I know the custom. Autumn is a harvest season, and many festivals bloom in autumn. Among so many festivals, I like the Mid-Autumn Festival best, because I can eat delicious moon cakes, reunite with my family and enjoy the moon together.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is particularly round and bright. We don't have to turn on the light to eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there are all kinds of moon cakes with different flavors, but the moon cakes you eat always have only two flavors, one is reunion and the other is happiness.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, although the study pressure is particularly great, I am relieved at the thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. Looking back on the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, we all had a happy reunion dinner together, and then we all ate moon cakes with our favorite tastes, chatting about each other's ideals and their worries.
Whenever the moon is full, I can't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival and my father who is struggling for his family in other places. At this moment, I hope the moon is more round, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that I can see my father.
Mid-Autumn Festival custom in hometown
As the saying goes, "a hundred miles is different from customs, and a thousand miles is different from the wind." The motherland is a vast country. Although they all live the same festival, different places have different customs and habits. In my hometown, Mid-Autumn Festival has some special folk customs. Next, I will introduce them to you.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole country will eat moon cakes and have a reunion dinner, which is a great tradition of national unity. Besides these, there are some special customs in my hometown.
Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, we will worship our ancestors, and every household will worship their ancestors at the same time, without prior arrangement. There are many places to pay attention to in ancestor worship. For example, when offering sacrifices to ancestors, sacrifices are prepared first, but before we have a reunion dinner, all the food is on the table. At this time, my father will let us move all the fruits and drinks to the table, then start to burn incense and kowtow to my father, then read the same words every year, and then start to put part of every dish on the table in a bowl before eating.
After dinner, we will all gather in one place. At this time, there is another stress that women can't be together. Let's burn paper money for our dead relatives together. Burn the paper money and throw away the prepared food so that we can go home.
When we got home, we ate moon cakes, watched the moon and talked about various topics.
I know the custom. In our country, it is a young custom to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. Mom and Dad said: When they were teenagers, about 1984, they began to watch the Spring Festival Gala every year. Before 1980, many families didn't even have a TV, so it was impossible to watch the party on TV. I vaguely remember watching the Spring Festival Gala every year when I was about three years old. However, almost every year, I fall asleep before the end of the program.
For hundreds of millions of people in China, the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by CCTV is a must-see program on New Year's Eve, which has become a part of the Spring Festival tradition, just like having a family reunion dinner and setting off firecrackers. Every year on New Year's Eve, from 8: 00 p.m. to 1: 00 a.m./kloc-0: 00 a.m., a family sits around the TV, eating, laughing, talking, playing and watching programs, and spending a peaceful and festive New Year's Eve together.
There are mainly these kinds of programs in the Spring Festival Evening: dancing, singing, acrobatics, sketches, cross talk, magic, opera, poetry reading and so on. The whole party was like an all-inclusive Manchu-Chinese banquet. The program mainly aims to create a harmonious, festive and laughing atmosphere for the Spring Festival.
I watched this year's Spring Festival Gala at my grandparents' home. The family was very lively that day, including my aunt and uncle who came all the way back to the oilfield for the New Year, my grandparents who were over half a year old, and our family of three. Our whole family ate the New Year's Eve dinner early and sat around the TV happily, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV to begin.
This year, it officially started from the Spring Festival Evening, and it has been seen around 0: 00 am at 65438+. Even I didn't expect to be so excited and not sleepy at all.
For this year's Spring Festival Gala, I like watching Zhao Benshan's sketches best, because there is such a passage that makes me feel funny. Little Shenyang read a letter: "In a cornfield, little Shenyang's father and lover met a donkey, and the donkey took one look at them and left. Zhao Benshan also took a look at them and left. " Zhao Benshan said, "Here, write 10,000 words. Let everyone want to go. " I find it particularly funny to see here.
However, not long after the Spring Festival Gala started this year, grandma, aunt, mom and dad sat at the square table next to the TV and played poker "5K" with great interest. Of course, when they meet a program of interest, they will stop their cards and watch for a while.
