Hometown Folk Custom
There are different styles in a hundred miles, and different customs in a thousand miles. Every place has different folk customs during the New Year.
My grandfather and grandmother are Zhang Jinren. They have a lively New Year there. They set off firecrackers, eat fish cakes and eat braised pork, especially the fried meatballs and braised pork cooked by my grandmother are the best. At this time of the year, I will stay by my grandmother's steamer, waiting for her freshly baked fish cake. Before my grandmother puts the fish cake in place, I can't wait to steal it with my little hand. The fish cake that just came out of the cage is so hot that I scream, and the delicious smell makes me forget the hot fish cake and put it all in my mouth. "Delicious!" I can't help admiring.
It is also necessary for every household to post couplets during the Chinese New Year. The red couplets are full of words of blessing. It is said by adults that people used to make mahogany into a "symbol" and put it in front of their doors, and they changed it every New Year. Later, it gradually evolved into a popular form of couplets.
One morning, my uncle and grandfather woke me up from my sleep and asked me to go down with them to help paste the couplets. Grandpa took the ladder, I took scissors and tape, and my uncle took the couplets. We went downstairs together. Downstairs, my grandfather put the ladder on the shelf, and I took scissors and tape to cut the tape into sections. My uncle handed it to my grandfather with a couplet, which was aligned up and down, left and right. The couplets were pasted with the words "Financial resources roll with spring, happy sheep and sheep come with happiness", which attracted attention. My grandfather stood in front of the couplet and smiled as if he saw the family in the Year of the Sheep. This is, the lanterns are hung up, so I packed my things and went upstairs. As soon as I went upstairs, the table was already full of fish cakes, braised pork and fried meatballs, and my mouth was watering. My brother and I tried to taste everything in each bowl, and we didn't forget to praise grandma's delicious food while eating. Grandma's mouth was laughing from ear to ear.
Chinese New Year is really a good day. For the members of our families, we should study harder and make our families happy. This is the real Chinese New Year. Hometown customs 2
"Different winds in a hundred miles, different customs in a thousand miles" Every place has its own characteristics, and my hometown is no exception.
My hometown is Jiuyuan Village, Deqing County. There are beautiful scenery, charming scenery, birds and flowers, tree-lined, and even the custom of Chinese New Year has a unique flavor.
On New Year's Eve, you have to get busy as soon as you get up and wash up in the morning. First of all, go to the woodshed to worship the kitchen god. Kitchen God is a god between heaven and earth. Every day today, he will tell God the joys and sorrows of this family for a year, so people buy maltose, first put some incense on it to show their respect, and then put a bowl of maltose, worship three times, so that he can only report good news, not bad news, so that God thinks that we have a good life and can make the crops smooth.
After paying homage to Kitchen God, I started cooking lunch at about 9 o'clock. Lunch is almost a rehearsal for the New Year's Eve, because only some people can't come now.
there are rules about food! There must be two dishes of vegetables, which means that crops can grow lush in summer and ensure a good harvest in autumn. Then there is a big bowl of boiled eggs, which can only be eaten by pregnant women or raw ones. Besides, only children can eat them. Then there is a dish of pheasant, which means that people don't hurt their voices when they call livestock all over the mountain. Another dish of red carp, there must be two, the meaning is booming, and there are more than (fish) every year.
after lunch, in normal times, it should be an afternoon leisure time once a day, but today it is not. We will start work for the New Year's Eve dinner around 2 o'clock, cutting vegetables, chops, making a fire and adding firewood. At about 4: 3, it's even more lively. The woodshed in the new house and the old house is full of firewood. The New Year's Eve dinner must be served before 7 o'clock, and three people must keep the woodshed while eating, because at this time, the maltose in the kitchen god's mouth is almost gone, and if it is gone, he will report his worries to God. However, in front of his family, he will not do this. At 7: 3, God will go back to rest and keep it until 7: 3.
at 8: 3, people are hungry and can't eat any more New Year's Eve, so they can only eat sweets and cakes, because the next three days will be the rest day of the whole village, and they can't cook after eating them all.
The "Firecracker Symphony" started at 12: . The whole village set off extra-long firecrackers, but it was rhythmic. It was just burned here, and it was being burned there. It was more lively than the New Year's Eve dinner and the production process! !
This is a custom in my hometown. What about yours? Hometown customs 3
Every hometown has its own good customs. Today I will talk about the custom of Spring Festival in my hometown.
