The long historical years have made the content of the annual custom activities extremely colorful. Among them, the superstitious content of offering sacrifices to heaven and gods has been gradually eliminated, while those interesting contents, such as posting Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, pasting the word "Fu", cutting window grilles, steaming rice cakes, wrapping jiaozi, setting off firecrackers, vigil on New Year's Eve and paying New Year's greetings, are still very popular today.

Stick paper-cuts on the windows.

During the Spring Festival, people in many areas like to stick various paper-cut window grilles on their windows. Window grilles can not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also bring people beautiful enjoyment, integrating decoration, appreciation and practicality. Paper-cutting is a very popular folk art, which has been deeply loved by people for thousands of years. Because it is often pasted on windows, people generally call it "window grilles". Window grilles are rich in content and wide in subject matter. Because the buyers of window grilles are mostly farmers, window grilles have quite a lot of content to express farmers' lives, such as farming, weaving, fishing, herding sheep, raising pigs and chickens. In addition, there are myths and legends, drama stories and other themes. In addition, the images of flowers and birds, insects and fish, and the zodiac are also very common. With its unique generalization and exaggeration, window grilles show auspicious things and good wishes incisively and vividly, and decorate festivals with prosperity and celebration.

Pay new year's call

New Year greeting is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and greeting their lives. In case of friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate. New Year greetings usually begin at home. On the morning of the first day, after getting up, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders, wishing them a long and healthy life and all the best. After the elders worship, they should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. After paying New Year greetings to the elders at home, people should greet each other with smiles when they go out to meet, and exchange auspicious words such as "Congratulations on getting rich", "Best wishes in the four seasons" and "Happy New Year". Neighbors or relatives and friends also pay New Year greetings to each other or treat them to drinks and entertainment.

The Spring Festival, the Lunar New Year, is the grandest, most lively and most important ancient traditional festival in China. In Linquan area, the traditional Spring Festival refers to the sacrificial ceremony from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th of the first lunar month in La Worship, among which New Year's Eve is the most lively and grand.

I. Traditional crafts and customs

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month

There is a saying in the countryside: "Eat laba rice, and next year will do." The so-called "laba rice" is a kind of porridge, so "laba rice" is also called "Laba porridge". The production is very simple, that is, the whole grains are cooked together, indicating that the Spring Festival is coming, which means; There will be a bumper harvest of grain in the coming year. After Laba, the flavor of the year is getting stronger.

Sacrifice to the kitchen god

The so-called "kitchen sacrifice" means the kitchen god and the kitchen god. As the saying goes, "the monarch sacrifices three, the minister sacrifices four, the turtle sacrifices five, and the turtle sacrifices six." Therefore, the sacrificial furnace in Linquan area is on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the tribute of the sacrificial furnace is the main meal of the day, supplemented by necessary sugar and candied dates. The cooktop in rural areas is called "ground pot" and the cooktop is called "pot table". After cooking dinner, the host must first put a portion on the lid of the pot, and then put the sugar and candied dates prepared in advance. It is said that Kitchen God was sent by the Jade Emperor.

Each family is responsible for monitoring. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, he will report the achievements of this family to heaven. Giving him sugar and candied dates can make his mouth sweet, and only put in a good word in front of the Jade Emperor to ensure wealth and peace in the coming year. Everyone in the family is not allowed to touch the food given to Kitchen God, and can only eat it after dinner. If children eat it secretly, they will be reprimanded by adults.

Some people will worship the kitchen god on the stove. Generally, there will be couplets on both sides of the kitchen god: "God speaks well, and the next world is safe", and the horizontal approval is "the head of the family". On this day, every household lit a pile of incense in front of the door, and the air was filled with thick fragrance. Since then, firecrackers have continued. From time to time, fireworks from other families cut through the night sky, blooming colorful light in the air, which attracted children to burst into laughter.

This paper introduces the folk culture of my hometown, qingzhen city, from two aspects of "flavor snacks" and "ethnic customs", hoping that more people can know my hometown and spread it widely through detailed description.

Key words:

Hometown, folk culture, flavor snacks, ethnic customs

Folk culture in hometown

My hometown Qingzhen has a long history and is an ancient city with profound cultural heritage. According to historical records, Qingzhen County was the land of Songhu and Yelang in ancient times, and it belonged to Manzhou and Qingzhou in Tang and Song Dynasties. Next, I will talk about the folk culture of my hometown qingzhen city from two aspects: "flavor snacks" and "ethnic customs".

