Folk composition

Our country has a long history, beautiful scenery and rich products, and naturally there is no folklore. Now let me talk about some traditional festivals.

There is a word "Yuanxiao" in the name of the Lantern Festival. In fact, we will eat Yuanxiao in the morning and stir-fry corn in the evening. After the ignition, you can skip it. However, jumping over fire is a custom in rural areas, which is generally not available in cities.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the name of a solar term. On this day, people sweep graves and go for an outing, and the whole day is sad, just like the scene described in Qingming.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many activities in the valley, such as beating eggs, eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. Zongzi is a triangular food with reed wrapped around glutinous rice and other foods. The appearance is yellow-green or brown, and the stuffing inside is varied, fragrant but not greasy. The origin of dragon boat racing is such a story: there was a patriotic poet Qu Yuan in Chu State. At that time, the situation in Chu was very tense. Qu Yuan came up with a clever plan and reported it to the King of Chu. However, after listening to the slanderers of the villain, the king of Chu not only refused to listen to Qu Yuan's advice, but also rejected him very much. Later, the state of Chu perished, and the king of Chu was killed by the king of Qin. When he heard this, he threw a stone into the bubbling river and died. In order to prevent fish, insects, shrimps and crabs from eating his body, people poured realgar wine into the river and threw zongzi into the river. On this day, people also drink realgar wine and tie colorful threads on children's stomachs.

Well, that's about it. Maybe next time.

"A hundred miles of different winds, a thousand miles of different customs." Every place has different characteristics. Today, let me take you into Guangdong Folk Customs Grand View Garden!

herbal tea

Guangdong people like to drink herbal tea best, and think herbal tea is an insurance company for the body.

Sick clothes can cure diseases, and clothes that are not sick can also prevent diseases. If adults don't drink several cups of herbal tea (mostly Wang Laoji) in a month, and infants don't accept seven star tea once every 2-3 days, they think that their health is not guaranteed.

Bamboo tube water is one of Guangdong herbal teas, which has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, moistening lung and expelling toxin.

Commonly used herbal teas, such as Wuhua Tea, Xiasangju Tea, and Wanglaoji Tea, are all composed of medicines with bitter taste and cold nature, and are suitable for depression syndromes such as colds at four o'clock, headaches and fever. Among them, Wang Laoji has the coldest medicinal properties, while Wuhua Tea and Xiasangju are relatively peaceful. Children's seven star tea is composed of drugs with sweet taste and slight cold, which is suitable for children's colds, fever, irritability and gnashing of teeth. Suitable for people with strong constitution, frequent sore throat, dry stool, red tongue and yellow greasy fur.

A few pieces of dried tangerine peel to remove bitterness.

Guangdong Yingchunhua City

Guangzhou is known as the "Flower City", and its annual spring flower market attracts worldwide attention. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys of Guangzhou are filled with flowers and pots of oranges, and all major parks hold spring flower exhibitions, especially three days before New Year's Eve. Colored buildings and flower stands were erected on the main streets of each district, and flower farmers from four towns poured in one after another, arrayed themselves and peddled flowers and oranges. The flowers in Shili Long Street were in full bloom until the early morning of the first day. This is a unique Chinese New Year's Eve flower market in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou has been planting flowers for 1000 years. As early as the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, there were many fragrant flower fields in Zhuangtou Village on the south bank of the Pearl River. Ji Suxin, the pet of Liu Wei, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, was the flower girl in Zhuangtou. Kumquat symbolizes "good luck". Similarly, there are fruits handed down from generation to generation, which means prosperity from generation to generation: bergamot fruits, like palms, are as elegant and solemn as believers, and are favored by good men and women.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there were a large number of narcissus heads shipped from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. After people buy it back, they cultivate it carefully and control the flowering period by adjusting the water temperature and sunshine. Narcissus seems to understand people's feelings. It often blooms in turn at the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, or in the firecrackers on the first day of the first month of the first month, bringing people endless fun. As the saying goes, "Flowers bloom with wealth", which is just a good sign. In addition, daffodils are delicate, graceful and fragrant, which is a must for every family.

Of course, there are many folk customs in Guangdong. For example: make soup

Lion dancing, bamboo planting, and even herding cattle in some places ... Each place has different characteristics, waiting for us to discover!
