Tell me about the annual composition of our Miao nationality.

The delicious new year's goods in my hometown are a kind of "taste" that is passed down in the depths of my soul and carries a heavy cultural rhyme.

"In addition to the firecrackers at the age of one, the spring breeze sends warmth to Tu Su; Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. " The fatigue of one year is released in the flavor of the year, the reflection of life is combed in the flavor of the year, and the hope of the coming year is expected in the flavor of the year.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the strong flavor of the year in my hometown slowly drifted away with the cold wind of 1999, and gradually became strong. Villages and villages, every household, men, women and children began to render and compare carefully, rigorously and full of expectations. "Snow lies on sheep, and snow kills pigs". Killing sheep and pigs is the most attractive taste in rural areas in a year. Especially after killing pigs, the host family will make a large pot of braised stew with canned meat (pig neck), sauerkraut, tofu, vermicelli and potatoes. The staple food is the unique yellow rice cake in northwest China. It is unforgettable for the whole family, old and young, to invite friends and relatives to have a steaming original ecological dinner together.

Starting from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, rural Chinese New Year programs have been launched in an all-round way. On Laba, people get up before dawn and start making Laba porridge. People in my hometown cook Laba porridge with yellow rice, red beans, peanuts and red dates. When eating, they pour a layer of syrup boiled with beets and carrots on the porridge, symbolizing the beginning of a new year, heralding a bumper harvest in the coming year and looking forward to the sweetness and beauty of life.

After Laba, every household began to buy new year's goods in an orderly way, busy eating and drinking, and busy getting pregnant. Neighborhood should help each other by grinding white flour, mashing cake noodles, pressing vermicelli, making tofu, raw bean sprouts, cutting sauerkraut, cutting jiaozi, planting onion and garlic, steaming steamed bread, frying oil cakes, laying flower cakes, killing cocks, cooking pig heads, writing couplets, cutting window grilles, writing Chinese characters, making soju, buying firecrackers, buying fragrant paper, buying candles and so on. Twenty-three, wash the lights. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen god who spoke well from heaven and returned to the palace for good luck was sent to heaven. After sweeping the courtyard, the beams, walls and windows were plastered, New Year pictures and window grilles were hung, the bedding was removed, the clothes were washed and makeup was put on, and the old earthen house was brilliant. "If you have money, you should shave your head for the New Year." As the New Year approaches, both men and women in the neighborhood should shave their heads and wipe their faces to welcome the New Year in a clean and gentle way.

Busy for a month in the twelfth lunar month, dressed up for the New Year. On New Year's Eve, women get up before dawn and start steaming "rice" and cooking noodle soup, which is called "turning over to get rice" in their hometown. There are so many things to do that they can't eat them all, which means they have more than enough every year. After dinner, every household will prepare paper money, worship their ancestors, cook and paste couplets. Keep in mind the kindness of our ancestors, and appeal to God for the wish that "the grain is abundant, the cattle and sheep are full of circles, the lucky stars are shining high, and the doors are crowded". After the family's "feast" at noon on New Year's Eve, they began to sprinkle water to sweep the courtyard, make a fire and hang lanterns. Wanghuo will be built in front of the god of heaven and earth. "Heaven's virtue is as deep as the sea and earth's kindness is as heavy as a mountain." Hometown people want to build a large iron pot in a selected location in the yard, and then build a strong fire on an iron pot full of sand. The main materials for making a fire are hemp stalks, firewood, cypress and coal. Finally, build a flourishing fire with a hollow square tower or round tower more than one meter high, decorate it with colored paper, and finally paste a couplet with "flourishing spirit soaring to the sky". Starting from New Year's Eve, a high pole of several meters to more than ten meters will be erected in the yard of every household. The top of the pole is equipped with pulleys, and lanterns are hung on the top of the pole with a long rope. At the same time, lanterns, including cows, horses and sheepfolds, will be hung in the main room, wing room, cold room and woodshed until the fifteenth day of the first month. After turning on the light, grandparents began to distribute candy and snacks to the children. Children with candy and snacks flocked to pay New Year greetings with incense. The host went in, and westerners went out to watch the fire, watch New Year pictures and enjoy lanterns. It was not until the rooster crowed for the first time that every household began to hold the ceremony of "receiving God". First, in front of the Fu Lushou shrine in the main room, "Fule is prosperous from this home, and it is rich and prosperous", and tributes are placed and incense is burned to worship the gods and ancestors. Then the whole family began to have a fire. After the fire broke out, firecrackers, firecrackers and lanterns began to be set off, colorful flags were flying at the door, and heaven and earth were in harmony. The whole family began to bow down to the gods of heaven and earth by the flourishing fire. The old man nodded, the boy clapped his hands, and prayed for three stars to stay in the house. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn ... The children should hold new clothes for the New Year and bake the fire. Then grandma or mom decorated the children's skirts with garlic cloves, cypress knives and bronze horses to ward off evil spirits and protect peace. After the ceremony, the whole family began to celebrate New Year's Eve. Men drink around the stove, make a living, make a living Women wrap jiaozi in laughter, jiaozi in New Year's Eve and coins in jiaozi. Those who eat coins say that they will be blessed in the coming year.

"One night for two years, five hours for two years." When the sun rises in the new year, people should open the door early to welcome all kinds of things. Children put on new clothes and hats, and together with adults carrying lanterns, incense and firecrackers, they rushed pigs, sheep, cows and horses to meet "XiShen" outside the village, hoping that good luck would shine and purple gas would come from the east. The first bowl of jiaozi on the morning of the first day of the first month, first of all, we should respect our ancestors. After dinner, children should follow adults from door to door to pay New Year greetings to their elders, relatives and friends. In the blessings of "Happy New Year" and "Congratulations on getting rich", "* * * Happy New Year to you." "Twenty-eight boys have a good New Year's meal and earn a lot of money." Every child can get the money donated by his elders after giving gifts, greeting the New Year and greeting. From the first day of the first month to the second day of the second month, dragons look up, and the taste of hometown is like the smoke of three meals a day in the countryside, accompanied by yangko and dragon dancing, a strong language seat with three glasses of wine, accompanied by barking dogs and sheep, full of smiles, laughter and nostalgia for the bright sky in hometown. ...

The strong local flavor is the warmth of family, the gestation of nostalgia, the integration of rural interests and the sublimation of folk customs. Hometown is in this natural, simple, passionate and endless flavor of the year, from the old past to today's youth, from the passionate present to the hopeful future.
