Interpretation text of Beijing folk customs

Speaking of customs, I think of our capital &; Mdash Beijing. Visiting temple fairs and cooking Laba porridge have become their "routines". Do you still want to know? Let me show you this interesting custom. The following are three discourses on Beijing folk customs that I collected for you. I hope you like them.

Commentary on Folk Customs in Beijing (1)

"A hundred miles of different winds, a thousand miles of different customs." All 56 ethnic groups have different folk customs. According to the folk customs in Beijing, I summarized the four major folk customs during the New Year:

One of the folk customs-posting Spring Festival couplets. Sticking Spring Festival couplets is an indispensable part of a series of activities to welcome the Spring Festival. As early as a few days before the Spring Festival, the streets were crowded with vendors selling Spring Festival couplets. The Spring Festival couplets placed on the stalls are even more dazzling, which makes people overwhelmed. Blessing words are written on each pair of Spring Festival couplets, but they are different and intriguing. Some Spring Festival couplets read: "The breeze blows the willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and the spring rain urges the flowers in the north of Saibei". Some Spring Festival couplets read: "Water, mountains and mountains are painted everywhere, and every household is rich every year". In just two sentences, I wrote the best wishes in people's hearts during the Spring Festival.

Folklore II-stick grilles. As a part of folk custom, paper-cutting art is existing and developing with its tenacious vitality, and its vigorous vitality has been greatly displayed today. Whether ancient or modern, a pair of scissors and a small piece of paper can cut out paper-cut works with a strong flavor of life. On the festive day of the Spring Festival, we can see all kinds of paper-cut works on the windows of every household-window grilles.

The third folk custom-New Year pictures. Apart from posting Spring Festival couplets at the door, it is also a great event for stick grilles to enjoy New Year pictures on the window. These New Year pictures add a harmonious and quiet atmosphere to every household. In the old society, during the Spring Festival, from the gate to the hall, every household was covered with colorful New Year pictures, symbolizing good luck and wealth. The reason why the Spring Festival is full of joy and excitement.

The fourth folk custom-Chinese knot. Throughout the streets, Chinese knots can be seen everywhere. The meaning of Chinese knots has changed from faith to the symbol of China people's "single-minded" affection, friendship, love and master's "supreme" status. From small to large, from coarse to fine, the red big Chinese knot reveals the profoundness of China culture.

Folk customs make our festivals colorful and lively. Folk customs have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and become an indispensable part!

China, a multi-ethnic country; "Fifty-six nationalities, fifty-six flowers, fifty-six nationalities are a family ..." Each region has its own unique customs. Speaking of customs, I think of our capital &; Mdash Beijing. Visiting temple fairs and cooking Laba porridge have become their "routines". Do you still want to know? Let me show you this interesting custom.

Lunar New Year, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are the three major festivals in old Beijing, especially the Spring Festival. In many festivals, there are rich and colorful folk customs. For example, on the 30th night of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family get together to eat "Old jiaozi" and "two years old in one night and two years old in five hours". At the beginning of the new year, firecrackers are set off to "bid farewell to the old and welcome the new", "centenary happiness" and "pray for good luck". The next day, I was connected with the god of wealth. From the first day to the fourth day, you don't need knives and scissors, you are not allowed to sweep the floor, and you are not allowed to cook new dishes to show that you have more than one year. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, we eat Yuanxiao, watch lanterns and visit temple fairs. On the 19th day of the first month, it is the ninth festival of cigarettes, which is the anniversary of the death of Qiu Chuji, the founder of Baiyun Taoism, followed by Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave sweeping and hiking.

"Buddha washing festival" on the eighth day of April. On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, we eat zongzi and row dragon boats to commemorate the great Chu poet Qu Yuan. Mid-Autumn Festival (commonly known as Ghost Festival) on July 15. On this day, we will sacrifice to the gods, sweep graves, put lotus lanterns, boat lanterns and cross ghosts and gods. On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, people like to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes that night, which is also called the Reunion Festival.

When the sun sets and the stars move, looking back, history has left us too many thoughts and mysterious thoughts, and this "old custom" is one of them. For example, the custom of Spring Festival has become the largest traditional folk festival in China. People pay more attention to the Spring Festival in the ancient capital, thus forming a complete set of Spring Festival customs. The first day of the first lunar month is the Spring Festival, commonly known as "Chinese New Year". The Spring Festival originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the beginning and end of the Shang Dynasty. The ancient Spring Festival was called "January Festival" and "New Year's Day". After the Revolution of 1911, the first day of the first month was officially named Spring Festival.

As far as Beijing is concerned, from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household has to soak Laba vinegar (garlic), and it has begun to have a "taste of the year". The folk song says, "Don't be sad, old lady. After Laba, it is the New Year. Laba porridge, how many days? Ber Ber La La XXIII &; Hellip& amphellip is also called "off-year" on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. There is a ballad that says, "Melons offer sacrifices to the stove. When the New Year comes, girls want flowers and boys want guns &; hellip& amphellip”。 From this day on, Beijingers are busier, offering sacrifices to stoves, sweeping the floor, steaming steamed buns, buying new year's goods, putting up the word "Fu", putting up New Year pictures, cutting out window grilles and putting up couplets. Sticking to the door and sticking to the money, I have been busy until the New Year's Eve and started the New Year.

Beijingers always post "Fu" upside down at the door, wardrobe and water tank, indicating that Fu has arrived. Sticking Spring Festival couplets is also very particular. Generally, red Spring Festival couplets are posted at home, and "horizontal approval" is posted on the lintel. The palace and the royal palace are decorated with rice paper with white background and red edge; People who guard the system (people who have lost their parents) should use blue paper; Yellow paper for temples. The Spring Festival couplets first began in the Five Dynasties in Houshu. It is said that Prince Shu wrote on the door of this palace: "The sky is falling, and the ground is connected to Changchun." This is the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. Beijingers posted "Look up and see happiness" in the inner courtyard, "Go out and see happiness" outside the house, and "Glory to the whole hospital" in the courtyard.

In the past, most people in old Beijing provided shrines or statues. By the 30 th of the year, the most important thing was to put nine offerings; Youtang's honey supply, Cheng Tang's set cakes and flower cakes are all fresh, Cheng Tang's fruits, Cheng Tang's dried fruits and flower cakes are all eight pieces in size, rice cakes and rice, vegetarian jiaozi (or steamed food) and vegetarian stir-fried food (or fried food). Those with poor families should also offer three or five offerings. Beijingers talk about eating, drinking and having fun in the New Year. These offerings are actually for people.

Beijing people's New Year's Eve (also known as reunion dinner) is essential and the most abundant New Year's Eve dinner in a year. On New Year's Eve, we should serve meat and vegetables together. There are cold meats, big items and green vegetables. Cold meat includes cold stewed pigs, mutton and cold stewed chickens and ducks. Major items include: braised pork, braised pork, rice flour meat, red and white balls, and Four Joy Meetballs. Clear mouth dishes are generally tofu, green vegetables, Roche, pickled bergamot and so on. The staple food is mostly vegetarian sleep.

Beijingers eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, which means "making friends when young". Jiaozi is always wrapped into an ingot, and sugar, copper coins, peanuts, dates, chestnuts and so on are put in the jiaozi. If you eat sugar, it means that life in the future is sweet; Eating copper coins means having money to spend; Eating peanuts means longevity, because peanuts are also called longevity fruit, and eating dates and chestnuts means early fruit &; hellip& amphellip
