How to write a 600-word composition about Lvliang Nanqiao Lantern Festival on January 16th?

Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, also known as "Shangyuan Festival", is one of the traditional festivals of Han nationality and some brotherly nationalities in China, which existed more than 2,000 years ago in the Qin Dynasty. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, just after the Spring Festival, the traditional festival Lantern Festival in China was ushered in. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "Xiao", so they called the fifteenth day of the first month the Lantern Festival. The fifteenth day of the first month is the night of the first full moon in a year and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. On the night of Spring Festival, people celebrate this festival and the continuation of the Spring Festival.

Lantern Festival is also called Lantern Festival. The custom of burning lanterns in the Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the lantern viewing activities became more prosperous. Lights are hung everywhere in palaces and streets, and tall light wheels, light buildings and light trees have been built. Lu Zeng, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, described the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival in "Watching Lights at Fifteen Nights", saying that "the stars in the Han Dynasty fell, and the balcony was like a hanging moon."

The Song Dynasty paid more attention to the Lantern Festival, and the lantern viewing activities were more lively and lasted for five days.

The styles of lamps are also more abundant. In the Ming Dynasty, the Lantern Festival will last 10 days, which is the longest Lantern Festival in China. Although there were only three days to enjoy the lanterns in the Qing Dynasty, the scale of the lantern viewing activities was unprecedented. Besides burning lanterns, fireworks are also set off for entertainment. "Lantern riddle", also known as "playing riddles", is an activity added after the Lantern Festival, which appeared in the Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin 'an, the capital, made riddles every Lantern Festival, and there were many people in solve riddles on the lanterns. At the beginning, it was a busybody who wrote riddles on paper and posted them on colorful lanterns for people to guess. Because riddles are enlightening and interesting, they are welcomed by all walks of life in the process of communication.

Folk custom of eating Yuanxiao on Lantern Festival. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice, which can be solid or stuffed. Filled with bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, various fruit materials and so on. You can cook, fry, steam and fry when you eat. At first, people called this kind of food "Floating Zi Yuan", and later they called it "Tangtuan" or "Tangyuan". These names are similar in pronunciation, meaning reunion, symbolizing family reunion, harmony and happiness. People also miss their departed relatives and place their best wishes on their future lives.

Second, the reason why Lvliang designated the 16th day of the first month as Lantern Festival.

Although the Lantern Festival is a traditional festival, with the development of various places, different customs have emerged, such as the Lantern Festival in Lvliang.

As we all know, the Lantern Festival is on the 15th day of the first month, but it is on the 16th day of the first month in Lvliang. So why do the people of Lvliang set the Lantern Festival on the 16th? Listen to this story. It is said that the ancestors lived in the mountains before Lvliang became a plain. At that time, the level of agriculture was low and could not meet the needs of life. Ancestors had to collect wild fruits or hunt and live a life of eating and drinking blood. As the seasons change, the source of food becomes a problem. In this case, the ancestors went to the seaside to fish and hunt, but monsters in the sea were rampant and often made waves. People at that time

We haven't mastered the formal shipbuilding technology, but we just carved a "pig slot" out of wood. When we encounter evil spirits, the ship will capsize, people will die, and our ancestors will be miserable. In order to change this situation, the ancestors pretended to hold lanterns for the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month after secret talks, and finally induced the demon to fall into a trap and put it to death. The sea in Wang Yang instantly turned into ten thousand mu of fertile land, and people who suffered a lot rushed out to rejoice and lived a happy life from then on. In order to commemorate the wise ancestors and hard-won happy life, there has always been the custom of celebrating the Lantern Festival on the 16th day of the first month. Of course, myths and legends are not convincing today, so what are the reasons? There are two sayings: First, people think that 2008 will not be completely over until the 16th day of the first month; Secondly, because of the time zone, the time in Beijing is different from that in the frontier, and the full moon is only on the 15th and 16th. For these two reasons, Lvliang didn't make Yuanxiao until he was sixteen. On the 16th day of the first month every year, Luliang County is bound to be crowded with people. In recent years, due to the convenient roads, rural friends will also flood in on this day, making it more lively.

Three-six-two delicious Yuanxiao food

Lu wants to eat cold rice noodles and bean jelly for dinner on the 16th, and there is a short story. According to legend, a grandmother named Chen Er became ill after the Spring Festival, and there was no medicine to cure her. /kloc-On 0/6, a kind neighbor sent her a bowl of delicious bean jelly. Her family thought she was seriously ill and wanted to eat, so she ate it secretly while her family was not paying attention, but she didn't expect it to be better. Since then, people have eaten bean jelly. This actually expresses people's good wishes for Geely's safety and health. Moreover, from the medical theory, the spring diet is too miscellaneous, too greasy, and the liver fire is too strong, which is easy to breed diseases. Eating bean jelly to sweep the stomach is also very helpful to health. The stalls selling rice noodles in luliang county City are full of customers and rich in financial resources.

