Do you have a 450-word composition about the customs of Chaoyang Spring Festival?

In Chaoyang, the first day of the first lunar month is the New Year. Chinese New Year can be divided into three sections: farewell to the old year (farewell to the old year), new year (greeting the new year) and new year (opening the new year).

(1) Farewell the old year-family reunion around the stove on New Year's Eve

Resign from the old year, Chaoyang people are also called Chinese New Year. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, starting from this, people began to buy new year's goods, clean up and offer sacrifices to the gods. On the 24th, if you say "Master has gone to heaven", you must prepare a "paper horse". "Paper horse" is intended to let immortals from all walks of life ride to heaven to "report on their work", hoping that it will be "kind to heaven and peaceful in the next world". The 24th is still the day of offering sacrifices to stoves. From 25th to New Year's Eve, everyone is busy and happy.

On the last day of the Lunar New Year, people call it "New Year's Eve", because most months are very small, so

It is called "Twenty Kuya", also called "New Year's Eve".

On New Year's Eve, every household puts up new Spring Festival couplets at the door. The house is full of food, including chicken, goose, duck, pork, pig's trotters, mushrooms, needle vegetables, fungus, rotten branches and fresh vegetables and fruits. In the afternoon, you must worship the ancestral shrine, and then you should take a bath at all ages. Before taking a bath, you must pick 12 kinds of flowers and leaves and put them into the bath water, which is called "flower water". Bathing is called "New Year Bath", which is intended to wash away the old filth and greet the new year cleanly.

At the beginning of turning on the light, every household closed the door to "surround the furnace". Why shut it down? This is related to the legend that the ancients drove away the monster "Nian" at the end of the year. So it is also called "Chinese New Year". On the kitchen table, the dishes are rich. There is a "kitchen" in the middle of the table, commonly known as "guest kitchen". Lu Bin is a container made of copper, tin or aluminum. This vessel contains charcoal fire in the middle of the stove, and meatballs and fish balls are placed in the hot soup around it. The homonym of "pill" and "circle" is used to send a family reunion on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, all relatives far away from Sang Zi go home for reunion. Around Lu Bin, there are boiled chicken, red roast goose, red mosquito's trotters, raw fried leeks, live roasted fresh cockroaches, mosquito's ginger potatoes, etc., all of which are "starting with chicken", "eating trotters every year" and "eating leeks for a long life and wealth". More interestingly, after the New Year's Eve, parents should take out the "turtle shell" prepared in advance and let everyone taste it to congratulate their health. Then, parents give lucky money to their children, and later generations give "lucky money" to their elders. Then, the family will get together and start "supporting the elderly" to celebrate the family happiness. There is a saying in Chaoyang: "One night for two years, five hours for two years."

(2) The prospect of celebrating the New Year is not over.

From 0: 00 on New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the first month, it is called Chinese New Year. During the Spring Festival, people put on new clothes and cook sweet potato Qiangtang soup, but the daughter-in-law should respect her in-laws and the children should respect their parents to eat sweet potato Qiangtang soup first. Then, set off firecrackers after worshipping heaven and earth and ancestors. After breakfast, people will take Chaozhou citrus to each other's home to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone says "Happy New Year" and "Make a fortune in the New Year" when they meet. * * * Celebrate the Spring Festival and look forward to the future.

Chaozhou orange, Chaoyang people call it "Daji". The origin of "Daji" is quite interesting. It is said that in ancient times, the Spring Festival was celebrated once a year. However, in a village in Chaozhou, the whole village is crowded with people.

Suffering from thirst, at this time, a fairy dreamed of a smart and beautiful girl in the village and said, "Eat sweet (citrus was called' sweet' in ancient times) and you will be safe." The girl realized that immediately let her mother eat oranges first, and then eat them herself. Miraculously, the mother and daughter got sick immediately. After hearing the news, the neighbors passed oranges to each other and recovered after eating oranges. Since then, Chaozhou citrus has become a symbol of good luck.

During the New Year, the streets are very busy, and traditional entertainment programs such as "playing (singing) English songs", "dancing tigers and lions", "dancing golden dragons", "raising flags" and "flute sets and gongs and drums" add luster to the festival.

