Hometown customs and exercises

Hometown customs and exercises are as follows:

Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China, but the Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation, an important carrier for China people to release their emotions and satisfy their psychological demands, and an annual carnival of the Chinese nation.

It's only three days since the holiday, and it's a small year. It is really "time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle". Off-year is the "rehearsal" of the Spring Festival. As soon as it gets dark, every household will set off firecrackers when it's time for dinner. The sound is really deafening. It is said that setting off firecrackers, hanging lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets are all aimed at driving away a monster named Nian and never hurting people again.

After the New Year, everyone should prepare fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, chocolates, biscuits and some fireworks for the New Year.

New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, adults are very busy. They will prepare dinner, dishes and all kinds of vegetables for the guests when the first month comes, but our children only have one thing during the day, that is, cleaning, commonly known as "dusting", also known as cleaning the house, dusting the house, removing residue, dusting the ash, which is one of the traditional folk Chinese New Year customs.

Before a busy year, the main theme was to throw away old cloth and make new cloth. Dust removal means year-end cleaning, which is called "cleaning" in the south and "cleaning" in the north. Its original intention is to sweep away all "bad luck" and "bad luck", and to pin on the good wishes of the Chinese nation to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters and welcome good luck. I clean my study and bedroom. First, I put the sundries on the desk in the trash can, then I put the books on the bookshelf, and then I clean the desktop and bookshelf.

The study is finished, and then the bedroom. I will clean out all the clothes in the closet first, hang some winter clothes, and stack the others in drawers and squares. Then fold the quilt, put it on the bedside, and tidy up everything in the bed and bedside table. After I tidy up my room, I will go downstairs to help my father hang lanterns, paste Spring Festival couplets and paste red paper to help my mother choose dishes. ...

When it was time to set off firecrackers, I quickly closed my ears. After a burst of earth-shattering firecrackers, our family went to the table for New Year's Eve dinner. China people's New Year's Eve is a family reunion dinner, which is the most abundant and important dinner in a year.

The family ate happily together. In the evening, the folk custom of celebrating New Year's Eve together is mainly manifested in lighting up all night on New Year's Eve. Celebrating the New Year's Eve is called "burning lights to shine on the New Year's Eve", which means burning lights and candles all over the New Year's Eve. It is said that after such lighting, the family's wealth will be more abundant in the coming year. When the hour hand just pointed to zero, the night sky suddenly filled with fireworks and colorful. The fireworks that my sister and I set off are also one of the fireworks.

On the first day of the first month, after the firecrackers, the broken red is all over the ground, and the taste of the year seems to be stronger. On the way, I met friends and relatives to pay New Year greetings, and when I met them, I said "Happy New Year", so the new year began with full blessings and exultation. After New Year's greetings, you need to worship your ancestors and spend the holidays with them. After lunch, we went to see Country Night. At the party, some people danced, some sang and some competed.

During the intermission, many interactive sessions were added. You play, I guess who is undercover ... After the village night, we held many competitions, such as skipping rope, climbing mountains and kicking shuttlecock. After an afternoon of activities, I was exhausted, panting and exhausted, but I was still very happy.

On the second day of the first month, my family and I came to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. I am more excited at my grandmother's house. After the New Year holiday, I sat by the fire eating melon seeds and watching TV. When I was bored, menstruation came running cheerfully and said, "The village is dancing grass dragons. Let's go and have a look! " I readily agreed, and our family ran away excitedly. In the past, I answered the address. After a while, suddenly, gongs and drums roared and firecrackers exploded, and a mighty dragon "flew" out.

At first glance, the grass dragon is about ten meters long, and its two bright eyes are flickering and vivid. Surrounded by onlookers, screaming and clapping for a while made my heart hot. Under the dancing of the players, they circled as if a real dragon was walking in the distance. This scene is very lively.

On the fourth day of the first month, there were many guests at home. After dinner, they began to practice their fists. I watched the adults drink in cadence, and I was really not interested, so I left silently.

Time flies, the Spring Festival has passed in a blink of an eye, and adults and children have ushered in the new year in this festive and lively festival.
