Celebrity Prose during the Spring Festival

Prose is a narrative literary genre that expresses the author’s true feelings and has a flexible writing style. The word "prose" probably appeared during the period of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (December 976-November 984). I have carefully compiled celebrity prose about the Spring Festival for you, hoping it can be a reference for you. Celebrity Prose about the Spring Festival Part 1

According to the old rules in Beijing, the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) starts almost in the early days of the twelfth lunar month. "Laba is the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month, jackdaws are freezing to death." This is the coldest time of the year. However, when winter comes, spring will soon come, so people do not reduce their enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year and welcoming the spring because of the cold. On the day of Laba, people in homes and temples cook Laba porridge. This kind of special porridge is used to worship ancestors and gods, but if you think about it carefully, it is a manifestation of the pride of agricultural society - this kind of porridge is made from all kinds of rice, all kinds of beans, and all kinds of dried fruits. (Almonds, walnut kernels, melon seeds, lychee meat, lotus seeds, peanuts, raisins, water chestnuts...) Boiled. This is not porridge, but a small agricultural exhibition.

On Laba day, you also need to soak Laba garlic. Put the garlic cloves in high vinegar on this day, seal them up, and use them to eat dumplings during the New Year. By the end of the year, the soaked garlic will be as green as emeralds, and the vinegar will also have a spicier taste. The color and taste are both delicious, making people want to eat more dumplings. In Beijing, every family eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Since Laba, shops have stepped up their efforts to sell New Year’s goods, and more stalls have been added to the streets - those selling Spring Festival couplets, those selling New Year paintings, those selling honey offerings, those selling daffodils, etc. It only appears during this season. These New Year stalls make children's hearts beat very fast. In the alleys, the shouting sounds were more numerous and complex than usual, and some of them only appeared in the twelfth lunar month, such as those selling constitutions, pine branches, barley rice, rice cakes, etc.

When there was an emperor, school children stopped going to school on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month and had a month-long annual holiday. When children prepare to celebrate the New Year, almost the first thing they do is buy mixed food. This is made from various dried fruits (peanuts, dates, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc.) and candied fruits. The ordinary ones are with skin, and the high-end ones are without skin - for example: ordinary hazelnuts with skin are used, and high-end hazelnuts are made of hazelnut pulp. . Children like to eat these odds and ends, and even if there are no dumplings to eat, they must buy them. Their second big thing is to buy firecrackers, especially the boys. I'm afraid the third thing is to buy toys - kites, diabolo, harmonica, etc. - and New Year pictures.

Children are busy and adults are nervous too. They must prepare everything to eat, drink and drink during the New Year. They also have to quickly make new shoes and new clothes for the children, so that they can appear renewed in the New Year.

Celebrating the Little New Year on the 23rd is almost a "dress rehearsal" for celebrating the New Year. In the old society, every family would pay homage to the Stove King that night. Firecrackers would go off as soon as it was dark, and the paper image of the Stove God would be incinerated with the sound of the firecrackers. It was called sending the Stove God to heaven. In the past few days, there were a lot of maltose and glutinous rice candy sellers on the street. The candies were either in the shape of long squares or large and small melons. According to the old saying: Stick sugar on the Kitchen King's mouth, and he will not report bad things in the family to the Jade Emperor when he reaches heaven. Nowadays, there are still candy sellers, but they are only for everyone to enjoy, and they no longer stick to the Kitchen King's mouth.

After the 23rd, everyone becomes even busier. The New Year is here in the blink of an eye. Before New Year's Eve, every family must put up the Spring Festival couplets and do a general cleaning, which is called house cleaning. It is necessary to prepare enough meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, rice cakes, etc., at least enough to last for a week - according to the old custom, most shops close their doors for five days and do not open until the sixth day of the first lunar month. If you do not prepare food for the next few days, it will not be easy to replenish it temporarily. Also, old mothers in the old society insisted on cutting out everything that should be cut out on New Year's Eve, so as not to use the knife again on the first to fifth day of the first lunar month. It is unlucky to use the knife or scissors. This has a superstitious meaning, but it also shows that we are indeed peace-loving people who are unwilling to even move a kitchen knife at the first year of life.

