According to legend, in Archaean times, there was a fierce monster called Nian. Its mouth is big, as big as an ox, and it is extremely cruel. Years often come out to harm people. When the gods knew this, they locked Nian in the mountains and allowed it to come out only once a year. On New Year's Eve, Nian came out again. It came to the door of a family, which happened to be dressed in red and was burning brightly in the stove. Inadvertently, the child of that family knocked a basin off the cabinet with a clash. Nian was scared away. People all know that Nian is afraid of fire, noise and red.
Since then, at the end of each year, people have put up red couplets instead of red clothes, set off firecrackers instead of sound, hung red lights and lit flourishing fires instead of fire. Over time, the custom of Chinese New Year has been formed.
This is a short story about the Spring Festival. I like the Spring Festival, and I prefer this little story about it.
2. Write a composition for the festival, what a warm word; Festival, what a happy name; Holidays, what wonderful words.
In the early morning, I heard firecrackers echoing in this bustling city. People coming and going in the street are smiling, and my mother is busy calling relatives far away to congratulate ... everything is beaming.
The daytime is the busiest time. Adults are busy in the kitchen, and they have to take care of visiting guests.
I especially like the night of the Spring Festival.
When night falls, the surrounding clouds are infected by the brilliance of the sunset. A little orange and a little red are enough to make a cloud beautiful. The sky is completely shrouded in darkness. At this time, there will be beautiful fireworks blooming in the shady scene, with different shapes, such as heart-shaped, round and irregular, which will dazzle you. Whew! Another firework flies in the sky, then blooms and disappears. ...
Everything is beautiful, but beautiful things often don't last long. They only stop for a minute, then die in the wonder of others, open as quickly as epiphyllum, and then disappear in wonder and praise; Like a meteor, a beautiful spark suddenly disappeared from its formation in the blink of an eye; Like lightning, it shines brightly on the shady scene but disappears in an instant;
Of course there is a reunion dinner on holidays. When the family is together, the table is full of food, and adults and children are happy. What a beautiful scenery it is. At this time, I understood that even if good things don't last long, we should learn to cherish and protect them.
Holiday, let me learn to cherish.
3. Write a composition for the festival. Autumn leaves have gradually faded, but the footsteps of winter have inadvertently left traces on the branches. Standing in front of the window, listening to the gentle drizzle, watching the childhood memories piled up with adobe and blue tiles, the wet palms covered some sour noses, and those interesting childhood stories were printed in the bottom of my heart, just like the tip of the tongue gently touching the cold taste, which made us hard to let go for a long time.
I remember when I was a child, the strong flavor of the New Year always began with the first sound of my father lighting firecrackers. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, we children don't have to mention how eager we are to look forward to it. The elders leaned happily on the steps of the gate and looked around. But I used to know that their sly mood of welcoming the New Year hidden in their hearts was completely exposed by themselves. Their rough hands are in their pockets, and occasionally they take out things they don't want to eat, such as candy and peanuts, and hold them in their hands for a large group of children to eat, but these were years ago.
Usually, one day before the Spring Festival is called "offering sacrifices to stoves", which seems to be a prelude to the arrival of the New Year. On this day, all ages are not allowed to lie in bed, and the new year's goods should be ready before this day. Children will seriously learn the way adults work and clean the kitchen. Remember when I was a child, the "stove" was not like this. It is made of adobe and stone and has no gas smell. By burning straw to get heat, the whole stove is black, and there are still many ash scales on the bottom of the iron pot. At this time, dad had to remove it bit by bit with a shovel. When kerosene lamps gradually become history in memory, it seems that we will always remember his black and dirty coat. On this day, my father will replace the kitchen lamp with a new one, saying that it is a respect for the kitchen god, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the coming year.
For this day, there is a common saying in the village that the whole family must go home before midnight on this day. Whether you are in a foreign land or living in a foreign land, the Spring Festival is coming and it is time for family reunion. Children who don't come back are disrespectful to their ancestors and will be mercilessly accused by their elders of speaking for them.
Another big event before the Spring Festival is that my mother will give us sisters some shoes to try on, which she sewed herself. Nano cloth shoes are also very delicate. They need to be spread on the cloth with paste, dried first, and then cut into shoe molds. At that time, all the shoes we wore at home were sewn by my mother, which was much stronger than the sports shoes now. When various brands of sports shoes and casual shoes are flooding the streets today, it is difficult for us to see the shadow of those shoes that were once full of affection, but it has increased a lot of brand-name fever.
On the Spring Festival, I put on new shoes and had a small reunion dinner, so it's time to post couplets. I remember writing couplets for several years! According to the relationship between level and level, I can always write a good picture.
On Chinese New Year's Day, the most interesting thing for us children is to pay New Year's greetings after Chinese New Year's Eve.
Su Chang, I will go to my elder's home first, and then I can visit the New Year at will. When I was a child, it seemed that it would snow heavily every Spring Festival. New Year's Eve, although the weather is a little cold, our hearts are always warm under the thick cotton-padded clothes. Seven or eight children will form a group, each holding a small and exquisite lantern, which is said to be a good way to light up the dark road, but from a distance, it is really a little imposing for the New Year!
