Watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is an indispensable traditional custom of the Chinese people. Last night, just after I had eaten glutinous rice balls, I went to Shacheng to watch the lanterns.
When night fell, my mother and I excitedly came to the street. The street was already crowded with people, and the people were all happy, beaming, and immersed in the joy of the festival. The first thing that comes into view is the lantern in the shape of a golden bull. The golden bull is strong and looks like it is running, as if it is wishing people all over the country a prosperous year of the ox and a happy new year.
The cattle lantern slowly passed by, and as the crowd continued to go down, you could see several young boys and girls dressed in ancient costumes standing in the sedan chair at the bottom of the sky, dancing gracefully and gracefully, towards the people. Jumping forward, then jumping back, spreading out, closing, dancing gradually to another street. We admired it, it was more blurry than a dream, and we were dazzled. The crowd gradually dispersed, and we came to the T-intersection of this street, where there was a new lantern - iron branch. Several children were tied to it and dressed as Sun Wukong, Guanyin, ancient scholars and little girls in ancient costumes. I really admire them. Standing at such a high place, they are not afraid or cry loudly.
The most exciting thing is the lion lantern grabbing the hydrangea. The two lions sway left and right, jump forward and back, looking very fierce. They both want to grab the red hydrangea, but they are unable to do anything. Suddenly, someone raised a long flame and started playing with it mightily. The lion seemed to be angry, furious, and jumped out of the stage. He was confused and seemed to want to grab the blazing flames. The flames went out, and the lion lost its power and jumped across the stage.
The sound of fireworks, program music, shouts, gongs and drums, laughter... merged into a beautiful symphony, and there was laughter everywhere.
Tonight's lantern festival is a sea of ??lights and a world of light, which makes me linger. I'm looking forward to next year's Lantern Festival!
This morning, our yard was very lively! The community New Year greeting group came to our yard to pay New Year greetings. They brought waist drum troupes, land boats, and lion dances.
Among them, my favorite is the lion dance. I saw a mighty big lion beating around a square table, often making tickling movements, and sometimes showing a very obedient look. As it danced, I saw the lion showing He looked like he had been working very hard and fell asleep on the ground. His silly look made me laugh. At this time, the old lion dancer was anxious. He rolled up his sleeves, waved his fist, roared "ha" at the lion's head, and hit it hard. The lion seemed to wake up and quickly started dancing again. . Following the instructions of the grandpa, the lion dance became more and more exciting. It jumped onto the table with a "swish" sound. It stood upright for a while and stood upside down for a while. It was not afraid at all on the small square table. It was so thrilling.
The lion dance is so interesting!
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in our country and the most solemn festival of the year. Every household will celebrate. Some ethnic groups will also engage in some activities to celebrate the New Year, such as dragon and lion dances, storytelling and singing, land boat running, stilt walking, Yangko dancing, etc.
At the end of the New Year, adults and children are all busy. They are busy preparing New Year’s goods, cleaning the house, and worshiping ancestors! Pasting Spring Festival couplets is an essential item. Either do it yourself or ask someone to do it for you, and write down the harvest of the year and the hope for the coming year into this small Spring Festival couplet. Classmates, speaking of Spring Festival couplets, there is another story! Spring couplets originated from peach charms. They first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty and were rectangular peach door panels hung on both sides of the door. It is said that peach wood has the function of suppressing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. Because the evil spirits in the world are afraid of the two gods "Shen Tu" and "Yulei", people carve their images out of peach wood and place them at their doorsteps to ward off ghosts and evil spirits. Later, people simply engraved the names of the two gods on peach boards, believing that doing so could also suppress evil and drive away evil. This kind of peach board is called "peach charm". During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, people began to write on peach symbols. Once, Meng Chang, the monarch of Shu, ordered the bachelors to write on the Taofu board on New Year's Eve. Because he couldn't see clearly what the bachelors wrote, Meng Chang simply wrote "Every year, we will meet in Yuqing, and the festival will be called Changchun." From this came China's first Spring Festival couplets.
