Folk Composition 1 My hometown Ningxiang is located in the west of Changsha, Hunan Province. Although everything here is ordinary and not outstanding, the highlights of my hometown often attract people's attention. Among them, the traditional folk customs handed down from generation to generation are one of the highlights.
The festive atmosphere can best reflect the charm of traditional customs.
The first festival here is the Spring Festival. Before the Spring Festival, every household will kill pigs one after another after entering the twelfth lunar month, especially in rural areas. After killing pigs, villagers will be invited to have a big meal. My hometown will definitely eat chicken, fish and meat on New Year's Eve. This chicken must be a rooster. Hold your head high during the whole stew. It not only means "step by step", but also is refreshing and delicious, making people swallow their saliva if they want to eat.
Another climax after the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the Lantern Festival. It is of course essential to eat Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival. Soft white flour wrapped the delicious sandwich. Take a bite, the sweet black sesame sauce flows into your mouth and melts slowly in your mouth ... When the Lantern Festival is over, everything revolves around the "circle", so it is natural to turn on the lights. My hometown has a custom that lasts for many years-Lantern Festival. On the fourteenth and fifteenth nights of the first lunar month, red lanterns of "sleepless nights" are always lit on the pedestrian streets and administrative centers, adding a beautiful landscape to the hometown. Because of this, every Lantern Festival is a sea of people, really a sea of people! Therefore, I was very helpless when I arrived later.
Although my hometown is a small county, it has a strong cultural heritage of thousands of years, bearing the folk customs handed down by ancestors, and adding unique local characteristics to China in the world.
Folk Composition 2 Go to Tiantou every New Year's Eve to offer sacrifices to the land god, so as to achieve a bumper harvest in the coming year. When harvesting new rice, new rice should be sacrificed to ancestors and kitchen gods first.
On the fourteenth night of the first month, the villagers took torches and brooms to burn thatch in the fields, which was called "meeting the gods and expelling insects". The first seedling field in the village (commonly known as the seedling gate) avoids the "ground fire day" to prevent the ground fire from going out. Avoid handing seedlings when sowing, thinking that handing seedlings is easy to make hands wind. It is unlucky for a woman to jump over farm tools. The woman had to make a detour when she met the farm tools left on the road. When it didn't rain for a long time, farmers gathered together to ask the dragon god for rain. In case of insect disaster, welcome God to repel insects; There is also a broken broom stuck upside down in the ground, which means "please ask the broom god to repel insects." After liberation, the above-mentioned old customs were basically abolished, and scientific farming was gradually popularized.
Most of the rural areas live in groups, the villages are sunny and shady, and the houses have mud-wood structure, brick-wood structure and stone-wood structure. Most people sit facing south, west facing east and north facing south, which is called "facing south to enjoy happiness", but avoid facing south, thinking that due south will collide with Invivo, and only Antang, temples and ancestral halls face south. Most bungalows and buildings are three-in-one or three-headed. There are windows in the front and back of the building called "double opening", only some in the front are called "Fandou Building". Some halls don't have floors to prevent red and white. Deep house compound with patio for very rich people. Most of the coastal sandy land is straw house, which is generally two rooms and one cover, commonly known as "rice bucket house". In the old society, there were many taboos in building houses. Please ask Mr. Feng Shui to orient and start work another day. The right side of the new house should not be higher than or stand out from the neighbor's old house, which is called "left green dragon, right white tiger", otherwise the people on the left will be abolished. Wear red to ward off evil spirits when boarding beams. There is a sack hanging on the back beam of the upper beam, which contains a live rooster, fish scales, cereal and other exorcism objects and sacrifices. On the beam, there is also a horizontal couplet with the words "Purple light shines high". The steamed bread was thrown to Liang, and the first pair of steamed bread was caught by the elders of the head of the household with a sheet cloth. In the evening, Liang set up a wine to celebrate. I thought that "green dragons are afraid of moxibustion and white tigers are afraid of stink", so the kitchen was built on the right. Since the 1980s, the buildings are mainly concrete structures, mostly two-story balcony buildings, which are spacious, bright, beautiful and practical, and the custom of building houses for good luck has basically remained unchanged.
Folk composition 3 today introduces the Spring Festival in my hometown, which is also a new year and a new beginning.
On this day, it is a day for my hometown to spend the off-year and a day for rehearsing for the Spring Festival. At night, as soon as it was dark, I heard a burst of firecrackers. This is eating jiaozi. Every year, firecrackers should be set off before eating and sleeping, and some paper money should be burned to send the kitchen god to heaven. Only by doing this can we eat jiaozi. On this day, we will clean up the house and prepare for the arrival of the new year.
