Winter vacation life

Happy time is always It went by so fast, and before I knew it, a colorful and happy winter vacation had flown before my eyes, but what I remember most was the impression of playing gongs and drums in Grandpa’s Village. On New Year's Eve, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. After breakfast, my grandfather took me to the bridge in the village to play gongs and drums. As soon as I arrived, I discovered that the only team leader missing from the gong and drum troupe was my grandfather. Grandpa started as soon as he arrived.

"Let's all roar, boom, boom... boom, boom, choke" Haha, it sounds so good! I was beating the beat of the drum in my heart, the righteous intention was still not finished, a chapter was over, oh, it would be great if I could do it again, I really want to enjoy it again. I looked at Grandpa with expectant eyes. Grandpa seemed to understand my thoughts and called me again. "It's all booming and choking, all of it is booming and choking..." More and more people came to watch, and Grandpa and the others became more energetic and happy as they beat. Soon, they finished the second time. Unfortunately, the uncle who plays the small gong has to go back because of family matters. The band can't perform, and the onlookers can't do it either. What should I do? At this time, grandpa said: "There is a successor in our family, come on! Granddaughter! Come on!" But I have never touched these gongs and drums, but grandpa often said that saving a scene is like putting out a fire, so I had to bite the bullet and do it. An old lady next to me told me: "Little girl, just follow the beat, don't be nervous!" I felt more at ease now.

The gongs and drums sounded again. At the beginning, I was worried that I couldn't keep up with the beat, so I didn't dare to tap hard. I just slowly thought about the beat in my mind and listened to the rhythm carefully, for fear that my mistake would disrupt the overall situation. Grandpa cast an encouraging look at me. Soon, I gradually became proficient in following the beat. I let go of my hands and feet and played to my heart's content. The sonorous gongs and drums seemed to burst out from my heart, and I was completely immersed in it. In the sound of festive gongs and drums.

This is part of my happy winter vacation life! I am very happy during the Chinese New Year this year!

2.

In the eyes of students, winter vacation is the happiest holiday of the year. It is like a leaf, gently fluttering and then disappearing. It is like a stream, flowing in the blink of an eye. In these short days, I have experienced "turbulent waves" and "calm waves". For example, I set off 1,000 firecrackers on the first day of the new year, and the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month. Looking at the flowers, these are all "turbulent waves". In short, this winter vacation life was so pleasant that I can't stop recalling it. One of the things made me feel the joy of the winter vacation even more - flower blossoms.

On the night of the 15th day of the lunar month, our family finished dinner early and prepared to go see the flowers. Because I couldn’t wait, I dragged my father to see the flowers first. When the flowers started to be placed, almost everyone in the village came to see them. Everyone is here, the young ones are supporting the old ones, and the young ones are hugging each other. It’s really lively! "Silk! Silk!" Hey! What is this sound? oh! It turned out that a "Huawowo" was placed, but when it started to be placed, "Huawowo" was still a little shy and kept its appearance. Gradually, gradually, it became no stranger to it anymore. The more prickly it got, the higher it looked. From a distance, , it was like a golden fountain, and the "fountain" made it even more beautiful. All the villagers looked up and marveled. At this time, the "Huawowo" was finished, and someone said: "Hey! Our future is like Like this flower, it rises higher and higher, invincible!" This man's words won the applause of everyone, and then he released a "parachute". This "flower" was familiar from the beginning, "Whoosh"! Similarly, they flew into the sky, stayed for two or three seconds, and then with another "pop!", a parachute-like flower was formed in the sky, and they ran down one by one. At this time, someone else said: "Okay." A sign! This is a sign of joy coming from the sky!" The adults were full of praise, and the children also clapped their hands and jumped up and down. This "parachute" spread everywhere like splashing waves in the sky and like unattended trees. , and then another one...

From this incident, I realized the rapid development of science and technology and the ingenuity of our country. I think that Chinese technology, like this "flower", is getting better and better. Coming higher and higher, more and more beautiful.

Ah! The pleasant winter vacation life is both long and short. This is also the last winter vacation in my elementary school. I will cherish it even more and make it a beautiful memory in elementary school. 2. An essay on Zhejiang’s New Year customs and habits

The first day of the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, formerly known as New Year's Day.

On this day, people get up early and wear new clothes, new hats, and new shoes to say farewell to the old and welcome the new. It is said that wearing new shoes that have not been worn on the ground will make your feet light and your hands healthy in the new year.