Go home often and visit. No matter how far away you are, you must rush home to reunite with your family and eat the New Year’s Eve dinner carefully prepared by your parents. In the old days, people called this staying up late on New Year's Eve. This meal should be eaten slowly and until late at night.
Watching the wonderful programs of the Spring Festival Gala, surrounding the steaming hot pot, and listening to the bursts of firecrackers outside the window, the family enjoyed family happiness. At this time, children are happiest when their elders give out lucky money. It is said that this practice existed during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. New Year's money is also called "New Year's money" and "Evil money to suppress evil spirits" because Sui and evil spirits are homophonic. New Year's money can suppress evil spirits and enable children to spend the New Year in peace.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and it’s indispensable to visit relatives and friends. Relatives and friends gather together, eat sumptuous food and wine, exchange blessings, and plan development plans. This activity lasts until after the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
The Spring Festival is not only about eating, drinking and having fun together, but more importantly, it embodies a national spirit of our country. What it integrates is a kind of family affection, a pursuit of a better life and harmony and tranquility between people.
In the New Year, you can collect lucky money, wear new clothes, and set off firecrackers, but the most interesting thing is to watch the lion dance performance.
I still remember my trip to Guangzhou last year. It was a cloudless day, and the streets were crowded and lively. Everyone's face was glowing and they were beaming with joy. Suddenly, there was the sound of firecrackers. I followed the sound and found that it was a lion dance team competing in a lion competition! The lion was very realistic, with its mouth wide open and its eyes blinking. It was particularly energetic, and everyone was full of praise. The lion dancers have a tacit understanding. Sometimes the "lion" shakes its head and sometimes jumps around. At this time, several people moved the ladder, and everyone became more excited. The "lion" began to walk on the ladder, shaking his head as he walked, and people clapped and cheered. When the "lion" reached the top, lettuce was hung on the bamboo pole, and the lion suddenly Pounced on the lettuce. I was very surprised and asked: "Mom, why did the lion grab the lettuce?" My mother patiently told me: "That's using homophony to say lettuce means 'making money'. Everyone hopes to make money!" So that's it, I I understood immediately. ah! Chinese traditional culture is really diverse and interesting!
In my hometown,,, according to the custom of our hometown, the Spring Festival begins on the twelfth lunar month.
On New Year’s Eve, people make rice dumplings and also Make rice cakes. The second thing is to go to the streets to buy firecrackers and toys, and as New Year’s Eve approaches, I go buy New Year pictures.
It’s really lively on New Year’s Eve! Every household rushes to make New Year dishes, post couplets, hang lanterns, and hang New Year pictures. Wait. Men, women and children are wearing beautiful clothes. Every house is brightly lit, firecrackers and fireworks are going on all night long, and people who go out have to stay up late.
The first day of the new year is even more lively. Early in the morning, people Go out of the house and visit relatives or friends to pay New Year greetings. At the same time, scenic spots, amusement parks, Internet cafes, etc. are also more lively. Adults and children especially like to go there.
When the Lantern Festival arrives, it is the busiest time .New Year's Eve is very lively, but there is no moonlight. As for the Lantern Festival, the bright moon happens to be in the sky. There are lanterns everywhere, the whole street is brightly lit, and every lantern is different, some are made of corrugated glass, some are horns, and some are paper lanterns. Palace lanterns, There are also lanterns with little tinkling bells inside... There are lanterns outside, and there are also lanterns at home, such as revolving lanterns, gauze lanterns, ice lanterns... In addition to looking at beautiful lanterns, people also eat glutinous rice balls, Some glutinous rice balls are made of red bean paste, some are made of peanuts, and some are made of sesame seeds... Eating Lantern Festival rice means people will herald a happy and auspicious new year.
It’s here in the blink of an eye. On the 16th of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival ended. People started their usual lives again
Speaking of this New Year, I had a special experience, and interesting stories kept coming.
< p>We spent the New Year at my grandma’s house, and my cousin was also there. We have always played speculatively, and we finally got together, and of course we had to have a good time so that we wouldn’t go home until we were tired.New Year’s Eve Well, fireworks are indispensable. According to our plan, the two of us each brought about 30 "golden whips" and six or seven "electronic rods", and together we had to "lift" the roof of my grandma's house. It's amazing!