The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month is also the New Year for the hometown population. At 12 noon that day, every household posted couplets. In the evening, the family sat around the table and had a reunion dinner. At the beginning of the Spring Festival party, every household began to pack jiaozi, watching it at the same time. I can't go to bed until twelve o'clock at night, and I can't go to bed until I eat jiaozi.
On the morning of the first day of the first month, people put on new clothes, which is the happiest moment for children, because it is time to collect lucky money. After receiving the lucky money, they will go out to pay New Year's greetings together, take a walk in that house, and then wait for others to pay New Year's greetings at home.
After the Spring Festival, I can't be idle for a few days. I'm going to go back to other relatives' homes like this, and I'm going to invite the elders in the village to dinner at night. On the evening of the second day, I packed jiaozi, and went to visit the dead relatives at four or five in the morning.
This kind of day lasted until the fifteenth day of the first month. On this day, you must eat Yuanxiao and set off fireworks together at night. There are all kinds of fireworks in the sky, which adds a little color to the blue sky.
The Spring Festival lasts until the 15th day of the first month. After the Spring Festival, the weather turned warmer, the children began to go to school, and everyone began to be busy with the Spring Festival.
Hello, everyone, I am a Miao girl. I believe that the word Miao is very strange to everyone. Today, I will take you into my Miao nationality and learn about the folk customs of our Miao nationality.
The Miao nationality has a population of more than 7.4 million, which is distributed in Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hainan, Guangxi and other places. Miao people live in a mild climate, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with large and small dams dotted in the mountains, giving people a peaceful atmosphere.
Miao people also believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world. They think there are two kinds of ghosts. One kind is good ghosts, that is, gods, which will bring happiness and good luck to people. The other is evil spirits, who believe that the resentment of dead people or animals will bring bad luck and disaster. In some places, Miao people regard Pan Hu (a kind of god dog) or maple as ancestors and worship them as ancestors. Isn't that interesting?
Miao people believe in animism and worship nature. They have various primitive religious forms such as nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship, while the traditional Miao society is superstitious about ghosts and gods and witchcraft. Miao people regard some strange natural scenery as the embodiment of spirituality, and when they meet it, they will pay homage. Most of them believe in Christianity and Catholicism, and few believe in Buddhism and Taoism.
Their diet is also very interesting. Rice is the staple food for three meals a day, and stir-fried Baba is the most common food, wrapped in fresh meat or sauerkraut, which is extremely delicious. Miao people also like to eat hot and sour food. Their typical foods are: blood soup, Chili bone, Miaoxiang Guifeng soup, noodles and vegetables, insect tea, scented tea, fish paste, fish in sour soup and so on.
After introducing the diet, it is necessary to introduce the clothes. In our Miao nationality, men, women and children love silver ornaments. There are also many kinds of silver ornaments: silver crowns, silver horns, silver ribbons and small silver pendants.
This is our nation-Miao nationality, and our folk customs are unique.
Folk Composition 5 Spring Festival is the Spring Festival in China, so it is very important for us in China! Therefore, preparation before the Spring Festival is also essential.
It's the New Year! It's the New Year! Every household is busy posting Spring Festival couplets, shaving their heads and making New Year's Eve dinner ... There are too many things to do and too many "rules"! Some customs are still very strange. In desperation, I went to ask my mother who posted the Spring Festival couplets.
I saw my mother turn the word "fu" upside down. Of course, I know why I turned it upside down. It is a custom to turn the word "fu" upside down, which means that "fu" has fallen (arrived)! But I still asked, "What are the customs and rules for Chinese New Year?" Mother stopped what she was doing and talked to me patiently.
It turns out that there used to be a custom of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival, which originated from the story of "Nian Beast". A long time ago, there was a kind of "Nian beast" that lived in the deep sea bottom for a long time. On New Year's Eve, he jumped into the sea and did evil everywhere. One year, an old man drove away the "Nian Beast" by shooting a gun, wearing red clothes and sticking red Spring Festival couplets, and it was calm. Since then, this method has spread. But fireworks are forbidden in Guangzhou now, so we won't do this activity again.
New Year's Eve is extremely important to our country. Tonight, our family will celebrate the New Year and have a family reunion dinner.
Eating New Year's Eve is the most lively and enjoyable time for every household in the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, a table of rich New Year's dishes, the whole family get together, sit around the table and have a reunion dinner. People not only enjoy the delicious food on the table, but also enjoy the happy atmosphere. There are chickens, geese, barbecues and so on on the table. Generally, there are two things, one is hot pot and the other is fish. The hot pot is steaming, indicating that it is booming; "Fish" and "Yu" are homophonic, meaning "more than one year". Last dessert, I wish you a sweet life in the future.
