Memory of the flavor of the New Year prose
The flavor of the year is the joyful atmosphere of the family reunion; it is the filial piety of the younger generation to elders sitting around the table to the cup of wine; it is the fireworks outside the house flashing into the nose of a fragrance; the following is my compilation of memories of the flavor of the year prose, welcome to read.
In my memory, the annual Spring Festival is the best expectation of my childhood.
Because the expectation is too strong, it will feel like the year is so long.
Because the anticipation is so strong, it will feel like a year is so long.
At that time, the global climate was not yet warming. Most of the time, the Spring Festival is combined with ice and snow, cold wind and snowflakes. And these years, the mine is at most under the rain. That pattering rain, which has a New Year's flavor with the fluttering snowflakes?
The most can reflect the "flavor of the year", or follow the adults to buy new year's goods. I'm a big fan of the good-looking New Year's paintings. I'm not talking about the traditional ones that are printed on the wall, but the ones that have a story to tell, which are only found in the countryside.
I can't remember whether it was at my grandfather's house or my grandpa's house, but I saw a set of "Night Battle of Ma Chao" New Year's Paintings, which had several large sheets, just like an enlarged comic book, and the story was already very complete. This kind of set of New Year's paintings, I have also seen in a restaurant, the restaurant's left and right walls are pasted with the "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the story of the Twelve Haircuts of the Golden Haircuts, each beauty is also equipped with their verdict, the painting may not be well done, but with the color of the ancient and simple, in those days is also very attractive to the eye.
Then, there are the New Year's paintings of door gods. This kind of New Year's paintings, almost every family in the countryside to hang. As I got older, I learned to recognize the identities of the generals from the weapons they wielded and the colors of their clothes. The Chinese New Year paintings are the most affordable way to learn about these historical figures and the folklore of the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that every door god is a legend, and every New Year's picture has a story.
As food is the most important thing in life, it is only natural that the flavor of Chinese New Year is also inseparable from food. To buy New Year's goods, the first task is to go to buy pork. Not picking fat and thin, every family is more than enough. As long as you go to the market a turn, you can see the pig sellers skillful, knife and axe, Bing ping pang a blunt sound, the whole piece of pork has been split into pieces; in addition to the ribs, big bones, the rest has been four square stacked in a large pot, look at the abundance of it, and then joyfully take home.
Pork was the most important meat dish in those days, bar none. Because the utilization of pork has reached zero waste. Lean meat is the most needed, do balls, dumplings, with fried vegetables, a variety of patterns; fat can not be less, to boil into lard, is the main cooking oil of the family year; bones are often a big pot of stew, and many people have to pickle up some of them in order to save; and even the meat skin is not wasted, deep-fried crispy to eat or used to do jelly to eat, is a very good wine dishes.
When the meat is cooked at the end of the year, the black iron pot is covered with a big black lid, and under the licking of the fire, steam gradually escapes between the cracks of the lid. Spices only put some fennel, star anise, water boiling meat when rolling, floating out of the meat not to mention around the beam for three days, is still recalled, is also a fresh memory, hooking people greedy.
For children, the most enjoyable part is the New Year's visit. Every time you arrive at a house, the parents will exchange a few pleasantries, and the host will give you a bowl of snacks. At that time, people are very simple, have the conditions is a bowl of boiled eggs, no conditions to the bowl of sugar soaked frozen rice, snacks are not expensive, the heart is full.
When I was a kid, I was especially good at eating, and if I accompanied my mom three times a morning, I could eat three bowls of food without blinking. Nowadays, the good man does not mention the courage of the year. Even in the face of a table full of delicacies, I have not moved chopsticks, already feel full.
The good life has spoiled our stomachs, we are more and more difficult to get satisfied, and have long lost the urge to "taste", and will never salivate at the New Year's Eve dinner. Perhaps this is the reason why people feel that the "flavor of the year" has become diluted.
Of course, Chinese people always have a kind of love for the year, and this love will not change because of social changes. The Spring Festival will always be the most important festival for Chinese people.
Writer Feng Jicai said: "The flavor of the year" is not a material abundance, but a cultural abundance. That is to say, the world is progressing, the society is progressing, "the flavor of the year" naturally should also be with the times. What we lack is not the feeling of "year", but the new way of "year" and the new carrier.
