Festival Prose 1 month 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon on August 15 is rounder and brighter than the full moon in other months, so it is also called "moonlit night" and "August Festival". On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, people try their best to reunite with their families, which means bimonthly. August 15 is also called "Reunion Festival".

Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional folk festival of Han nationality and ethnic minorities. As early as the Three Dynasties, China had the custom of "Twilight in Autumn". The moon at night is to worship the moon god. In the Zhou Dynasty, every Mid-Autumn Festival night, activities to welcome the cold and offer sacrifices to the moon were held. In the Tang Dynasty, it was quite popular to enjoy and play with the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Southern Song Dynasty, people gave mooncakes to each other as a symbol of reunion. There are activities such as enjoying the moon and visiting the lake in the evening. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival has become more popular. Many places have formed the custom of burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting tower lanterns, putting sky lanterns and walking on the moon. Dragon dancing and other special customs. Nowadays, the custom of playing under the moon is rare. However, feasting and enjoying the moon are still very popular. People drink alcohol in the middle of the moon to celebrate a better life, or wish their distant relatives health and happiness and spend a good time with their families.

In ancient times, there were sacrifices to the moon and Yue Bai. Put up a big incense table, with moon cakes, watermelons, apples, pears, grapes and other sacrifices, among which moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. Watermelons are also cut into lotus shapes. Under the moon, the moon god is placed in that place of the moon, and the red candle burns high. The whole family takes turns in Yue Bai, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes. The chopping people count the number of people in the family in advance, and they can't chop more or less. The connection between moon cakes and Mid-Autumn Festival was in the Ming Dynasty. According to relevant information, there was a kind of mooncake filled with fruit in Beijing at that time. People made mooncakes for their own use during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they could also be given to relatives and friends as gifts to express reunion and congratulations. At that time, moon cakes were irregular in size and shape, with great differences and special names. For example, in the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiexian County, Shanxi Province, local people have the custom of having their families sit around and eat reunion moon cakes. They make many moon cakes, which are also very interesting, such as crescent moon cakes for men, gourd moon cakes for women, and moon cakes such as "Monkey King" and "Male Prostitute" specially prepared for children. Many names, and so on.

There are many customs and forms of Mid-Autumn Festival, but all of them are entrusted with people's infinite love for life and yearning for a better life. Mid-Autumn Festival has always been regarded as the most humane and poetic festival. Some people say that the Mid-Autumn Festival will certainly be even more deeply missed whenever the festive season is full of homesickness, especially when the moon is high. I will miss my family more and more.

Festival theme prose II: Spring Festival

In my memory, the Spring Festival is almost the same every year, lively, festive and peaceful.

In our family, my father, mother and grandfather began to prepare for the Spring Festival. They bought a lot of delicious food from the supermarket, which is also the moment that children look forward to most. Before and after the Spring Festival, there are amazing things to do: cleaning, carrying water, pickling vegetables and so on. Every time I work, I am always exhausted, so that in those days, I am not only hungry for revolution, but also accused of being lazy because I am hungry and have no strength to be "glorious". Cleaning every day is a compulsory course. I will be dragged from the bed to the broom in the early morning and often clean a house every day. That kind of cleaning is really effective for dust and hair, even the dust in the air seems to have feet. The first day is my favorite. When I got up in the morning, I started to set off firecrackers, and the boys jumped up happily. I enjoyed it, too, and lit a cannon. Unexpectedly, without putting it for a while, the sales blossomed and made me cry. At noon, firecrackers were always on, and a lot of firecrackers' wrapping paper piled up into a mountain. I went to my relatives' house with my parents the next day.

A few days after the first day of junior high school, there is nothing new: I eat leftovers every day, and then I eat vegetables that have lived for a long time, but I have never eaten them. Every family eats glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival, symbolizing the Tuan Tuan Garden. I have to stay up all night, so I don't care if I fall asleep illegally.

Listen to the older generation at night about the origin of staying up late:

There is an interesting story among the people: in Archean, there was a fierce monster scattered in the deep mountains and forests, which people called "Nian". Its appearance is ferocious, its nature is ferocious, it only eats birds, animals and insects, and its taste changes every day, from kowtowing insects to living people, which makes people talk about "Nian". Later, people gradually mastered the year.

When the date of "Nian" was determined, people took this terrible night as a gateway and called it "Nian Guan", and came up with a whole set of methods to close the New Year's Eve: every family prepared dinner in advance, turned off the fire and cleaned the stove, then tied all the cowpeas, sealed the front and rear doors of the house and hid in the house to eat the "New Year's Eve" because this dinner was uncertain. In addition to asking the whole family to have dinner together to show harmonious reunion, it is also necessary to make sacrifices to ancestors before eating and pray for the blessing of ancestors to spend the night safely. No one dares to sleep after dinner, so they sit together and chat with courage, thus gradually forming the habit of not sleeping for one year on New Year's Eve.

