Festivals is the beauty of prose essays

Remember when I was a child, I memorized the "twenty-four seasonal songs", the spring rain startled the spring clear valley days, summer full of summer heat connected to the summer, fall in the dew autumn cold frost, winter snow snow winter small cold, how beautiful ah. From January to December, from spring to winter, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there are corresponding seasonal seasons, than the calendar jumping to replace the cold numbers more touching people's feelings, so that people feel a different atmosphere.

Since ancient times, China has been a predominantly agrarian civilization, and thousands of years ago, our ancient people discovered the laws of nature in labor and production, and developed a calendar to guide the agricultural industry. The twenty-four solar terms, the crystallization of the wisdom of traditional life of the ancients, who hid the rhythm of time in these two words of the festival, according to the changes of nature to carry out agricultural production. Spring is the beginning of the year, the ancient Spring Festival is actually the day of spring, everything is born, everything is renewed, people look forward to a new year of success. The cuckoo bird called "cuckoo cuckoo", urging people to plow, which is a symbol of nature.

In the festivals, the ancient people made sacrifices and prayed for blessings, or went out for a trip, all of which can show their enthusiasm and seriousness for life, and symbolize their good wishes. From ancient times to the present day, poems and songs also sing about the beauty of festivals. In Wang Anshi's New Year's Day, people drink a cup of warm tusu wine at the beginning of the New Year, hoping for peace and harmony; "Last year on New Year's Eve, the lanterns in the flower market were as bright as day. The moon is on the willow tops, and people meet after dusk."