How to have a good year, cohesion of people's life, all the good wishes of life. In the New Year, life is idealized, and the ideal is also idealized by life, when life and ideal mixed together, there is the meaning of the year.
So, the "flavor of the year" is always there, but quietly changed the old look. People always say that the flavor of the year is light, in fact, light is not the "flavor of the year" but the "heart".
Once, it was hidden in the mother busy to do a New Year's Eve dinner; hidden in the late generation to honor the elders of the cup of wine; also hidden in the households are affixed to the festive couplets. Nowadays, it is hidden in the microblogging, WeChat, QQ red envelope; hidden in the leisurely mahjong, high-pitched K songs; also hidden in whether they know each other or not, meet to say that the New Year's blessing ......
2 memories of the New Year's prose"Children children you do not cry, after the Lahai on the killing of pigs, children Children you don't crave, after the Lunar New Year is the year". Looking forward, looking forward, the arrival of the New Year.
In Lunar New Year, killing the New Year's Eve pig is an exciting thing, set a good date early, and then asked a skilled pig killer, notified friends and relatives. An earthen stove was dug in the dam, and the best firewood was added to the hearth. Hot boiling water was churning in the cauldron, and the yard was thick with smoke and heat. The ear-splitting squeal of the big fat pig was accompanied by the "crackling" sound of the dry wood in the stove, spreading over the village, and everyone's face was filled with smiles, overflowing with happiness! Yes, after a year of hard work in the rain, wind and sun, the pig's fat body is undoubtedly a testimony and affirmation of the hard-working people. The master of the pig to pick some of the best meat to entertain friends and relatives, blood Want soup on the table exudes a boiling hot, sorghum wine has been poured, friends and relatives seated in a hall, rowing and guessing, laughing and drinking, drinking wine and pouring dry, one cup after another, drinking face red haze fly! Sent away relatives, the rest of the meat marinated, and then chopped up some meat, mixed with spices, filling a good sausage, waiting for the New Year's arrival.
This is the beginning of the new year. The first day of the year is the day of the festival, and it is also the day of the festival. I've been to the town for a long time to buy a good offering, and then branded some glutinous rice poop. Waiting for the dinner, the pots and stoves clean, face and hands clean, fill out the sacrificial stove Wenshu. Put the offerings on the stove, light a pair of candles, three sticks of incense, burn some paper, and pray with all sincerity, wishing that Zaowang Bodhisattva will say good things in heaven and bring good fortune down to the world! Speak much of the world's good, and do not speak of the world's evil! Don't expose the world's shortcomings, and promote the world's strengths. Make the world happy more often and hurt less. Bless the whole family with peace and safety, no sickness and no disaster! Where we worship stove is also called drilling stove, is the youngest child in the family to drill stove, before the young, adults always tease us that the day of drilling stove to drill in from the stove hole, and then climbed out of the chimney, we believe in the truth, and really towards the stove to stretch out the little head, sticking a face of pitch-black pot ash, like the commune auditorium at that time singing the clowns of the Chuan Opera, causing the adults to laugh. At night, the rich offerings on the stove seduced us can not sleep, a night of tossing and turning, the heart is thinking of the stove that offerings, just looking forward to the day soon, so that the mouth of the night as soon as possible to chew the sweet and savory flavor.
The next day is to play "Yang dust" days, playing Yang dust must look through the yellow calendar, pick a clean auspicious day, and then go to the bamboo forest to cut a long thin bamboo poles, the use of bamboo leaves tied into a simple broom, carefully whisked off the walls of the cobwebs and dust, but also climbed to the roof, the accumulation of dust in the chimney, clean up, combing and smooth. Dust cleaned up, combing smooth, so that the fire of the stove in the coming year more vigorous combustion! The family was very busy, polishing the windows, doors, furniture and utensils! In addition to cleaning the house, the silt accumulated in the sunny ditch should also be combed thoroughly with a hoe! In fact, when we polish the environment and decorate the exterior, we should wash our heart more, we should wash away our thoughts of greed, evil desire, killing, delusion and so on, so that our heart will be more pure! This way luck will also follow you.
