Article 1: Zhongyuan Festival Essay I love the festival

The teacher said that the half of July is also called "Ghost Festival" and "Zhongyuan Festival", which is a festival for people to worship their ancestors, and it is also a day for family reunion. The half of July falls on July 15th. However, I doubt the teacher's words, because my family's Mid-Yuan Festival begins on the ninth day of the seventh month.

At the beginning of July, my family would start preparing for the July Half Ghost Festival - writing packets. I could never remember what to call my deceased grandma and grandpa, so my mom would patiently teach me. She said that when you write a bag, you should call your grandma great-grandma, grandpa grandpa grandpa, and end it with the title of "oldest man", and if you are a woman, you should end it with the title of "oldest woman".

After writing the bag is to count the paper money to load and seal the bag.

In the morning of the ninth day of the seventh month, my family will start to do other preparations. For example, we would wipe the table clean, pour out the sand and ash from the incense burner, buy the paper money for the festival, cardboard boxes, and fruits and melons for worship.

In the evening, my family will place the table in the center of the hall, and the incense burner will be placed on the top of the table with some sand. The incense burner is placed on the top of the table, and a bench is placed on the left, right and bottom of the table. On the side of the table facing the door, a square step will be tied above the legs of the table, and if we want to burn paper money, we have to pass it from both sides of the cloth to the basin under the table.

By the time the preparation was finished, after dinner and a bath our family would be led by our father to go outside to "receive guests". Dad's hand will hold a few incense and candles, some paper money, while walking, while the mouth reciting words, seems to say "xxx to take you back to see" and so on ......

After walking to a certain distance will begin to insert incense and candles on the ground or on a small mound of soil, and then light firecrackers. and then lighting firecrackers. After the firecrackers are lit, we have to bow and worship our ancestors.

Back home, eat some fruits and vegetables, this first day of receiving guests is completed. And this night, the incense in the incense burner on the eight-imperial table can not be broken, to be burned until the next day.

The next day, is to receive relatives and "send guests" to the festival. On this day, on the Baxian table should be set on the small tea cups, from time to time to offer hot tea. After the offering, we have to finish drinking the tea. And, during this time, we cannot touch the bench.

At noon, our family's usual custom is to eat noodles, and the noodles made by my mom are very delicious, especially the bashfulness, which is particularly fragrant. Even I, who don't like noodles, would eat all the noodles in the bowl on this day.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, my mom would start cooking dinner; and at four-thirty or five o'clock, the relatives would send a few people to bring the packets or cardboard boxes written by the families to the place where the guests inserted incense and candles and started to burn the packets.

After that, we wait for the ancestors to "finish" the food offered on the table, then we remove the cloth tied on the table legs, remove the incense burner, and start eating around the table. After the meal, the relatives will go home to make preparations for their family's Mid-Yuan Festival, while our family will again set up incense and candles, offerings of fruits and melons, and wait until the end of the sacrifice, this Mid-Yuan Festival is considered to be the past.

Last night after dinner, I went to the street with my mom to exercise, and the "scenery" on the road scared me a lot.

The sky is gradually darkened, the road pedestrians and the day than, but also a lot less. However, a smooth road on both sides of the street, but the fire is dazzling, smoke in the sky.

Almost from 20 meters, there is a pile. More than 20 meters away, there is a pile. Road on both sides of the "landscape" are the same, a moment of effort, fire in the sky, smoke straight up, the surrounding air is instantly filled with smoke and fire flavor. From time to time interspersed with the burning of paper at the same time put some cigarettes, incense, wine and fruit offerings. Unfortunately, a big tree suffered. A man squatted next to the tree and put down about a cubic meter of paper, a bottle of liquor, a bundle of incense, and a box of cigarettes. The person who put it down also drew a circle next to it. Then chanting do not know what to say, and then lit a paper, I saw the first lit paper and a pile of burnt paper is not the same. I asked my mom what happened. Mom said: "that paper should be matter envelope, first sent over, in the burning paper, so that the relatives in hell can receive this side of the relatives to send money". Listening to my mom said colorful, I can not help but feel a burst of fear. Pulling my mom toward the house. That person has begun to light the other burning paper, I feel the big tree in pain moaning ......

Back home, I went online to check the legend about the Ghost Festival, there is really such a record: July 15 of the lunar calendar is the biggest festival in the netherworld - the Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan Festival or Bon Festival, is one of the three important festivals of the underworld in China.