First, Qingzhen flavor snacks

(1) Liu Menstruation

Liu Yuexiang is a famous trademark of qingzhen city and a famous snack with a history of hundreds of years. Ba Huang, also known as yellow cake, is mainly composed of glutinous rice, glutinous rice, soybeans, sugar and other raw materials. Since 20xx, Liu Menjing Food Factory has innovated and improved the traditional products, adding five kernels, waxy corn and fresh meat while maintaining the original waxy flavor. Now there are six varieties of glutinous rice, millet, corn, five kernels, buckwheat, eight treasures, fresh meat, bacon, black glutinous rice and bamboo leaves.

When it comes to the origin of Ba Huang, there is a little story that is difficult to verify. During the Three Kingdoms period, Guizhou was called Yelang. It is said that Zhuge Liang was leading an army to Meng Huo at that time, fighting against the cave master of Guizhou in Yelang country. One day, while the Shu army was cooking, suddenly a spy came to report that a barbarian soldier had come in. Hearing this, Zhuge Liang ordered to go into battle, and beat back the troops of Guizhou cave owners in a few times. I don't know what this Zhuge strategist means, so I ordered the army to pursue the barbarian army for hundreds of miles. I'm worried about the firemen in this army. I've been waiting for the troops to come back, but this boiled bean juice and rice can't be wasted. I didn't bring much food and grass. What should I do? ZhuGeShiJun a look at this situation, life

Sergeant Huotou mixed the unused bean juice with rice, put it in a big wooden retort and cooked it with fire to prevent it from going bad. When the soldiers returned to the camp, the bean sauce bibimbap had been cooked for nearly two days, and the tired and hungry soldiers quickly shared it. Unexpectedly, this rice has turned into another appearance, not only yellow in color, but also sweet and soft in taste and more delicious. After three or two strokes, all the food was eaten up, and the locals also imitated this technique. A few generations later, there was such a snack in Guizhou-Ba Huang.

(2) Mutton powder

Here mainly refers to the local Hui people's eating methods, stalls, mainly clear soup mutton powder, without adding a little pepper, delicious, but the fried pepper used for serving is very spicy. Ordinary foreigners can't stand eating a small red pepper, while locals have to eat a plate. Qingzhen people who queue up to eat mutton powder every morning are mainly students.

(3) Sanjiao Garden Snack Street

Qingzhen city has a small population. At night, the triangle garden square in the city center is very lively. Food stalls are always in the middle of the road. There are all kinds of roast chicken, barbecue, potatoes, glutinous rice balls and ice powder. The crowd won't disperse until 4 am.

Second, national customs.

(1) Miao April 8th (Flower Jumping Field): Every year, on the eighth day of the first lunar month or the eighth day of April, thousands of Miao compatriots from all branches of Qingzhen gather on the grassy slope, playing lusheng, stepping on dance steps, singing and dancing. In addition to the Miao youth dancing, there are also local opera performances and duets on Huapo, which is a festival of national gathering.

(2) June 6th of the Buyi people: The sixth day of the sixth lunar month is a traditional festival for Buyi compatriots. On this day, Buyi compatriots will wear festive costumes, and everyone will get together to show their customs in the form of songs and dances. At the same time, Buyi girls will sing a beautiful "toast song". Please taste the rice wine they brewed.

(3) Torch Festival of the Yi people: The traditional festival of the Yi people in Qingzhen is mainly the Torch Festival on June 24th of the lunar calendar. Day and night, men and women, old and young, holding firewood, pine branches, dried bamboo and other torches, marched in villages and fields, took bazi as a sacrificial ground, piled up pagoda-shaped torches, chose a pine pillar to stand in the middle, lit it, and the whole people sang and danced all night. During the festival, pigs and sheep are sacrificed to God.

(4) Eating New Year Festival of the Gelao people: "Eating New Year Festival" is one of the most exquisite festivals of the Gelao people. Every year on the Dragon Day in July or the Snake Day in August of the lunar calendar, when the new grain is about to be harvested, the ears of the grain are picked, fried at home, shelled into rice, and cooked into rice, which is given to the ancestors and the grain god at the same time. Every festival, local theatrical troupes will also be invited to sing local dramas to bid farewell to ancestors and valley gods.

I also investigated our traditional festivals with my friends and recorded them.

When investigating the cultural customs of Zhoukou during the Spring Festival, we adopted the method of "countryside first, then city". During this period, we found that the Chinese New Year custom in rural areas is actually similar to that in cities. Chinese New Year pays attention to excitement and celebration, and there are many customs.

There are folk songs about the custom of Chinese New Year: twenty-three, a small year; Twenty-four, sweeping the house; Twenty-five, frozen tofu; Twenty-six, go to buy meat; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eight, send face; Twenty-nine, steamed bread; Stay up for 30 nights; initial

First, the second day of wandering.

