Customs in Hometown - Essay for the Second Grade of Junior High School Part 1
In my hometown of Xuzhou, there are quite a lot of customs during the New Year. Hanging red lanterns, making dumplings, dancing dragons and lions, setting off firecrackers... People are busy going back and forth to receive spring blessings and are very busy. One of the unique features is writing Spring Festival couplets.
People in Xuzhou love and value calligraphy, the traditional Chinese culture. The village neighborhood committee stipulates that every household must buy red paper and write their own couplets, and then the whole village will compete to determine the first, second, and third prizes. Calligraphy is my strong point. I wanted to show off my skills, so I volunteered to write Spring Festival couplets. My mother whispered to the side: "Don't underestimate the people in the village. This is a place where heroes gather together and crouching tigers, hidden dragons." After listening to my mother's words, my curiosity was quickly aroused. I wanted to see my How good is your calligraphy skills in the village?
On the morning of New Year’s Eve, we arranged the pens, inks, paper and inkstones neatly. I held down the paper, picked up the pen, dipped some ink, and started to write the first character "五". Put down the pen "horizontally" lightly, reach two-thirds of the way, press the brush, and finally close the pen. The pen is broken and the meaning is connected to the "horizontal fold" below. At the fold of the pen, the front is changed to another side, keeping the center vertical. I stared at the brush tip intently, and my eyes followed wherever the brush went. The word "five" was written quickly. I raised my head and everyone looked at me with approval, which was encouragement and affirmation to me. I dipped my fill in ink again and wrote the first couplet "All lakes and seas are in spring" and the second couplet "Thousands of rivers and mountains are full of morning glory" in one go. The word "new" in the horizontal batch "Everything Renewed" is difficult to write, so I carefully pondered its glyphs and strokes. The left side is high, the right side is low, the left side is narrow, and the right side is wide. I recall what the teacher paid attention to in class, and then I finished it in one go. The writing of the upper couplet, lower couplet, and horizontal batch are all so perfect and smooth. After everyone saw the Spring Festival couplets I wrote, they couldn't help but admire: "This Spring Festival couplets are like flowing clouds and flowing water, what a wonderful pen and flowers!" After listening to everyone's praise, my heart was sweeter than eating honey.
It’s time for selection. The judges talked to each other and compared carefully, and the rankings came out quickly. Second place, I am second place! I opened my mouth happily, looking at the Spring Festival couplets of the first place, and secretly determined that one day I must surpass him.
The Spring Festival couplet writing competition is not only a New Year custom in my hometown, but also the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture by the people in my hometown. Successors from generation to generation picked up the brush, making the flavor of the New Year more intense and allowing the art of Chinese calligraphy to flourish.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, every family is looking forward to the New Year. The preparations for the New Year are busy and enjoyable. The adults are busy buying New Year's goods, cleaning and dusting, worshiping ancestors, and preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. What we boys participated in most was posting Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers.
Exchange all your pocket money into firecrackers, and find an open space to set off firecrackers with your friends. I took out a "rat tail" and lit it. As I waved my arms, it began to dance gracefully, shining like blurry circles in the night. It burned little by little and kept making "squeaking" sounds, and my fingers also heated up little by little. Watch it slowly extinguish, leaving only a puff of smoke lingering unyieldingly.
Another partner grabbed a handful of cannons from his trouser pocket and sprinkled them on the ground. Others rushed to step on them to see who stepped on more. If one stepped on one, it would make a "pop" sound. There was a flurry of footsteps and "pop" sounds in the open space. The friends were extremely excited, and they were still happy as usual when they smelled the choking smell of smoke and gunpowder in the air.
Of course the gadgets that the adults put out were not of the same level. The "two kicks" they fired were extremely powerful. After they were lit, they jumped up into the air with a "bump" sound. There was a flash of light in the heavy gray evening clouds, followed by a loud noise, like a bomb exploding. The children were protected and hidden by the adults. Before the deafening sound stopped, another firecracker came, again and again, one after another.