In the morning, the alarm clock "ringing" sound from the beauty of the dream "wake up", I rubbed the sleepy eyes, inadvertently looked at the calendar, today is August 24th, the following is also labeled "I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I asked my mom what the Chinese New Year's Day was. My mom told me that the Mid-Yuan Festival is a day for people to honor their ancestors. Oh, I see, I suddenly realized: no wonder my mom often folded yuan treasure recently!

By noon, we were all busy: I was in charge of folding paper, and my dad and mom were in charge of cooking. I came to the table (on the table with the paper I should fold today), oh, my God! I was shocked to see that the stack of paper on the table was 3 centimeters thick, so I started working on it right away.

The Mid-Yuan Festival is a day of ancestor worship. We must not forget: without the hard work of our ancestors, we can not live in today's happy and beautiful days! Zhongyuan Festival is the Taoist saying, "Zhongyuan" name from the Northern Wei Dynasty, some places commonly known as the "ghost festival", "Shi Ku", also known as the Festival of the Dead, half of the seventh month. According to the ancient book records: "Taoist scriptures to the first month of the 15th for the first yuan, July 15 for the middle yuan, October 15 for the lower yuan.

Since the Shang Dynasty, China has been a great believer in ghosts and gods. Although there were gods and goddesses of the heavens and the earth in addition to the human and the ghost, the "human and the ghost" was the center of their beliefs.

On the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the gates of the Hell Gate are opened, releasing a number of unchallenged ghosts into the realm of the living to enjoy the offerings of the people. On the last day of July, before the gates of hell are closed again, the ghosts have to return to the underworld. This is why July is also known as the month of ghosts.

The story of Megarian's rescue of his mother: Among the Buddha's disciples, Megarian, who was the first of the Buddha's magical powers, was thinking of his mother, who had passed away, and with his magical powers, he saw that because of her greed and karma, she had fallen into the path of the evil ghosts after her death, and lived a life of not having enough to eat. Meganeleon then used his divine power to turn food into food and gave it to his mother, but her mother did not change her greed, and when she saw the food coming, she was afraid that other evil spirits would snatch the food, and with her greed, the food immediately turned into coals of fire in her mouth, and she was unable to swallow it. Although Megane Lotus has the power of God, as a human son, but can not save his mother, very painful, ask the Buddha how to do.

The Buddha said, "The 15th of July is the last day of the summer retreat, the law is full of goodness, on this day, the basin Luo hundred flavors, for the monk, the merit is immeasurable, you can rely on this compassion, save his mother." This is the origin of Taiwan Pudu worship "good brother".

Mom and dad at home to prepare dinner, my brother and I followed relatives with paper bags, cardboard boxes, etc. to the field to start burning bags.

The children and I were responsible for sweeping away the nearby branches and leaves so that they would not be burned elsewhere.

Episode 6: Mid-Yuan Festival Essay My Favorite Festivals

Whenever I see river lanterns floating in the wind all over the water, I think of one of the traditional Chinese festivals, the Mid-Yuan Festival.

The Mid-Yuan Day is July 15, and before that day, farm women make all kinds of face molds to give away. It has become a program for peasant women to show their dexterity on the 15th of July.

On that day, people also worship the land and crops. Offerings are scattered into the fields. After burning the paper, it is then wrapped around the spikes of crops with colorful paper cut into strips. It is said to avoid hailstorms and get a big fall harvest.

That night, we would go to release the river lanterns. First, we would take out the lanterns, which looked like small canopies, then we would put a candle at the base, and finally we would put the lanterns into the water in an upright position.

At this point, I then turned my attention to the people, whose faces were illuminated by the melting orange light, some eyes closed tightly, praying for blessings, revealing an aura of peace and quiet.

The boundary between the earth and the lake was shrouded in night, not so clear, but ten thousand lights dug a brilliant tunnel, and they draped the lake like a coat adorned with red diamonds. I walked along the lake, are almost dazzled, river lights are lotus style, pink, light blue, goose yellow, flaxen ...... all kinds of colors intertwined, through the hazy smoke and mist, in the dark water waves, dyeing a ripple. Restless scaly waves glistened orange and yellow, traveling like shuttles between the sunken moon and the silhouettes of people, stirring up a lake full of broken gold. All living things melted in this warm orange color.

Unconsciously, the Mid-Yuan Festival slipped away in the night. The Day of the Middle Ages, the festival I love.