Facing people's busyness, it came slowly, but left silently, leaving people with deep attachment. No matter how the Spring Festival passed, whenever I think about it, I still can't help but marvel at the charm of China's traditional culture!

Festival theme prose III: Happy Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the busiest time at home, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere!

On the afternoon of the twelfth lunar month, my father was busy putting up Spring Festival couplets, and my brother and I were busy helping my father put up Spring Festival couplets. We posted a big blessing in the center of the gate, and festive Spring Festival couplets were posted on both sides of the gate. The first part was "Silver Snake brings blessings", the second part was "Purple Swallow Dance Spring Breeze" and the second part was "Happy New Year".

On the morning of New Year's Eve, I put on new clothes and watched my father and brother set off firecrackers together. A crackling sound passed through our ears, as if to send blessings to thousands of families. We are very happy. In the evening, after dinner, I watched the Spring Festival Gala with my father, mother and sister. The wonderful performance made me feel suddenly enlightened, with cross talk, sketches, songs and dances ... very beautiful.

I got up one by one on New Year's Eve and found lucky money under my pillow, and so did my brother. We laughed happily. Then we ate jiaozi and went to grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings. After the worship, my grandparents gave us lucky money and all the delicious food. We are all very happy.

I like China New Year. That's great!

Festive Prose No.4: Mid-Autumn Festival

Today is August 15, and people are in high spirits, celebrating this traditional festival-Mid-Autumn Festival in various forms.

August 15th of the lunar calendar is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival every year. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. In China's lunar calendar, a year is divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into three parts: Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival. The legend of Mid-Autumn Festival is very rich, and fairy tales such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, WU GANG, Gui Jian and Jade Rabbit are widely circulated.

In the evening, my parents and I came to my grandfather's house, and my grandparents warmly welcomed us. Uncle and aunt also came together, and everyone spent the holidays together. In order to welcome everyone, my grandparents cooked a sumptuous meal. While everyone was talking and laughing, they had a sumptuous reunion dinner, and the adults had to drink. Our children have already exchanged wine for drinks, wishing each other well, and that deep affection was passed on to each other at the dinner table.

Eating moon cakes is also a major custom in the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang launched a peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he used moon cakes as a secret means to deliver a notice and agreed to the Mid-Autumn Festival uprising on August 15th, which achieved good results. Later, people ate moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate the victory of the rebels. Now, moon cakes have evolved into a symbol of family reunion.

So, after dinner, each of us took a piece of moon cake in his hand and went downstairs to enjoy the moon and eat it. "The period from the moon to the Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly bright." Yes, the moon is particularly bright tonight. A golden full moon hung high in the sky like a silver jade plate, and the bright moonlight poured on the earth like water, illuminating the whole yard. The clouds in the sky are light and the moonlight is beautiful, which constitutes a picture.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is really hard to forget! Mid-autumn night is so beautiful!

Festival Theme Prose V: Unforgettable Mid-Autumn Night

Mid-Autumn Night is a beautiful and quiet night. Every family gets together, tastes moon cakes, melons and fruits, and enjoys family happiness. "Everyone wants the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion, which is human nature", but it is always impossible for every family to do so. My father is a TV reporter, because he is busy with work, he can't spend several Mid-Autumn Festival with us. Thinking of this, I can't help thinking of Su Shi's Water.

Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and it is also the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. In the evening, my mother and I went back to my grandmother's house for the New Year. After the reunion dinner, my brother and I went to the rooftop to enjoy the moon.

The moon was shyly covered with layers of gauze, and it took a long time to gently lift the veil and gradually reveal its shining face. I looked up at the moon carefully, and my heart was full of infinite reverie about the distant moon and sky.

The younger brother looked at the bright moon in the sky, turned around and asked wittily, "Sister, is this a silver plate?" I am so angry and funny when I hear this sentence. He must have remembered the ancient poem "A Journey to Gulangyu" I taught him and deliberately showed it off. So, we read to the moon: "When I was young, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate. I also suspect that Yao Taijing is flying on the other side of Qingyun Mountain. "

While chatting, we ate moon cakes with relish, including five kernels, lotus seeds and barbecued pork ... My favorite is double yellow. Take a bite, it's sweet and delicious!

How time flies! It was dark in a blink of an eye, so we had to go home reluctantly I wonder what the Mid-Autumn Festival will be like next year.