New Year’s Eve is so lively. Every family is preparing New Year dishes, and the aroma of wine and meat is everywhere. Men and women of all ages wear new clothes, red couplets are posted outside the door, and various New Year pictures are posted inside the house. Every house is lit up all night without interruption, and the sound of cannons is continuous day and night.

Those who work outside must rush home to have a reunion dinner and worship their ancestors unless absolutely necessary. This night, except for very young children, no one slept, and they all had to stay up late on New Year's Eve.

The scene on New Year's Day is completely different from that on New Year's Eve: on New Year's Eve, the streets are crowded with people; on New Year's Day, the shops are all boarded up, with cardboard paper from firecrackers set off last night piled in front of the door, and the whole city is resting.

Men go out before noon to visit relatives and friends’ homes to pay New Year greetings. Women receive guests at home. At the same time, there are many temples inside and outside the city open for people to visit. Vendors set up stalls outside the temples, selling tea, food, and various toys. The Dazhong Temple outside the North City, the Baiyun Temple outside the West City, and the Fire Temple (Changdian) in the South City are the most famous. However, the first two or three days after the temple opened was not very lively because people were too busy wishing each other New Year greetings and had no time to do so. On the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month, temple fairs become more popular, and children are particularly enthusiastic about going there so they can see the wild scenery outside the city, ride donkeys, and buy special New Year toys. There were chariot and horse races in the square outside Baiyun Temple; in the old days, it was said that there were also camel racers. These competitions do not compete for who is first and who is second, but to demonstrate the beautiful postures and skills of the mules, horses and riders in front of the audience.

Most shops opened on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and set off firecrackers. From dawn to early morning, the whole city was filled with the sound of firecrackers. Although it is open, except for the shops selling food and other important daily necessities, everyone is not very busy. The shopkeepers can also take turns visiting temples, walking on the overpass, and listening to the opera.

Yuanxiao (glutinous rice balls) are on the market, and the climax of the New Year has arrived - the Lantern Festival (from the 13th to the 17th of the first lunar month). New Year's Eve is lively, but there is no moonlight; as for the Lantern Festival, the moon is bright in the sky. New Year's Day is decent, with bright red Spring Festival couplets posted in front of every house and people wearing new clothes, but it's not beautiful enough. During the Lantern Festival, lanterns are hung everywhere, and the whole street looks like a wedding, blazing and beautiful. Famous old shops have hundreds of lights hung out, some are all made of glass, some are all horns, some are gauze lanterns; some are of various colors, and some are all painted with "Dream of Red Mansions" or "Dream of Red Mansions" "Water Margin" story. This, in those days, was a kind of advertisement; once the lamp was hung, anyone could enter the shop to visit; at night, candles were lit in the lamp, so there were more viewers. This ad is not vulgar. Dried fruit shops also do a lot of miscellaneous business during the Lantern Festival, so they often come up with original ideas and make various ice lanterns, or use wheat seedlings to make one or two long green dragons to attract customers.

In addition to hanging lanterns, there are also flowers placed in the square. A fire was also lit in the City God's Temple, and tongues of fire came out of the mouth, ears, nose, and eyes of the clay statue of the judge. Sky lanterns were set up in the park and flew into the sky like giant stars.

Men and women came out to walk on the moon, look at the lanterns, and watch the fireworks; the people on the street were crowded and motionless. In the old society, women rarely went out, so they could get some freedom during the Lantern Festival.

Children buy all kinds of fireworks and set them off. Even if they don’t go to the street to be naughty, they can still play with sound and light at home. There are also lights at home: revolving lanterns - the original movie - palace lanterns, various paper lanterns, and gauze lanterns with little bells inside that tinkle when the time comes. Everyone must also eat glutinous rice balls. These are indeed beautiful and happy days.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Candengmo Temple, students went to school, adults went back to business as usual, and the New Year ended on the 19th day of the first lunar month. The twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month are the most leisurely times for people in rural society, and pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are also growing up, so everyone has to kill pigs and sheep to repay a year's hard work. After the Lantern Festival, the weather got warmer, and everyone got busy working again. Although Beijing is a city, it also celebrates the New Year along with rural society, and the celebration is extremely lively.

