Summary of 500 words of Qixi Ci

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival in China. Valentine's Day in China is also called Qiaojie Qiaojie Festival. Let's share the tanabata speech for your reference.

Tanabata voice 1

My sister and I sat cross-legged on the stone steps in front of the house, clapping our hands and singing an old ballad. The clear moonlight shone on the old banyan tree, and a slight wind blew gently, disrupting the mottled tree shadows on the paving stones next to it. There is a little sweetness in the wind. We stood up, full of sweet wind, and decided to go to the busy street to experience the romantic atmosphere of Qixi night.

Out of the alley, there was a strong smell of popcorn, so my sister and I couldn't help but squeeze into the queue and buy popcorn with fragrance. The usually deserted stalls are particularly lively tonight. Taking advantage of the free time in the queue, we looked at the little couples waiting in line around us with curious eyes: I saw that men and women were dressed beautifully or handsome tonight. These little lovers' fingers are tightly locked and their faces are filled with sweet smiles; Have a plenty of happy hugs and affectionate eyes; Have a plenty of fun with each other, and your gestures reflect the happiness at this time.

The air is filled with the smell of happiness, which is blown into people's hearts by the wind. Tanabata is not an exclusive festival for young people. My sister and I were walking on the road when we saw two familiar figures under the dim street lamp. Huh? Isn't that Uncle Wu and Grandma Wu downstairs? They also came to Qixi.

I saw Uncle Wu trembling and taking out a candy from his pocket. He carefully tore open the candy paper and put it in grandma Wu's mouth. Yes, my uncle told us that Grandma Wu likes to eat sugar since she was a child. Today, more than 30 years ago, my uncle proposed to my grandmother with a few precious imported sweets. At that time, grandma almost jumped for joy. Although we have listened to my uncle for several years, we still take pains to beg him to tell it again. The dim light shone on grandma's face, and there was a smile on her lips. Time seemed to have returned to their golden age.

Colorful neon lights in the city illuminate the whole night sky. I looked up at the shining stars overhead and thought: Cowherd and Weaver Girl must meet happily on the Magpie Bridge now. The horns of cars in the street, the shouts of vendors, people's laughter and the sound of fireworks in the sky are now intertwined into a romantic Qixi song in our ears and hearts.

Tanabata, let's join hands in love!

Tanabata speech 2

The customs and legends of Qixi in Wenzhou are different. 1 1 Each county (city, district) has its own characteristics. The closer to Wenzhou, the simpler the general customs. Before and after Tanabata, the elders will give the younger generation smart food (such as smart cakes sold in cake shops) and seasonal fruits. Dongtou, Taishun and other relatively closed islands and mountainous areas have completely preserved ancient customs.

There are frequent contacts between people in Longwan, and there are also some courtesy contacts between relatives in the four seasons and eight festivals. For example, on New Year's Eve, the elders send lucky money to the younger generation, and the son-in-law goes to her husband's house to pay a New Year's call, and the husband's house returns next year (that is, pays a return visit). Gifts are also exchanged in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Festival (that is, winter solstice). Close interpersonal relationships also enhance the feelings between relatives.

Uncle Longwan sent clever food to his nephew.

On Tanabata, my uncle usually gives gifts to my nephew, including rice cakes, nine-layer cakes, smart food and other items. In the past, in rural areas, every household began to be busy a few days before Tanabata, grinding rice noodles and making these gift-giving snacks, and some large families even bought them directly from cake shops.

However, in Longwan area, locals call Qiao's clever tongue (such as duck tongue in urban areas), because the word "Shi" is homophonic in the local dialect, while the word "tongue" is homophonic with "earning" in the local dialect. This is closely related to the local mercantile culture, especially Yongjiachang area (formerly known as Yongqiang).

Some people will also fill the washbasin with water, put it on the back of the tile, and take it down the next morning to wash their hands and eyes, indicating that washing their eyes will be quick.

