First of all, we should sort out the information collected in the preparatory work, including the name, content, theoretical basis, participants, organizational arrangements and division of labor, estimated time and funds, etc.
The first is the drafting of the title. The topic has been established in the preparatory work, so the topic of the opening report is not a problem. Just write down your research topic directly. For example, I once instructed a group of students to study the Lunjiao culture, such as "Lunjiao cake", Lunjiao woodworking machinery, and Lunjiao cultural relics. The proposed topic is "Research on Lunjiao Culture".
The second is the writing of content. The main contents of the opening report include the following parts:
First, the research background. The so-called discipline background mainly refers to why we should study this discipline, so some disciplines simply call this part "asking questions", which means why we should ask this question, or why we should ask this discipline. For example, in the background of a project I directed, "Research on Lunjiao Culture", it is said that in the wave of reform and opening up, Lunjiao, as a corner of the Pearl River Delta, has a rapid economic development. At the same time, what is the development of her culture, what achievements it has, what impact it has on residents, and what needs to be improved. Of course, there are many contents of background description, which can be social background or natural background. The key is what we have determined.
Second, the content of the study. The content of the subject research, as its name implies, is what our subject should study. For example, the subject "The New Eight Scenes of Foshan" directed by Mr. Huang Shu of our school, the research content is: "Focusing on the New Eight Scenes of Foshan, investigating the yesterday, today and tomorrow of Foshan's historical and cultural precipitation, and combining with the economic development trend of Foshan, making a feasibility report and development plan for developing cultural tourism with the new eight sceneries and new weather."
Third, the purpose and significance of the study.
The purpose of the study should be to describe what you hope to achieve in this study or what you hope to get. For example, the research topic of "Re-taking the Long March Road" directed by Mr. Ye in our school is described in the column of its research objectives:
1. By reappearing the course of the Long March and recalling the great achievements of the Red Army soldiers, we have a deeper understanding and feeling of the general situation of the Long March, what difficulties and obstacles we encountered on the way, and what the spirit of the Long March is.
2. Through the division of labor, cooperation, communication, presentation and explanation among the students in the group, cultivate the spirit of cooperation and participation and the ability of self-presentation.
3. Through this activity, students' information technology has been improved and their information literacy has been further improved.
Fourth, research methods.
In the part of "research methods", we should put forward the ways or procedures for our research group to solve this problem. Generally speaking, the research methods of research-based learning are: field investigation (the method of organizing students to conduct field investigation in their places of study, so as to draw conclusions), questionnaire investigation (the method of setting some questions according to the situation of the subject and the content to be understood, and investigating relevant personnel in the form of questionnaire), personal interview (the method of directly interviewing relevant personnel to master first-hand information) and literature investigation (by consulting various materials, charts, etc.)
Fifth, the steps of research.
The steps of subject research, of course, refer to what steps the subject has to go through to achieve the purpose of research. Therefore, this part should focus on our topic, which is about to be completed in several steps. Generally speaking, the basic steps of the subject research are nothing more than the following aspects: preparation stage, data access stage, field investigation stage, questionnaire investigation stage, interview stage, data analysis and arrangement stage, and summary and reflection stage of this subject.
Six, project participants and organizational division of labor.
This belongs to the management category of this study, but it can't be ignored. Due to poor management, students can't define their responsibilities, sometimes they are lazy or shirk their responsibilities, and sometimes they do repetitive work. Therefore, the organization and division of labor of project participants is very important. It is best to divide all the students involved in the research into several groups, and each group will elect a group leader through democratic elections, who will be responsible for the task allocation and implementation of the group. Then according to the situation of this topic, the related research tasks are divided into several parts, and one group is responsible for one part. Finally, the team leader will organize personnel to summarize and sort out.
Seven, the project budget.
A project needs some funds to start, so finally, it is necessary to roughly estimate how much money this project needs, such as how much money it needs to collect information, the cost of field investigation, the cost of printing and distributing questionnaires, the space occupied by the research group, and the printing cost of some related materials and concluding reports. The so-called "the army has not moved, food and grass come first", without sufficient funds as the backing, the research of the subject will inevitably be difficult, stretched and even abandoned halfway. Therefore, the funds of this topic must be estimated at the beginning of the topic selection and planned in advance, so as to truly do the best research on this topic.

I. Programme of activities:
The Spring Festival is coming, which is the biggest and most lively traditional festival of our people. Of course, there are many different festivals in China, so what other well-known festivals are there?
First of all, we ask some elders about their usual traditional festivals, and then look up some information about the origins, legends and customs of these festivals from the internet or the library.
Accustomed to waiting. Next, we do some questionnaires to investigate people's understanding of traditional festivals in China. Finally, we made a suggestion to urge people to pay more attention to and understand the traditional festivals in China.
(1) background:
How much do you know about 1? We all know that the Spring Festival is the most solemn and lively traditional festival in China, but we may not know enough about other festivals besides the Spring Festival, let alone really know, so our group made a survey on this matter. Research reasons and purposes:
The Spring Festival is coming. This is the most traditional and grand festival in China. Of course, there are also festivals worth celebrating. Like Tomb-Sweeping Day and Double Ninth Festival in China; There are also Mother's Day and Valentine's Day in the West. They all have one thing in common, that is, they all have their own long-standing stories. Out of curiosity, we investigated various festivals in China.
(2) Information
Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month, also known as lunar calendar, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". This is the biggest and most lively traditional festival in China. The Spring Festival has a long history, which originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the beginning and end of the Shang Dynasty. According to the China lunar calendar, the first day of the first month is called Yuanri, Chen Yuan, Jacky, Yuanshuo and New Year's Day. Commonly known as the first day of the first month. It was changed to Gregorian calendar in the Republic of China. The first day of the Gregorian calendar is called New Year's Day, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is called Spring Festival.
paste up Spring Festival couplets
There are many kinds of Spring Festival couplets, which can be divided into door heart, frame pair, cross string, spring strip and bucket square according to the place of use. The "door core" is attached to the center of the upper end of the door panel; The "door frame pair" is attached to the left and right door frames; "Cross-dressing" is posted on the crossbar of the door; "Spring strips" are posted in corresponding places according to different contents; "Dou Jin", also known as "door leaf", is a square diamond, often attached to furniture and screen walls.
Stick the window grilles and the word "fu" upside down.
In the folk, people also like to stick various paper-cuts on the windows-window grilles. Because it is often pasted on the window, it is also called "window grilles". With its unique generalization and exaggeration, window grilles show auspicious things and good wishes incisively and vividly, and decorate festivals with colorful colors.
While putting up Spring Festival couplets, some people have to put large and small "Fu" characters on doors, walls and lintels. Sticking the word "Fu" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in China. The word "Fu" symbolizes good luck and wishes for a happy life and a bright future. In order to fully reflect this yearning and wish, some people simply put the word "Fu" upside down, indicating that "Fu has arrived" and "Fu has arrived". Others elaborate the word "Fu" into various patterns, such as longevity, longevity peach, carp yue longmen, abundant grains, dragons and phoenixes, and so on.
New Year picture
Hanging New Year pictures during the Spring Festival is also very common in urban and rural areas. Thick black and colorful New Year pictures add a lot of prosperity and festive atmosphere to thousands of families. New Year pictures are an ancient folk art in China, which reflects people's simple customs and beliefs and places their hopes on the future. New Year pictures, like Spring Festival couplets, originated from "door gods". With the rise of block printing, the content of New Year pictures is not limited to monotonous themes such as door gods, but has become rich and colorful. Some New Year pictures workshops have produced classic color New Year pictures, such as Fu Lushou's Samsung, God bless the people, abundant crops, prosperous livestock and welcoming the New Year, to meet people's good wishes of celebrating and praying for the New Year. There are three important producing areas of Chinese New Year pictures: Taohuawu in Suzhou, Yangliuqing in Tianjin and Weifang in Shandong; Three schools of New Year pictures have been formed, each with its own characteristics.
firecracker
There is a folk saying in China that "open the door and set off firecrackers". That is, when the new year comes, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Firecracker is a specialty of China, also known as "Firecracker", "Firecracker" and "Firecracker". Its origin is very early, and it has a history of more than two thousand years. Setting off firecrackers can create a festive and lively atmosphere, which is a kind of entertainment in festivals and can bring happiness and good luck to people. With the passage of time, firecrackers are more and more widely used, and there are more and more varieties and colors. Every major festival and happy celebration, as well as marriage, building, opening, etc. We should set off firecrackers to celebrate and make good luck. At present, Liuyang, Hunan, Foshan and Dongyao, Yichun and Pingxiang, Jiangxi, Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other regions are famous fireworks towns in China. The firecrackers produced have many colors and high quality, which are not only sold well all over the country, but also exported to all parts of the world.
