soldiers to throw 30 Dagong ducks with green heads and long necks and red stripes tied around their necks into the river, and all the soldiers and civilians who were good at swimming freely chased the ducks. Whoever catches the duck will become the owner of the duck. So long pool took on a new look. Ducks are everywhere on the water, and people are chasing ducks everywhere.

The boat-to-boat race and the man-to-duck race will not end until evening.

Liu Shaotang's Memories of the Animal Year

Spring rain shocks spring and clear valley days, summer is full of mountains and summer is connected with heat, autumn dew is cold and frost, and winter snow drifts. In the village customs, the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms are colorful, but the Spring Festival except the twenty-four solar terms has the most distinctive local characteristics and strong local flavor.

Spring Festival is now the official name, but I call it Spring Festival or New Year, just like my fellow villagers in Canal.

Back then, when I was young, the Chinese New Year in my hometown began to heat up on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. It's getting warmer and hotter every day, and I have a fever until the end of the year.

On the first night of the twelfth lunar month, everyone fried peanuts, melon seeds and popcorn; After frying, pots after pots, bundles of firewood were stabbed into the stove chamber, and the heatable adobe sleeping platform was hot enough to make pancakes. Peeling corn kernels in an iron pot mixed with hot sand; Grandma was holding a spatula in her hand and murmured, "On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the child won't get sick." Peanuts, melon seeds and popcorn are fried, put in a dustpan, dried in the yard, and then brought into the house, where the whole family sits around and munches. I eat too much, my mouth is sore, and I have to drink soup made of burnt rice crust. The soup has cleared its appetite, the fire of rotten mouth has subsided, and it's time to eat Laba porridge again. Laba porridge made of millet, corn grits, red beans, sweet potatoes, red dates and millet is delicious. It looks pleasing to the eye in a bowl and is reluctant to eat. But I don't have enough to eat and I don't want to put down my chopsticks. After drinking Laba porridge, I was even older. Vendors selling candied haws shuttled back and forth and drew lots with bamboo tubes. The candied haws in the lottery tasted the sweetest. The vendor selling hanging dates in Zhuozhou strung dried tiger-eye dates with core and selenium removed into a circle and hung them around his neck to eat. Vendors selling honeydew melons and kwantung sugar are constantly shouting, one after another, boasting. There are also vendors selling velvet flowers with grass handles on their shoulders. The stalks of grass are covered with colorful velvet flowers, which walk through the streets. The eldest girl and the kannika nimtragol called them to the door and stood on the threshold to choose flowers. The old lady will also buy a red velvet flower for China New Year. There are cries of killing pigs and sheep in the south, north and west of the village. If you stand in a chicken coop and feed a fat chicken for a month, you will be cut off. Every family is busy steaming steamed buns and rice cakes, and the poor family will steam bean dumplings for a few days. Tofu is frozen on the cylinder head and sieve of the patio, persimmon is frozen on the windowsill, and sauerkraut is also pickled. Women are busy, but men are squatting on the root of the fence to bask in the sun and gossip. On the 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month, send incense to the kitchen god and send paper horses. The most interesting thing is to take off the idol of Kitchen God. Before cremation, you can dig a few pieces of sugar paste from the honeydew melon, put it on the kitchen god's mouth, and tell him to speak well in heaven, so that the lower bound can be safe. After the kitchen god left, the door god changed his post, so he erected a heaven and earth pole behind the screen wall, hung a lantern and a straw stick rattling in the cold wind, and posted a red paper on the heaven and earth pole: "Jiang Taigong is coming". Evil spirits are sneaking around and dare not harass. New Year's Eve on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month is joyful and solemn. Family reunion package jiaozi, who eats package jiaozi to make money is the most blessed, good luck in a year. The yard is covered with sesame stalks, and the little girl is not allowed to go out. Although the little boy is allowed to walk, he can't pee outside to avoid colliding with the gods. Don't sleep no matter how sleepy you are. Adults tell jokes, riddles and stories to children. This is called bowling. When the night watchman knocks on the bangzi, he can put jiaozi in the pot, set off firecrackers in the yard and put couplets on the doorframes. Before putting the pot in the jiaozi, the children will kowtow to the old people one by one. Old people will get lucky money, and boys can go out and walk on sesame stalks to their close relatives' homes. Lucky money is full of pockets. Gastrodia elata lit up and the neighbors knocked at the door. Open the door and meet each other, screaming: "Congratulations, congratulations!" "Happy, happy!" I usually visit hundreds of families, and at the beginning of the first month-I want to pay a New Year call to hundreds of families. I left my neighbors, went to my hometown, and visited every family in the north and south of the village. At this time, I feel recognized, and I am one year older.

Meeting Bingzi at the age of 60 is my birth year. Recalling the past at the age of 60, I feel quite rejuvenated.

Su Shi's "Water Tune"

Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, happy drinking. Shout out, write this article and have a baby.

When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance to find the shadow, what is it like! The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.
