Teacher kindergarten flag speech "China's traditional festivals"

Good morning to you all.

Silently awakening in the morning sun of September, autumn has covered the bedside. Cool autumn wind, golden leaves, we have ushered in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.

The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China, which is also the second largest traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. The 15th day of the 8th month falls in the middle of the fall season, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-autumn wild, bright moon, the ancients regarded the full moon as a symbol of reunion. Therefore, also known as August 15 for the "reunion festival". Throughout history, people often use the "full moon" "moon" to describe the "sadness and happiness", living away from home, but also to the moon to send deep feelings. In the Tang Dynasty, poet Li Bai said, "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think of your hometown", Du Fu said, "The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is bright in your hometown", and in the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi said, "The spring breeze is greening up again on the banks of the south of the Yangtze River, when will the bright moon shine on me, when will it shine on me? ", and other poems, all of which have been sung throughout the ages.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient festival, and sacrificing the moon and enjoying the moon is an important custom of the festival. Ancient emperors had the social system of sacrificing the sun in spring and the moon in fall. Folks also have mid-autumn moon festival style. Later on, moon worship became more important than moon sacrifice, and the seriousness of the sacrifice was changed into a light-hearted amusement. The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets wrote verses about the moon in their famous poems. For example, "But I wish you a long time, a thousand miles *** Canyuan Juan". "When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky with wine." And so on are handed down to this day. All over China, there are still many monuments of "moon worship altar", "moon worship pavilion", "moon watch tower". Beijing's "moon altar" is the Ming Jiajing years for the royal moon worship construction. Whenever the moon is in the sky, set up a case in the open air, moon cakes, pomegranates, jujubes and other fruits and vegetables for the table, after the moon worship, the whole family sat around the table, eating and talking, *** enjoy the moon.

Eating moon cakes is another custom of the festival, which symbolizes reunion. The production of mooncakes has become more and more elaborate since the Tang Dynasty. Su Dongpo wrote in a poem, "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crisp and syrup." Yang Guangfu of the Qing Dynasty wrote, "Mooncakes are filled with peach and meat, while ice-cream is sweetened with cane sugar frosting." It seems that the mooncakes of that time were quite similar to those of today.

There are also many legends about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them, the most familiar is of course the story of Chang'e running to the moon. There are many versions of the story that Chang'e stole her husband Hou Yi's immortality elixir and flew to the Moon Palace. After running to the moon, the Guanghan Palace where Chang'e lived was actually a very lonely place with nothing but a laurel tree and rabbits. Later, women in general worshipped the moon every Mid-Autumn Festival by paying remote tribute to Chang'e in the Moon Palace.

Teachers, students. The traditional festivals of each nation are the cultural heritage of each nation accumulated for a long time, and the traditional festivals contain the spirit of the nation. Containing the national value orientation, contains the cultural roots of the nation. As contemporary young students, we not only need to understand the form of traditional festivals, but more importantly, to dig and explore the value hidden behind traditional festivals. "What is fashionable is dazzling, but what is ethnic will last."

The moon rises in the sea, and the sky is **** this time. Finally, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion
