Spring Festival (1) Spring Festival, a traditional festival in China, is an unforgettable festival! On this day, every household is decorated with lanterns, laughing and laughing, and happiness and peace are everywhere.
In the morning, my father and I posted the word "Fu" and Spring Festival couplets. The word "Fu" is covered with cute little pigs, who seem to say, "This year is our animal year!" Red paper, strong Chinese characters, beautiful and auspicious meanings make up a wonderful Spring Festival couplets. Dad and I put it away seriously. After putting up Spring Festival couplets, the taste of the year at home is even more full.
There was a tinkling sound in the kitchen. This is my mother preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner!
Unconsciously, in the evening, dinner began. What a sumptuous dinner! It looks delicious. We had a good time tonight, and we also secretly sighed that the Chinese New Year was really good! There is a kind of food that we northerners need. Without it, it wouldn't be called "Year", and that would be jiaozi. Fish, our first impression is that there is more than one year, so fish is also an essential dish in the New Year's Eve, because it means "more than one year". Besides, there are delicious roast chicken, delicious duck pot, delicious vermicelli ... all the dishes are served. Let's raise our glasses and wish our whole family all the best in the new year.
The Spring Festival Gala can be said to be another "New Year's Eve" of the Spring Festival. The highlight of the party is the magic show. As soon as the magician closed his eyes, the teapot in his hand flashed and red wine, white wine, black tea and bean juice all came out. It's amazing! In addition, there are funny cross talk performances, wonderful song and dance performances and shocking martial arts performances ... The programs are really colorful and overwhelming!
At this moment, the bell of 12 struck, and dazzling fireworks were set off outside. Fireworks bloom beautifully in the air like blessings. It seems to take away all our troubles. Let's welcome the new year happily!
Spring Festival (2) My hometown is in Ningxia, and my hometown has the reputation of "Little Jiangnan". This is what my father told me. I also learned some interesting things about the Spring Festival in my hometown from my grandmother.
Every year from the 30th, wells, stoves, mills, felting workshops, blacksmiths, carpenters and vendors all offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and their tools and utensils are scrubbed and sealed. Troupe and shadow play sing a few days before the Lunar New Year's Eve, that is, ugly actresses sing together, such as ugly actresses singing actresses and actresses singing clowns, which is awkward and lively. In the early morning of the 30th anniversary, the troupe sealed the box to offer sacrifices to the gods.
On New Year's Day, they kowtow to the gods and ancestors at home, pay New Year greetings to the elderly, and adults give lucky money to their children.
The next day, the family went to the temple to worship their ancestors, and the younger generation paid New Year greetings to their elders. On this day, our family, regardless of rank, congratulated each other on the calendars of their respective generations. Neighbors met and asked each other, "Have a good year!"
Since the third day, the temple has been observing Buddhist monks and monks, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, believing that men and women are good at giving alms. But on the fifth day, people rarely visit other people's homes or relatives, and each plays cards, bronze medals and a wooden animal card at home.
On the fifth day, every family eats jiaozi in the morning, which is called "filling the poor pit", which means that people are afraid of poverty, and they are satisfied after eating glutinous rice balls, which means that they will never be hungry again all year round.
The climax of Chinese New Year entertainment is the fifteenth day of the first month. Starting from the 14th day of the first month, lanterns were erected and social fires were played for three consecutive days. Most of the lampstands are archway-shaped, with stories such as the Buddha, the Three Kingdoms and the Journey to the West painted on the lamp surface. The lamps are all made of sesame oil or candles, which are shared by merchants. There are Guanyin and lion ice sculptures made by monks in the Dizang King Temple in Hu Aishu Lane, which are lighted inside and covered with colored paper. They are so beautiful that many people even ring bells to give alms. The social fire team is the highlight and people's favorite to watch. People have a good time and are very lively.
As the saying goes, "On the 23rd day of the first month, every household walks the streets". On this night, firewood should be lit in front of every household, and bran, salt and grain should be added to the fire. Crackling, the flame is strong, adults and children are repeatedly looking at the fire, talking and laughing. After the fire is extinguished, the ashes are scattered into the air with a shovel, and Mars dances wildly, similar to fireworks. At the same time, people who scattered ashes shouted: "This year's wheat is good-this year's peas are full-this year's rice harvest ..." After the 21st day of the first month, people were busy with spring ploughing and started a new year's work.
Spring Festival (3) As the saying goes, "Twenty-eight years old, washing sloppy", most cities in western Guangdong will choose the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month for general cleaning, which means washing away bad luck.
On New Year's Eve, it is usually the day to put up Spring Festival couplets and red paper. In addition, every household will kill chickens and ducks and make New Year's Eve dinner on this day. At the same time, some cooked chickens and ducks are reserved for the next day (the first day of the first month). Because, on the first day of the first month, it is not allowed to kill people with a knife.
At 24 o'clock on New Year's Eve, that is, at 0 o'clock on New Year's Day. Every household will put apples (peace), kumquat (good luck), sweets and biscuits, shochu and other things on the altar to burn incense to celebrate the New Year. Usually, red candy pieces and raw onions are wrapped in red paper, which symbolizes the sweetness and wisdom in the new year. After the Chinese New Year firecrackers are burned, parents will give red envelopes to the children and the elderly at home.
On the first day of the first month, you have to get up at the first call in the morning, and you can't stay in bed. Say hello to everyone after getting up. Never ask questions without answering them. Breakfast is different from usual breakfast. Breakfast on this day is eating, that is, having plenty of food and clothing. Prepare chicken, duck, fish and fish dishes on New Year's Eve, and fry a lettuce, which means "making money". You must be careful on this day. That is to say, you must hold chopsticks, bowls and cups, and don't fall to the ground. Also, you can't sweep the floor and take out the garbage that day, otherwise there will be a saying of breaking the money.
The second day of the first month is a good day to visit her family. Daughters and sons-in-law who go back to their parents' home that day should prepare gifts of fruit biscuits, and those who have children at their parents' home should prepare red envelopes as much as possible.
In the past, from grade one to grade seven, women with long hair were not allowed to wash their hair at home, especially in grade one. Later, with the development of society, more and more women can't stand headaches and dandruff, and will choose to wash their hair one day after the first day of junior high school. Sometimes, in order to escape my mother-in-law's reproach, I will go out to the hair salon to have a wash and then go home. From the second day of the first month to the eighteenth day of the first month, it is the time to visit relatives and friends in the New Year, and the taste of the New Year faded later.
The fifteenth day of the first month is the Lantern Festival, also called Shangyuan Festival. On this day, everyone loves to carry lanterns, and the food is mainly glutinous rice balls and jiaozi.