The night before the real Chinese New Year is called Reunion Night. A wanderer who has left his hometown has to go home from thousands of miles away. During the Spring Festival, the whole family will sit around and wrap jiaozi. Jiaozi's practice is to use flour to make dumpling wrappers first, and then use leather bags to fill them. The contents of stuffing are varied, and all kinds of meat, eggs, seafood and seasonal vegetables can be stuffed. The orthodox practice in jiaozi is to cook it with clear water, remove it and mix it with vinegar, minced garlic and vegetables. There are also methods of frying jiaozi and baking jiaozi (fried dumpling). Because the word "he" in dough mixing means "he"; Jiaozi's "jiao" and "glue" are homophonic, and "harmony" and "glue" have the meaning of reunion, so jiaozi is used to symbolize the reunion of acacia; It is very auspicious to make friends with older people; In addition, jiaozi, which is shaped like an ingot, has the auspicious meaning of "making a fortune" when eating jiaozi in the New Year. All the families get together to pack jiaozi, so it's fun to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient traditional festival, which started in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Commemorating Qu Yuan
Dragon boat race: Dragon boat race is the main custom of Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, people who originated in the ancient State of Chu were reluctant to part with the death of the sage Qu Yuan, and many people rowed boats to save people. They rushed to catch up with each other and disappeared at Dongting Lake. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. Rowing dragon boats to disperse the fish in the river,
To prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. The habit of competition prevailed in wuyue and Chu.
According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, millet was wrapped into horns by leaves of zinia latifolia, which was called "horny millet". Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and baked, which is called "tube zongzi". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, millet soaked in plant ash water. Because the water contains alkali, the millet is wrapped in leaves into a quadrilateral, and when cooked, it becomes Guangdong sour rice dumplings.
In the Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared conical and rhombic. There is a record of "Da Tang Zongzi" in Japanese literature. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a "candied jiaozi", that is, fruits entered jiaozi. The poet Su Dongpo has a poem "See Yangmei in Zongzi". At this time, there were also advertisements for building pavilions and wooden chariots and horses with zongzi, indicating that eating zongzi was very fashionable in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi changed from leaves to leaves. Later, zongzi wrapped in reed leaves appeared, and additional materials such as bean paste, pork, pine nuts, dates and walnuts appeared, and the varieties were more colorful.
Seven laws. Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is full of storms, and the children in the village are still wearing old clothes;
Invited to bring a hat, dare to love the thatched cottage for the mud;

At that time, the fish was three feet, not as delicious as the beans today.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave-sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave and offering sacrifices to the dead. Most Han people and some ethnic minorities visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day. According to the old custom, when sweeping graves, people should bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, break some green branches and insert them in front of the graves, then kowtow and worship, and finally go home after eating and drinking.
Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival, according to the solar calendar, between April 4th and 6th every year, it is the season of beautiful spring and lush vegetation, and it is also a good time for people to have a spring outing (called outing in ancient times), so the ancients had the custom of going for an outing in Qingming and carrying out a series of sports activities.
To this day, the custom of worshipping ancestors and mourning the dead relatives in Tomb-Sweeping Day is still very popular.
The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Tomb-Sweeping Day is first of all a very important solar term. As soon as Tomb-Sweeping Day arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good season for spring ploughing and planting. Therefore, there is a saying that "melons and beans are planted before and after Qingming". Agricultural proverb "Planting trees is not as clear as Qingming". Later, as the days of Qingming and cold food approached, cold food was the day when people banned fire to sweep graves. Gradually, cold food and Qingming became one, and cold food became another name of Qingming and became a custom of Qingming. On Qingming Day, there are no fireworks, only cold food.
