Spring Festival in Hometown

The Spring Festival in our hometown has its own unique characteristics. From New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be something exciting every day. Although everyone is busy during the Spring Festival, if we compare busyness with joy, I think joy should account for more of it.

New Year’s Eve is the most worthy of our celebration. Because at this moment, except for special reasons, generally everyone will return home, reunite with their families, have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, talk about the anecdotes of parting, taste delicious food with relish, and enjoy The joy of reunion.

The fireworks we see are becoming more and more beautiful, and people are setting off more and more fireworks. Especially this year, I feel that there are many changes. big. In addition to the Spring Festival Gala at eight o'clock in the evening, around twelve o'clock, that is, at midnight, we can hear bursts of fierce firecrackers and firecrackers. Why is this?

From the first day of the lunar month to about the tenth day of the lunar month, we all go to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings. When you go, you usually bring some gifts to express your politeness. The same goes for relatives and friends coming to visit. Whether we are visiting, or relatives and friends are visiting, the children must have made a lot of money, because they can get the New Year's money from the adults, and they feel so happy holding the New Year's money in their hands!

In the first month of the first month, every business will set off firecrackers when they open their doors for the first time. Businesses usually start work after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and they will also set off a large number of firecrackers, and some will set off fireworks, all of which present a festive scene. During the first month of the year, there are also various entertainment activities in our hometown, such as calligraphers writing and presenting Spring Festival couplets for everyone, and fans of Peking Opera and Yue Opera organizing concerts.

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is another important festival during our Spring Festival. Every household will buy glutinous rice balls or make glutinous rice balls by themselves. Eating glutinous rice balls means that we are all reunited, harmonious and beautiful.

The Spring Festival in my hometown is colorful, and the happiest ones are of course our children.

Why does everyone say that the Spring Festival is good? Because in the Spring Festival, you can be happy, get together with relatives, eat delicious food... and more importantly, everything starts from here!

The winter vacation has begun, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye, a good day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. On this day, there is a lively atmosphere everywhere.

Since all the relatives would gather at my house, my father and grandma were busy early in the morning. Dad got on his bicycle and hurriedly went to the supermarket to buy new year's goods. We have to take into account that a group of children will get together and be crazy and noisy, so we have to prepare some snacks and toys that they love to eat and play with; we also have to think about the melon seeds and peanuts that are essential for adults to talk and laugh... In this way, when Dad comes back, the basket of the car will be full of big and small bags. Grandma went to the vegetable market and carefully selected the children's favorite dishes and the adults' drinks, until the vegetable basket could no longer be filled.

In an environment where everyone is busy, afternoon arrives.

I'd been expecting the knock on the door since the afternoon. When relatives come, the first words they say after opening the door must be "I wish you a happy New Year and all the best" or something like that. Gradually, all the relatives arrived. While helping their parents with the New Year's Eve dinner, they chatted together around the round table. In normal days, everyone has no time to communicate with each other due to busy work. Now, they all take this opportunity to speak freely. Let’s talk about the work situation in the past year, and share the hardships and emotions in life. There is no gap between them, and they are extremely close to each other.

My older brothers, sisters, younger brothers and sisters and I met again, and now we are like ducks in water. The adults have their own limits and have no time to care about us, so we just "do whatever we want": hide in a room and sit on the big bed together. We exchanged interesting stories about school, and from time to time someone would be so amused that he almost fell off the bed. The funny brother's specialty is magic, and he gets bursts of applause from time to time.

Night falls slowly, and thousands of houses in the world are brightly lit. "It's time to eat..." Following the greeting from his father and grandma, the little brother hurriedly jumped to the table and looked at the table of delicious dishes with envy. At this time, the adults said in unison: "I almost forgot this important thing." We also realized that we haven't received the New Year's money yet. Although we have experienced this tradition for many years, I still feel a little embarrassed to accept the red envelope.

A large family gathers around the table to eat the delicious New Year’s Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. What could be happier than this?

After eating the last meal of 2004, the last program of the year is immediately followed - setting off fireworks to welcome the arrival of the new year. When we walked out of the house, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival seemed to be exaggerated outside, and it became less cold. One after another, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky. We raised our heads and were immersed in this beautiful sky. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Oh!" As we count down together, the New Year finally arrives in our cheers. The joy and joy are beyond words, everyone is smiling and staring at each other, not to mention how happy they are

2 Spring Festival

Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, it is the Chinese New Year. Among Chinese traditional festivals, this is the most important and lively festival. Since the Lunar New Year is celebrated at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, people also call this festival "Spring Festival".

Chinese people have many traditional customs during the Spring Festival. From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, people begin to prepare for the New Year. During this period, every household has to do a general cleaning, buy New Year's goods, put up window grilles, hang New Year pictures, write Spring Festival couplets, steam rice cakes, prepare various foods, and prepare to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.

The eve of the Spring Festival is called "New Year's Eve". New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion. The whole family sits together, eats a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, talks and laughs until dawn, this is called staying up late. As soon as the bell rings at midnight on New Year's Eve, people still eat dumplings. In ancient times, zero o'clock was called "Zi Shi". Zi Shi on New Year's Eve is the time when the old and new years turn over. People eat dumplings at this time, which means "Geng Sui Jiao Zi". This is also the origin of the name "dumplings".

