A composition about the Liaochan Festival

As time goes by, it’s the twenty-third day of the first lunar month - the Liao Can Festival. On this day, people prepare dry firewood, waste paper and other items that can be used to burn incense at night. It is said that if you burn incense, the bad luck on your body will be washed away, and the coming year will be auspicious and safe.

After looking forward to it, finally at night, every household lit the firewood and paper prepared during the day, and the family gathered around the fire, talking and laughing. As soon as the fire was lit, the adults sprinkled a handful of salt into the fire, and a crackling sound was immediately heard. It is said that it can avoid disasters. The charcoal started, and the family jumped from one end to the other, and then from one end to the other. The atmosphere was very lively. When I jumped, I felt hot and scalding when I looked at the fire. I didn't dare to jump. My mother kept encouraging me. I watched the other children jumping around. One boy even jumped from the two-meter-high fire. I jumped over, and I felt itchy. I closed my eyes and stepped over the fire. Hey! It didn't seem so scary. I suddenly felt energetic and jumped more and more boldly.

If relatives are not around, take out their clothes and burn them. Grandma said that once the malady occurs, the bad luck will be eliminated and everything will be fine within a year.

When the firewood is burned out, my father uses a shovel to lift the ashes, and the sparks fly in the air. Depending on the direction and shape of the flying, "knowledgeable" people will call out "wheat flowers" and "buckwheat flowers" , "millet flower", "corn flower"? What kind of flower appears means that this year's crop will have a good harvest. Immediately afterwards is the "mouse stepping". Everyone competes to use their feet to stamp out the remaining sparks on the ground. To stamp out one spot means to crush a rat to death. The sounds of laughter and laughter came one after another, resounding throughout the sky.

The epidemic is over, the new year is over, and a peaceful and peaceful year has begun again.
