Adhere to the traditional composition materials.

I once let distant customs hide in a black hole and shed tears. I believe that Meng Po's thick soup will not subvert the traditional memory, and the process of globalization can't stop the charm of customs.

4. When there is no "one year to get rid of firecrackers" in the Spring Festival, when people no longer "look up, I find it is moonlight" in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when no one thinks of "missing relatives more during the festive season" in the Double Ninth Festival, people seem to ignore the unique details of our nation hidden in the seemingly ordinary days of life. Those distant customs! Is quietly taking away our culture.

The loss of traditional customs may be only a small change of living habits, but in the long run, it is the loss of a national culture.

Without these customs, there are still a few people who can understand the beauty of Qianmen Day, and there are still a few people who can understand the mood of "going up the mountain on September 9 to remember Shandong brothers". Without these customs, no matter how good poetry is. This is just a dead letter. Without the filling of national feelings, no matter how touching the poem is, it will only look old, and there will be no people who really recite it.

Fans have been a cool thing since ancient times. ? China's fans have a long history of development. There were fans in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In terms of materials, China's fans include feather fan, bamboo fan, wan fan and Pu Kui fan. Traditional fans are mostly round, so they are called "round fans". For thousands of years, in addition to its use value, the small fan has also nurtured the wisdom of China's culture and art, forming a unique "fan culture", which has long been a well-known poem: "Silver candle draws a cold screen in Qiu Guang, and the small fan flies lightly". ? Calligraphy is used on fans, and the earliest one is "Xi book fan". In the Tang Dynasty, there were paintings, landscapes and figures on the fan. To understand China culture, fans are an irreplaceable window.
