Part 1: "Zhuang customs" in my hometown, 650 words

My hometown is in Guangxi. There are various ethnic groups living in Guangxi, including the Zhuang ethnic group. I am a Zhuang ethnic group. People.

Folklore, this word has been with us since birth. We always live in folklore.

Festivals occur every month and every year, but each ethnic group has its own way of celebrating. During the Spring Festival, people in Jiangsu value rice cakes, people in Beijing value dumplings, and we Zhuang people in Guangxi value rice dumplings. I heard from my grandma that we Zhuang people should eat rice dumplings with the whole family during the New Year. It would be lively. Unfortunately, that is soon a thing of the past. Because living standards have improved and everyone is busy, we rarely get together. ah! Thinking of the rice dumplings made by my grandma and grandpa, they are so fragrant that my mouth is watering!

During the Spring Festival, children in Donglan County have to climb pillars as soon as they get up on the first day of the new year. While climbing, they chant, "As long as bamboo shoots and as tall as a big tree." Some children in other places climb Banana tree. Everyone hopes that we will grow up quickly!

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Han people row dragon boats, while the Zhuang people gather medicine. Because it is said that the medicine is most effective when collected on this day. Boil the potion of hundreds of herbs and bathe the body, which can eliminate all kinds of diseases. In Jingxi County, where I was born, pumpkins, plum fruits, plantains, and corn were sent into the mountains to feed monkeys, creating a harmonious world between humans and wild animals. We also made monkey-shaped toys for children to play with. Oh! I also wanted to go collect medicine and feed the monkeys, but the adults said that the mountain road was difficult and dangerous, and they refused to let me go, so I didn't go.

In the past, our Zhuang people had a folk custom, which was to consciously build roads and raise funds to build ferries to facilitate pedestrians. This was called "Yin Gong Road" and "Yin Gong Boat", but for some reason, it is rarely seen now. See you.

You see, the folk customs of Zhuang people are so interesting. In my opinion, they all inherit the characteristics of national culture.

Decades later, they still couldn't speak every day.

However, things have changed since my grandfather fell ill...

Li Shangyin once wrote a poem: "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's just near dusk." I admire his insight and can actually appreciate such a beautiful scenery. . However, the old couple supporting each other under the sunset in their hometown is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

I still remember that in my childhood, my grandparents were very incompatible with each other, and they were busy working on their own. I teased them for several years, and I don’t know why. I didn’t understand until today.

In the past, I always stared blankly at the two figures, one tall and one short, in the sunset. When eating, grandma always calls grandpa to eat, but grandpa always ignores her. Then grandma gets angry, and I always enjoy it secretly.

Time passed quickly, and grandparents hurried past without paying attention to each other.

From then on, the talkative and laughing grandma followed the taciturn grandpa. Decades later, they still couldn't speak every day. However, things have changed since grandpa fell ill.

Grandpa’s illness was incurable at that time, but no one gave up, especially grandma. Every night, we take turns taking care of her, but I always see grandma busy, taking care of her, sighing, and being in a daze. I felt unspeakable grief at that time. Finally, a miracle happened and grandpa came to life.

In those days, I often saw grandma walking towards grandpa with brewed milk in the afterglow of the setting sun. The afterglow merged the figures of grandpa and grandma into one, and I couldn’t tell which one was grandpa. , which is grandma. "Drink it quickly, don't let it get cold." For the first time, Grandpa took the bowl from Grandma's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's a blessing in disguise." Grandpa and grandma cherish each other's days now. Their figures in tandem under the sunset are like ancient paintings from hundreds of years ago frozen in the afterglow. This is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my hometown!

The scenery is particularly memorable because of its true feelings!