Children will put bamboo beds in the patio, while listening to the elders pointing out Tianhe, Altair and Vega, while waiting to see the meeting of the Altair and the Vega. But they often fall asleep while waiting, and wake up the next day very upset. They swore to each other that they would stay up late to watch the spectacle next year. This is very interesting.

Yueqing, July 7th, bid farewell to the wise.

Yueqing has the custom of "sending smart people on July 7th", and it is also a festival for elders to give gifts to younger generations.

I heard before that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, many ladies from large families in Yueqing would use colored thread to thread needles on Tanabata night to get clever. Ordinary people usually sit in the Taoist temple on Tanabata night, shaking the cattail leaf fan and teaching their children to read some children's songs related to Tanabata, such as "the stars in the sky are shining; On July 7th, homo habilis (dialect' neng') split. A wise man is divided into two. Grow melons in the garden; Less hemp, younger sister, more hemp, bigger (sound' beans'). Plant a bean in the garden. As you sow, you reap. "

Taishun worships Ma Xian on Tanabata.

Every year on the seventh day of July, every family in Taishun organizes young people to sacrifice to Ma Xian. Ma Xian comes from Lishui, also known as Empress Ma Xian, Empress Ma Tianxian and Empress Ma Sanxian Xian Zhen. According to folklore and the Records of Jingning County, Ma Xian was originally from Luci Township, Jingning County, Lishui City (formerly known as Chuzhou). Because of her filial piety to her parents, she was named "Tang Xiaofu" by the imperial court (Tang Dynasty). People built the Temple of Ma Tianxian here as a place to beg for children.

At five or six o'clock in the morning of Tanabata, worshippers go to Ma Xian Palace with offerings. In addition to traditional incense sticks, they also bring seasonal fruits, fish, eggs, meat, tea, wine and other items. The most important thing is to bring a kind of rice cake called "Mingjian". This kind of cake made of rice flour was originally made into the shape of a villain, but now it will be made into various shapes such as cone and crane.

There will also be a social drama performance at Ma Xian Palace, which means "Please come to the theatre" and usually lasts for one morning. At noon, after the sacrifice, everyone will take the sacrifice home and give it to the children for good luck, and the girls will also ask for originality. Some people who go to sacrifice will also invite guests to eat sacrifices at home.

Taishun's children will tie a red rope to their hands, the boy will tie his left hand and the girl will tie his right hand, which is called "tying the hoof" locally. On the second year's Tanabata, the red rope was removed again, mainly to hope that the children could hold the pen more stably and do things more skillfully.

Dongtou: it's a seven-star pavilion, worshipping the seven fairies.

Tanabata customs all over the country are mostly related to cowherd and weaver girl. After a long historical development, China Valentine's Day in Dongtou has incorporated more folk elements, including Valentine's Day, Children's Day, Adult's Day, Beggar's Day, Daughter's Day, Blessing Day and Thanksgiving Day. Children's Day and Adult's Day are the most important, which is also related to the special geographical environment of Dongtou and the high risk of fishery production. It requires young people to grow up as soon as possible and take on family and social responsibilities, which has very distinctive fishing village characteristics.

The total population of Dongtou is 1.26 million, of which three fifths speak Minnan. Their ancestors moved in from Quanzhou and Hui 'an in Fujian, and the residents mainly engaged in fishery production. Tanabata custom was first introduced into Dongtou from Quanzhou, Fujian Province with the migration of population, mainly distributed in 50 villages such as Bei 'ao Town, Dongping Town, Jue Yuan Township and Niyu Township, which speak Minnan dialect. Custom sacrificial procedures and production techniques are well preserved, and the original ecological folklore has been passed down for more than 300 years, which has a deep mass base in the local area. In 2009, it was listed in the representative list of intangible cultural heritage in Zhejiang Province, and Dong 'ao Village was listed as the municipal intangible heritage project inheritance base.