After watching this year's Spring Festival Gala, I have two hopes: First, I hope that the programs on the Spring Festival Gala will be more and more exciting every year; Second, I hope to reduce the time for embassy staff to read congratulatory messages. If so, I think I will watch the whole program without interruption. I really hope all my wishes can come true.
The custom I know is five compositions in grade one. In a year, the Spring Festival is the busiest. It is different from a hundred miles, and it is different from a thousand miles.
As the Spring Festival approaches, every household is in full swing. Adults take care of the hygiene at home, and young adults have to help with the work, but they don't have to be as tired as adults. There must always be time for entertainment, chatting with children of the same age, or doing your own thing. Of course, children are playing, running, or making two or three crazy together. I play for a long time and usually go home very late. Of course, conscious children go home early and don't have to worry about their parents. Those who are unconscious will of course be called home by their parents when they are eating or when it is getting late. I'm afraid they'll be a little nostalgic when they leave. If my parents don't come, I'm afraid I'll have to eat and live in someone else's house.
Having said so many overtures, it's time to focus on the following.
Let's start with New Year's Eve. Tomorrow is a new day. Be sure to clean the house and put more bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. I asked my mother why she put too much. My mother told me that this means that there will be many children at home in the future. I never believed in these things, thinking that they were just used to set off the atmosphere. Before dinner, incense should be burned on the public cabinet at home and firecrackers should be set off outside the door. After the firecrackers are set off, you can have New Year's Eve dinner.
It's jiaozi after dinner. According to the custom of our hometown, coins are also wrapped in jiaozi, and only a dime can be put. If you get a dime when you eat jiaozi, you are lucky and rich.
So, before jiaozi is filled, I always break a few pieces with chopsticks to see if there are any coins in it. If there is, fill it up. No, just put it there. Whoever wants it will go.
Personally, I don't like birthdays, so I fell asleep soon after eating. People who celebrate birthdays kept setting off firecrackers, which made people fidget.
On the first day of the first month, after getting up in the morning and eating jiaozi, we will go to worship our ancestors. This kind of ancestor worship can only be done by men, and women will stay at home to receive guests who are coming. This kind of ancestor worship can be used by elderly people in their seventies and eighties and children in their thirties and forties. People who hold genealogy shoot guns, and when they hear guns, people in Zhuangzi will go to worship their ancestors. People get angry again after being together, and then burn paper. There is a statue of Guanyin on the public cabinet with incense in front. The older generation lost all their hair and held wooden fish in their hands. Every once in a while, when the wooden fish rings, people of the same age kneel down and kowtow together. When I first saw this situation, I thought which one was getting married.
After ancestor worship, it means to pay a New Year call. All the ancestors went together, and the woman stood at the door and handed the cigarette to the guests. To put it bluntly, it is to organize a group to stand at someone else's house for a while and smoke two cigarettes by the way.
This is the custom of Chinese New Year in my hometown, and there is not much difference.
I know the custom. Every place has its own unique customs. My mother's hometown is in Ningbo, Zhejiang, so I'm half from Ningbo. Let me introduce the unique customs of Ningbo to you.
Ningbo, taken from "Haiding Zeboning", is called "Yong" for short. Ningbo, located in the southeast corner of the Yangtze River Delta, is one of the cradles of shipbuilding and navigation in China's history. Ningbo is also a famous historical and cultural city. As early as 7000 years ago, Hemudu people created a splendid culture here. So this has formed a unique Ningbo.
There are countless delicious foods in Ningbo. Lard dumplings are one of the four famous spots in Ningbo. People in Ningbo have the custom of eating lard jiaozi during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. Tangyuan is round, symbolizing round and round. The stuffing of lard jiaozi is made of lard, black sesame and sweet-scented osmanthus.
