Spring Festival in Hebei (about 250 words)

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and it is the grandest and most lively ancient festival in China. The festive atmosphere lasted for a month. As the biggest festival in China, we attach great importance to it. Most people who go out to work, study abroad, do business, etc. Go home and reunite with your family during the Spring Festival. Folk Spring Festival is more annual, but with the acceleration of modernization, many traditional Spring Festival customs are disappearing. Here is a record of the Spring Festival custom in Cangzhou, Hebei Province.

I recorded the memory of spending the Spring Festival in my hometown when I was a child.

1. Off-year rhetoric

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is designated as off-year, which means that off-year begins, and the main task of off-year is to "quit".

The so-called "quit cooking" is to send the kitchen god to heaven. I vaguely remember grandma saying, "Kitchen God, go west. Ride a horse and come in a sedan chair. Just say yes, don't say bad, and come back in seven days. " This is very particular. Why? In spring, because in the northern countryside, the kitchen god (paper image) is enshrined on the kitchen table wall on New Year's Eve. This offering was sent to the Western Heaven one year, that is, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month of the following year. Here is the kitchen god (paper image). When you burn, you should say something in your mouth, which grandma said when she gave the fairy. More importantly, honeydew melon. In other words, I am looking forward to the honeydew melon in the coming year. Honeydew melon is a kind of sugar product, white, made like pumpkin, small and sweet. Before sending the kitchen god to heaven, we should sacrifice honeydew melons, and at the same time, we should sacrifice some beans and firewood on the stove. Beans and firewood are for the horse of Kitchen God.

Why did you quit the kitchen with honeydew melon? This is because it is said among the people that after each kitchen god is sent to the Western Heaven, he will report to the Jade Emperor the situation of each family, the living conditions of this family, whether there is food waste and so on. Because every chef has lived (guarded) in this family for a year, he knows the situation of this family very well. In order to make the kitchen god only say good things, he will sacrifice honeydew melons to the kitchen. Because it's a sugar melon.

Another point is that on this day, every household steamed sticky cakes to worship the kitchen god. Sticky cakes include corn, glutinous rice, sorghum, and dates. It is said that steaming sticky cakes is also to stick the mouth of the kitchen god, so as not to speak ill of him in front of the jade emperor.

Two. God bless (you)

On the 30th, everyone got up early, which was a busy day. After breakfast, women are busy at home, and men take their children out to ask God.

The so-called "inviting God" means inviting God (an old friend of deceased parents and grandparents) to come home for the New Year at the intersection in the direction of ancestral graves.

When I was a child, I spent the Spring Festival in my hometown, so happy. Because on this day, children can wear new clothes for the New Year. Then I followed my father to ask God. The procedure of this day is probably like this:

After breakfast, housewives began to prepare tributes, mostly steamed bread, vegetables, pig's head or a chicken. When the hostess was preparing the tribute, the man took the children to paste couplets, hang the genealogy and concentrate on it. When all this is done, the host can take the children to see the gods.

Before asking God, bring good incense and firecrackers at home and hold the sign of asking God. This symbol is a portrait of a civilian, emphasizing "accepting martial arts dispatch". When you get to the intersection of Please God, you should set off firecrackers and burn portraits of civilians. Please go back to your grandparents and immortals. Burn incense after setting off firecrackers, hold incense all the way, and take your god home all the way. The important thing is. Only when you get home, put the "doorbar" at the gate and put incense in your own incense burner can you complete today's task. However, the fragrance must not be broken. When this incense is burned out, you should insert another one at once. This continued until New Year's Day. Some families continue to burn incense after it is folded.

As for the "doorstop stick", it is a wooden stick, the length of which should reach the width of one's own door, and then it should be wrapped with a paper wallet and tied with a red rope. It is said that it is to prevent other people's gods from coming to their home for the New Year.

When I was a child, I spent the New Year with my grandmother, who was very particular. She always tells me a lot, forbade me to talk nonsense, forbade me to drink cold water, forbade me to sleep during the day on New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school (it is said that if I sleep during the day these two days, I will be exhausted, groggy and lazy for a year), and forbade me to splash water in the yard. Don't make any noise in front of the genealogy and the whole idol ... more importantly, grandma wants me to burn incense. Grandma explained it this way: a girl who burns incense will find herself a good husband's family. So, I prayed to God to come back, and before that incense burned out, I immediately replaced it with another one. After that, grandma asked me to change the short incense, which would make me worship God more (kowtow more). I was smart then. Because it can be changed for a long time. However, I am still very attentive. Every time I change incense, I kowtow to my family tree and the whole idol seriously. When I was a child, I said to myself: I hope I can study hard and get into a good university ... When I am old, I sincerely say to this god: I hope I can give a good husband's family. ......

Hey hey.

On the afternoon of 30th, it was jiaozi's turn. When wrapping jiaozi, remember to wrap a sugar bag and a wallet. It is said that people who eat sugar will be in a sweet mood this year, and those who eat money will not be short of money this year. Others say that they can make money this year. ...

On New Year's Eve, families will get together for dinner. Then they watch the Spring Festival party, or there are activities in the village, that is, flowers, drums, gongs and lanterns.