The Spring Festival is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Every household has put up couplets and hung red lanterns. Every family stays at home for the new year. At four or five o'clock in the morning, every household began to set off firecrackers. And beautiful fireworks. Why do you want to celebrate the Spring Festival? I asked my mother. Mother told me a story.
Long, long ago, there was a monster named Nian. Before the New Year's Day, it crawled ashore and hurt people and animals. On the first day of this year, an old man came. I found that people packed their bags and drove livestock to the mountains. An old lady found the old man here. She said to her, "Come with us quickly, and the Year will come soon!"! The old man said, "I'm not afraid of Nian. Can I stay at your house for one night?"? Aunt said, "Well, you should be careful about Nian". After a while, Nian walked into the village with his head held high and found no one there. Only one room is occupied. Nian went to the house and found an old man wearing a red robe and carrying a firecrackers. The door was covered with red paper, and the house was brightly lit. The old man lit a firecracker. Scared Nian into running back to the river. Not even a shadow was seen, and the villagers returned to the village the next day. Finding the village intact, people went to auntie's house. Kneel down to the old man and say, "Thank you, old fairy, for driving Nian away. Otherwise, the village will suffer. " The old man said, "I am not a fairy, but I know that Nian has three fears. One is afraid of red, the other is afraid of loud, and the third is afraid of bright. " So every New Year's Day, every household is brightly lit. Set off firecrackers and stick red couplets.

There are some customs in my hometown that no one can change. During the Chinese New Year, no matter who you are, you must go back to reunite with your family and have a reunion dinner.
At the reunion dinner, our family will clink glasses, but we children can't drink. What can we do? Haha, you must have heard of the saying that tea replaces wine, so our children will clink glasses with drinks or tea instead of wine. Everyone clinks glasses with each other, which represents a summary of the past year; Represents each other's expectations and blessings for the New Year; Represents the harmony and happiness of the family. Everyone gathered around to talk about my plans in daily life, work and study this year, share them with my relatives and encourage and support each other.
the reunion dinner represents the reunion of people's lives, the beauty of life and the harmony of the big family of the motherland! Hometown customs 5
"Spring Festival" is the happiest festival in a year, and it is also the most pleasant time for people. However, there are many customs in this festival.
giving "lucky money" is one of them. Legend has it that there is a beast in the world called "Nian". Every last day of the year, it comes out to make trouble, especially to eat children, which makes people panic. Later, a family's children put the money given by their elders under their pillows when they slept. In the dead of night, the terrible beast "Nian" ran out and happened to run to the family's house. When he saw the thin-skinned child, his mouth watered and his evil claws stretched out. At this critical moment, the money under the pillow shone with golden light. "Year old" was like an electric shock, screaming "whoa" and fleeing. People know the way to subdue the old, so they follow suit one by one. Later, giving "lucky money" is not only to drive away the terrible "old age", but also a good blessing from the elders to the younger generation.
In addition to giving "lucky money", there is also a family reunion dinner that everyone values during the Spring Festival. The reunion dinner is different from ordinary meals. Besides the rich dishes, it also has symbolic significance. For example, fish symbolizes "more than enough every year", rice cakes symbolize "rising step by step", taro and yuba symbolize "prosperity", and these * * * both express people's good wishes for a better life. At the reunion dinner, every relative should be present, and all of them are indispensable. The elders should also propose a toast one by one, and the younger generation should also respond one by one, indicating the ardent expectations of the elders and the respect of the younger generation for the elders.
I like the Spring Festival, because it not only lets me know many different customs, but also brings together relatives and friends who are far away, which makes the blood ties between them stronger. Hometown customs 6
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. Every Dragon Boat Festival, my hometown, Jinhua, Zhejiang, has the custom of racing dragon boats, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine.
It is said that after the death of Qu Yuan, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. Fishermen rowed boats and kept shuttling back and forth on the river to salvage Qu Yuan's real body. Several fishermen took out rice balls, eggs and other foods and threw them into the river "plop, plop", saying that the ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs would not bite the doctor's body if they were full. An old doctor took an altar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying that he wanted to stun the dragon water beast with medicine so as not to hurt Dr. Qu. Later, these have developed into today's Dragon Boat Festival customs.
When it comes to dragon boat racing, I will never forget the exciting scene ...