The footsteps of the New Year are getting closer and closer, and the wanderers have been rushing back to their hometowns from thousands of miles away! More people rushed to the market, the town bustled up, more noisy, carrying the collection of New Year's goods crowded in the head of the crowd. Cigarettes must buy a good cigarette, wine is also the top sorghum wine, firecrackers to be the loudest, children's snacks are also prepared, new clothes are also done, everything is ready, just waiting, looking forward to the arrival of the New Year!
Today is New Year's Eve, the end of the year. The adults got up early, grabbed the rooster in the cage, and sharpened the kitchen knife. New Year's Eve to kill the chicken is also to pay attention to the auspicious! You can't make up for it, and it's most auspicious to see blood in one cut. Bright red chicken blood drips into a small bowl and onto the paper used for rituals. The steamer in the pot is steaming, squeezing out from the tile cracks, stirring the air, the bellows next to the stove "whirring" to send the air, dishes rolling in the iron pot, the bones of bacon on the board was chopped by the knife snapping, and the yard is filled with fragrance! This is the long-awaited flavor, is the mother's flavor! It's even more of that auspicious New Year's flavor! New Year's Eve offerings have been placed on the table, the wine poured in the cup, the solemn lighting of incense, candles, money and paper, and then hung in the yard on the branches of the firecrackers ignited, firecrackers, a series of customary "crackling" blasting away, there is a one-two punch of momentum! Crimson confetti such as the wind under the plum flying all over the sky! The sound spreads over the village. The sound of the firecrackers disperses the bad luck and welcomes the auspicious New Year! The family stood solemnly under the shrine, kowtowing to the ancestors in the underworld, praying for the family's peace and prosperity! Bless the children's academic progress! Bless the elderly with good health and longevity! Sacrifice is completed, respectfully sprinkle wine on the paper, the fire "ZiZi" in the house upward running, the paper burned out, with a clean dustpan, sprinkled in the clean earth.
Yes, it's time to eat New Year's dinner, a family reunion table full of people. The best dishes of the year are laid out on the table, and bowls are filled with the best wine! Of course, the reunion dinner is not without fish, which is the hope of the fathers and mothers, hoping that there will be more than enough for every year, and that there will be more than enough for every year! You can't say unlucky words at the Lunar New Year's dinner, you can't say no when you're full, and you can't drop your chopsticks on the floor, so if a child accidentally breaks a bowl. If a child accidentally breaks a bowl, the adults will hasten to say "peace year after year"! Eat and drink to your heart's content. Eat and drink as much as you want. The New Year's dinner should be long and slow, there is plenty of time. In the New Year, all you can do is eat. After the meal, it is time to thank the fruit trees to create wealth for us, scoop some soup and rice, with a knife in the trunk of the tree cut a knife mouth, which is to feed the fruit trees New Year's Eve rice, "feed some rice, knot a quintal, feed some soup, knot full of warehouses!"
We stood on tiptoe to put the red couplets on the door frames, the red lanterns were hung, the water tank was full, and the yard was cleaned. Soaked glutinous rice has been scooped in the mill, such as the small river in front of the house in the mill meandering flow, like milk drop by drop fell into the pocket, slowly condensed, white as snow! On New Year's Eve, all the houses were lit up, and the gala on the black-and-white TV was full of songs and dances! There's an old saying, wash your feet on the night of the 30th, and you'll be rushed everywhere in the morning. So the cleaner you wash your feet on New Year's Eve, the better, and you'll make good luck and catch up with your mouth in the coming year. It was said that you could also catch meat at any house. Meat was a luxury item in those days, so you desperately tried to wash your feet to make them whiter! Wash away the dust of the year, the fatigue of the year, the troubles of life, the misfortunes of the mundane, and all the sorrows! New Year's Eve is to keep the New Year's Eve, keep the New Year's Eve is to the watery passing years with the feeling of farewell, but also to the coming New Year to send a good hope of the meaning. The fire in the kitchen stove should not be extinguished, put a piece of unburned charcoal in the stove, so that the fire is alive and well, and will continue!
The New Year's bells are ringing, fireworks, firecrackers are ringing! The sky on New Year's Eve is so brilliant that you can't tell where the fireworks are and where the stars are. The pious old man in front of the gate lit incense and candles money and paper, bowing to pray for God's blessing, bless the new year's wind and rain, the country and the people in peace! The night sky in the countryside of the New Year is even more joyful, the sound of firecrackers, continuous ringing until dawn.