Tomb-Sweeping Day's customs are rich and interesting. In addition to paying attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, there are a series of customs and sports activities such as jogging, swinging, cuju, playing polo and inserting willows. According to legend, this is because Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to ban cold food and fire. In order to prevent the harm of cold food and cold meal to people, we all take part in some sports activities to exercise. Therefore, this festival is a distinctive festival, with both sad tears to sweep graves and laughter for an outing.

August 15th of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In China's lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called "moonlit night" and "August Festival". On this night, people look up at the bright moon like jade in the sky and naturally look forward to family reunion. Wanderers who are far away from home also take this opportunity to pin their thoughts on their relatives in their hometown. Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Reunion Festival".
In ancient China, there was a custom of "autumn and dusk". The moon at night is to worship the moon god. In the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, activities to welcome the cold and offer sacrifices to the moon were held. Put a big incense table, with offerings such as moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums and grapes, among which moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. Watermelon must be cut into lotus shapes. Under the moon, put the moon statue in the direction of the moon, and the red candle burns high. The whole family takes turns in Yue Bai, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes. If people are laid off in advance, the number of people in the whole family will be counted, including those at home and those from other places. You can't lay off more or less, but the size should be the same.
Nowadays, the custom of playing under the moon is far less popular than in the old days. However, feasting and enjoying the moon are still very popular. People drink alcohol in the middle of the moon to celebrate a better life, or wish their distant relatives health and happiness and spend a good time with their families.
There are many customs and forms of Mid-Autumn Festival, but all of them are entrusted with people's infinite love for life and yearning for a better life.
Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. Like other traditional festivals, it develops slowly. The ancient emperors had a system of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. As early as in Zhou Li, the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was recorded. Later, aristocratic scholars followed suit. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they watch and worship the bright and round moon in the sky to express their feelings. This custom spread to the people and formed a traditional activity. Until the Tang Dynasty, people paid more attention to this Yue Bai custom, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. Tang Book 1 records "Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th", among which
The legend of Mid-Autumn Festival is very rich, and fairy tales such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting Guangxi and Jade Rabbit smashing medicine are widely circulated.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people's main activities are enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes.
Prelude to Water Melody
(Song) Su Dongpo
Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, happy drinking. Drunk, writing this article, pregnant.
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance.
I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight?
I want to go home by wind, but I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu.
It's too cold up there! Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world.
The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self.
The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone?
People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past.
I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.

Suggestions on rational use of network
Dear students:
China is a multi-ethnic country with a long history of five thousand years. In the historical process of continuous development, many unique festivals with various forms and rich contents have been formed. Festivals are the essence of human daily life. They distinguish the stages in a life cycle, show the significance of each stage, and keep the most exquisite and representative side of national culture in festival sports. China has a long history and many colorful festivals, all of which are cultural assets handed down from generation to generation. Although individual festivals have different styles, they all retain the wisdom and experience of their ancestors to some extent. They reflect the traditional habits, moral customs and religious ideas of the nation, and entrust the vision of the whole nation. They are distant happy events handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. It is an important carrier of China's spirit and emotion. China's festivals are among the best in the world.
However, there are very few festivals that China people really understand and clearly understand. To this end, we send the following initiatives to young students and friends in our city:
First, know the exact dates of various traditional festivals in China.
Second, understand the origin and customs of traditional festivals in China.
Thirdly, communicate with parents, classmates and friends and explore China Festival.
Fourthly, introduce and publicize China festivals to foreign friends and promote international exchanges.
Students, traditional festivals in China need our promotion and admiration. Traditional festivals are one of the important cultures in China. We should protect our festivals and don't let western festivals usurp the role of hosts.

Research achievement paper
Through this activity, everyone learned some knowledge. Even festivals that have been known since childhood can learn more about historical background and culture.
Since ancient times, China has been a big country with harmonious and united ethnic groups, and festivals among ethnic groups are of course indispensable. This activity has greatly deepened our understanding of national festivals.
The Spring Festival is a well-deserved "best festival" and the most solemn and lively festival among all festivals in China. But this is not the only festival that everyone is interested in. For example, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Tanabata and so on. Because every festival has different ways and customs to celebrate. So everyone is happy to experience the joy brought by every festival.
We know that the Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". This is the biggest and most lively traditional festival in China.
We know that the Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient traditional festival, which started in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years.
We also learned that Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave-sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave and offering sacrifices to the dead.