The soup is bright in color, thin in skin and full of stuffing. Coupled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, a bite will be full of praise. There is also a kind of food called green cake in Ningbo. Because it is made of a plant called "Qing", its color is turquoise, like a piece of jade. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, green cakes were the most popular. In Ningbo, ancestor worship can be done without chicken, duck and fish, but there must be green cakes. There are two flavors of green cakes: salty and sweet. There is both the fragrance of grass and the breath of spring.
The customs in Ningbo are very unique. On the day of long summer, every household in Ningbo boiled eggs with black tea, which is called long summer eggs. The most interesting thing that day was "leaning on an egg". Before the long summer, parents made an egg cover with colored silk thread, put tea eggs in it and let the children hang on their chests. The children hold tea eggs and squeeze each other with one end. Whoever finally breaks the eggshell will win the "leaning on the egg" competition. In addition, children in the long summer will tie colorful silk ropes on their wrists or braids on the same day, which is said to relieve summer heat and diseases.
These are the customs in festivals, and there are other customs in Ningbo. For example, when building a beam, the owner will not only set off firecrackers, but also throw steamed buns from the roof for neighbors to grab, which will also make others feel happy. Someone here wants to get married and must pick up relatives early in the morning. The banquet usually starts around twelve o'clock, but Ningbo is different. The bride gets married at two or three in the afternoon, and the banquet starts at night. If someone dies or worships their ancestors, most places burn paper money. Ningbo people have to fold a silver rectangle into a boat shape and blow a breath at the bottom, which will become a delicate paper ingot.
Having said that, I think everyone must know something about Ningbo, a beautiful city and beautiful customs. Ningbo's unique amorous feelings are endless, and my unique feelings for Ningbo cannot be erased or cut off.
I know the custom. The Dragon Boat Festival is full of strong China colors in people's minds: eating zongzi, lighting realgar and racing dragon boats ... Such a well-behaved traditional festival will one day be related to handmade DIY? ! If you are lucky enough to come to our community during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can not only feel the relief of Chinese culture in the same strain, but also feel the modern vitality of ancient festivals.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the sales hall in the community was brightly lit, candlelight was flickering and people were buzzing. There is an antique long table in the center of the hall, and there are several exquisite plush chairs beside the table. There are pots of white glutinous rice and clear green leaves on the table, which looks solemn. Haha, you guessed it-a must-have item every year, jiaozi! The children who participated in the activities were carefully wrapped, quadrangles, triangles and even some were wrapped into flat polyhedrons!
You might say, "This is nothing interesting. It's just a jiaozi! " Don't worry, young Xia! Another big custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is "wearing sachets". Look, after cleaning the desktop, a colorful "garden" stands up: red cloth, blue cloth, embroidered with lucky cats and printed with cherry blossoms ... it is simply a cloth market. As for what a needle and thread brain is, we are a bit "teaching fish to swim". A few teaching assistants on the side flew needles lightly, which dazzled us. Soon, a delicate and beautiful sachet was born. But when we "sharpen our knives" ourselves, it is not so standardized. One by one, "crooked melons and cracked dates" are placed on a table, which can be called "dancing with the devil" Some children do as the teacher does, and the finished product is "sloppy"; Some students created a triangular pendant sachet according to the one they bought at home in previous years, and sewed on the tassel of the atmosphere ... I found a new method to sew the finished product, which is no different from the type recorded in A Dream of Red Mansions. I specially chose the cloth with crane pattern on the red background and made an adjustable movable chain with colored rope. There is a red tassel of China hanging at the bottom of the sachet, which adds a lot of interest. The sachet I made is worn on my chest, but it has a sweet taste!
Although the dumplings and sachets made by ourselves are far more delicious than those bought in the market, in our hearts, these "dumplings with different shapes" are always the sweetest and the most glutinous, and those "colorful" sachets are always the most fragrant and beautiful ... Because of the warm company of these "fruits of labor", this Dragon Boat Festival is definitely the most unique one we have spent since then, and it is also a Dragon Boat Festival that we will always remember.