Today, I gained a lot and learned a lot about Chinese New Year customs, but I feel a little superstitious, but it seems to be a kind of fun. As long as I am happy, why not be superstitious? What's more, this is a traditional custom. I would rather believe it or not!
Folk Composition 6 This summer vacation, my parents and brother and I traveled to Guilin, Guangxi. In the course of traveling, I found that Yao people in Guilin, Guangxi have many very interesting customs.
Students, do you know! If one day you travel to Yao nationality and see a little girl wearing a beautiful silver collar around her neck, and this silver collar can't be touched by outsiders, it means that she is not married. Because every little Yao girl is born, her parents will make this silver collar for her to wear, and only on her wedding day can her husband untie it. Then, if you see that there is no silver collar around her neck, it means that she is married.
If you want to ask how old a Yao girl is, you should ask, "How long did your sour fish drown?" She will tell you how long it drowned, and that's her age. As you said, "How old are you?" She won't talk to you. It turned out that from the day they were born, her parents had to go out to buy a big fish and drown it. Until her wedding day, the fish can be taken out for her uncle to eat, and no one else can eat it.
If you are a young man, you will want to visit Yao nationality one day! If a girl steps on you, don't be angry, kick her. Because, when she kicks you, it means that she likes you. The harder she kicks, the more she likes you. If you step on her, it means that you also like her and agree to marry her, then her family will soon invite the elders of the whole village to engage in betrothal, and you can't leave! Be careful! What if a young man has a crush on a girl? In the evening, he will sing in the bamboo house where the girl lives. If the girl likes him, she will sing with him. The girl didn't like her, so she poured cold water on her, and then he walked away.
Students, do you think Yao customs are interesting?
Folk Composition 7 The taste of Spring Festival is just like the fragrance of plum blossoms, which is wonderful and joyful.
The taste of the Spring Festival, just like the fragrance of chrysanthemum, is elegant.
The taste of the Spring Festival is like the fragrance of roses, fresh and romantic.
Looking forward to, looking forward to, looking forward to, looking forward to, looking forward to at night ... The long-awaited New Year has finally arrived, but this year's New Year is different, because this year was spent in a small town. The atmosphere of the New Year in the small town is obviously different, with bright lights and jubilation everywhere. It's not the Spring Festival yet, and fireworks are everywhere. I rode my bike around the city and there were crowds everywhere. There are stalls and shops everywhere, and cheers are everywhere. I think today is the New Year, and it will definitely be more lively.
The New Year is really a passion. What I look forward to most is the evening, which is our busiest time. New Year's Eve must be the most abundant meal in a year, and it is the happiest moment for the whole family to be busy together. Generally, it takes more than an hour to eat New Year's Eve, starting around five o'clock. Because I knew that the square would be very busy tonight, I went straight to the square with the Kongming lantern I bought after dinner.
I haven't arrived yet, but I have seen fireworks like stars. Fireworks are colorful and fleeting like a flash in the pan. Colorful fireworks rose, and the whole city was immersed in the festive fireworks. Fireworks sometimes bloom like Jin Ju and peony; Sometimes like butterflies flying and dragons taking off; Sometimes it's like flamingo trees and rainbow dances. Beautiful fireworks, blooming, falling, a moment of beauty, a moment of glory. At that moment, the whole world belongs to them, and in an instant, the whole world shines with them. A dozen fireworks pointed directly at the sky, and the "Jinsha" burst out and proudly bloomed in the air. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, everything, colorful, decorate the night sky beautifully and elegantly, and make the earth look like day. I am intoxicated with it, just like sleeping in the ocean of flowers. At that moment, my Kongming lantern also rose slowly, with my dreams and blessings.
I don't think I will forget that night, and I won't forget the taste of Chinese New Year that night: joy and passion.
Folk Custom Composition 8 Different regions and nationalities have their own unique folk customs. Different festivals, different clothes, different foods.
Every bit of life shows rich and colorful regional characteristics and unique charm of national culture. I am a girl from Dongguan, which is a distinctive and colorful city. There are many traditional festivals in Dongguan. The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanyang Festival. Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are called the four traditional festivals of the Han nationality in China. Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival, it reminds me of the story my grandfather once told me: It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the Luojiang River on the fifth day of May and was trapped by a dragon after his death. Every day, people throw colorful zongzi into the water to drive away dragons. In order to mourn, people rowed on the river, and later it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. Because of the serious water pollution, people usually eat zongzi to spend the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zongzi is a delicious food. In the village where I live, people over 60 make zongzi. Grandma said: making zongzi is very complicated, and all kinds of materials and leaves are needed.
