On the Composition of Yuyao Traditional New Year Folk Custom

Jiaozi, jiaozi! "Every year, on the first day of the first month, we all sit around and eat grandma's bag of jiaozi. According to my grandmother, eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival is an old custom in my hometown in Shandong, which was very popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Grandpa, when eating jiaozi, I want to tell a story I can recite: Eating jiaozi means "making friends with young people", while "making friends with young people" means "making friends with young people", which is homophonic with "jiaozi" and means "happy reunion" and "good luck". No wonder the annual dumpling feast is an indispensable "feast" for my family, especially this year's Spring Festival, which has added new fun.

On New Year's Day, it's time to eat jiaozi again. My aunt said to me mysteriously, "Jiao Jian, grandma's jiaozi is different today." "What's different about jiaozi?" I asked curiously. "This time, there is a jujube wrapped in jiaozi. Whoever can eat this special jiaozi will surely get what he wants. Therefore, everyone should write down their New Year's resolutions before eating. " I am very happy after listening to my aunt's words. I can't wait to grab the pen and pick up the paper. Originally, I just wanted to write "I wish my study progress", but on second thought, Grandpa just had a knife, and I should wish him good health. So, I wrote my New Year's greetings straight away. I just want to see what others have written, but they are all covered up and I can't see them.

Finally began to eat jiaozi! First grandpa eats. I saw that he grabbed one and was about to take a bite. I couldn't help crying. "Grandpa, don't eat that!" " "The adults all laughed. Grandpa deliberately only took a small bite, and I watched nervously, ah! It's food I'm relieved. The second is grandma. She said mysteriously, "I made jiaozi this time. I definitely know which one it is. "Listen to grandma, I was frightened, for fear that special jiaozi was eaten by grandma. I saw her confidently pick one at once, and I thought, "That's it. She must have picked this jiaozi. "I just want to see what the stuffing is inside, but she doesn't eat the bowl. I said anxiously, "grandma, eat quickly!" """What's the hurry? Must be a date. ""no, no, you eat quickly. " I said, and shoved this jiaozi into grandma's mouth, ah! Vegetables, too. I danced with joy and patted my chest again and again and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then my father, mother, aunt and brother took turns to go into battle, but they all failed miserably and didn't get the special "jiaozi". Finally, it was my turn. I thought, "Come on, I must catch this sly guy." I stared at this plate of jiaozi intently, and found that right in front of me, there was a jiaozi that looked different from other jiaozi. It was red, and I decided it was it. I quickly reached out my chopsticks, picked them up carefully, took a small bite and looked inside. "wow! It's jujube! " I was about to tell you the good news when an idea flashed through my mind: how meaningful it would be if I could help grandpa realize his New Year's wish! I pretended to be serious and said to everyone, "I am also a vegetable." Looking at everyone's disappointed expression, I laughed to myself. While the adults were not paying attention, I quickly secretly changed my jiaozi and grandpa's jiaozi and shouted, "Grandpa, you haven't eaten half of jiaozi yet. Come and eat. " Grandpa said, "OK, I'll eat." He just wanted to put jiaozi in his mouth, but he stood there and said strangely, "Hey, it seems that this is not my jiaozi!" I quickly said, "It's yours, it's yours, you can't rely on it, you can't rely on it." I forced grandpa to eat, and grandpa wanted a bite. "Grandpa has eaten jujube stuffing!" I pretended to be surprised and said, "Read your wish, read your wish." Grandpa smiled and said, "OK, I'll see." Grandpa read aloud: "I wish Jiao Jian academic progress!" "I asked," Grandpa, how can your wish be to bless me? " Grandpa said, "Of course, this is my greatest wish." Everyone laughed, and happy laughter filled our hearts.

This is my happy "dumpling feast" on New Year's Day! Eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival has become an indispensable program in my family. Welcome you to join us sometime.