Dad told me that these powerful firecrackers were used to drive away the Nian beast in ancient times. Nian usually sleeps in the deep sea. At the end of the year, it is very hungry, so it climbs out of the ocean and comes to the land to eat people. In order to drive away the Nian beast, the people thought of many ways. Finally, it was discovered that Nian was afraid of red things, fire and loud noises. So every family set off firecrackers and posted Spring Festival couplets during the New Year. The Nian beast is driven away, and the year is over.
The Spring Festival couplets not only ward off evil and avoid disasters, but also express people’s hopes and good wishes. If there are children in school at home, they will post "Title on the Gold List"; if there are elderly people in the family, they will post "Fu Shou An Kang"; if the family is doing business, they will post "Daily Income".
I looked at the lively and busy scene of this group, and Wang Anshi's poem came to mind: The sound of firecrackers eliminates one year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches. This is a true portrayal of the Chinese New Year. Customs of Hometown Essay for the Second Grade of Junior High School 3
In the New Year that has just passed, my hometown has many customs, such as: wearing red clothes, pasting Spring Festival couplets, making dumplings... But I like to set off firecrackers the most. , let me tell you how I set off firecrackers!
At noon on the New Year’s Day, my father and I bought many firecrackers on the street in my hometown, such as: spinning disc, earth red, flying car... But I think the most fun ones are earth red, magic bullets and Flying rocket. Until the day before New Year's Eve, I would occasionally go out and set off firecrackers. By the time New Year's Eve came around, only the red earth, magic bullets and flying rockets were left. Now let me tell you the story of how I set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve!
That night, the moon was blocked by clouds and the wind was very light. It was a good time to set off firecrackers. My father and I walked to the square with firecrackers and were ready to start setting off firecrackers. The first thing we set off was the flying rocket. Dad inserted it into the snowdrift, and then used a lighter to light its fuse. I saw it kept spraying sparks to the ground, and suddenly it spurted violently and flew away with a "swish" sound. It's 10 meters high, and it shoots out a bunch of sparks. It's so beautiful! After releasing the flying rockets, we released the magic bombs. The method of releasing it is the same as that of a flying rocket. It shoots out a string of sparks with a "bang" sound, which is 15 meters high! Moreover, one time it sprayed green sparks, and the other time it sprayed red sparks. I counted, and it actually sprayed 30 times in one go!
While watching the firecrackers being set off, my father said: "Actually, there is a legend about the origin of the firecrackers. Once upon a time, there was a monster called 'Nian', and it came to eat people every New Year's Eve! One year, an old man came On New Year's Eve, after waiting for 'Nian' to come, the old man set off firecrackers to scare 'Nian' away. From then on, 'Nian' did not dare to come. "I did the math. This is the seventh time I have heard this legend told by others. Got it!
After listening to it, I switched to Earth Red because its fuse was very short, so it almost blew me up! Later I discovered that I could use a lighter to light the end of a small branch and then light the fuse. Therefore, only by using the correct method and good skills can you get things done well.
The Spring Festival is the most important and solemn traditional festival in my country. Setting off firecrackers is a custom and can enhance the festive atmosphere. However, as the air quality becomes worse and worse, setting off firecrackers should be reduced. From my perspective Let’s start and let our hometown have blue sky every day! Customs of Hometown Essay for the Second Grade of Junior High School Part 4
Our motherland has a vast territory, and each place has its own unique customs and habits. My hometown is Zhouning, Fujian. I have left many memories in that place. My favorite is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month here is unusual, and the time here is extremely lively. Have you ever heard of "moving iron branches"? This is a unique custom in my hometown!
Let’s introduce it first. Moving iron branches, also known as Taige, is a local traditional folk activity in Fujian Province. It has a history of more than 500 years and is listed as a world intangible cultural heritage. To move iron branches, steel pipes or iron bars are welded into branch shapes and fixed on the shaft of the vehicle. Each iron branch is 2 to 3 meters high and can accommodate 5 to 7 people performing on it. The actors are mostly children, sitting or standing on support branches, holding props, performing some simple plots and actions. The iron cart can be pushed forward, and the band will accompany it.