The male host gets up, chants auspicious words to open the door first, and sets off firecrackers at the door, which is called "opening the door." Generally, three cannons are fired when opening the door. It is necessary to "bring four and release three", leaving one as "prepare cannon". The Ningbo dialect "prepare cannon" comes from this.

The higher the firecrackers are set off, the louder they are, signaling good luck in the New Year.

If it is a squib that "blows, blows, blows", it means it is unlucky. You should immediately say: "Oh, blow, blow, blow, you will get rich this year."

And immediately put another one. Rich families enshrine the portraits of their ancestors in the ancestral hall or the middle hall (the front room of the hall). They usually hang the portraits of their ancestors within five generations, which are called "offering frames", "offering shadows", "offering gold and purple" (in the past, the portraits were all in gold crowns and purple clothes). )", all synonymous.

According to the rules of some ancestral halls, men can only worship when they are 16 years old, and women are not included. The person in charge takes turns distributing a pair of sesame cakes (also known as auspicious cakes) or two bowls.

The children of each family pay homage to their elders in order, saying "Worship the New Year". On New Year's Eve, "lucky money" has been distributed, wrapped in red paper and placed under the pillow of the young child, so it is called "lucky money".

On this day, we eat glutinous rice balls (tangyuan) in the morning, which means reunion. Some families go vegetarian for one day as a whole.

The biggest characteristic of this day's custom is to let the household utensils "rest" for a day, that is, to let housewives have a rest. They do not sweep the floor, do not beg for fire (do not light fires or cigarettes to others), do not kill animals, Don’t use knives or scissors, empty the toilet, wash clothes, beat or scold children, or say unlucky words. Don't say the word "morning" when meeting in the morning, as this will attract a lot of "fleas" this year.

If you stumble while walking, you should immediately say: "Oh, the ingot fell." That night, go to sleep before falling asleep, and do not light the lamp, because lighting the lamp will attract more mosquitoes and flies this year.

Before going to bed, play the "Closing Cannon". Not going out at night is commonly known as "Peaceful Night".

The aunts and girls are the most important thing, and they entertain each other with banquets, which are called "Sui rice" and "Sui wine". The fifth day of the lunar month is the day of the God of Wealth. This is the most important day for businessmen. Only after "inviting the God of Wealth" do they open their doors for business, which is called "opening the market".

Some Buddhist believers walk on seven bridges on the seventh night of the Lunar New Year without looking back. They visit eight temples on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "walking on seven bridges" or "worshiping eight temples". During this period, folk entertainment activities include dragon lantern dance, marquee lanterns, big-headed monks, etc.

Something slightly different from other places is the "pretend to sweep the floor", that is, a beggar (called a "rich man" at this time) carries a basket on his back, holds a broom with red balls in his hand, pretends to sweep the floor, and chants slang. Song: "Pick up the golden broom, and Sweep (onomatopoeia). Sweep it to the east, and there will be a green dragon in the boss's house. The green dragon will be in the rice vat, and the yellow dragon will be in the barn. Sweep it to the south, and you will get rich in the boss's house. The big ingot is used to carry baskets, and the small ingot is used to carry boats."

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, customs such as New Year greetings remained unchanged, and most of the superstitious colors disappeared. Government agencies and organizations held group visits, carried out activities to support the military, give priority to their families, support the government and love the people, and express condolences to veteran cadres, veteran workers, veteran teachers, veteran scientific and technical personnel, elderly people in nursing homes and employees who continued to produce and work during the Spring Festival.

When acquaintances meet on the road, they exchange hands or shake hands and wish each other good luck. 4. What are the customs of the New Year in Quzhou and what is their significance

Zongzi in Quzhou is not only a must-have for the Dragon Boat Festival, but also a regular preparation for the New Year. There are slight differences in different places. People in Longyou like to make cakes, people in Jiangshan like zongzi, and people in Changshan like to make noodles. The New Year's Eve watch is an important part, and firecrackers are usually not set off until 12 o'clock to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year! New Year's money is still an indispensable favorite of children.

In addition to watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival, dragon lanterns are usually played.

What we want to make during Qingming Festival is Qingmingguo, a small round cake made of rice flour. Tombs must be swept during this festival, and there are three days before and seven days after.

In addition to rice dumplings, sweet fermented glutinous rice is the main drink of this festival. There are also snacks such as tea and snacks, and there are many varieties.