After New Year’s Eve, it’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, people visit relatives, see friends, and pay New Year greetings to each other.

New Year greetings are an important custom during the Spring Festival. When paying New Year greetings, everyone should say some auspicious words to wish happiness and health.

3 Paste the Chinese character "福"

During the Spring Festival, every household must paste the Chinese character "福", large and small, on their doors, walls and lintels. Posting the word "福" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in my country. According to the record of "Meng Liang Lu": "On New Year's Day, we shop for department stores, draw door charms, and welcome the Spring Festival..."; The door god hangs a bell, nails peach charms, puts up spring signs, and offers sacrifices to the ancestors." The "spring card" in the article is the word "福" written on red paper

The current interpretation of the word "福" is "happiness", but in the past it meant "blessing" and "luck" ". Posting the word "福" during the Spring Festival, whether it is now or in the past, expresses people's yearning for a happy life and their wishes for a better future. In order to more fully reflect this yearning and wish, the people simply paste the word "福" upside down, which means "happiness has fallen" and "blessing has arrived". There is also a rumor among the people that the word "福" is pasted upside down. Zhu Zhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, used the word "福" as a secret signal to prepare for murder. The kind-hearted Empress Ma decided to avoid the tragedy of killing, so she ordered everyone in the city to put a label with the character "福" on their doors before dawn. Naturally, no one dared to disobey Queen Ma's order, so every door had the word "福" written on it. One family among them was illiterate and actually pasted the word "福" upside down. On the next day, the emperor sent people to go to the streets and found that every family had pasted the label with the character "福", and one family had the character "福" upside down. The emperor was furious after hearing the report, and immediately ordered the imperial guards to kill the entire family. Empress Ma realized what happened and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "that family knew you are coming today, so had purposely turned the label with the character "福" upside down. Doesn't that mean "luck arrives"?" As soon as the emperor heard this, he ordered Let him go, and a catastrophe is finally eliminated. From then on, people began to paste the character "福" upside down, firstly to bring good luck, and secondly to commemorate Queen Ma.

Folks also use the word "Fu" to make various patterns in detail, such as longevity stars, longevity peaches, carps jumping over dragon gates, good harvests, dragons and phoenixes, etc. In the past, there was a folk saying that "on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, every family writes big characters." The word "福" used to be mostly handwritten, but now it is sold in markets and stores.

The Spring Festival is an ancient festival in my country and the most important festival throughout the year. How to celebrate this festival has formed some relatively fixed customs and habits over thousands of years of historical development. There are many It is still passed down to this day 4.

If the "fire master" cannot be lit at once, there will be no festive atmosphere in the entire Spring Festival. The "fire master" will have to be lit for one night. If the fire is cut off in the middle of the tour, it means that the family has lost its incense for one year. It doesn’t feel festive anymore.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in my country, and various places have unique customs during the New Year. This winter vacation, I made a comprehensive observation and investigation of the Spring Festival customs in my hometown Dancheng. It’s true that you don’t know anything until you leave, and you can’t see anything once you leave. The Spring Festival in my hometown is really colorful. There are five customs in chronological order.

Sacrifice to the stove: The Spring Festival in my hometown usually kicks off with a sacrifice to the stove. In the folk song "Twenty-three Tanggua Guang" refers to the sacrifice to the stove on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month every year. There is a saying in my hometown that "there are three officials, four civilians, four boat owners and five". This year I celebrated the New Year at my aunt's house, so I worshiped the stove on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Auntie invited the Kitchen God paper statue early in the morning, boiled sugar, and cooked red bean rice... It was already evening when everything was finished, and a series of procedures such as lighting candles, offering incense, and making offerings were completed. I heard from my aunt that the purpose of offering sacrifices to the stove is to let the Kitchen God "say good things to God and ensure peace in the lower realms."

Sweeping the dust: After the stove sacrifice is held, preparations for the New Year begin formally. Every year from the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, people in my hometown call this period "Spring Day", also called "Dust Sweeping Day". Sweeping dust means year-end cleaning. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household must clean the environment and wash various utensils.

Posting Spring Festival couplets with the word "福": Every New Year's Eve, every household pastes the purchased Spring Festival couplets one after another. Those who enjoy themselves decorate the doors inside and outside the house with paper and ink. Prosperous. After posting the Spring Festival couplets, every household will remember to paste the word "福" in large and small sizes on the door and walls, and they are posted upside down, which is a homophony of "福来", expressing people's good wishes for the New Year.

New Year greetings: It is an important activity during the Spring Festival. Relatives, friends, and neighbors congratulate each other on the New Year. There is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Ancestor worship: People in my hometown will never forget their deceased ancestors during the festival. Chinese New Year is no exception. Offering food to express one's sincerity is a common form of ancestor worship in our hometown.

Through this investigation, I have a comprehensive understanding of the various customs of people in my hometown during the Spring Festival. Every activity entrusts people's wishes. Of course, with the development of the times and the acceleration of the pace of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, people are constantly adding some new forms to the Spring Festival, such as the annual Spring Festival Gala, which has become a "big meal" on New Year's Eve. Many people also travel during the Spring Festival... This makes the Spring Festival more colorful. However, I think that as a traditional festival, its unique national characteristics and local customs will never be abandoned. How to make the Spring Festival have both traditional local characteristics and the flavor of the times will be the continuous pursuit of wealthy people. .