We deliberately found a field covered with grass and wanted to use firecrackers to create thick smoke! We first pulled out a golden whip and let it "lying calmly on the grass" We drew the cross and prayed for it: I wish it could spend the rest of its life in glory. I took out the match, stepped forward, and lit the "golden whip". There were many loud noises and thick smoke. It filled the air. We danced our own "Torch Festival" dance around the smoke and the loud golden light, singing and laughing. It was really "happy as gods"!
We found another hollow stick and stuffed two "golden whips" and a "light stick" inside. We took out matches and lit them. It's beautiful, it's beautiful! The "Electric Light Rod" emits colorful and strange light, while the "Golden Whip" emits golden and sapphire green light, and a rhythmic symphony. Ah, the blinking elves in the sky are also cheering for us, so happy! But when it burned into the stick, the strange light turned into the "thick smoke billowing" that we expected. The stick was shaking, but the rhythm was still ringing regularly. "Crackling, crackling." ． ． ． "
At this time, fireworks from all directions "are competing to bloom", and I find that people's smiles are even more beautiful.
The interesting things that happen every day are like colorful dreams, like exquisite and clear fireworks. The pearls make people yearn for them.
Sunday is a godsend for me, a lazy cat who loves to sleep. Deng Huan, it’s already nine o’clock, why don’t you get up yet? The loudspeaker turned on again. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said, "Today is Sunday, why did you wake me up?" Dad came over and said, "Do you want to kill a game?" "When I heard this, a carp jumped up and said, "Come just come, I'm not afraid of you!" "
We set up the chessboard. Dad's "cannon" was the first to charge into the battle and drove into my territory. Then he stood behind the "soldier". I accepted the challenge seriously. The soldiers came to block it. After a while, dad When he became anxious, he kept patting his thigh, "Oh my, why am I so reckless today? I'm furious! "Dad thought, and fired another "cannon" at the position of the "elephant", fired a cannonball, beat my "elephant" into a state of disarray, and escaped from the battlefield.
How could I be so careless? Seeing that my "Che" was about to "die", I thought to myself, "Poor 'Che', you really have a miserable life! You haven't made any military exploits yet, and you have to go see the 'King of Hell' "Hey, I'm so sorry for you, I will definitely avenge you!"
Hurry! Dad proudly urged me, "Hey, don't be too happy too early. Let's read the script on a donkey - we'll see!" I ordered the "general" to move forward, "Haha, you will lose!" I shouted loudly, and my father looked at the formation on the chessboard, lying limply on the table like a deflated rubber ball. I immediately cheered my dad up: "Hey, fat balloon, don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Don't think that losing to a yellow-haired girl is not glorious!" After hearing this, my dad immediately straightened his back and stared at the goldfish eyes, determined. Said: "Look how I deal with you!" Then they attacked me one after another, and I was not to be outdone. Because my father’s generals suffered numerous casualties, and the rest were old, weak, and remnant soldiers, I was eventually forced to a desperate end because of being outnumbered—“I won! I won! I was victorious, and I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to tell the news to the whole world. !
Masters, should you eat a car or a chicken? My mother put her hands on her hips and said angrily. I was immersed in victory.
I used to rush to and from home for several years. In the past, I had no time to care about things around me, but this year I finally have free time, which makes me feel the freshness of my hometown. It can be said that with the passage of time, a small city has become full of charming vitality and vitality.
A city surrounded by mountains and rivers should be a very beautiful city. However, in my memory, every rainy season, the Xinjiang River floods, and the rice fields and crops in Yangyang and surrounding areas are crazily devoured by the floods, and the farmers' hard work is It always goes to waste. Residents living by the river can only watch their furniture soaked in the water and have no choice but to ferry in and out every day. The residents in the city have different density and old wooden houses. They are closely connected, with no security measures, the buildings are messy, the streets are narrow, and garbage can be seen everywhere.
