My hometown is in Pucheng, which is a very small county, but just so, the people of Pucheng have always revered the traditional Chinese folklore, which shows everyone's respect for their ancestors.

Then I'll start with the Spring Festival! On New Year's Eve, families start eating New Year's Eve dinner at 3:00 p.m., and "egg rolls" are an essential dish, which is golden in color, symbolizing that families are prosperous every year and that children are able to honor their elders. After dinner, we never go out, and my grandmother says, "If we do, it will take away everyone's good luck." Although we could not go out, but at home, we could not go out, but at home, we were still able to play colorful. Adults play cards all night at home, and kids set off fireworks with vigor! This means that everyone's good luck every year, fortune every year ......

After New Year's Eve, the first day of the first month of the new year in exchange is also very popular Oh! Wake up in the morning, wash up after the first drink of "osmanthus honey", which is our children's favorite, the taste of sweet, fragrant ...... This means that I hope that everyone's days are red-hot, sweet and beautiful ... ...

After eating the meal to the elders to pay tribute to the New Year, the elders will have to pack the New Year's money, the children to get the New Year's money can be happy, but the first to the third is not allowed to spend money, which in turn represents the adults in the year is very difficult to earn money, luck is not good ...... to pay tribute to the elders! After the New Year, the girl at home to help their parents work, the boy followed the adults to go to their respective relatives and friends home to pay tribute to the New Year, everyone had a very happy.

And on the fourth day of the first month, the whole family should go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense, to the bodhisattva, so that the bodhisattva blessed the children and grandchildren, children and daughters of the life is more happy and fulfilling ...... After the sixth day of the first month, everyone will be everything back to normal, the adults work on the continue to work, the children to go to review their homework, to meet the arrival of a new semester!

This is the first time I've ever seen a Chinese New Year in my life.

My hometown is in the beautiful Three Rivers Plain ---- Chaoshan. Chaoshan three sides of the back of the mountains, one side of the sea, located in a unique, since the Tang Dynasty, talented people, humanities thick, Song "before the seven sages" Ming "after eight Jun", and therefore Chaoshan is known as the "seaside Zulu "
As the saying goes, "where there is tide, there are Chaoshan people", the Chaoshan language as a cultural carrier, inherited and inherited the traditional culture of the Chaoshan region for thousands of years, and passed from generation to generation, creating a unique side of the Chaoshan style. Such as Chao music and Chao opera. Chaozhou Opera is one of the ten major Chinese opera genres and one of the three major opera genres in Guangdong, and has the reputation of being the "Wonderful Beauty of the South". As a unique local cultural theater, Chiu Chow opera is performed in Shantou dialect.

As another typical representative of the traditional culture of Chaoshan, Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea is the most representative of China's ancient tea culture of tea ceremony, for the tea utensils, water, steeping and brewing method are very careful, with its own set of strict procedures, so it is said: Kung Fu Tea. Kung Fu tea steps are mainly tea, waiting for the soup, tea, scraping foam, pouring cans, scalding cups, sprinkle tea, tea, tea and tea tasting. In our hometown, every family has a tea set, and when guests go to the door, they have to meet them with tea. Kung Fu tea is not only tea, but also a party flavor, a culture. Drinking tea, tasting is a humane world, the so-called "tea thin humane thick".

In my hometown in Chaoshan, especially in the rural areas of Chaoshan, to the time of agricultural activities, in order to worship the gods, praying for blessings of the gods, there will be singing and dancing performances; during the Chinese New Year tour of the gods, after the autumn harvest celebrations or rituals folk activities, my hometown also retained the English song and dance this kind of program. Nowadays, it has changed from a ritual of praying to the gods for blessings to a celebration of joyful events. This kind of make-up song and dance performance called "Ying Ge" has been very popular among the local people. Chaoshan Yingge Dance is a form of folk dance that makes both the dancers and the spectators tremble with excitement. The saying "the gongs and drums are ringing, the heart is shallow" depicts the kind of lively scene brought by the Yingge Dance: when the gongs and drums of the Yingge Dance are ringing, the audience will be like a tide, as if a big colorful cloud is floating and moving. The dancers are sometimes as steady as Mount Tai, sometimes like silver snakes, sometimes like eagles spreading their wings, and sometimes like tigers descending from the mountain. The clanging gongs and drums, the appealing conch horn and the dancers' yells rise and fall one after another, shaking the earth and rushing up to the blue sky. This harmonious dance and drums make up a beautiful scenery of Chaoshan culture.

As an integral part of Lingnan culture, Chaoshan food culture is rich and varied, and is famous in Guangdong and the whole country. Its formation is not only influenced by history and culture, but also inextricably linked with the unique geographical environment. The Chaoshan people have unique food customs, such as porridge, a wide variety of food made of rice flour, pickles and preserved vegetables, as well as delicately prepared snacks (oyster rolls, meatballs, etc.). Besides these daily food customs, there are also many unique festival food customs in Chaoshan. On the seventh day of the first month of the year, the old custom in Chaoshan is to eat seven kinds of dishes, also called seven soup. The so-called seven kinds of vegetables is the big mustard, thick petals of vegetables, celery, garlic, spring celery, leeks, mustard, these seven kinds of vegetables are put together to cook to eat, it means "to make a big fortune, people long". In addition, the significance of seven kinds of vegetables is that the seven vitamin-rich vegetables, for the New Year period a large number of people eating meat, as if the body of the scavenger, can play a digestive appetizer, intestinal laxative effect. The custom of eating zongzi on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is passed down from the Central Plains. This day, chaoshan people generally eat zongzi, gardenia zongzi, some places also eat cold powder zongzi, chaozhou phoenix mountain is used to eat "pillow zongzi". In addition to eat zongzi, many places in chaoshan also use stretching bone section, make gentleman leaf, real pearl cauliflower, egg, pork and so on cook soup to eat, can play the role of bright eyesight, go to the heat and poison, drive abdominal worm. Mid-Autumn Festival in Chaoshan all over the custom of mid-autumn moon worship, there are "men do not full moon, women do not sacrifice stove" proverb.

In the evening, the moon rises, women will set up in the yard, the balcony when the sky prayer worship. Silver candles are lit high, the smoke lingers, and the table is full of fruits and cakes as a gift. The specialty of the festival is taro. There is a proverb in Chaoshan: "Hexi to the mouth, taro food to". In August, it is the harvest time of taro, farmers are used to worship their ancestors with taro. In addition there are taro processed into the snow like ice, the view is pleasing to the eye, eat the crispy even the tongue are swallowed over the sand taro. One of the specialties of the Winter Solstice Festival is the Winter Festival Round, which is very delicate, usually made a few days before the Winter Solstice, and should be pinched to different sizes, named "Gongsun, father and son round" to imply that the meaning of the family reunion of all sizes. After worshipping the gods, the family around the table and eat dumplings, Chaoshan folk have this saying, that is: eat the winter festival pills, will be considered a year old.

Hometown style culture is diverse, and unique, I am y in love with this hot land, in love with the endless "style culture", love deep, welcome more friends to my hometown travel as a guest. Especially "foodie" you can not miss oh, look forward to you ---- Chaoshan people welcome you!

Since childhood, I would sing this rhyme "rows of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers", "the street of flowers".

No matter which flower market, it was crowded and joyful. People are wearing joyful smiles on their faces, as if the joy and happiness of the year are written on their faces. Everyone hand holding the just selected "favorite" flowers, while shopping, while chatting with companions. The colorful flowers on the streets of the city of flowers also seemed to be as happy as the people, talking about the harvest and happiness of the year, and looking forward to a beautiful vision!
