Every nation has its own unique customs. "One year old cold firecrackers. The vernal equinox sends warmth to Tu Su. " During the Spring Festival, every household cleans up, that is, to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. I wonder what is the custom in your hometown? The following is a 600-word folk composition about my hometown that I collected for you. I hope you like it.

Not long ago, I learned the "Cold Food" written by Han Yi, and the saying that "Cold Food remembers the east wind and willows slanting" mentioned in the poem made me interested in the custom of "inserting willows".

By consulting the information, we know that inserting willows is the custom of the Cold Food Festival. Generally, the stems of plants are cut off, treated and inserted into the soil, so that each branch can take root and sprout and grow new plants. Why does the Cold Food Festival have the custom of inserting willows? This should also start from a story in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, there was a monarch named Zhong Er, and he had a loyal courtier named Jiezitui. When Zhong Er was young, he went into exile in other countries for fifteen years to avoid disaster, and Meson never left him. Once, because they didn't find food for many days, both of them were hungry. In desperation, Jiezitui cut off the' meat' on his thigh for Zhong Er to eat, which is the only way to tide over the difficulties. Later, Zhong Er returned to China smoothly, succeeded to the throne, and became a hero. Jiezitui didn't want to get anything in return, so she took her old mother to Mianshan to live in seclusion. Zhong Er personally went to Mianshan to ask mesons to push out of the mountain. Mesons push out of the mountain and don't want to meet each other. In desperation, Zhong Er released Yamakaji and tried to force him to show up. As a result, meson pushed his mother and was burned to death under a big willow tree. Zhong Er regretted it very much. In memory of him, he ordered meson not to make a fire to cook, eat cold food and insert willow branches on the day when he was pushed to death, which was called the Cold Food Festival.

Later, there was no compulsory cold food, but the custom of inserting willows prevailed among the people and has been passed down to this day. There is even a saying that "the beauty is white without wearing willows in Qingming Festival". In some places, wicker is placed under the eaves to forecast the weather, which is called: "Wicker rain; The wicker is dry, and it's sunny. "Some people find that willows grow where they are planted. There is a poem that says," You can't plant flowers with your heart, but you can't plant willows in the shade without your heart. " "

Willow used to be just a strange word, but now, it gradually becomes clear before my eyes. I am also looking forward to the day when I can feel the story of the Cold Food Festival and experience the pleasure of inserting willows. ...

A 600-word essay on hometown customs 2 "Food is the most important thing for the people." Su Dongpo once shouted, "No bamboo makes people vulgar, and no meat makes people thin." Not rotten or thin, bamboo shoots and pork. "Lao She also swaggering wrote:" Putting four copper peanuts in your pocket and eating them while walking, I feel more proud than Qin Shihuang. "So, it's not surprising that the Chinese nation has some traditional cultures related to eating: New Year's Eve dinner, Lantern Festival jiaozi, Qingming group worship ... and Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival began in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that when Qin Jun attacked Kyoto, Chu, Qu Yuan felt a sharp pain when he saw his motherland being invaded. After writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he threw himself into the river. After Qu Yuan's death, Chu people flocked to the Miluo River to pay homage to Qu Yuan, such as expelling fish. Since then, on the fifth day of May every year, there has been the custom of eating zongzi.

This tradition has been passed down to this day.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will wrap a few zongzi. My family is no exception.

A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival every year, I soak the leaves in water to make them soft. On the day when I started making zongzi, I took out the washed zongzi leaves, a pot of glutinous rice, a bowl of pork and some red beans and red dates and started construction.

First, I picked up a zongzi leaf and twisted it several times to make a funnel-shaped depression. Then I asked my grandmother to help me. I added a third of rice to the leaves of Zongzi, put one or two red dates and one or two pieces of meat, then covered the meat with rice and wrapped the rice with the remaining leaves and tails of Zongzi. At this time, pick up the thick thread and tie it tightly to prevent the rice from falling out of the rice leaves during cooking or squeezing the rice leaves when expanding.

Such a triangular zongzi is wrapped.

When angular green zongzi dangles in front of us happily, when sweet glutinous rice and red dates exude fragrance in transpiration, the distant Dragon Boat Festival legend is constantly singing. Dragon Boat Festival, like that zongzi, is sweet in China's mouth and in the hearts of Chinese people.

There are many famous traditional customs in China, such as eating jiaozi in the Spring Festival, glutinous rice balls in the Lantern Festival and zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival ... The most famous one is eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my mother invited many relatives to my house for dinner. In the afternoon, my mother is busy in the kitchen. However, due to the heavy workload, it was dragged into the "battlefield" helplessly. After entering the "battlefield", my mother began to assign tasks: she cooked and I made moon cakes. But I can't make moon cakes at all!

My mother guessed my mind and said, "I know you can't do it, so I did it halfway." You just need to knead the dough, put the stuffing in the dough, press it in the mold, and then take it out and bake it in the oven for a while. "

After that, my mother picked up a spatula and started cooking. I had to pick up the dough and start kneading it. I didn't expect the dough to harden when kneading. I realized that I had been rubbing it for too long. I began to think about the corresponding methods. "aye? I remember it seems that adding water is enough. " I finished talking to myself, then I poured some water on it and continued to rub it. The dough has softened. When it was almost kneaded, I cut the dough with a knife and saw that there were no bubbles. Ok, we can move on to the next step.

