The Spring Festival is the most anticipated festival for all China people. On the day before the Spring Festival, families get together, put up Spring Festival couplets, give out red envelopes and set off firecrackers. Everyone can relax and welcome this year.
Sticking Spring Festival couplets is also one of the customs of the Spring Festival. Every household has to post it, and my family is no exception, but our Spring Festival couplets are a little different.
I was woken up by my mother early in the morning. It turns out that this afternoon is New Year's Eve, and I want to post Spring Festival couplets! There are also several guests in our family. My uncle's family and my parents have bought several strips of red paper and put them on the table. Seeing the long red paper on the table, I can't help wondering: "What about the Spring Festival couplets? What's the use of this red paper? " Mother took out a brush, inkstone, ink bottle and some newspapers and said, "Your uncle's handwriting is good. We will write Spring Festival couplets ourselves this year! " "good!" Mother spread the newspaper on the table, prepared a small bowl and poured half a bowl of water on the table. Uncle Yao picked up a brush and dipped it in clean water, stroking it at the mouth of the bowl to remove the excess water.
I picked up the ink bottle, added ink to the inkstone, and began to grind the ink with a grindstone. My uncle taught me to grind the ink on the inkstone like a circle. After a while, the ink was almost polished. Grandpa Yao touched the ink with a brush and touched the edge of the inkstone several times, and wrote seriously: Smooth sailing is good every year. Every time uncle Yao writes a word, I will take the red paper with me and let him write. Everything goes well. There are still many criticisms. "Your dad forgot to buy it!" "Why don't you," my uncle and I said in unison, "write on red paper first, and then cut it out." In this way, the "lucky star shines high" is completed! It's just a little big. "It's our turn." My parents walked to the door with Spring Festival couplets. "Remember to stick symmetry!"
"Don't worry!"
The cover of the ink box was unscrewed and squeezed carefully, and the ink slowly fell on the white inkstone. That ink is so black, just like there is no starry sky at night; That ink fragrance, that fragrance, is an unspeakable fragrance. Although it is not as sweet as osmanthus and intoxicating as gardenia, it has a unique charm.
When I posted the red Spring Festival couplets, I immediately felt an auspicious and festive atmosphere. The exquisite design on it consists of a golden dragon and a golden phoenix, adding a different flavor to today's special day.
Holding the brush on the inkstone in your hand and savoring it carefully, you can see that it is sharp, neat, round and healthy, and the four virtues of the brush are indispensable. The dark brown pen adds a sense of classicality to it, and the wool as white as snow and as soft as cotton adds elegance to it.
I can't wait to start writing.
The first part: set out at will, and the second part: the new place is unique. Horizontal approval: Fuxi welcomes the door.
In this way, these eighteen words were spelled into various strange shapes by my clumsy pen on the red Spring Festival couplets. They are crooked, and those powerful calligraphy words in my heart are separated by the biggest bridge in the world. Look at what others have written. A pen has Jane, and a painting has elegance. What a quaint word, a quaint Spring Festival couplets!
Although the Spring Festival couplets were not well written at first, I experienced the traditional culture of China and improved my understanding of this aspect, which was very rewarding.
