Write a short essay of not less than 200 words about the customs of the Spring Festival.

When I mentioned the custom of the Spring Festival, my first thought was not to eat jiaozi and set off firecrackers, but to follow my elders to see the screaming column that killed pigs. Now when I think of Nianwei, it will always be associated with childhood memories.

When I was a child, I would go back to my grandfather's house every Spring Festival. My grandfather is a man who is very persistent about customs. Every year, various ceremonies are held.

Eat pig-killing vegetables in the New Year, chop the pork into a pot, add water and salt, and put it in a big basin with sauerkraut and blood sausage. I didn't think it was delicious when I was a child, but the adults seemed to be looking forward to it. When a steaming dish was served, everyone was very excited, so we were also excited.

At that time, my brothers were going to follow my grandfather into the mountains to worship their ancestors, and a group of our wives were waiting at home. At that time, I was still young and had no fear of the ceremony. I just think it's funny or not.

What I like best is that my elders will take me to the market to make Spring Festival couplets, and they will also buy frozen pears, frozen persimmons, red lanterns and crisp candy for a group of children. Frozen pears and persimmons are hard to chew, but we still endure and try our best to taste their sweetness. In the evening, we chased around the yard with lanterns in one hand and shortbread in the other. We don't know what we are chasing, and we don't know why we are chasing, but we are happy to run around aimlessly like that.