In some rural areas, they make Beijing dumplings (locally called Beijing dumplings). Different places have different dishes. To celebrate the Dharma, you must sweep the graves during the half of July (Hungry Ghost Festival).

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes are the most important food. In Quzhou, Cantonese-style mooncakes were not originally popular. In the rural areas of Quzhou, there is still a folk custom of baking Soviet-style mooncakes and Anhui-style mooncakes. Among them, Du Ze Osmanthus mooncakes are the most distinctive. They are hollow mooncakes. However, with the development of the times and the integration of local flavors, local folk customs are slowly being diluted!

During the Double Ninth Festival, many people in the state have to climb high, so mountain climbing is naturally indispensable. Drinking is also a part of it, and the making of mochi in various places may be related to the autumn harvest.

The Winter Solstice is a very important festival in Quzhou. Old Quzhou people have a saying that "the Winter Solstice is as big as the New Year" or "the Winter Solstice is as good as the New Year". On this day, there is also a saying that "some people eat all night, but no one eats it all night". Eat frozen overnight" as the saying goes.

In addition, Jiangshan has a special Mochi Festival to celebrate the harvest of the year. This festival is similar to a temple fair and lasts for nearly a month. The God of Grains and the City God are carried around from the county seat to various villages. .

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, temple fairs begin in rural areas of Quzhou. People in Quzhou commonly call it "rushing the fair."

During the Chinese Mochi Festival, every household makes rice dumplings and uses Qingming fruit to receive guests. Wherever the temple fair is, it is lively and there is plenty to eat. This has also attracted many merchants specializing in the festival.

Compared with other regions, the winter solstice is unique. It is very important. Just like the Chinese New Year, "Some people eat it all night, and some people eat it and freeze it all night." 5. Please write an essay on the customs of the Spring Festival in Zhejiang ( 600 words)

In the old days, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God was sent to heaven, and every household began a general cleaning, washing cooking utensils and taking out tents and quilts, which was called "sweeping soot". Then the New Year pigs and New Year chickens are killed (the word "kill" was taboo in the old days and changed to "prosperous"), rice dumplings are made, rice cakes and rice cakes are prepared to prepare New Year goods.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, pig heads, chickens, tofu rice, wine, etc. are used to worship ancestors and "social ministers" and "social mothers", which is called "thank you for the new year" or "say goodbye to the new year". The New Year's Eve dinner is rich in dishes, and fish must be prepared, which means there will be more than enough every year.

After the meal, parents distribute "New Year's money" to their children. It was that night, so we stayed up all night, and the whole family "watched the New Year's Eve", which is called "sitting on New Year's Eve".

Before liberation, creditors often came to collect debts with lanterns in hand at this night, and poor people often went out to hide from debts, which was commonly known as "being an emperor." Eating noodles or rice cakes for breakfast on the first day of the first lunar month symbolizes longevity and prosperity every year.

Starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, relatives and friends pay New Year greetings to each other. The gifts (commonly known as fruit bags) are usually lychees, longans, brown sugar, dates, etc. New Year greeting activities often last throughout the first month.

After liberation, some superstitious activities during the Chinese New Year were abolished and replaced by activities such as "supporting the army and giving priority to their families", "supporting the government and loving the people", and "New Year Tea Party". Since the 1980s, most people have used Jiangshan Baimao Silky Chicken Wine, Shiquan Dabu Wine, Shuangbaosu, etc. as New Year gifts.

The custom of the beginning of spring is that "the new year is as big as the new year". In the old days, people used rice, tofu and other sacrifices to worship the heaven and earth, which was called the New Year, which was called "welcoming the spring and receiving blessings."

The fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the Lantern Festival, also called the Lantern Festival. In the old days, the Lantern Festival activities started with "lighting up the lanterns" on the 15th, and lanterns or various lanterns were hung in front of every house.

On the 15th, lantern festivals and lantern dancing activities are held in towns and cities. There are dragon lanterns, lion lanterns, fish lanterns, horse lanterns, tea lanterns, etc.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, the lanterns are turned off and all kinds of activities are basically over. As the saying goes: "After the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the dragon ascends to the sky, the Buddha returns to the temple, Nani (the girl) makes flower threads, the old woman takes apart the torn pieces (to mend quilts and clothes), and the students return to the academy."

After liberation, The Lantern Festival lantern dance activities were replaced by other cultural activities. It gradually recovered after 1797. 6. An essay on the customs of the Spring Festival in Zhejiang