Dongtou, like Minnan, worships seven fairies on Valentine's Day in China (spoken as seven-star mother and seven-star lady who writes literary works), which originated from an ancient legend widely circulated on Dongtou Island. A long time ago, the Jade Emperor sent the Empress Dowager to observe human sufferings, good and evil. The Queen Mother came to the world disguised as a beggar. When she saw someone ramming mud with glutinous rice to build a grave, she was whipped when she came forward to beg. The queen mother was furious and marveled that the world was spoiled and snobbish by food. The jade emperor brought disaster to the world, and after three years of drought, the grain was not born, and the six relatives denied it, making everyone "eat people"! After learning this with a grain of salt, the seven fairies became beggars and begged from an old ferryman. They learned that it was the rich man who built the tomb with glutinous rice and putty, and many poor people could not even eat bran cakes. The seven fairies reported the bran cakes to heaven, but the order was like a mountain and could not be changed. So the seven fairies descended to earth again, made human-shaped cakes out of rice flour and gave them to people. Thin children grow tall and strong after eating. People appreciate the kindness of the seven fairies, and name this humanoid cake "Qiaoren" and make it on the seventh day of July every year. In order to give the seven fairies a shelter from the wind and rain, they built a "seven-star pavilion" to worship the seven fairies. Everyone hopes that their children can be taken care of by the seven fairies, and when they grow up, they will have an adult ceremony.

In Dongtou, about half a month before Tanabata, craftsmen made it into a "seven-star pavilion" for sale. /kloc-families with children under 0/6 should buy it. If your child is just over 16 years old, you must buy a "round pavilion" (with two floors). If the child is under 16 years old and the family is in financial difficulties, you can also buy a kiosk (that is, a kiosk on the first floor). In recent years, everyone's economic conditions have improved, and almost no one has bought a pavilion, and craftsmen have stopped doing it. On the contrary, three-story pavilions have become popular, and more cultured families will buy five or seven-story pavilions.

The Seven Star Pavilion is made of paper. No matter what kind of Seven Star Pavilion it is, there are seven fairy statues on it. There are also several clay figurines named "Moeli" in the Seven Star Pavilion. Their heads are made of mud. However, due to the trouble of production, few craftsmen will make it unless the buyer asks.

At about five or six o'clock in the evening of Tanabata, the island residents began to prepare to worship the Seven-Star Empress in the patio or at the door of their home. Tributes include Seven Star Pavilion, "Ren Qiao" candied fruit, red turtle, red circle and a plate of flowers (seven flowers, usually impatiens, roses, carnations, etc.). ), and seven-color silk thread (ancient daughters used silk thread to open their faces when they got married. And this colored thread is for the seven-star queen), seven pieces of fragrant powder (for the seven-star queen's makeup), eggs (which must be cooked and cut into seven pieces), copper coins, shells, longevity noodles, red dates and other dried fruits are strung together with red ropes, seasonal fruits and cooked food. Families with children aged 16 must kill a rooster as a sacrifice. If the family is in financial difficulties, it can be replaced by a rice chicken. If there are chickens and children at home, they should also be replaced by rice chickens.

When worshipping, read a prayer song, pray with the children and burn the seven-star pavilion. There is also the Seven Star Pavilion that was incinerated the following year. The narrator once saw in a family in Banping area that his family usually put the seven-star pavilion on the altar dedicated to the land and the god of wealth, and burned incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, asking the seven-star empress to bless the children to grow up safely. On the second year of Tanabata, he bought a new seven-star pavilion to replace it, and then burned the old one year after year until the child 10.