Small-year sacrificial furnace

On the 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month, after the off-year, the stove was sacrificed. During the Spring Festival, we will offer sacrifices to the kitchen stove-I hope the Kitchen God will keep the whole family safe. Small food such as kwantung sugar is used when offering sacrifices to the stove, which is made of colloidal maltose and is sweet and slightly sour. sweep the dust

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the dust blows, which is intended to sweep away all bad luck and bad luck. Clean the room inside and out before the new year. This is the biggest cleaning in a year. It is also called saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and thoroughly cleaning and painting to welcome the new year.

Preparations for the Spring Festival

Steamed steamed buns: In the old society, there were not enough pots to cook for guests during the New Year, so it was necessary to steam several pots of steamed buns in advance, which was also used for ancestor worship during the New Year. Twenty-eight handfuls of flour and twenty-nine steamed buns mean this, also called twenty-nine handfuls of oil, which means using oil as food.

Buy new year's goods: buy spring festival supplies, such as how many bowls and chopsticks have been added at home, so for the prosperity of the population, you should buy a few every spring festival; Buy new clothes for children to celebrate; Gifts for visiting elders during the Spring Festival.

paste up Spring Festival couplets

Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, couplets and peach symbols. 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. The time for posting Spring Festival couplets is not fixed, usually on the morning of the 29th and 30th.

Stick grilles, hang New Year pictures.

Window grilles not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also integrate decoration, appreciation and practicality. Paper-cutting is a very popular folk art in China, which has been loved by people for thousands of years. Because it is often pasted on the window, it is also called "window grilles".

There are still some places in the countryside that like to elaborate the word "Fu" into various patterns, such as Shoutao, Carp yue longmen, Harvest of Grains, Dragon and Phoenix, etc. In the past, there was a folk saying that "on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every family wrote big characters", and the word "Fu" was written. The word "fu" used to be handwritten. Now it is sold in markets and shops.

Please god of wealth

In order to make more money in the coming year, every family will invite the god of wealth during the Spring Festival, and some will send it home, saying that they will spend money to buy it, but they must never say that they will buy it.

Sacrifice to gods and ancestors

During the Spring Festival, we usually use cakes to worship gods and ancestors, including honey and fruit, which are not only the food of Manchu and Mongolian ethnic minorities in our region. We also have the custom of eating fish on New Year's Eve. Fish must be carp, originally named as offering sacrifices to gods, and later associated with "auspicious celebration is more than enough" and "more than enough every year". Fish is both delicious and sacrificial. It is also important to worship ancestors. Those who carry on the family line must offer rich sacrifices and incense to their ancestors. Men in the whole family should worship, and some burn paper to "money" to worship their ancestors on New Year's Eve. Ancestor worship usually ends on the third day. Shou Sui and "New Year's Eve"

We have the habit of observing the New Year's Eve there. Watching the New Year begins with the New Year's Eve, and we should eat slowly. From the time when lanterns are lit, some families have to eat until late at night. The dishes must include fish (more than one year) and chicken (good luck), and the rest as you like. On this night of "two years old in one night, two years old in class five", families get together and get together.

The staple food is jiaozi, and jiaozi talks a lot, and pork and celery are the best. Choose two jiaozi, one coin and one sugar, and see who can eat. Whoever eats it will wish the next year wealth and happiness. In fact, this blessing is very good, and whoever eats it will be convinced by his family. Jiaozi cooked it and threw it out of the first few pots soaked in water. It is said to commemorate the ghosts of the past.

The family sat together and the table was full of tea and fruit. During the Spring Festival, a large plate of apples is indispensable, called "Ping An". Many candies, dried fruits, melon seeds and "sage" will be prepared during the Spring Festival. The so-called "assorted fruit" is the present assorted preserved fruit. These snacks are delicious food for people to sit around the fire and enjoy their old age. Setting off firecrackers

Fireworks and firecrackers should be set off before the New Year's Eve dinner is ready, which is a favorite program for children. In fact, there are usually two fireworks during the Spring Festival, New Year's Eve and midnight snack, and there are also many firecrackers, before dinner on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, before dinner on New Year's Eve, and on Fridays.

Don't sweep the floor the first day and the second day.

New Year's Eve

First, on the second day of junior high school, Xiaogan people don't sweep the floor, carry water or make a fire. The meals are all prepared in advance, which is called "lucky money". I didn't start carrying water until the third day. On the morning of the first day of junior high school, we all have to get up early there. After getting up, we will set off firecrackers, burn incense, have dinner and pay a New Year call.

