Four, practice content

In the process of social practice, I investigated the cultural practices of the Spring Festival in Yuanjiang City in terms of food, recreation and traditional activities.

The Spring Festival is an ancient festival in China, and also the most important festival of the year, how to celebrate this festival, in the development of thousands of years of history, the formation of a number of relatively fixed customs and habits, but the customs of each region are not the same. According to the survey, xx city's Spring Festival customs can be summarized as follows: twenty-three, hit the dust, send the God of the stove;

1, twenty-four, over the small New Year: twenty-nine, paste the Spring Festival Couplets; New Year's Eve thirty boiled a night; the first cub, the first two Lang, the first three or four to worship the neighbors; New Year's Eve, the sixth, the store open; seven do not go, eight do not return; the first month of the fifteenth, hanging lanterns.

2, twenty-three, playing dust, send the God of the stove: playing dust means cleaning.

Generally, this kind of cleaning is usually not too much to do, but wait until the New Year's Eve, you have to clean the room thoroughly. The Hunanese word for "hit the dust". Every time I do this on the 23rd, the most important thing is to clean the windows, especially the outdoor side. The dust accumulated in a year should be cleaned up on this day, better to meet the new year.

In addition to cleaning, it is the sacrifice of the God of the stove. Every family should clean the stove, table, pots and pans, put a couplet next to the image of the god of the stove, and offer tribute in front of the stove, my family usually use incense and oil, but there are also candies and so on. The whole family should make a wish at this time.

3, twenty-four, the small year: about the small year, xx around the time of some differences.

xx and most other areas of the lunar calendar as the twenty-fourth Lunar New Year for the "small year", xx and other places to twenty-three for the "small year", while xx and other places to the first month of the fifteenth day for the "small year". The first day of the first month of the year is called the "New Year" in xx and other places. However, my family's New Year is the twenty-fourth day of the year. The New Year's Eve is the opening ceremony of the New Year's Eve, and from this day onwards, the festive atmosphere continues until the Lantern Festival. From this day on, the table will be big fish and meat constantly, until after the Lantern Festival.

4, twenty-nine, posting spring couplets: the Spring Festival has a long history of posting couplets.

Couplets originated from the ancient peach symbols. The Qing people said in the "Yanjing Years and Years": "Spring Festival couplets, that is, peach symbols also. Since the wax, that is, there are writers and artists in the street writing spring couplets, in order to run the pen. After the sacrificial stove, it is gradually sticky hanging, thousands of doors and tens of thousands of households, a new look." Spring Festival couplets can best reflect the atmosphere of the Spring Festival celebrations.

5, the New Year's Eve to stay up a night: the family reunion to get together and drink, dishes have surplus and leftovers, called eating New Year's Eve dinner.

The time to eat is indeterminate, from the early hours of the morning to twelve o'clock in the evening can be, during this time will be heard everywhere there are firecrackers, indicating that it is which family began to eat New Year's Eve dinner.

Speaking of firecrackers here, the Spring Festival firecrackers is an ancient folk custom, has a history of more than 1,000 years. In the old days, there are two meanings of firecrackers, one is to drive away the ghosts to welcome the gods, praying for a good harvest: the second is to increase the festive atmosphere of joy. Now it's more about increasing the festive atmosphere.

But now many cities ban whip, invariably weakened the New Year's atmosphere, but Hunan many places on New Year's Eve has never banned whip. New Year's Eve this evening, we have to put three firecrackers: one is to eat New Year's Eve dinner when put, meaning to tell people to eat New Year's Eve dinner: once again in the New Year's bells ringing is to put, meaning that the old and welcome the new; the other is the morning open the door to put, said to usher in a new and wonderful year.

6, the first pup, the first two Lang, the first three, the first four to worship the neighborhood: this saying is the first day of the year son to bring his wife and son to their parents to pay tribute to the New Year; and the second day of the New Year is a family back to his mother's home to the in-laws to pay tribute to the New Year: the third and the first four neighborhoods to pay tribute to each other.