After the withdrawal of the confession, the rooster is provided to the children of 16 years old, which means that they grow fast and grow big; Red sea turtles and red circles are distributed to relatives and friends, telling children that they are "adults". The ceremony of worshipping the Seven-Star Queen begins when the child is one year old and ends when the adult 16 years old. At present, some families begin to worship their pregnant daughters-in-law. The ceremony was the most grand when they were one year old 16 years old. There is a one-year-old child at home. When they worship, they stipulate the number of red turtles and red circles, which is generally 12. In the leap year, each of them prepares 13, but when the children worship at 16,

After the confession was withdrawn, other sacrifices were shared by relatives and friends, and today's blessing banquet evolved from this. This year, 90 tables of Qixi Blessing Banquet in Dong 'ao Village have been fully booked. In the future, the "Blessing Banquet" will be promoted throughout the county like Taishun's "Hundred Banquets" to further enhance Dongtou's cultural tourism brand.

The narrator said that when she was a child, on Qixi night, her girlfriends would get together under the grape trellis and listen to the whispers of Weaver Girl and Cowherd. Everyone dyes their nails with alum and impatiens.

Pingyang: Clever Tongue and Dispelling Wind

Pingyang people will eat a sweet cake made of glutinous rice flour, which looks like a long tongue and is fried in oil. It is covered with sesame cakes and is called "Sesame Clever" or "Clever Tongue". Another method is to cook and mash glutinous rice and sugar, first make them into rice cakes that are more than half an inch high, more than one inch wide and more than one foot long, put them in the wind to dry slightly, then plane them into thin slices with a wooden plane, further dry them, and fry them in oil, which is called "wind removal" by locals (also called baking, fashion, sheath drying, etc. These are all related to pronunciation). It looks a bit like shrimp slices, but the shrimp slices are colorful and salty. "Xiao Feng" is sweet and white, with a red line on the edge, which is also the favorite snack for children on Valentine's Day in China.

These two cakes were given to her daughter by her mother. Girls taste delicious food and make various handicrafts under the moon. The girls believe that the Weaver Girl will make their hands more dexterous, and pray for the Queqiao Fairy Club in their hearts. Or grandparents send their grandchildren smart cakes, trusting their elders and hoping that their children will be smart after eating smart food, which also means "smart".

"Pingyang County Records" records: On the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, it is said that the cowherd and the weaver girl crossed the Milky Way and crossed the magpie bridge to meet. Folk children eat "smart food" and "baked food", both of which are sweets made of rice flour. In the evening, women set up clever food, melons and fruits to worship the sky in the atrium. In front of Vega in the moonlight, they competed to wear embroidery needles with five-color silk threads, which is called "begging for cleverness". People in many places in Pingyang County have had the custom of July 7th, and some ballads are still circulating. For example, Kunyang, Aojiang has "July 7th Wind Wheat (Broad Bean)", Xiaojiang has "July 7th Cool, Cowherd and Weaver Girl will know Yuanyang; If you want to meet on July 7, the grass bridge will fall into the river. "

Aojiang also has a story about "eating smart food on July 7th". According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a gentleman named Zhu who married to the Su family somewhere in southern Zhejiang. He got a son at the age of forty, and the baby's name is Zhu Guigui. The couple love each other and regard each other as the apple of their eye. When Mogui was seven years old, he personally taught his son to write, but under his father's strict education, Mogui became more and more clumsy. On July 7, one year, Sue repeatedly begged the foreign minister to make an exception and let his son go to his uncle's house. My aunt made him long cakes with wheat flour mixed with brown sugar and sesame seeds. Mo Gui likes it very much and asks her aunt to send him bread on July 7th next year. My uncle accompanied him to travel and took him to other places to learn some agronomy, which broadened his horizons, increased his knowledge of nature and broadened his horizons. After returning home, he told his father about agricultural planting knowledge. His mind is much more flexible and light than before, and he is not as clumsy as before, so he changed his name to Zhu. Subsequently, the old member posted the four characters "home of farming and reading" on the gate. Let him work in the fields during the day and study at night, and his study has made great progress. His uncle and aunt were also very happy when they learned that. So on July 7th every year, many wheat sticks are made and named "buckwheat food" for Zhu to eat. Later, the story spread among the people, and it became a common custom to give smart food on July 7, which has continued until now.