Pay new year's call

On the morning of New Year's Day, children should pay New Year greetings to their elders, parents, grandparents and uncles. Under normal circumstances, the elderly at home should kowtow to the elderly. Then adults prepare red envelopes, and adults should also pay New Year greetings to their parents, wishing the elderly a long and healthy life. Then, from the morning of the first day of junior high school, it is necessary to bring gifts to relatives and friends, and so on. It takes many days to go door to door to pay New Year greetings. Generally, married men and their families will go to their parents' home for the New Year on New Year's Eve and the first day of the year, and visit their father-in-law's home on the second day. There is also a saying that "I don't go out on the first day, I worship my family on the second day and my husband on the third day."

Visit relatives

From the second day of junior high school, everyone will visit relatives and friends. On the second day of junior high school, a nephew in our family was going to pay a New Year call to my uncle. My uncle speaks with great authority there, so everyone should pay a New Year call to my uncle. On the third day, the girl went back to her parents' home. Everyone will take a lot of things to their parents' home for the New Year. On the fourth day, I will go to menstruation's or menstruation's. "Breaking Five" eats jiaozi and eats noodles

"Breaking Five" is also the fifth day. Eating jiaozi on the fifth day of the fifth month has implications, and people expect good luck and happiness. Since the early hours of the morning, every household has set off firecrackers, especially "kicking two feet", which is called "collapse of poverty", "unlucky" and "poor gas" leaving home to collapse. Eating noodles is to make up for all the bad things of last year and leave the bad things of last year in this year. The sixth day of the first month is the birthday of the God of Wealth.

The sixth day of the first month has been a distinctive Chinese New Year custom since ancient times, which means offering sacrifices to the poor. As early as the Song Dynasty, the custom of sending the poor was quite common. After the Song Dynasty, the custom of sending the poor still prevailed. On the morning of the sixth day of the first month, everyone gets up earlier, because the sixth day of the first month is a good day to rob money. In order to make business prosperous and earn more money this year, everyone got up early.

The ninth day of the first month is God's birthday.

On this day, everyone also attaches great importance to it. Burn incense after getting up and washing, and pray that God will bless the whole family with peace, happiness, health and happiness in the new year.

From the first day of September to the Lantern Festival. Everyone seems to have nothing important to do, just eat, drink and visit relatives. the Lantern Festival

On the Lantern Festival, every household makes a surface lamp, which is shaped like a bowl, commonly known as a lamp bowl. Corn flour is called golden lamp, white flour is called silver lamp, and buckwheat flour is called iron lamp. After molding, put it in a pot and steam it, and then insert a wick made of reed wrapped in cotton wool. Fill the bowl with lamp oil and the lamp will be ready. Then send these lamps to the ancestral board, the ceiling board and the soap king board in turn, and send them to the warehouse, the cowshed, the well platform, the mill and so on. , walked to the gate and crossroads. On the Lantern Festival, everyone likes to set off fireworks and eat Yuanxiao. Eating Yuanxiao represents reunion.

Then the lanterns will be sent to the cemetery and placed on the graves of every deceased relative. Nowadays, red candles are mostly used to replace the original surface lamps and oil lamps. Red candles represent happiness. When it's just dark, the men at home go to their ancestors' graves with lights and paper, burn paper for them, light candles at the door, that is, send lights, and then light a lamp when they meet a crossroads on their way home. The woman gave the stove, pigsty, wellhead, granary and corral at home. Moreover, the focus of the family is the zodiac at home to show the peace of the family. As for the different meanings of sending lanterns, there are different legends. One theory is that lanterns are sent to illuminate ancestors to catch lice, and lanterns are sent at intersections to let ancestors go home to save energy and find their way home. Of course, sending lanterns also means sending Ding. I hope ancestors can bless their families and make their children prosperous. But! Now life is changing and many customs have been forgotten. Only some elderly adults can remember.

Practice summary: During the Spring Festival, all parts of the country have their own regional colors, except for some similar customs. For example, our Spring Festival custom, like many northern regions, retains some ancient customs. In recent years, our Chinese New Year customs and culture are slowly changing. Some subtle changes have gradually diluted our Spring Festival culture. There are many arguments about traditional folk customs in society. Some people think that we should change our customs and keep pace with the times. However, opponents believe that if the previous customs are changed, festivals will not be like festivals, which is not conducive to the inheritance and development of traditional culture. Some people have suggested that if we don't set off firecrackers, will the Chinese New Year still be like the Chinese New Year? Because of this, some cities have changed the ban on setting off fireworks into a conditional ban.

Because of the different values and preferences, we should analyze specific things in detail. We might as well adopt an inclusive attitude towards traditional customs and allow everyone to keep their own views and practices. With the development of society, when most people's understanding tends to be consistent, it is natural to keep pace with the times. If we pursue the so-called new policies and new concepts on the basis of ideals regardless of reality and people's psychology, we will be resisted by the masses. The form and content of our traditional customs will change with time, so we can only follow the trend and follow the trend. ...