My lantern was tied by my father with a bamboo stick, covered with colored paper and twisted with half a circle of wire. Careful parents will also ask people to draw the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and brag about the picture of chasing the sun on it, which looks particularly beautiful.
That little lantern with a faint light, along the childhood building, unconsciously evokes too many stories from the bottom of my heart, and constantly impacts our inner defense line like a raging flood: today's Spring Festival, without the shadow of heavy snow, seems to be mercilessly deprived of the right to speak in the cold winter. People who are in a hurry are deserted, and the warmth and affection brought by lanterns are passed on the phone. It is difficult to see the back of children carrying lanterns in the bustling crowd in the street. You and I are both familiar with being carried away by love.
Today, recalling the taste of Chinese New Year when I was a child gave me this long-lost feeling, and I had an epiphany: in a crowded city, we should keep a small heart in our hearts and make it a post station after you are busy. Calm down, taste and feel slowly, open long-forgotten memories, bend down gently, listen to your heartbeat and let go of your free mood. ...
Go, listen, remember, taste ... and savor the taste of Chinese New Year.
4. The process of celebrating a festival is the first day of the first lunar month every year, which is the New Year of the China lunar calendar. Among the traditional festivals in China, it is the most important and lively one. Because celebrating the Lunar New Year is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, people also call it the Spring Festival. China people have many traditional customs to celebrate the Spring Festival. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people began to prepare for the New Year. During this time, every household should clean up. Stick grilles hung New Year pictures, wrote Spring Festival couplets, steamed rice cakes, prepared all kinds of delicious food, and prepared to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. New Year greeting is a traditional folk custom in China, and it is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and express their best wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "Happy New Year" was to pay a New Year call to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating the elderly on a happy New Year, and greeting their health and so on. First of all, we should pay New Year greetings to our elders and wish them a long and healthy life and all the best. After they are worshipped, we should distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. The eve of the Spring Festival is called "New Year's Eve". New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion. The family sat together, ate a big dinner, talked and laughed until dawn. It's called keeping old. People also eat jiaozi when the bell rings at 0: 00 on New Year's Eve. In ancient times, it was called zero. On New Year's Eve, people eat jiaozi, which means "making friends when you are young". This is also the origin of the name "jiaozi". After New Year's Eve, it's New Year's Day. From the first day, people should visit relatives and friends and pay New Year greetings to each other. This is an important custom of the Spring Festival. During the New Year, everyone should say some auspicious words to wish happiness and health.
5. Write a composition for the festival. "Tonight, I'm looking forward to it. I don't know who Qiu Si is. "
On this moonlit night, your proud figure seems to be in the depths of gorgeous moonlight, graceful and ethereal, exuding the arrogance and indifference of life, dancing in the glow, illuminating the whole world on both sides.
On such a moonlit night, walking in the empty fog full of frost and moon, the night is filled with refreshing air, and people comforted by the gorgeous care of the full moon are filled with happiness; How many lives and lovesickness twinkle in the ripples and waves of missing? How many people rehearse the joy, happiness, health, beauty and freedom of life on such a night? On such a moonlit night, how many people are thinking about the people returning home, and how many people are in the glory of the moonlight-thinking about the singing of ancient and modern bright moons, the human tragicomedy of joys and sorrows, and the touching stories of truth, beauty and ugliness in the bustling market.
Such a moonlit night is easy to imagine in the romantic sea, easy to talk to the ancients for thousands of years, and easy to miss the same flesh and blood. Wang Wei's "One person is missing every time" and Su Dongpo's "Wish people a long time, a thousand miles * * *" tells the story of how many people dream of, but they are helpless and infinitely beautiful; "The willow shoots on the moon, people meet after dusk", walking in the romantic and warm moonlight, sweet and reverie; "The foot of my bed is shining with such bright light. Is it frosty already? I was fascinated by the moonlit night in my hometown, sitting around my old grandmother, listening to the touching stories of WU GANG, Chang 'e, Jade Rabbit and Heaven and Earth. On the moonlit night of "Until, raise my cup, I ask the bright moon to bring my shadow to me and let the three of us", the brightness of the full moon shines like silver, making the sky and the earth look particularly empty.
In the prosperity of this city, rows of buildings have imprisoned the aura of thousands of lights, and the beautiful images in the window only appear graceful when there is a full moon. "past lives is round again", I can't help thinking, wandering in the moonlight, enjoying the beauty, purity and romance of the moonlight. It seems that there is a kind of sadness and beauty stirred by romantic feelings on such a night; Aroused the yearning and longing in the depths of the soul, sent to the other side of the sea, the feelings on the other side, the local accent on the other side, the flesh and blood on the other side, and the wanderer on the other side; On this Mid-Autumn Moon Night, the moon is far away from me, and it shines in my shadow. At this time, the horizon is * * *.
"How wide the world is, how close the trees are to heaven, and how close the moon is to the water!" (Meng Haoran) The trees in the vast wilderness are swaying, the clear water reflects the moon, and the heaven and the earth set off. "The moon in the sky is in the water, and the moon in the water is in the sky"; Heaven and earth complement each other and form a wonderful moonlight landscape painting.
