Folk composition describing hometown

Description of Hometown Folk Composition Part I: In Xingyi, my hometown, there is a custom: On the evening of August 15 every year, adults and children should touch the autumn and share the fruits of hard work for a year.

My friends and I like this day best. As early as a few days ago, we were looking forward to ... this day has finally arrived. As soon as Sister Sunset waved goodbye to me, I picked up a small basket and carried a small lantern to find Xiaoli, Lingling and Zhu Mei. We all walked hand in hand to the venue.

Tonight is so quiet, thousands of lanterns are shining in the distance, fireflies are lighting small lanterns to join in the fun, and the stars and the moon are opening their eyes to illuminate us. Unconsciously, I have reached the ground. Let's pull some onions, garlic, cabbage and leeks according to the traditional method. According to the old man, unplugging these things will make you smart, numerate and innocent in the new year.

Of course, we are most interested in picking broad beans. "My broad beans are the best, tender, big and sweet. Let's go pick mine. " Zhu Meixian sent an invitation. "My home is good." Xiaoli is not to be outdone. Looking at them, I thought about it and said, "This is easy to handle. Why don't we choose some at home to compete? " Everyone agreed.

So we stayed in this field for a while, then jumped into that field, and picked most of the baskets without much effort. Get out of the vegetable field and sit on the clean lawn. At that time, my stomach grumbled. I came up with a good idea and said, "Let's cook the broad beans and eat them." As soon as my words came out, Lingling applauded. Xiaoli and Lingling dug a hole and skinned it. I hope May goes home to find pots and firewood. I'll fetch water, and everyone will work together. Soon the broad beans will be ripe.

Broad beans cook quickly. I eat soft and sweet broad beans, and I have unspeakable happiness in my heart. Probably the little stars also smelled the fragrance and all got out of the clouds. A large pot of broad beans was soon destroyed. "It's delicious!" Xiao Tao said. "Whose food is the best?" Xiaoli asked. I picked two broad beans, Zhu Mei and Xiao Li. I can't tell which is delicious and which is not, so I can only say "two are delicious."

Sister Moon followed us on our way home. This year is really interesting. Adults have found the fruits of a year. What about us? Feel happy.

Writing about the Folklore of Hometown Part II: Friend, have you ever seen Yangko? If you can visit our hometown on the fifteenth day of the first month, you will be attracted by the wild and unrestrained scene. In the process of lingering, maybe you can't help but join the carnival and twist involuntarily.

Listen, gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are ringing, suona rings, and a group of yangko teams in the street begin to dock. The leader is "Son Sha", wearing a niche hat, a crane and a big folding fan. Followed by a big girl and a big boy in disguise. "Seven Dong Qiang, seven Dong Qiang, seven eight Dong Qiang ..." Accompanied by the sonorous sound of gongs and drums, the yangko team, under the command of "Shagongzi", danced on T-shaped, crossed and colorful silks and satins, naturally arranged in two rows, wearing flowers and playing games. People who watch yangko naturally flinch from this majestic momentum. After running for two laps, I saw "Son Sha" jump into the center of the venue, made a "bow" with his hands clenched, sang a big greeting, and the lively little play began. At this time, the suona changed its tune, and the rhythm of gongs and drums was even higher. Teams of dry boats are like floating on the water, and the' old man with oars' dances like a drunk in front, while the' girl' (mostly disguised as a woman) looks clumsy. I was twisting to the climax when several "tricky wives" rushed out from behind. They are armed with sticks, wearing blue shirts, red and green peppers hanging from their ears, thick hedges on their heads, a "mole" the size of soybeans on their faces, and yellow faces and lips. They are aggressive and have a tendency to "fight mandarin ducks". They jumped in front of the dry boat three times and two times and began to deal with the "old man". The "stick" and "paddle" collided and banged, and their ugly faces were relatively uncompromising. They seem to tear and beat, pick and tease, jump and twist, which makes people feel ridiculous. When they were deadlocked, the stilt team rushed over and dispersed the ugly friends. ...

Just after this wave of yangko, that wave came up again. Playing dragon lanterns, lion dancing and scattering flowers; Harvest gongs and drums ... The crowds on the street are dizzying and the price is deafening. People are boiling, holding the yangko team, talking and laughing, pointing and talking. The children chased the yangko team on their father's neck, and the children ran after them. People forget the cold. Brought into the surging world of spring tides by this inspiring sound of gongs and drums.

Friend, seeing is believing, so please come and see the yangko in our hometown! See with your own eyes the scene of being drunk and dreaming, and listen to the high-spirited rhythm with your own eyes. ...