As the saying goes, "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor". Hunan people are especially polite and often treat people with love. In the past few days, neighbors have been out of their homes, wishing each other "a lively year". The host will set off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.

7, the sixth day of the New Year, the store open: the sixth day of the sixth take the meaning of the six six, a lot of businessmen will choose to open the door on this day, to wish in the new year, business is booming, the source of wealth into the world. At the same time, some people working in the field will also choose this day to work away from home, folk proverb: "three six nine, go out", so these days civil aviation, railroads, highways and other transportation systems will greatly increase the flow of people.

8, seven do not go, eight do not return: to the first seven eight, Hunan people talk about "seven do not go (read ke go sound, hometown pronunciation), eight do not return" 'means that the first seven do not go out, the first eight do not go home. The day of the eighth, "eight" take "hair" meaning, factories work, business, all activities are back to normal. In the future, acquaintances to meet each other, said "please pay a late year!"

9, the first month of the fifteenth, hanging lanterns: the first month of the fifteenth, the ancient name of the festival, also known as the Festival of Lights.

There is a saying: "The fire of the 30th night, the lanterns of the Lantern Festival". Lantern Lantern Lanterns are mostly gimlet-paper lanterns, some hanging on the roof of the door, some are hand-carried to the street. On this day, every family lights candles in the corner of the stove, and every household cooks Lantern Festival dumplings. At night will be bustling, whether adults and children will be holding lanterns on the street to catch the temple, singing opera, lion dance dragon, riding bamboo horse and other spring cultural activities, as well as guessing riddles, etc., is usually noisy all night, so the name of the Lantern Festival.

One of the most common to dance dragon lanterns, the countryside of the dragon dance team is the most, the folk believe that playing the dragon can keep Qingji, so the "dragon" wherever, drums and music, firecrackers, everyone will give more than a red envelope. Hunan people to pay homage to the New Year, see the dragon lanterns, firecrackers, in addition to singing flower-drum opera, as for the first month of the fifteenth to eat the Lantern Festival this point all over the country the same right, not to say more.

V. Practical Summary

The Spring Festival is a festival of family reunion for the Chinese nation, and people return home to their loved ones as much as possible on the day of the Spring Festival to express their ardent hope for the coming year and their good wishes for the new year.

The Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also an important vehicle for Chinese people to release their emotions and satisfy their psychological demands, as well as an annual carnival for the Chinese people and an eternal spiritual pillar. Over the years, with the development of science and technology, there are many opportunities for distant family members and friends to meet or communicate with each other, so the reunion of the Spring Festival has become less important to people.

But the Spring Festival is still one of the most special holidays in my heart, the reunion in this period of time seems to have a more festive and auspicious feeling, perhaps this contains my wishes for the new year in the Spring Festival every year. Finally, I wish you all a happy new year!

Summary of practice:

Spring Festival, in addition to some **** the same customs across the country, each place has its own regional color. Such as the Northeast of the Spring Festival customs in addition to the same as many areas in the north, itself retained some ancient customs. In recent years, there have been a lot of debates in society about traditional folk customs. Some people believe that we should change our customs and change with the times.

But opponents believe that if the previous customs are changed, the festival will not be like a festival, not conducive to the inheritance and development of traditional culture. Some people have suggested that if all firecrackers are not set off, then New Year's Eve is still like New Year's Eve? Because of this, so some cities in the ban on fireworks and firecrackers, and then changed to a conditional open ban.

Because of the different values, preferences, encounter specific things, each person will have their own choice and judgment. We might as well adopt a tolerant attitude towards traditional practices and allow everyone to keep their own views and practices.

With the development of society, when the majority of people's understanding converges, it is natural to keep up with the times. If the so-called new policies and concepts are implemented on the basis of ideals alone without regard to the reality and psychology of the people, they will be resisted by the masses. The form and content of traditional customs will change with the passage of time, we can only take advantage of the situation and go with the flow ......
