A composition of 1000 words on the traditional culture of China.

There are China traditions, including couplets, China Zodiac, paper-cuts, and pictures and words of traditional festivals in China. Among them, I like traditional festivals best, because I am very interested in traditional festivals.

Among the traditional festivals I am interested in, the Spring Festival is my favorite, because it is the biggest traditional festival among the people in China. Spring Festival generally refers to New Year's Eve and the first day of the first month, also known as the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year", and also symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hope for the future.

During the Spring Festival, the shopping malls are crowded with people, and people are busy buying new year's goods, which can be very lively. Grandma prepared rich food, the children put on new clothes, and firecrackers sounded outside. My mother bought a lot of fireworks. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, beautiful fireworks were reflected in my heart, which made me feel happy.

There are many customs in the Spring Festival, and New Year greetings are one of the most important activities. On the first day of the new year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other a great success in the coming year. There are many ways to pay New Year's greetings, some of which are led by the same patriarch from door to door. Some colleagues invited several people to pay New Year greetings; Others get together to congratulate each other. This is called "group worship". Because it is time-consuming and laborious to pay New Year greetings at home, they later congratulated each other with stickers, thus developing the later "New Year cards".

When paying New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to their elders and wish them health and longevity. The elders can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money. There are two kinds of lucky money, one is to put a colored rope in the shape of a dragon and put it at the foot of the bed; The other is the most common, that is, parents wrap the money distributed to their children in red paper. Lucky money can be given in public after the younger generation pays New Year's greetings, or it can be secretly put under the child's pillow by parents when the child falls asleep on New Year's Eve. It is still very popular for elders to give lucky money to younger generations.

Sticking Spring Festival couplets is also one of the customs of the Spring Festival. Spring Festival couplets are also called door couplets, spring stickers, couplets, couplets and peach symbols. It depicts the background of the times and expresses good wishes with neat, dual, concise and exquisite words, which is a unique literary form in China. Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should choose a pair of red Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door to add festive atmosphere to the festival. This custom originated in the Song Dynasty and was popular in the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, the ideological and artistic quality of Spring Festival couplets had been greatly improved.

There are many kinds of Spring Festival couplets, which can be divided into door heart, frame pair, cross string, spring strip and bucket square according to the place of use. The "door core" is attached to the center of the upper end of the door panel; The "door frame pair" is attached to the left and right door frames; "Cross-dressing" is posted on the crossbar of the door; "Spring strips" are posted in corresponding places according to different contents; "Doujin", also known as "door leaf", is a square diamond that is often attached to furniture.

The traditional festivals in China are really colorful. They are the culture of China.

These traditional festivals also bring us joy and happiness, so we should remember these festivals and inherit them forever. China's traditional culture is a splendid ancient culture. As a new generation, we should strengthen our study and vigorously carry forward these traditional cultures in China.