The July 7th custom in Pingyang is also related to the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the five-color longevity thread tied to the children's wrists and ankles should be cut off on July 7, and the "smart food" tied to the cut line should be thrown on the roof tiles, so that the magpies can help the cowherd and the weaver girl build a magpie bridge. There are also children who put seasonal fruits on tiles and beat them with small bamboo sticks to celebrate the meeting between cows and girls, which is called "knocking on tiles".

There is also the "Cangtou Palace Temple Fair on July 7th" in the village in the center of Pingyang, where Ma Xian's birthday is celebrated.

In Pingyang countryside, the custom of "dividing the seventh day of July" continues. Those who married a new wife before July of that year will give their relatives and family clever words, toast, wheat and other food. These things are provided by the bride's family.

Ruian, Wencheng and other places

In addition, Ryan, Wencheng and other places will also eat a cake with a shape and size similar to that of a finger. In Rui 'an, red beans are usually mixed into rice noodles to make them finger-sized and used to steam cooked food for "handy"; Wencheng, on the other hand, adds mint to cakes, which makes them cool in summer. Locals also call these noodles "smart food".

Tanabata speech 3

Tanabata, a magical word, seems to have passed away in the years.

When I was a child, I heard many stories about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which still reverberate in my ears. The days when the cowherd and the weaver girl are still in my mind. The magpie bridge has been built, competing to witness the whispering when they meet.

Now is an open era, and foreign festivals seem to gradually replace our traditional festivals. People know that there is a Valentine's Day in the West, and they give many gifts to their girlfriends or wives on that day, but do you remember a Valentine's Day in China in the Far East?

In the Ganges system, there is a beautiful legend, a beautiful bridge and a love story that carries China for 5,000 years. As a child, you may have heard a lot; When you were young, you may have imagined that one day the cowherd and the weaver girl would be together.

Chinese sons and daughters, why can't this beautiful story continue? Chinese sons and daughters, do you really like foreign culture so much that you don't like your own "ugly" China culture? Chinese children, didn't they just let the bridge built by magpies disappear in vain?

I don't think so. Chinese children will never forget their "ancestors"-Chinese culture. Although there are dross, most of them are good. Confucianism teaches us to respect teachers and love children. So, what did Tanabata teach us?

Tanabata, this touching day. It teaches us to fight for freedom and get it. No matter whether people are gods or not, life is equal, life is dear to each other, and there is no boundary between gods. There is no barrier to love between people, and no one can stop it.

Tanabata, an eternal festival, is also a gradually forgotten Valentine's Day.

Tanabata speech 4

Dear leaders, distinguished guests,

Hello everyone!

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is a traditional festival in China. Valentine's Day in China is also called Qiaojie Qiaojie Festival. This festival, which originated in the Han Dynasty, is a romantic traditional festival in China and has the reputation of "Valentine's Day in China". However, we should not simply compare Valentine's Day in China with Valentine's Day in the West, because Tanabata, like the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, contains the simple feelings of our nation and embodies the uniqueness and beauty of ancient oriental culture. This "Night in the Orchid"? Keeping watch on tradition "Celebrating the Qixi Evening is the call for the return of our traditional culture.

In ancient China, the seventh lunar month was called the "blue moon" and Tanabata was called the "blue night". July is the peak period for all kinds of orchids to grow. Orchid appreciation on Tanabata has always been an elegant event for literati. Tonight, among the dense orchids, the most typical elements of China, such as poetry, calligraphy and painting, and drama, are gathered here. All of you here, young and old, are gathered together. It can be said that a group of talents are perfect and a few are long and salty.

Here, first of all, I would like to introduce the leaders attending the meeting. Let's extend a warm welcome to their arrival. At the same time, I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to the County Planning and Construction Bureau for its strong support for this event.