About "lighting", it is the team organized by the village. In addition to setting off flowers and firecrackers, they will also put a pile of flammable things made of cottonseed pippi in front of each house when they swim to it. This is similar to the ever-burning lamp in front of the house, because cottonseed skin will burn for a long time. When I was a child, Grandpa always followed the team that put lights on, because he was the drummer in the village. When I grow up, I wear them.

Another point is the "reunion dinner". By spreading sesame stalks in your yard, it means that life is as high as sesame blossoms. It also means putting aside troubles and worries.

I haven't lived in my hometown for many years, so the years in my memory should still be like this.

3. New Year's Day

On New Year's Day, every household gets up very early, and some get up at four or five in the morning. This is the New Year!

It is said that people get up early and live a good life. However, with the increase of age, people no longer get up early. Most people get up around 6 o'clock, pack jiaozi, set off firecrackers and make sacrifices ... Women cook jiaozi first and make sacrifices everywhere, while men set off firecrackers in the yard with their children. To tell you the truth, I got up so early reluctantly and was always shouted by my mother. It's actually that early. I won't get old if I don't eat. I thought, why not get old? After the New Year, I will be one year older ... I don't talk much when I eat jiaozi. I remember once I said a word; There are so many jiaozi, you can't eat them all. There's nothing left! I was glared at by my grandmother. From then on, when I spent the New Year with my grandmother, I became extremely cautious. Later, my grandmother explained that when I ate jiaozi, all the immortals ate with us, so I couldn't talk nonsense. I was dumbfounded when I was talking nonsense, and I prayed in my heart: fairies, consider me young and ignorant. .....

After eating the first day, jiaozi began to pay a New Year call. My family and friends should take a walk, and girls don't participate in the New Year's greetings. At that time, I watched my brother and my uncle's brothers go out to pay New Year's greetings. Fortunately, I am a girl. The so-called New Year greeting means walking around the village, string together, and getting together at almost eleven o'clock. Then, women began to withdraw their confessions. I used the military attache's picture to send it to God.

It's delicious to spend the Spring Festival in the countryside, because firecrackers ring all the time from the night of the 30 th to the first day of the first year. Very lively.

Another pressure is that the married daughter can't go back to her parents' home on the first day, because there is a saying that her father-in-law died after reading her parents' confession. Therefore, it is impossible for a married daughter to spend the New Year with her parents. After the first day, she can go home and pay a New Year call to her parents.

The next day is the day to go to the grave, and distant relatives will come to visit their dead relatives.

Four. Take five minutes.

The fifth day of the first month is commonly known as the fifth day. Many taboos can be broken after folklore tells them on this day. It is not appropriate to do anything on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, otherwise something will happen this year. This day is suitable for business people to start business, which means welcoming the god of wealth.

In our hometown, the day of breaking five is also very particular. I just can't stop by. Grandma was very annoying at that time. I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, it is taboo to have someone at home on this day. Then, on this day, every household cooks jiaozi. This little man is made of flour. He pinches out his head, then cuts off his arms and legs with a knife and cooks with jiaozi. Some people eat arms, others eat legs. It is said that they will not commit villains. At that time, I liked to eat the heads of little people. I thought the villain was the villain, because of his thinking, so I ate his head and made him unable to think.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) about Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival is the same in most places, that is, eating Yuanxiao. But there is also an exquisite lantern in the country, which takes three days. It is said that these three days are: ghost lamp, human lamp and magic lamp. So at that time, grandma would go out to burn incense every night and put it in the gate and yard.

After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival has basically passed. I just started school.

Sixth, proverbs

In rural areas, Chinese New Year is very particular. I remember my grandmother always said: Sesame on the first day, hemp on the second day, sorghum on the fourth day, five grains and six beans, seven potatoes and eight wheat, nine fruits and ten vegetables ... Every day represents a crop. If the weather is fine on this day, that crop will be harvested this year.

Seven. A program about festivals

In our area, walking on stilts and playing with lions are the most exquisite and can be said to be the best. Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts. As we all know, people can walk from ninety-nine to the next, which is the martial arts in Cangzhou area. The tricks and wonderful performances of playing with lions are also worthy of attention. When I was a child, I was very afraid that lions would pounce on me. I always thought those people were real. I can't see the people inside. The lion clothes they wear are in harmony with the appearance of lion skin. Unlike some performances, the lion skin is simply for people to see, and it is only when people grow up that they know it is performed by people.

Another thing worth noting is dry boat running. These rural programs are vivid to me, although I haven't been in my hometown for many years.

Eight, about Tian's birthday

The 25th day of the first lunar month is Tian's birthday, which is also the birthday of farmland. On this day, we should also pack cotton from jiaozi, and at the same time, we should also pack cotton bags in the shape of jiaozi and wrap them into quadrangles. When cooking jiaozi, the cotton harvest will be good this year if the bales are facing upwards, and the harvest will not be good if the bales are facing downwards. ......

On Tian's birthday, every household should "hoard". The so-called hoarding is to collect the crop straw ash when cooking at home, use a dustpan, scatter the shapes in your yard, mostly in the shape of fields, sprinkle a few more, put the fruits of crops in the middle of Tian Zi, and then press them with bricks. Some families want to scatter a money hoard in the bedroom, and some use bricks to press money. .......

The Spring Festival in rural China is still very particular. I haven't spent the Spring Festival in my hometown for many years, and I miss the Spring Festival custom in my hometown very much. I hope these customs can continue after they are recorded.