With nothing to do at home, my mother suggested that I go for a walk along the river road and pass by a cross street. The novel phenomenon attracted me - the traffic lights, the vehicles passing by strictly obeyed the traffic lights, and no traffic rules were violated. This may not be unusual in a big city, but it is huge for a small city. With the changes, the traffic is now in order, and people are no longer panicking when crossing the road.
When you come to Yanhe Road, you will see a picturesque scene in front of you. Both sides of the Xinjiang River have been decorated. Both sides of the river have been carefully renovated, high dams have been built, and various trees and flowers have been planted. Cobblestone paths run through it, and three or two people are sitting on a few flat grassy areas, enjoying the vast sea and sky, leisurely. In entertainment venues, happy children are swinging and climbing stairs. More people are like us, strolling by the river, breathing fresh air, looking at the mountains in the distance and the water nearby, which makes people feel comfortable. Feeling relaxed and happy. In front of a blueprint, we saw the night scenery on both sides of the park, which was brightly lit and beautiful.
It was a completely new feeling when we returned to the downtown area. The wide and clean streets were lined with tall buildings. Various specialty stores and boutiques and supermarkets are all over the streets. There is an endless stream of people shopping, busy buying New Year goods. With the improvement of people's living standards, various high-end goods are increasingly entering the homes of residents, and more and more well-off families are entering. p>
Things are changing, and people are also changing. During a conversation with my junior high school teacher, I learned more about the renewal of the spiritual outlook of urban people. In order to fully understand the importance of education. Taking advantage of the advantages of each school, urban middle schools have changed the previous model of only key middle schools. The schools only set up high school or junior high schools, which facilitates targeted centralized management and concentration of effective teachers. For adults, their own progress. My teacher is a good example. When he taught me, he was still a junior high school teacher. But after continuous learning, he is now an excellent teacher in the high school department and is in "World English" Published articles. Many young people my age are not satisfied with the knowledge they have. Examination has become a hot topic for them. Now I am no longer surprised when the neighbor's children greet me with "Good morning" in English.
When I stood on the top of "Tianqiao" mountain and looked down at the city's scenery, I was filled with emotion. I couldn't help but think of a sentence - if you don't advance, you will retreat. Everything is always in a state of constant change and progress. Now The rapid progress is even more astonishing. As young people in the new century, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, keep pace with the times, speed up our own pace, and fully arm ourselves to meet more severe challenges.
1. A day's experience
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, we ushered in the most important festival of the Chinese people - the Spring Festival. Every family was filled with joy and hung up red lanterns. Put up red Spring Festival couplets and be busy...
The first day of the first lunar month is another happy day.
I used to be the last person to get up, but today I fought for the first place because I really wanted to smell the fragrant firecracker smoke. Strings of firecrackers were lit in people's hands. The sound was really loud and splashed everywhere, as if they were sending every blessing to thousands of households. The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, crackling and making it very lively.
After the firecrackers, there is nothing fun anymore.
Let’s have breakfast and go out to play later!
After dinner, I invited a few friends to play together. The firecrackers lit on the street bloomed beautiful flowers on the ground. They were so beautiful. The pocket money given by my parents was in the bag. Titus was happy. The little birds came out to join in the fun today, and they were probably very happy too.
The street is indeed a street, with everything to play and eat. Most of the people I saw were children. I took a look and found that the spicy stalls were the best:
"I want a bunch of rice cakes!" A fat child shouted.
How about going somewhere else? In front of a stationery store, I stopped again. There are all kinds of fun things there: airplane models, telescopes, electric cars... all kinds of fun things. The most popular ones I find are the ones that are played with.
In other places, I also saw some selling balloons, pistols, and skipping ropes, and some selling snacks, snacks, and fruits.
After playing all morning, I am going to visit relatives and friends in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year. This is undoubtedly a happy thing.
I had so much fun today! It’s a feast for the eyes, a feast for the mouth, and a feast for the hands. The luckiest ones are the sellers, business is booming today!
I sincerely hope that today’s children across the country will be happy and have no worries in the new year, but they must not “lose their minds by playing with things”!