On the fifth day of May, people got up early and all gathered at the Wujiang River. Before the game started, the shore was already crowded with people and people! People have surrounded a long river bank with three layers inside and outside! My mother and I almost broke our heads trying to find a good position! The game has started! People are looking east with excitement. "Knock-knock-knock!" From the distance of Wujiang River, there was a deep drum sound, mixed with forceful slogans. It's closer! It's closer! I can vaguely see five or six dragon boats coming here quickly, getting bigger and clearer.
The dragon boat's dragon head is held high, shining with colorful light, just like the auspicious dragon walking on clouds. The strong men rowing the boat shouted loud slogans and the movements in their hands were uniform. The speed of several ships is neck and neck, and you chase after me. People borrow dragons, and dragons have people's gods. The vigorous dragons have aroused rows of white waves on the river. The crowd behind them cheered and applauded for their dragon boat team. The sound of cameras and mobile phones taking pictures keeps ringing, and everyone wants to keep this unforgettable shot. When the dragon boat passed in front of us, I even saw the taut muscles on the strong man's arms and the bean-sized sweat flowing from the drum-drummer's forehead.
It's not hard to see that they are very tired and the speed of the dragon boat has slowed down, but they still insist on encouraging themselves with slogans and rush to the finish line! On the Wujiang River, this is really a beautiful scenery ...
The competition is over, the crowd slowly "retreats", the river bank gradually quietens down, my mother and I walk along the shore, and the story of Qu Yuan and the history of the Dragon Boat Festival are played over and over again on the radio on the shore ... Hometown customs 7
My hometown is Pucheng, which is a small county, but that's all.
let me start with the spring festival! On New Year's Eve, every family begins to eat New Year's Eve after 3 o'clock. "Egg Roll" is an essential dish. Its color is golden yellow, which symbolizes that every family is prosperous every year and children can honor their elders. After dinner, we never go out. Grandma said, "If we go out, we will take away everyone's good luck." Although we can't go out, we can't go out at home, but at home, we can still have fun. The adults played cards at home all night, and the children set off fireworks! This means good luck and good fortune every year ... After New Year's Eve, the first day of the first month is also very popular! Get up in the morning and have a cup of "osmanthus honey" after washing. This is our children's favorite. It tastes sweet and fragrant ... This means that I hope everyone's life will be prosperous, sweet and beautiful ... After dinner, they will pay New Year greetings to their elders. Children will be happy when they get lucky money, but they can't spend money indiscriminately from the first day to the third day, which means that it is very difficult for adults in this year. On the fourth day of the first month, the whole family will go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense and pay respects to the Bodhisattva, so that the Bodhisattva can bless the children and grandchildren, and their lives will be happier ... After the sixth day, everything will return to normal, and the adults will continue to work. It is time for the children to review their lessons and welcome the arrival of the new semester. This Spring Festival is unforgettable. Hometown customs 8
My hometown has peculiar customs.
If you visit relatives during the Spring Festival, you should hold a big steamed bun, which looks like an upside-down iron pot and is only white. The chassis is as thick as a sea bowl. Two big buns, in terms of weight, are almost a catty. In addition, I don't know from which year, the habit of holding big buns has evolved into that when relatives have elders, no matter what they call aunts, aunts and uncles, they must take big buns when visiting relatives during the New Year, and they must be in pairs.
From my mother's time to now, in my opinion, the big steamed bun is a kind of etiquette and a kind of dignity-not only respect, but also a kind of dignity of ordinary people.
Grandma lives with my family, and my parents have many nephews, so as long as I can remember, my family has collected the most steamed buns among relatives. There are many secrets hidden in the big bun, which was discovered by grandma. Every time after the relatives left, grandma always looked at the big buns filled with several big pots, and she was always very satisfied. However, grandma will store the big buns separately. She pointed to a pair of big buns and said, Who took this? His family is the poorest, the outer layer is white flour, and the inside is bound to be sweet potato pieces. In order to weigh enough, he deliberately does not steam them, so he should eat them first to avoid being sour. Pointing to another big steamed bun, he said that this family is not very poor, with white flour outside and sorghum flour or corn flour inside; Finally, the old man will point to the few big buns and say, "These are all pure noodles taken by relatives in the city, and save them for the last ..."
In normal times, my hometown often invites professional people to perform operas in a designated place, or when someone is getting married, the baby will also invite a singing stage to perform for us at the full moon.
this is the custom in my hometown, which is strange and mysterious. Hometown Customs 9
