An essay on inaction and local conditions and customs

Composition of local customs in hometown

In the embrace of the Qinling Mountains and the Loess Plateau, there is an ancient and magical plain, where the land is fertile, the products are rich, the climate is favorable, and the drought and flood guarantee the harvest. It is more than 0/00 km wide from north to south and 400 km long from east to west. Eight hundred Li is called Qinchuan, and this is Guanzhong. History can be traced back to 5000 years ago, when Emperor Yan and Huangdi started the greatest beginning of the Chinese nation. King Wu cut the Zhou Dynasty here and established the Zhou Dynasty; The first emperor swept Liuhe and established the Qin Dynasty here. Chu and Han fought for hegemony and established the Han Dynasty here. The flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty pushed Chinese civilization to the highest peak in the world. Every inch of land here is condensed with heavy historical accumulation and a lot of magic and mystery. Objectively speaking, the capacity for drinking of Guanzhong people is not outstanding. The east is not superior to Henan people, and the north is not as good as northern Shaanxi people and Mongolian ancients. Even compared with Hanzhong people in the south, Guanzhong people may not be able to take advantage. But because Guanzhong people are honest and frank, they are not good at words. So, he drinks whatever you say. You dare to say that each person 10 glass may not be finished at all, but as long as you keep your voice, 10 glass of wine will be poured into his stomach. However, Guanzhong people will not tolerate your cheating and playing tricks on him, although you may have no malice. This has happened to me. Several hard-working villages in Guanzhong visited and studied somewhere in the south and were warmly received. When drinking, you pushed me and let me, and finally decided to propose a toast to everyone. The Guanzhong people didn't say anything, but their necks leaned back and all bottomed out. I had a glib talk with some local guests, and with their glib talk, I actually occupied Li Er. Guanzhong man can't stand this cowardly spirit. He took a sip of the bottle, then turned around, pulled the local people up from their chairs, pressed them to the ground, and forced them to drink, which scared several hosts' faces. Therefore, drinking with Guanzhong people is best not to violate the gentleman's agreement. Anyone who has been to Xi 'an by the way will never forget Xi 'an's snacks, especially the night market. During the day, the road is bright and there is nothing. At night, there will be hundreds of food stalls, and the wide roads are crowded with small lights, which merge into an ocean of lights. There are mainly water fish, mashed melon seeds, noodles, jiaozi, oily noodles, buckwheat noodles and other snacks in the night market, as well as various snacks of the Hui people in Guanzhong, which form two camps of the night market. The night market is cheap and affordable, with a strong local flavor, which has a strong main attraction for both foreign guests and Xi citizens. Even the young people who talk about it regard eating night markets as an indispensable part of love. Except Xi 'an, almost all towns and places in Guanzhong have night markets. Become a food culture with obvious regional characteristics. In fact, long before the appearance of city night, the night market in rural areas of Guanzhong has a history of thousands of years, but in different ways. At present, the oldest form of night market is still used in rural Guanzhong, that is, women and men who work in the fields under the stage during the day become the owners of food stalls for festivals and funerals, but the varieties are nothing more than oil cakes, fermented grains and twists, although the varieties are few and simple, very fresh. The location of stalls is generally crowded, which often hinders the flow of people and adds a lively atmosphere. In retrospect, this is the source of the most authentic Guanzhong night market. Experts buried their reputation in Guanzhong area. Due to its profound historical and cultural accumulation, there are a large number of cultural relics here, as well as many wizards and experts. For example, in my hometown of hua county, there is a calligrapher named Wu, who has never been known by anyone in his decades of life. People around him only know that he can write. When I was a child, I was catching up with the Cultural Revolution. Holding a lime bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, he wrote slogans along the wall. We followed him and still moved into the bucket. No one can imagine how good his writing is. Until the end of the Cultural Revolution, several great calligraphers in a city's calligraphy and painting collection came across a painting by Wu Lao, entitled "Building the Capital Construction of Farmland Water Conservancy", and were immediately impressed by the exquisite calligraphy art with extremely high fingering. Several experts made a special trip to Shaanxi and Wu's hometown, eager to get a kind of calligraphy ink that avoids political tendencies and make it a permanent collection of the museum. Unfortunately, Wu Lao refused to write. Later, someone showed Wu Lao's ink at the book fair, and the result was the best. Even many first-class calligraphers lamented themselves in this way. Unfortunately, Wu will never know how high his level is, just as the blind man will never know that his "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" will become a swan song. There are countless masters like Guanzhong. When you go to live in the countryside, you may meet painters, doctors, craftsmen, literary historians, Shaanxi opera singers and so on at any time. Their level is often beyond people's expectation. It's perfect to describe Guan Zhong with outstanding people and wizards. The square farming in the courtyard town is like a flower stand. Guanzhong people's carefulness in farming and carelessness in life just formed a strong contrast. Come to Guanzhong, stand at the northern foot of Qinling Mountain, commanding, and you can see the land of Qinchuan, which is endless and flat as a mirror. All roads, all ridges, cut the fertile land in order. This is of course related to the ingenuity of nature, but it is inseparable from the meticulous trimming of generations of Guanzhong people. Agricultural work in Guanzhong area is generally busy only in summer and autumn, and people are more at leisure all winter. Guanzhong people are not good at going out to do business, so they put almost all their energy and thoughts on farmland. When leveling the land, they carefully made it. When plowing, they don't even need a plow. They felt that the land was not easy to cultivate, so they plowed it shovel by shovel. After plowing, they applied base fertilizer, and then ridged with ropes, just like flower beds, which are very suitable for crop growth. After sowing the seeds, they are also very serious about the growth management of crops, whether it is watering, fertilizing or seedling grafting, everything is meticulous. Over time, they not only know every inch of land like the back of their hands, but also know almost every crop they grow like the back of their hands.