"Lost Stone" of Sinan Bridge

After dinner, the lights were brightly lit, and the dragon dance team from the county gathered in the backstreet, crowded with people, gongs and drums and firecrackers. Activities such as walking on stilts, rowing on dry boats, jumping mussels and riding donkeys backwards have rendered the festive atmosphere to the extreme. People wearing red and green clothes, helping the elderly and carrying lanterns and setting off fireworks from all directions flocked to the South Bridge. For a time, the South Bridge was full of excitement, firecrackers were ringing and laughter was heard. South Bridge was called Huijin Bridge in ancient times. The Kaiji reach covering this bridge in the past flows into the mainstream of Nanpanjiang River and Zhongyuan Ze (alias Xiangpu and Yunyaze), and the water injected by Xihuasi River is collected in Gu Si Bay, which bends from south to west, enters this Pule village in Yu Xia through Yaoshang and West Bridge, and then leaves the country through Bantan. Therefore, it was named "Huijin". The earliest bridge was built for Lu Yi, which is a Tianjin beam bridge that must pass from south to north. Huijin Bridge was built in the early Ming Dynasty. In the twenty-second year of Hongwu (1389), Liuliangzhou (now the old state) was established. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the military institution Lu (the former site of Tongliao City in the Western Han Dynasty) was added, and Teng Ju was ordered to be located in the Hetao of Pan (the tail of Yanfang River), that is, today's area, to dig canals to lead the protection of the central plains river ring into a moat, build a tucheng and set up a health department. In order to facilitate the passage of ordinary people on both sides of the strait, this wooden bridge is called "Huijin Bridge". In the fifth year of Yongle, due to repeated floods, officials chose to build bricks and build a new city in Pingchou, North Shore. At the beginning of Xuande, a nine-mile-long, tall, square and towering tower, spacious streets and symmetrical side streets were built in the plain cities of provinces, prefectures and counties, so the capital was moved to the Old City Health Department. At that time, Huijin Bridge became the official road leading to the south of the city, and the bridge needed frequent maintenance every time it was flooded. However, after the rainy season, the river was turbid, and only this stream was crystal clear. Sometimes people will praise it: flowers fall on the water, new scales rise in spring, fishing songs are clear, and rainbows lie in the sunset. The hearts on both sides of the strait are like brocade; A stream of blue willows is like a flag. Most of the "Eight Scenes" listed in the Ming, Qing and even the Republic of China are near the two banks of this bridge: Old Town Willow, Banqiao Spring, Dajue Xiao Zhong, Xiangpu Fishing Lamp, and the roads are free of frogs. In the eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Wei was laid off and returned to the state. After the rule of the country, it moved to the Acropolis (now this city) and set up luliang county in the Republic of China.

The new China has been around ever since. 1948 (July, 37, 2000), the rainstorm continued day and night, the water level of Panjiang River soared, the Dacun Dam was washed away, the southeast of the county was besieged by floods, and Huijin Bridge was destroyed. At that time, although the luliang county Municipal Government established the Huijin Bridge Construction Committee, it issued the Notice of Raising and Advocating Construction Funds and reported it to the Provincial Construction Department for help, but it failed.

1956 the people's government of luliang county made a long-term planning and design, which was approved by the provincial communications department. A medium bridge with a span of 13 m, a total length of 7 1.04 m and a height of 7 m was built with a stone pier and a steel-concrete T-beam. Later, due to lack of funds, it was changed into a stone pier wooden bridge. 1969, the wooden surface was changed to reinforced concrete bridge deck, the carriageway was 6m wide, the sidewalks on both sides were 0.75m wide, and simple reinforced concrete guardrail was installed. The whole bridge is 71.04m long, with a load (steam) 13 60 tractor. /kloc-0 was completed in may, 1970, when it was called nanqiao.

In 2006, the people's government of Zhongshu Town decided to rebuild the south bridge guardrail, and the landscape engineering department of luliang county No.2 Construction Engineering Company donated 654.38+million yuan for public welfare and undertook the project, which started in February of 654.38+0 and was completed on June 29th of the same year. Nowadays, pedestrians can see the rebuilt guardrail: its material and craft are all inlaid with white stone carvings, separated by two vertical crowns of embossed lotus flowers, and the rest are carved with "Zodiac" respectively, with white stone pillars closely spaced. The style is simple, elegant and solemn, adding a beautiful landscape to Lu Yi!

This bridge has witnessed the vicissitudes of the old town of Guxian and both sides of the city, and still carries the traditional folk festival of "Lantern Festival on the 16th day of the first month" in Lanting City. At about 7 pm, vendors have gathered on the South Bridge, where you can not only buy some miscellaneous sweets, snacks, lanterns and other gadgets, but also see Lvliang's "one big monster"-the novelty of selling stones. Don't just look at those stones. According to the vendor, it's best to sell one yuan each. What is the charm of this stone? It turns out that with the development of economic level, the roads in the city are smooth, unlike the asphalt stones everywhere in the past.
