The Spring Festival is the most distinctive traditional festival of the Chinese nation. It marks the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. No, it's still half a month before the Spring Festival, and every household is busy buying new year's goods and cleaning. Sauced sausages are hanging under the eaves again.

The Spring Festival was called "New Year's Day" in ancient times. Yuan is the beginning, Dan is the morning, and New Year's Day is the first morning of the year. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian created the taichu calendar Law, which determined the first month as the beginning of the year and the first day of the first month as the New Year. Since then, the custom of the Lunar New Year has been handed down. Fortunately, the ancients put the Spring Festival in winter, which made the originally cold season more lively and warm.

When I was a child, I always counted the days with my fingers, hoping that the Spring Festival would come soon. Because you can wear new clothes, eat delicious cakes and snacks during the Spring Festival, and more importantly, you can buy your favorite toys and firecrackers with lucky money. Therefore, it is most appropriate to say that 2008 is the happiest festival for children. On new year's eve, adults are busy frying melon seeds and peanuts, killing chickens and cooking ducks; Children are busy buying firecrackers in the market or making a snowman at the door. From time to time, I ran into the kitchen to grab two fried peanuts or melon seeds, stuffed them into my pocket and went out to share them with my friends. At this time, adults will not scold children as usual. Even if the pots and pans are broken, they can only say, "It's safe to break!" " That's all. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming, so everything should be auspicious and get off to a good start. It's getting dark, and families begin to have a family reunion dinner. Needless to say, that meal must be the most abundant in a year, and it is time to comfort yourself after a busy year. There is a pot of braised fish in the dish, "there is fish (surplus) every year"! While drinking wine, the adults chatted happily, and they raised their fists and raised their glasses together. The child ate in his mouth and stared at the bowl. Chopsticks can't hold their favorite dishes, so they just jump on the stool and reach for them. While adults were not paying attention, they took a cup playfully and secretly took a sip. I was so drunk that I frowned and stuck out my tongue, and the adults laughed even harder. As a result, a happy atmosphere filled the lively room and rippled in everyone's heart. ...

After eating a good meal, the family packed their dishes and chopsticks, then sat together, eating delicious snacks and fruits, and guarding their old age. Tang Shiyun: "Nine winters and thirty nights, cold and warm. I have been on the fourth watch, and I am one year old. " Song Meng Lao Yuan said in Tokyo's "Dream of China" ... that an ordinary person's house is sitting around the stove and called "Shousui". "Visible, ancient. At that time, unlike now, you could sit in front of the TV, watch the wonderful "Spring Festival Evening" while eating, and then have a spiritual meal after enjoying a delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, Shousui wouldn't really sit up all night at that time. Twelve o'clock arrived, and the children sat there and pulled the adults to the door to set off fireworks. "One-year-old firecrackers", when the loud firecrackers and our happy laughter, gorgeous fireworks reflected on our red face, we are one year older. Put away the last "closing gun" and bid farewell to the old, so I closed the door and the family slept contentedly for a year.

The next day, I was awakened by the "opening cannon" which means to welcome the New Year, so I got up lazily in the shouts of my mother. Put on the new clothes that have been prepared long ago, put the lucky money under the pillow in your pocket, eat the sweet sesame dumplings, and pay New Year greetings to your grandparents, grandfathers and other elders. At that time, it would be very good to get twenty or thirty yuan of lucky money from relatives and elders, enough to show off in front of friends. Children's lucky money is generally not used by adults, except a small part for children, and the rest are put away. Usually, I buy some books or stationery for children.

Of course, in addition to the happiest children, there are also those wanderers in other places. A wanderer is a flying kite. No matter how far you go, the other end will always be attached to a warm home. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the wanderer from afar comes to his hometown where he was born and raised with fatigue and yearning. Looking at the red lanterns hanging high on the familiar doors and watching your parents miss you day and night to meet themselves at the door in the distance is the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of the wanderer and the greatest comfort in my heart. Yes! What could be happier than going back to my hometown and seeing my parents live a healthy life? Although I can't understand the mood of a wanderer, it is rare for a family to get together and get together with relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. It must be fun.

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is coming. Chinese New Year is really lively and happy, but there are also heavy responsibilities behind it. We have not only grown up by one year, but also gained a hope and thought more about life. Facing the new year, how to adjust yourself, meet the new pressure and competition, and face the new challenges with a brand-new self. I think this is the real meaning of Chinese New Year!

Spring Festival with a fading flavor

The sun and the moon change, the seasons change, and it is the end of a year. 2007 has slipped away unconsciously and is about to enter the long river of history. In 20 days, it will be the year 2008 of the lunar calendar.

To tell you the truth, I feel quite bored at the thought of Chinese New Year. In my heart, I don't like Chinese New Year. Now the Chinese New Year is far less meaningful than when I was a child, and the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker. Many customs have become superficial. Chinese New Year gives me the feeling, in a word, tired!