2. Happy Spring Festival
Look forward to it! Hope, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but laugh. Before the Spring Festival, people are all happy and full of energy. There is an endless stream of people shopping, some are buying New Year pictures, some are buying New Year goods, some are sitting around the fire box watching TV, some are playing mahjong and poker, and so on.
Anyway, the streets are colorful, there are all kinds of people, and all kinds of goods are complete and dazzling. It’s hard for people to choose what they want to buy!
Before the Spring Festival, every house is brightly lit, and every house is decorated in a unique style, each with its own personality. They put the New Year's goods they bought all over the floor. How to paste the New Year pictures you buy depends on your own style and preference. Some are posted upright, some are pasted upside down, and some are pasted crookedly. Each has its own merits. People have prepared all the vegetables they bought, and they are ready to have a feast when the Spring Festival comes. There are firecrackers in every house, and people put on new clothes and prepare to welcome the New Year. Before the Spring Festival, when people go out and meet good friends, they always say: "Go to the streets!"
< p>People are killing pigs and sheep, and are busy preparing for the Spring Festival feast.The Spring Festival is here, and the children get up early, go to their parents’ rooms, and start the traditional New Year greeting ceremony. The children said some auspicious words to their parents, and the parents took out the New Year's money to make the children happy. Everyone hopes that this year will bring good luck and good fortune.
Some relatives and friends gathered together, tasting fine wine and food, and talking happily. The happiest thing is that we can save a lot of New Year's money, and then happily run to the street to buy many fun things, such as cars, four-wheel drive vehicles, toy guns, footballs, etc., and we only need to be sweeter , if you say more blessings, you will make a lot of money!
People played until late at night, gnawing delicious fruits in their mouths, setting off firecrackers and fireworks in their hands... adults and children sang and danced, having a great time!

In a word, the structure of this article is exquisite.
3. Write couplets
The Spring Festival is coming, and I know everyone must enjoy celebrating the Spring Festival very much. Because everyone can post Spring Festival couplets, watch the Spring Festival Gala, visit relatives and friends...
I remember when the Spring Festival was coming last year, I was learning to write couplets at home. I stood aside and watched the adults write couplets. They took a brush in hand, dipped it in ink, and then wrote a few large characters on the red paper. I can't remember the specific content. That couplet was written very neatly. When I saw it, I said to my uncle, "Can you teach me how to write couplets?" I clearly remember my uncle asking, "Can you use a brush? Do you know how to write couplets?" I He shook his head and said, "No." So he added, "You are one year older this year, and you don't even know how to use a brush. Taking this opportunity, I will teach you a few tricks." After listening to my uncle, If so, I jumped up happily.
My uncle told me to sit upright when writing and not to lie on the table. Then he told me in detail how to use the brush. After listening to my uncle's words, I finally learned some of the most basic methods of using a brush.
Then my uncle asked me to write a few words and show them to him. I wrote five words: "I love China most." The writing is crooked, probably because I just used a brush! My uncle smiled when he saw it: "The writing is pretty good, but the strokes are not straight."
So my uncle taught me: "You don't have to use the same strength when writing every word. When writing words, the force used should be varied, so that the written words will be more varied and look more beautiful. After speaking, my uncle also wrote a few words in a demonstration for me to imitate. It's quite comfortable. I tried to write a few words like my uncle, and I really made progress. It looked much better than what I just wrote. I was very happy.
My uncle also told me that writing is a good idea. I need to practice regularly and imitate name stickers more. The more I write, the more beautiful my writing becomes.
During this Spring Festival, I initially learned some skills in writing calligraphy, which is really more valuable than getting lucky money. Happy and more affordable.
Brief comment: This article focuses on an incident that happened during the Spring Festival - writing Spring Festival couplets. The whole article uses a detailed description to describe a very small incident. There must be noses and eyes, and the characters are vivid on the paper. If there is a characteristic in this article, it is that the perspective of selecting materials is small. The whole text only uses the small matter of writing Spring Festival couplets to show the life of the Spring Festival, and uses a small way to see the big things. Well done.
