Introduce the customs of northern Shaanxi, 500 words! Urgent! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The customs in northern Shaanxi are full of mystery. It's the middle of the twelfth lunar month, grinding white flour and pressing cake powder, making tofu, making yellow wine, raw bean sprouts, steaming yellow steamed bread, frying cake corners, frying oil noodles, making meatballs, making crispy chicken, making roasted meat, making frozen meat and making pea noodles. Those old men and women, no matter what they cook or eat, always mumble to themselves and offer sacrifices to various gods first. Some even go to the Jade Emperor Temple, Longwang Temple, Mountain Temple and Niangniang Temple to pay tribute after dark. When I was a child, dolls in rural areas had to cut their hair and said, "No matter whether they have money or not, they can't use wool for the New Year." At the same time, to make a "jujube card" for children is to put red dates and straw stalks on it with red lines, hang a copper coin on it and set off firecrackers below, which is not only a blessing, but also a hope for a better life and a mascot to ward off evil spirits.

In the coming year, you will go to every village in northern Shaanxi, whether it is a young man in Mao Ge, a woman in Dandan, Ge Jun, an old woman with little feet, or an old man wrapped in a towel with a sheep's belly. Every family should buy incense, paper (yellow paper, hemp paper), firecrackers and calendars on party days, regardless of wealth. After the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, going to the market, rehearsing Yangko, rolling, cooking New Year's rice, cleaning, cleaning clothes and quilts, pasting New Year pictures, cutting window grilles, pasting enough paper, writing couplets and wearing new clothes became the main theme of every village, and men, women and children were busy becoming gyroscopes. The busiest time is New Year's Eve, and the northern Shaanxi dialect is called "the end of the month". As soon as I get up in the morning, adults are busy frying oil cakes, steamed bread and fried dough sticks. This kind of frying is difficult to finish in two or three hours. Mother-in-law should roll pea noodles, which are as thin as paper and shiny. At noon, she usually eats oil cakes and steamed buns. You still have to offer heaven and earth before eating. After eating, adults lead children to symbolically take various foods, such as libation (millet in a bottle of cold water), hemp paper nailed with iron paper (with copper coins printed on it), incense, yellow paper and so on. First, they burned paper and incense for their old ancestors, then their dead relatives, and finally they went to the temple on the mountain. Every family has been like this for generations. This scene is really a great spectacle of the New Year in northern Shaanxi: from 10 to noon 12, the mountains are full of depressions, and wherever there are graves and temples, people burn paper, burn incense and set off firecrackers. After returning home, I posted couplets to stick grilles, cleaned the land god kiln in the yard and filled the water tank. At dusk, I took out a basket of ice from the ice beach and put it on both sides of each hole (there was a drought in northern Shaanxi for ten years and nine years, hoping for more rain and water in the coming year and more exorcism). As night falls, lanterns hanging outside the windows of every household illuminate the whole mountain village. The fire tower in front of the temple on the mountain burns brightly, and firecrackers in the mountain village keep ringing. After every household has eaten noodles, adults have to burn three incense burners a night, and after the first incense burner, they will lead the dolls to buckle their heads. One of the important customs is "beating vinegar charcoal": put a red-hot charcoal in an iron spoon. Then pour vinegar on it and turn around in every corner of the house. The original intention is to exorcise evil spirits, but it has the function of sterilization and disinfection. Later, elders stood behind the door with knives, axes and rolling pins to suppress evil spirits. One of the most important customs of the old people on New Year's Eve is to go up the mountain to watch the celestial phenomena: after people fall asleep, the old people quietly go to the mountain ridge to look up at the stars and observe the astronomical phenomena. It seems that the harvest in 2008 is good or bad and the country is good or bad. On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to their elders, and the greeting is "so-and-so elder, in good health". On this day, every village usually plays the organ and takes out gongs and drums for good luck. A busy month has passed, and the first day of leisure is the most leisurely day of the year for people in northern Shaanxi. On the second, third and fourth days of the second year, the yangko in the countryside will be lively. Before making trouble, we naturally go to the temple to make trouble, and then go door to door to sing auspicious yangko, which means seeking peace. There are plenty of water boats at night, turning at nine. Among them, those who took the first boat in the waterwheel and those who stole the lamp at the turn of the Nine Songs all wanted to have children as soon as possible. In the old days, there was a saying that boys could be raised, and the custom of thousands of years has been passed down to this day. On the sixth and seventh day of Lunar New Year's Eve, the food is similar to that on the first day of Lunar New Year's Eve. There is a strange custom these three days: hanging lanterns and setting off fireworks. There is a custom of jumping fireworks at night. Every household consciously takes out their bedding, pillows and clothes when jumping fireworks, saying, "All diseases are burned, clean and disease-free all year round." At this time, adults will carefully survey the small insects on the cave wall and predict the good or bad luck of the village through the observation of small insects. This custom in northern Shaanxi is full of mystery and temptation.