On the fourth day of April, the old woman at home and the temple priest in the temple prepared sacrifices and paper gifts to welcome all kinds of immortals to the world at the end of the year. That is the popular saying "Twenty-four divisions went to heaven, and four divisions landed".

(3) After the New Year-raise Qing Yu for a good year.

New Year's Eve, also known as the "annual opening", began on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Miancheng people have a slang, which goes like this:

On the fifth day of the fifth year, "the year begins"

On the sixth day, I ate a sledgehammer (a kind of fried food), on the seventh day, I ate seven kinds of shark soup, on the eighth day, I was a vegetarian, on the ninth day, I was born in the sky, and on the tenth day, I worshipped everyone (mother-in-law).

On the fifth day of the first month, it is called "annual opening", which means that the annual leave has come to an end. From this day on, the sacrifices and offerings since New Year's Eve and New Year can be removed. Such as "year-old turtles" hidden in rice bowls and rice barrels, and offerings placed on holy tables. The shop that closed a few years ago has reopened.

On the sixth day of the first month, every household in the old society had to eat a "sledgehammer", which is homophonic with "a lot", indicating that after eating it, the financial resources for the New Year were rolling in.

On the seventh day of the first month, commonly known as "People's Day", every household eats seven kinds of vegetables and cooks them together, namely celery, spinach, shallots and garlic.

Leek, mustard. As the saying goes, "You get old after eating seven kinds of soup."

On the eighth day of the first month, it is said that it is "the time when stars gather" in the sky. On this day, in order to show piety, people must fast (be vegetarian). Another way of saying it is that tomorrow is "the birthday in the sky", and you should take a bath and fast the day before.

It is said that the ninth day of the first month is the birthday of the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor is a god, and the hipsters call it "providence", so it is called "providence". However, there is another record: On New Year's Eve in the forty-third year of Ming Jiajing (1564), several Japanese invaders invaded Fujian, Guangdong and other southeast coastal areas, and the people who surrounded the furnace immediately fled up the mountain. Qi Jiguang, who led the troops south, was on the alert and immediately attacked, shooting thieves with rockets and sealing the estuary with soil cannons. More coincidentally, the wind roared, the thunder and lightning flashed and it rained cats and dogs. After eight days and eight nights of bloody fighting, the people and Qi Jiajun Qi Xin worked together to destroy the invading enemy and returned home in triumph. On the morning of the ninth lunar month, people go back to their homes, cook sweet pills to celebrate the reunion and pay homage to the fallen soldiers.

On the tenth day of the first month, the "daughter-in-law respects everyone" (mother-in-law). On this day, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get together and respect each other. In ancient times, a daughter-in-law must respect her in-laws, but her in-laws must give way. Therefore, there is a comic plot, so the influx of people nicknamed "the daughter-in-law hit everyone on the tenth day" and so on.

After the tenth day, people are ready to celebrate the Lantern Festival. South Australians celebrate the New Year.

The first day of the first month, commonly known as "New Year". Early in the morning, every household sets off firecrackers, commonly known as "opening the door" to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Vegetarian breakfast, worship Buddha and God.

Get rid of the habit of eating porridge every day. I want to eat dry food on this day, which means that it won't rain when I go out.

That's great. On this day, everyone should say auspicious words. Don't swear, don't sweep the floor, don't pour dirty water, don't cut with a knife, and don't ask others for debts. When a child breaks a plate, he should immediately say "Don't be jealous, don't overdo it" or "Open your mouth and you will have money". On the second day of the second year, families eat meat to worship their ancestors, commonly known as "shame." Familiar relatives and friends meet on the road and say "new glory and good luck" to each other. There is also a saying that "the first day is early, the second day is awkward, and the third day sleeps for half a day." On the fourth day of the fourth year, every family closed their eyes, firecrackers continued until midnight, and the incense in the temple was more vigorous. It was not until the fifth day, commonly known as "after the fifth day, everyone found a work class", that people began to work normally and effectively.
