What are the special customs in your hometown?

China is a vast country, each place has unique customs, my hometown is located in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, a very prestigious water town in Zhejiang Province, and there are two main customs that impress me the most.

One, before eating New Year's Eve dinner must be sacrificed.

The New Year's Eve dinner is very important to the people of China, the family is happy, get together and look forward to the future while also reviewing the past. In Huzhou, before the New Year's Eve dinner, families must make sacrifices, usually preparing fish and meat and filling cups with wine. On the one hand, it is a way for the ancestors to eat and drink well during the festive season, and to prove that their children and grandchildren are well off. On the other hand, it is also to pray for good weather and family happiness in the coming year, which is a good wish.

The bowls and chopsticks, as well as the wine glasses, need to be neatly arranged, and the food need not be too much, but fresh enough, not to use the leftovers to do the job. Treating our ancestors with respect and seriousness, if there is no ancestor, we do not have today's beautiful life, sacrifices need to burn paper, and this paper needs to be pressed in advance with the banknote, as long as the pressed paper will be more before the home of men and women, young and old, need to kowtow and pray one after the other.

Two, Qingming must drink tea.

Ching Ming season is really worth drinking tea in the good season, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Qingming in addition to eating dumplings, tea is also essential, and tea must be if the year picked new tea. In fact, in our hometown Qingming day and made tea is more effective, Qingming tea can play? The role of a hundred poisons do not invade? The role, although there is some exaggeration, but the moral is always good.

We hope that after drinking this cup of tea, our future life will be more and more beautiful, our body will continue to be strong, drink Qingming tea in Huzhou has a long history. So on the eve of Qingming many families will gift friends new tea, which is a wonderful and sincere blessing, they hope that health can be passed on, drinking tea tasting life, in the Qingming this day has become very common, we have too much for the future to think and wish.