In addition, we also know that every festival has poems, such as the Spring Festival, the January Day of Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival of Lao She, and the Tomb-Sweeping Day of Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty.
In a word, this activity "What do you know about festivals in China" has made us all re-understand, re-understand the unique charm of festivals in China and be impressed by it.
Activity perception
Eight horses reported good news in a low voice, and the Wuyang jumping exhibition presented a new atmosphere.
Flowers are red, kumquat is beaming, and Chinese children ride in the Year of the Sheep. The Spring Festival is held every year, and this year's festival is unusual. As the saying goes, "customs change at any time", the custom of the Spring Festival has been inherited and evolved to this day, and many changes have taken place in form and content. Looking back, each era has its own style:
New Year's Eve in the 1950s: How happy are you to eat a few pounds of meat in a few days?
Fashion in 1960s: Celebrating the New Year in the Wide World
New year's goods in the 1970s: novel manufacturing.
Entertainment in the 1980s: Watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Happy New Year in 1990s: Health comes first.
There are many tricks in modern society, which are the same for several years. Pager New Year greetings, telephone greetings, text messages, restaurant New Year's Eve dinner, travel for the New Year. But after all, this is a good show for a few fashionable people, and the voice of the public is that the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker. Yes, it should be the result of natural selection. First of all, the rapid changes in social life make some very important folk customs of the Spring Festival face a crisis. Celebrating the harvest, worshipping ancestors and exorcising ghosts are the souls of the Spring Festival. Nowadays, people, especially the new generation of cities, not only get rid of farming, but also stay away from the patriarchal clan system. The significance of celebrating the harvest during the Spring Festival has disappeared. Nowadays, people believe in technology and are not afraid of ghosts worshipping God. The exorcism ceremony was also cancelled. Shounian is the core of the festival. If it is omitted, it will definitely affect the status of festivals, weaken people's holiday psychology, and make people feel that festivals are not much different from ordinary days, which will affect the inheritance of festivals. Its original intention is to pray for a long life. Now people have lost this belief and are unwilling to stay up late. But we regard "looking after the elderly" as a sleepless night in a year. There is nothing wrong with chatting, chatting, entertaining, summing up the past and thinking about the future.
Second, since the 20th century, radicalism has prevailed in the mainstream culture of China. They oppose modernization and tradition, science and belief, tradition and religious belief; Therefore, many traditional contents and beliefs in the folk customs of the Spring Festival have been destroyed. For example, the first day of the solar calendar is called "New Year", and the new year of the traditional calendar is renamed the Spring Festival, which dilutes and blurs the meaning of the Spring Festival. So that some people want to cancel the Spring Festival and replace it with the Year of the Sun.
Thirdly, the introduction of foreign festival culture has had an impact on traditional festivals in China. On the one hand, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, which is dominated by material enjoyment, has weakened. The prosperity of western festivals, which focus on spiritual enjoyment, and the individualization and diversification of modern life also require festival diversification. People of different levels can get interest from those festivals. The more diversified, the more attractive the local culture should be. The eternity of a nation lies in the localization of its culture first. The more intense and inherent the birth of Jesus, the more prominent his dominance.
Fourth, with the shortening of working days and the increase of rest and entertainment time, Chinese New Year is no longer the main or even the only rest and entertainment time. People in towns are basically full and warm, and they no longer wait for a big meal, new clothes and visiting relatives and friends in the New Year. But under the mental pressure of seeking relief, thinking about where to play, what to play and how to play.
Times keep giving new contents to the Spring Festival, and times also keep giving it new challenges. Although the content has been increasing in different periods, the basic form and theme remain unchanged. "Good weather, abundant crops, prosperous livestock, peaceful country and people" is the ideological expression of the strong vitality and national cohesion of the Spring Festival. No matter how it changes, its profound meaning of blessing and auspiciousness has not changed. The custom of family reunion during the Spring Festival is passed down from generation to generation. No matter how hard and tired people are, the Spring Festival must be better. This is the need of personal physiological adjustment, psychological adjustment and social relationship adjustment. Whether traveling, surfing the Internet or getting together for the New Year, people are still looking for communication between people. People make roughly the same choices at the same time in a roughly similar way, which is the need of individuals, society and the country.