I first divide the dough into several small doughs, then dig a spoonful of stuffing into it, knead it into a circle, then wrap the stuffing with dough, then take out the moon cake mold, put the dough wrapped with stuffing into it, press it, and then take it out and bake it in the oven for half an hour. The moon cakes are ready.

The smell of baked moon cakes is so fragrant that the children next door must cry when they smell it.

Eating the delicious moon cakes I made, my uncle suddenly asked our children on a whim: How did the moon cakes come from? I thought about it and answered confidently, "It is said that moon cakes originated in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, General Li Jing conquered the Huns and won. A Turpan businessman presented moon cakes to Emperor Gaozu, and Tang Gaozu celebrated Li Jing's victory with them. " My relatives praised me for knowing a lot.

Ingenious, I made moon cakes, and I learned them clearly and learned them by heart. Then I will eat moon cakes with my friends and enjoy the moon. ...

My hometown is Xucun, Shexian County. Xucun is an ancient village with JOE family as the core, and I am a descendant of JOE family.

Among the customs of the Xu family, the most famous one is "dancing broadsword". Every night on the fifteenth day of the first month, the "power overlord" of the Xu family held a "broadsword" more than four meters high and danced all night! How can the hsu family have this custom? How did the Xu family establish this festival?

This should start from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there was a leader named Xu Jia. He was proficient in the art of war, with both wisdom and courage, and founded the Xujia Knife Method. During the Anshi Rebellion, Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun, commander-in-chief of reinforcements, bravely defended the country. His superb skill in using saber made the enemy frightened. In a battle, Xu Yuan took the lead in killing thousands of people. Finally, because they were outnumbered, they died heroically with Zhang Xun. In order to keep the Xu family's knife technique alive, and to commemorate this hero forever, people in Xu Cun jump broadsword on the 15th day of the first month every year, and this custom has been passed down till now.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the scene on the fifteenth night of the first month. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, all the men, women and children gathered at Gaoyang Bridge, Daguan Pavilion and Wumafang. About half an hour later, the chattering crowd suddenly quieted down and saw a big red knife "cut"! The dense crowd immediately "cut" a path, and then followed the broadsword. Excited people flocked to a wide field by the river, and the wonderful performance began: all departments were ready, and the tone similar to Beijing opera sounded. I saw four muscular strong men rushing up, one holding the handle and three pulling the rope tied to the back of the knife. The broadsword began to tilt and rotate rapidly, as if someone were waving it. After a while, they waved their broadswords up and down, sometimes slashing, sometimes slashing, and sometimes "chopping". A broadsword more than four meters long is really "easy" in their hands. Through the knife light, I seem to see Xu Yuan wielding a broadsword and killing the enemy like mowing the grass. ...

I don't know how long it will take, but my mother is taking me away, so I have to reluctantly say goodbye to broadsword.

Different winds in a hundred miles, different customs in a thousand miles. Although our Greater China has a vast territory, rich resources and tens of millions of customs and habits, what I like best is her Spring Festival, a good holiday for family reunion. She is the most traditional custom in our hometown and a good festival handed down by thousands of people in Qian Qian, China.

On the first day of the Spring Festival, every family happily sticks up Spring Festival couplets, sets off firecrackers and eats New Year's Eve dinner.

Legend has it that on the first day of every year, a monster named Nian appears in the mountains. He will come down from the mountain to eat the livestock in the village. Not only that, but even people will not let go. So people hide at home and dare not come out. Many brave people went to fight for the New Year, but they left forever. Once, a person hid at home and used bamboo to keep warm. Suddenly, the bamboo burst and made a loud noise, which shocked the outside world. People saw this scene, lit bamboo one by one, and finally succeeded in scaring it away. Later, people found that Nian animals were afraid of sound and set off firecrackers on the first day of the New Year. Since then, it has never been attacked during the New Year. On this day, people get together, set off firecrackers and put up Spring Festival couplets. People call it the New Year and celebrate the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, the day before the Spring Festival, adults will hang couplets and lanterns. They bought couplets and put them on the doorstep. The women cleaned the house and swept away the dust for a year. Children help adults as assistants. On this day, everyone is very busy. In the evening, the whole family sat together: parents who worked hard outside came back, children who studied outside came back, and some relatives who had not seen each other for a year came back, just to have a reunion dinner on this day and express their love for their families in the past year. Tonight, watching the Spring Festival Gala has become an indispensable program. The family sat around the TV, laughing and moving ... "The stars followed the moon and finally ushered in our most promising day. On the morning of the Spring Festival, children pay tribute to adults and say some auspicious words. Adults give children lucky money. The children were ecstatic. On this day, firecrackers continued and it was very lively. At noon, every family gets together to eat, chat, laugh and share the fruits and harvest of the year. In the afternoon, the old people get together to play cards, and adults take their children to play ... The Spring Festival is the most lively and joyful festival. 1993 is just a legend, but it brings people unlimited fun, unlimited warmth, unlimited expectations and unlimited dreams.