In the old society, celebrating the New Year was inseparable from superstition. Laba porridge, Guandong candy, and New Year’s Eve dumplings must be offered to the Buddha first, and then people can enjoy them. On New Year's Eve, we have to meet the God; on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we have to worship the God of Wealth and eat ingot soup (wontons). Some people also go to the God of Wealth to borrow paper ingots and burn incense. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the elderly should be blessed with stars and pray for longevity. Therefore, the biggest waste at that time was the money spent on wax paper horses. Nowadays, everyone is no longer superstitious, so we can save this expense and use it in useful places.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that today's children only celebrate the New Year happily and are not infected by superstition. They only have happiness but no fear - they are afraid of gods and ghosts. Perhaps, the Chinese New Year is not as lively as before, but it is so clear and healthy. In the past, people celebrated the New Year with the blessing of gods and ghosts. Now that everyone has been working for the rest of the year, everyone should also celebrate the New Year happily. Celebrity Prose about the Spring Festival Part 2

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. It can be said that it is the longest festival in the world so far. For a long time before the Spring Festival, there are various tea parties to welcome the Spring Festival and wish the year ahead. Before and after the Lantern Festival, there is also a celebration of old age, which lasts for a long time. Not only is it long, but it is also rich in content and extremely festive. It embodies the auspicious and peaceful cultural heritage, accumulates deep affection, and is a vivid display of my country's "harmony" culture. During the New Year, every household posts Spring Festival couplets, men, women and children are beaming with joy, and the sound of firecrackers is a conveyance and broadcast of the warm Spring Festival atmosphere.

During the Spring Festival this year, children and grandchildren from other places came to Rongcheng to celebrate the New Year, which was a lot of fun. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they all went back. The parents wanted to stay longer, but because they had to go to work, they had to give up. I experienced the mood of my parents when they were alive: I was working in other places at that time, and rarely went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year with my parents. Sometimes I went back to enjoy the joy of sitting around the fire at home, and I only stayed for a few days. Before leaving, my mother always nags: I don’t know if you have bought your ticket, otherwise I will keep you for two more days.

Nowadays, my parents have passed away long ago, and I reunite with my family to celebrate the New Year, experiencing the mood of the elders celebrating the New Year in the past. Whenever during the Spring Festival, I can’t help but recall the scene of celebrating the New Year at home when I was a child. Even though my parents were not well-off at that time, they always tried their best to let their children have a good New Year, buying them new clothes, giving them New Year’s money, and doing a good job. Vegetable rice. Whether you can live a good year seems to be a measure of the ability of your parents. Eat well, play well, dress well, all are auspicious words, and the harmonious atmosphere is most fully created only in this festival, which integrates various sentiments of nostalgia, family affection, and family affection. The Spring Festival can be said to be a family festival.

In the new era of reform and opening up, amidst the call for promoting excellent traditional culture, the Spring Festival is also more innovative. However, there are also people who go to foreign countries for "Valentine's Day". There are also hopes that our country will have its own "Valentine's Day", such as Lantern Festival or Chinese Valentine's Day. Chinese Valentine's Day is the legendary day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. In classical poetry, Qin Guan, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars are spreading hatred, and the distance between silver and Han is dark. The golden wind and jade dew meet, and they win over countless people in the world. / Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, I can't bear to look at the magpie bridge On the way home, if love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night?" ("Magpie Bridge Immortal")

