On the morning of Lunar New Year's Day, my classmates and I happily came to Anchang ancient town in Shaoxing to find the atmosphere of the New Year.
This is a small town built along a small river, and its banks are antique. Houses and red lanterns fluttering in the wind have woven a red ribbon, which brings us warmth in the cold wind, as if waiting for us to weave a "Chinese knot". There is an upside-down "Fu" on the door of every household, symbolizing that five blessings is blessed to my home!
The street is full of all kinds of small commodities. What attracts me most are the clay figurines, dough figurines and Tang Hua made by local residents themselves ... They are very vivid, just like children playing together! These small commodities should not be underestimated, but we China folk artists pinch them out bit by bit, not made by machines!
The most interesting thing is to draw tanghua. I observed it for a long time and learned about the production process of Tang Hua. First scoop a spoonful of melted maltose, then carefully draw the phoenix tail one by one, then draw the body, and finally the head. Draw a dancing phoenix after adding bamboo sticks. And a sugar dragon. Look at its sturdy body and mighty faucet. At first glance, it is a heroic dragon. Dragon and Phoenix Dance indicates that the ancient town of Anchang will be prosperous, lively and prosperous in the new year!
Of course, food is indispensable for the Chinese New Year. What delicious food does the host prepare for their guests? Not long after I entered the ancient town, a smell came to my nose. What is that? Smell the fragrance and know the way. At first glance, it turned out to be wonton! You see, this delicate skin makes people drool at first sight. After eating a bowl, I feel as light as a cloud. And meat, very delicious, elastic, really delicious on earth! Others include sauce meat, quail in sauce, bacon, sugar, maltose ... all delicious new year's goods, which are perfect for entertaining guests. Rows of oily, golden and transparent sauce meat have also become a beautiful landscape. ...
The thick flavor of the year hangs over the whole ancient town. Welcome to Laianchang for the New Year!
