How to write an essay about the Hakka customs during the Spring Festival?

When you find me, you will find the real Hakka, I am from Meizhou!

Every year, the 25th day of the lunar calendar is the "new year wedding", and the fifth day of the first lunar month is the "new year wedding" (Meizhou's six counties, one district and one county-level city all have different names). Before "getting married in the new year", the Hakka people will make some wine by themselves. The Hakka people call it "old wine", and some places call it "yellow wine". Yellow color,

Entering the "New Year's Marriage", all farm tools (hoes, shovels, dustpans, urine buckets, etc.) are washed and put away. Within ten days of entering and leaving the New Year's Marriage, farm tools are generally not used ( Unless there are special circumstances), in other words, after a year of hard work, it is time to take a good rest and play. Around the 28th of the year, the Hakka people will steam a basket of rice cakes, which we call "sweet plate";

The Hakka people call New Year's Eve "New Year's Eve" (sometimes the New Year is celebrated on the 29th of the year, and this day is also called New Year's Eve), and the night is called "New Year's Eve", at three or four o'clock Zhong then started to divide the work to cook the New Year's Eve dinner. In the family, the mother usually went to the field as early as possible to pick some vegetables for the first and second days of the new year. (Nowadays, some people live in old-fashioned houses, and there are also All the urinals should be drained before three or four o'clock on the 30th of this year, so as not to fill them up during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, after picking the vegetables, I will pour the organic fertilizer on them. Haha, kill two birds with one stone)

Father Generally, he will be in charge of cooking. If you want to make tofu, you must prepare the required materials in advance. Now that living conditions have improved, it has become easier and easier. Three or four dishes are enough.

十Children who are seven or eight years old usually clean the house, post couplets (if you post couplets, even if you owe someone else money, the creditor will not dare to collect the debt after seeing the couplets), help the younger siblings bathe, feed the chickens, ducks and geese. After entering the cage, I helped my dad make the fire (the Hakka people in rural areas still use big pots and earthen stoves). Everyone has something to do anyway.

Mom is back, and dad’s food is also ready. It's eight o'clock, and the whole family has taken a shower. Usually at about five o'clock at this time, they take out the "old wine" that has been prepared long ago, get together, get drunk, and then rest.

Have a full meal. Usually women (or mothers or sisters) have to wash their clothes;

To give out lucky money, Hakka people (at least this is the case in my hometown) are usually producers (that is, they can make money). To younger siblings or elders, this is different from the outsiders who do not need to distribute profits to unmarried people;

Look for a show, or playing cards (Hakka’s "Playing the King", the new popular "Fighting the Landlord" , Sangong, Stud) or mahjong, have fun, play to your heart's content...

On New Year's Eve, the lights in every room are kept on, which is called "lighting up"

The first day of the Lunar New Year is nothing special, just look for programs. If you don’t want to gamble, just go and participate in basketball games.

There are also lion dances in some places where people go door-to-door to say New Year greetings (just for fun) Lishi); Usually they are elders. They will cut the "sweet plate" into pieces today when they have free time. They are usually 15 This day is a good day to visit relatives. For young people who just got married last year, they must return to their parents' home on this day, which is called the "new turnstile". Usually, many gifts are prepared for the "new turnstile", and some even use half a pig. Cars (in the old days, bicycles and tractors, now motorcycles and cars), a young couple or a family of three go back to their parents' home in a lively manner. They usually stay at their parents' home until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year before returning to their own homes. Others are not new relatives. On this day You may or may not visit relatives.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Poor Ghost Day, people generally don’t go out, but now it’s no longer the custom. People can go out if they want to. The elders in the family have also opened up a lot. , there will no longer be restrictions on going out;

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, this day is also a day to visit relatives. Those who do not have time to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year can still visit relatives today, and those who visited relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year can also go home today (of course) You don’t have to go back, the most important thing is that you are happy living at home);

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you “get married” on New Year’s Eve. It’s nothing special. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has begun to fade, and people who go out to work have begun to go out to make money. ...

...

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people outside eat the New Year's Eve. The Hakka people's most lively event on this day is "laying lanterns." I have to spend money to buy a lantern to hang in the ancestral hall. People of my generation don’t know what it means. The ancestral hall is full of lanterns and the sound of firecrackers is everywhere...