Lantern viewing and lantern tours are affectionate activities during the Spring Festival. On the night of the Lantern Festival (i.e. Lantern Festival), I and my relatives who were about to settle abroad gathered at a riverside restaurant. Outside the window, the bright moon was in the sky, and fireworks were blooming in the sky. As the saying goes: "The clouds cover the Mid-Autumn Festival moon, and the rain hits the Lantern Festival lanterns." This year's Lantern Festival moon is so bright. Thinking that if I go to Jianglou again next year, my relatives will be far away in a foreign country, I really feel like: "I go up to Jianglou alone and feel quiet, the moonlight is like water and sky. Where are the people who came to watch the moon together? The scenery is vaguely like last year." Suddenly, in the midst of joy, I felt a little sad. Thoughts: I recently re-read "Dream of Red Mansions" and I feel that the author's brilliance is in writing the sad feelings revealed by the characters in situations that often best reflect the glory and wealth, or when enjoying the beautiful scenery in good times. For example, Concubine Jia returned to the province to celebrate the Lantern Festival. At that time, the Grand View Garden had been completed. The garden was filled with smoke and colorful flowers, and it was full of peace, wealth and romance. But when Concubine Jia met with her mother and other relatives in Yuanchun, she only sobbed and cried, while others were "tears speechless." For half a day, Concubine Jia managed to hold back her sorrow and smile, comforting Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, saying: "Since I was sent to that place where no one can see people that day, it is so easy for me to go home today. Instead of talking and laughing, I started to cry. I’m leaving soon, but I don’t know how long it will be before I come back!” When I said this, I couldn’t help but choke up again. The author has repeatedly written about the sadness of characters "crying" and "tears pouring down like rain". This is when they are at their most glorious and glorious.

The New Year is the beginning of the year again. You are not allowed to say depressing words, and you should say "New Year" when you meet. There are horizontal drapes on the beams that say "bring me wealth", vertical strips on the pillars that say "everything goes well with the new year", squares on the ceiling that say "Purple Qi comes from the east", and on the door there are "Guoen Jia Qing, life and prosperity". " couplet. The wall is not very clean to begin with, so a few New Year pictures, "wealth-seeking" and "fat pig arches" can be put up to repair the wall. Write down what you want in your heart, draw it and stick it on the wall. It feels like your wishful thinking has come true!

Good people don’t gamble. To play mahjong, you should go to Bada Alley, where there are fine dominoes, hardwood card tables, and beauties. But during the Chinese New Year, almost everyone starts gambling, such as Pai Gow, Zhuang Yuan Hong, and Hu Mo Drink Six, which are suitable for all ages. The opening of the gambling ban can be extended to the Lantern Festival, which is the only family entertainment. Children never get tired of playing with fireworks. The large flower boxes in Jiulongzhai, with seven to nine floors, are so refurbished that the children were stunned to see them. Soaring cannons, two kickers, peace flowers, seven flying blasts, cannons hitting Xiangyang, and the "flag fire" that we think we are proud of and can be compared with rockets, continue all night long from New Year's Eve to dawn.

Except for a small hole in the door of the oil and salt shop, all the shops on the street are boarded up. Inside, gongs and drums are often beating and beating wildly, without rules or discipline. It is said that the guys are there to vent their anger. A year of accumulated resentment. The young ladies and young wives were all put on makeup and makeup, and all the mothers in Sanhe County put a fluttering red velvet flower in their hair. Wherever there are older girls and younger wives, there will be more young men swarming around. As a result, Changdian was packed to the brim. There was not much to see in Haiwang Village except for a few open-air teahouses with a few children with runny noses sitting there, but the entrance was packed to death! The antiques and jade stalls in the Fire Temple and the bookstalls and painting studios in the Earth Temple are full of people watching, but few people are buying. When the sky is clear and snow is falling, the streets are filled with mud. When the cool breeze blows, water drops turn into ice. People roll around in the ice and snow, enjoying it very much. "Drink bean juice, just pickle vegetables, glass trumpet big sand goose", there is still enough temptation for everyone. In addition, places like Caishen Temple, Baiyun Temple, and Yonghe Temple are all crowded with people and people look at each other. If you go there, your nose and ears will turn red from the cold.

The New Year’s carnival has been postponed to the 15th. But I remember that one year ended a few days early, and that was the "First Year of the Republic of China". On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, amid universal celebrations, Yuan Shikai ordered Cao Kun's troops stationed in Lumicang, the third town of the Northern Army, to mutiny and loot. Two days for businessmen and people of Pingjin and Tianjin. This first amazing year after the founding of the People's Republic of China is something I can't forget to this day.