I don't know anything. I only know that there are two kinds of zongzi: sweet zongzi and salty zongzi. Sweet zongzi is not used much, and it is red. If you eat it directly, you will definitely feel bad, but if you eat it with some sugar, it will taste better. Salted zongzi is made of many materials, such as salted eggs, soybeans and pork. So it will be delicious to eat, and there are many materials, which are deeply loved by people. I also like salty zongzi.
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, I was happy and sad. Happy: you can eat your favorite zongzi; The trouble is to eat a lot of zongzi, because grandma will give five zongzi, grandma will give ten zongzi, aunt will give five zongzi, and menstruation will give five zongzi. There are really many zongzi.
In short, the Dragon Boat Festival is happy and enjoyable!
According to the old rules in Hebei, the Spring Festival begins almost on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
On Laba Day, people get up early to cook Laba porridge and soak Laba garlic. Lunar calendar1February 23rd is a traditional "off-year". On this day, people will clean the stove and slaughter chickens and ducks to sacrifice to the Kitchen God.
Around the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, people choose auspicious days to clean their houses and welcome the New Year. At this time, thousands of families are busy, buying food, cutting meat and preparing all kinds of new year's goods.
New Year's Eve is really lively! Every household is scrambling to make New Year's Eve dinner, and there is a smell of wine and meat everywhere. Men, women and children put on beautiful new clothes and put red Spring Festival couplets outside the door. Conditional families will hang two red lanterns at the door. All the houses have lights on all night, and firecrackers go on day and night. People who are away from home must come back for a reunion dinner. On this night, people must watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
New Year's Day is the climax of the Spring Festival. On this day, people are not allowed to kill. In the morning, we should exchange auspicious words to congratulate each other, and adults should give their children lucky money. From the first day to the fifteenth, people are not allowed to say unlucky things. After breakfast, people poured into the streets from all directions and got together in groups of three and five to play chess and chat, which was very lively.
On the second day of the first month, people will visit relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings.
On the third day, everyone got up early in the morning, opened the door to sweep the floor and cleaned piles of firecrackers.
As soon as the glutinous rice balls are listed, the Spring Festival will be over. The fifteenth day of the first month is called Shangyuan Festival. On this night, there are Lantern Festival, quiz and songs, highlighting the word "noisy", and people want to eat glutinous rice balls to show happy and auspicious New Year. After this day, the Spring Festival is over. Farmers are preparing for spring ploughing, students are about to start school, and people are busy again.
Folk Composition 10 February 15th Bai Farmers Association, also known as Bai Shuhua Association. There is also such a legend.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Pirog, the imperial edict master of Dream Society, relied on his own strength and courage to send troops to attack the imperial edict of Boqiong. The Lord of Langqiu ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to break off many branches and flowers from Ling Ying Mountain, plant them in the vast Sanying Dam, and sprinkle a lot of honey water on the branches and flowers. The rich honey flavor and the fragrance of various flowers make bees and butterflies near and far smell the fragrance.
A few days later, tens of thousands of Mengshe imperial edict soldiers entered Sanyingbazi. Facing the endless "flower sea" in front of them, they were dazzled, applauded and then rushed to pick flowers. The bee was frightened and angry and stung the intruder. One by one, they were stung black and blue, crying for the ground. Thousands of butterflies in Qian Qian are also flying in front of the dream house soldiers
Go, so that they can't tell the difference between east and west. In the sound of earth-shattering drums, the soldiers in the wave dome ambushed in the dam took advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy. An ambush battle with the help of "bee soldiers and butterflies" is coming to an end. The Bai villagers summoned by Long Qiong cooked donkey soup pots and brought white flour steamed bread and highland barley wine to treat the soldiers. This day is February 15th of the lunar calendar, to commemorate this.
On ordinary days, people will come to this ancient battlefield site to gather and do business on the 15th day of the second lunar month every year. A few days before the meeting, the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law of Bai village bought white cloth and colored thread, invited each other, picked flowers and embroidered together to make embroidered towels. The Bai embroidered towel is square, with a side length of about two feet. The four corners of the embroidered towel are embroidered with a butterfly, and the center of the embroidered towel is embroidered with
Red leaves and bees. People express their gratitude to bees and butterflies. Before and after the Tree Flower Festival, Bai villagers always plant several "bee trees" and several "irises" in front of their houses to express their feelings of "missing the past and their ancestors". Sanyingbazi has the reputation of "Huaguoba", which is closely related to the legend and custom of Tree Flower Festival to some extent.