In addition to the county drama association, county poetry society, county orchid association and county orchid society, which aims at promoting Pingyang traditional culture, I would also like to introduce the Jifu poetry and calligraphy painting society from our county, which has just been established for two months. They made a special trip to attend this elegant party tonight. Let's warmly welcome these guests from afar.

Let's begin to enjoy the wonderful performance tonight. What I want to say here is that the preparation time for this activity is very short. In order to run the party well, the chairman of the County Dramatists Association sacrificed his rest time and went to each branch to guide the performance rehearsal. He will also accompany Hu tonight. Let's thank him for his efforts with applause.

Tanabata speech 5

The seventh day of July is Valentine's Day in China, also known as Begging for Clevership Festival, Girls' Day and Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day in China mainly celebrates the annual meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky. From fairy tales, the folk custom is called Tianhe match.

According to the plot of the meeting of Cowherd and Weaver Girl on Tanabata, there is a custom of tying portraits to celebrate, that is, tying a pair of young men and women with branches and other things in the streets to represent the meeting of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Present fruits, peaches and plums in front of the statue to congratulate. When Xinghan is brilliant, if you see the milky way shining with five colors, it is considered as a sign that the cowherd and the weaver girl will meet. In the old society, I had to bow down and beg for the gift of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It is said that the cowherd and the weaver girl are the embodiment of hard work, so worshippers can ask farmers for weaving to propose marriage. Seeking gold and silver for profiteering is counterproductive. One can only beg for one thing, but it is useless to ask for more. In the face of auspicious signs, sincere prayers for three consecutive years will surely come true. The climate in Shanxi and the heavy rainfall around Tanabata make it difficult to beg for three years in a row. According to folklore, if it rains on Tanabata, it is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl who cry their eyes out, which indicates that the husband and wife are harmonious and the family is prosperous.

On Tanabata, the girls' daughters-in-law also have many activities to ask the Weaver Girl for advice, which is called pleasing.

In the south of Shanxi, people used to weave a bridge with new wheat straw, and put desks with cowherd, weaver girl, boy, girl, old cow and magpie. Or use colored paper to cut out the scenery above and stick it on the wall. After praying, take seven embroidery needles and thread colored lines into the pinhole. People who can successfully pass through seven pinholes at a time are considered to have superb begging skills.

In Quwo county, it is popular for boys and girls to throw water into the water, to seek cleverness with stars and to celebrate incense festivals.

It is customary in northern Shanxi to bask in a basin of water in the yard during the day, and the surface of the basin of water forms a film because of falling dust. After the embroidery needle is oiled, gently put it on the water, and the person who will float will be considered skillful. In northwest Shanxi, bean sprouts are placed in basin water, and those born before the festival are placed on the water. Under the irradiation of sunlight, after the refraction of basin water, the underwater reflection will show various dynamics, either centipede, water snake, water dog or chicken. The more complex and real the reflection, the more ingenious the metaphor.

Girls in southeastern Shanxi want to catch a spinning spider and put it in a box on Tanabata. The next day, observe the density of cobwebs. The denser they are, the smarter they are.

Like girls, boys should also ask Cowherd for cultivation skills on Tanabata.

In the south of Shanxi, it is customary to cover wood or slate with soil, make a small hut scene on the soil, and make a garden next to the house. Planting millet seedlings in the field is called "grain board"

In the north of Shanxi, people are used to soaking wheat and various beans in water to promote their germination. On Tanabata, people who wrap flower buds with colored lines call it "sowing".

The shepherd boy in northwest Shanxi wants to weave a wreath for the cow, which is called "the birthday of the old cow".

There is a saying in southeastern Shanxi that in the dead of night, you lie under the grape trellis and eavesdrop on the cowherd and weaver girl whispering. On Valentine's Day in China, people like to make all kinds of sweets with white flour or cake powder mixed with oil, sugar and honey, which is called smart food. In Shanxi, everyone eats watermelon and likes to carve patterns on it, which is called "flower melon".