Around the seventh day of the first lunar month, all social houses got busy, making iron frames, selecting costumes, finding actors, and rehearsing formations. The entire social house was fully prepared for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I look forward to this day coming soon so that the whole Zhou Ning can become active.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people of the county had dinner early and were ready to watch the parade. The neon lights on the entire street lit up, igniting the hearts of the people of the county.
The parade performance began. The police car cleared the way in front. There were two five-meter-long ropes on both sides of the iron bars to prevent the audience from pushing forward. The actors on the stage danced their bodies, and their exquisite makeup looked particularly charming under the light. There are many types of iron branches, including "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Carp Fairy", "Zheng He's Voyage to the West"... The most eye-catching one this time is the Carp Fairy! The buds slowly rise and the petals slowly bloom. It can be said that this lotus seat is the most high-tech part of this iron branch move. Everyone can see the "fairy spirit" of the boy not only by the lift, but also by cleverly hiding the mystery under the lotus seat, which is equipped with smoke and colored lights. This makes the lotus dazzling and filled with smoke when it rises.
Moving iron branches made the people feel the enthusiasm and made the fifteenth day of the first lunar month more lively. I also really want to participate in such a lively event, but every year the school starts before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I can only look at the pictures sent by my grandma and envy others.

Continuous mountain peaks; endless lakes as far as the eye can see; countless high-rise buildings... This is my hometown - Qiandao Lake.
What is special about my hometown? There are many, including triangle drama, bamboo horse, dragon lantern dance and so on. But the most common thing I heard from people since I was a kid was talking about bamboo horses. Of course, growing up in Qiandao Lake, I am also very interested in bamboo horses.
In the art of bamboo horses, there are many places that can reflect the folk customs of Qiandao Lake. Whether it is the craftsmanship of making bamboo horses or the posture of dancing bamboo horses, there is nothing that is not intoxicating and admirable.
Although you are in Qiandao Lake, there are very few opportunities to watch bamboo horse performances. Every time I watch the bamboo horse performance, I am so excited that I can't sleep or eat. I remember that the first time I watched a performance was on a campus filled with books.
When I was in fourth grade, the school built a sunshine library with all kinds of books. There was also a bamboo horse library in the library. The wall outside the bamboo horse pavilion is covered with explanations and pictures about bamboo horses. Curious, I read all the information. After reading the information, I became fascinated by this new thing called bamboo horses.
Within a few days, the school’s podium was decorated beautifully: a red carpet, a colorful background, and four big red characters “Chun’an Bamboo Horse” on the background. My eyes suddenly lit up as I was interested in Zhu Ma Zheng. After setting up the scene, the teacher announced in the classroom that the bamboo horse would be performed the next day. That night, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep in bed, and my mind was filled with thoughts about the performance the next day.
When it was time for the performance, the students arrived on the playground, and I stared attentively with anticipation on my face. The actors appeared, and the five-color bamboo horses, including red, green, yellow, white, and black, entered the theater. From the information outside the bamboo horse hall, I learned that the bamboo horses were performed by young men and women, divided into male, female, pure, and ugly. The characters include Zhengsheng riding a red horse, Qingyi riding a yellow horse, Xiaosheng riding a green horse, Hua Dan riding a white horse, and the clown riding a black horse. Also, it says that dark horses are the liveliest. I took a look, dubious, and sure enough, the clown was riding a black horse, jumping around with a riding crop. The red number one horse makes me determined to move forward, and it also represents the success of Qiandao Lake. The dark horse also means a bright future, embodying the people of Qiandao Lake’s beautiful vision for the future.
After the performance, I had a new feeling about my hometown Qiandao Lake. This is my hometown custom, which not only gives Qiandao Lake a representative work, but also highlights Chun'an's unique charm and style of "jinshan beautiful water, well-known country with well-known literature".