Speaking of the Spring Festival, I miss my childhood. At that time, the standard of living was not high, and my parents were honest farmers, with little economic income, but they had to support our four sisters and brothers. I admire my parents' financial management ability. Compared with people our age, our children are much more comfortable than others. During the Chinese New Year, no matter what, parents will make each of us a new suit, get a pair of new shoes and give each of us lucky money on New Year's Eve. Although it is not much, it is a gift from my parents. On the morning of the Spring Festival, when we wake up, there will be candy and snacks prepared by our parents at the bedside, and then we will eat some snacks and happily pay a New Year call to our parents. The so-called New Year greetings are just a few auspicious words.

After breakfast, I invited my neighbors and classmates who grew up together to visit the farmhouse in the village and pay New Year greetings to the elders. The elders are also happy to take out candy, snacks and other things that have been prepared for everyone. Laughing and laughing all the way, happy and happy. Friends will get together in the afternoon, either watching movies or playing games.

After leaving school for work, no matter where I am, no matter how busy I am, I have to rush home every Spring Festival, just because there are my relatives and my concerns at home. Perhaps, at that time, I was just a child, full of pure nature, just want to have a good time in the New Year.

After marriage, I spent the first year in my hometown with my parents-in-law. In the next few years, we will run at both ends, and our home is more than ten kilometers away from home. Whenever we are free, we will go back and have a look. Therefore, for us, there is no feeling that others are particularly eager and looking forward to the New Year.

The reunion dinner on New Year's Eve is usually eaten in our hometown. As far as I am concerned, our family reunion dinner is always late. When others start watching the Spring Festival Gala, we may be on our way home. When I walked into the shivering house, I felt the warmth of home. When you get home, it's time to watch TV comfortably. However, the pile of clothes that have just been changed must be washed. If you don't wash it at night, the next day will be the Spring Festival. You have to go back to your hometown and come back at night I still have to wash it at night, and I have to go to my parents' house on the second day of the first month. If this drags on, it is better to sacrifice the entertainment time on New Year's Eve and do the housework. Besides, I have a question. I can't see where the dirty clothes are. If I have, I must clean it up in time. I don't know if this is a shortcoming. When I finish my work, the Spring Festival Gala will be nearly half over. New Year's Eve, which should be full of fun, is not as relaxed as usual for me.

I remember one morning on New Year's Day, it was foggy, and our family of three went back to their hometown, but we didn't meet anyone along the way. After the farmer's market, it's empty, empty. I told my husband that the first day of the first month is the most boring day of the year. When is the market not crowded except the first day? How can there be no one on the road? This foggy morning, except for the occasional firecrackers, shows that today is different, and the others are really not as lively as usual.

In my hometown, neighbors don't visit each other as often as before, but it is better when the weather is sunny. We live together and wish each other a happy new year. Everyone stays at home when it rains. My father-in-law's sisters and brothers all live in the same village, and it seems to be an established rule to pay New Year greetings to each other during the Spring Festival. As junior students, we are seldom at home, so it is reasonable for our families to visit New Year during the Spring Festival. In the afternoon, they do things and play cards. At this time, I became the most abandoned person. My in-laws have nothing to do. Let me do it. Playing cards is not my job, and watching TV seems to be nothing particularly good. Turn on the channel, New Year greetings are everywhere, and I don't want to see those new year greetings that are just a formality.

In the past, during the Spring Festival, the cultural station in the town would rehearse many recreational activities, starting from the afternoon of the first day of junior high school and taking turns in the town; The cinema has also prepared films to be shown during the Spring Festival for everyone to watch. However, now, all this is gone. Even if there is, few people go to see it. Everyone has a TV. Who wants to watch those things?

Dinner is also eaten in my hometown, and the handmade noodles are the same every year. It seems that many parts of the country are used to wrapping jiaozi in the Spring Festival, and wrapping jiaozi seems to be a festive event. Our place is different from other places. On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, except jiaozi, other festivals never include jiaozi, and it is even more unlucky to include jiaozi in the Spring Festival. This is a long-standing custom, and no one can tell the specific truth.

Let's go back to our house after dinner. I will go to my mother's house to pay New Year's greetings the next day, and then go one by one. Sometimes when I meet relatives and friends who are married for their birthdays, I have to catch up with two families in one day. I'm not hungry here, but I have to serve dinner there. Really tired and tired! Spring Festival, in a sense, because everyone is busy with work and has no time to get together, the Spring Festival has become a time for everyone to visit relatives and friends.

I often tell my husband that Chinese New Year is really tiring and I feel uneasy every day. In fact, living conditions have improved now, 360 days a year, and every day is like Chinese New Year. Who cares what to eat? In the past, only during the Spring Festival did people have good clothes and food. But it's different now. Wear whatever you want, eat whatever you want, and sleep in bed when you are not at work. A family of three can do whatever they want. The taste is getting weaker this year. During the Spring Festival, I no longer feel too much fun, but more tired physically and mentally.

However, in any case, as an ancient traditional festival, the Spring Festival is still the same, the hometown is still the same, and friends and relatives are still walking around.