Walking in such a hazy moonlight, flying the wings of imagination, thinking about the romance of love, the ups and downs of life, the struggle between you and me on the street map, and the bright moon on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Yue Fei's "good mountains and good water are not enough to see, and the horseshoe is green to the moon." Loyal to the country, regardless of personal safety, the majestic knight flew past my contemplative eyes.
In this world, there are many grievances, many successes, many joys, and many smoke clouds floating across the post station of life that we pursue and struggle enthusiastically. Behind our happiness and pain, our heartfelt feelings are the exclamation points of our understanding of life!
I suddenly understood Su Dongpo's poem "Water Tune (When is the Bright Moon)" and said, "... there should be no hate. Why did it take so long to say goodbye? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I wish people a long time and sigh a thousand miles away. In this gorgeous moonlight, I seem to have a deeper understanding of life and the Mid-Autumn Moon. In this moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival, in this watery moonlight, in this foggy and frosty moonlight, we are enjoying the wonderful sentences and chapters of literary masters and poets singing the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon, and we are also enjoying the poignant, romantic, interesting and philosophical thoughts of A Thousand Miles Away.
On such a Mid-Autumn night, with the company of Huayue, there is a good word to sing, which is the gift and care of nature. Facing the cruel reality of life, we have higher expectations and yearning for life.
The bright moon shines in my shadow, and I miss my loved ones most tonight; Huaguang shines all over the world, and I miss the moon.
Tonight is another full moon. In the beauty of the full moon, I wonder if you can miss the gift of nature on the other side? !

7. Write a traditional festival that interests you, describe the process of the festival clearly, how to write notes first, and what you are interested in.
Dragon Boat Festival? Tomb-Sweeping Day?
Second, how to extend these into our lives, let's take the Dragon Boat Festival as an example. The first impression may be that everyone eats zongzi together during the Dragon Boat Festival.
It is not easy to eat zongzi, but if you eat different zongzi, is it worth writing?
Writing about any festival can subvert normal thinking. You can write about reunion during the Spring Festival, but you don't have a reunion dinner together. Tomb-Sweeping Day didn't go to the grave.
Still thinking, asking questions, then denying the answer to the question, and finally making up the answer.
You can think of it this way.
1. An unusual thing happened in a traditional festival that impressed you deeply, which made you deeply impressed (you can like it or hate it).
2. Slowly like this festival, understand the origin of the festival, and feel yourself.
Feeling this festival again, I like (hate) it more and more.
8. Dragon Boat Festival as a child: In my childhood memory, apart from the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival is the most lively. Because my parents were very busy at work, I often stayed in the country with my grandmother when I was a child.
I will never forget the Dragon Boat Festival at that time. Like the usual Chinese New Year holidays, the night before the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandmother always told me to sit by the bed and tell me some holiday rules, such as "Don't talk nonsense", "Don't steal cold dumplings", "Don't play with friends" and "Don't play with water" ... I always nodded frequently.
Grandma told me to go to bed early so that I could have a good spirit tomorrow. In the morning, I got up early, got dressed and ran to the kitchen. By this time, my grandmother had taken care of everything in the kitchen. Several bundles of cinnamon leaves and cinnamon ropes were tied to the stove, and white glutinous rice lay quietly in a small wooden bucket filled with water, like glittering pearls. There are several small dishes on the stove, which contain all kinds of ingredients: peanuts, bean paste, meat and so on.
So, I sat at the table eating breakfast while watching my grandmother busy. There are stoves on both sides in the country. They are both used for boiling water and cooking. My grandmother put the washed duck eggs into the cauldron, scooped a few spoonfuls of water from another hot pot with a wooden spoon, and then carefully put a spoonful of salt into the cauldron. Then she added some dead branches to the stove, sat next to me and began to weave collaterals for me.
Grandma's hands are as rough as bark because of long-term work, but they are dexterous. Divide three times five by two and weave a red rope. At this time, when the eggs were ripe, grandma picked up the biggest one, dipped it in red paper and dyed it red. Then she wiped it clean with a dry cloth, put it in the accessory and hung it around my neck.
Then, grandma put melon seeds, candy and peanuts in my pocket. I am often very happy, because I can watch the dragon boat race with my friends. Grandma always sends me to the gate and tells me to come back early to eat zongzi.
I always disappear in an instant. At this time, all my friends are almost here. The elder sister next door took the lead and led our children to the river to watch the dragon boat race.
Because the river is small, we use Protestantism to teach grazing? Hey? Carved? Boga？ Three people, 12 people paddle, 1 people play drums and shout slogans, "One, two, hey, one, two, come on", 12 dark-skinned boys row neatly, and two dragon boats gallop forward. But what will the child know to look at? We just want to have some fun.
Girls usually get bored after watching it for a while, so they sit aside and share snacks. Boys, on the other hand, always like chasing dragon boats along the shore. Because of the manpower of rowing, almost every boy has traces of splashing water. The gong rang, probably because the boat was at the end, and just after eating, I stood up and went home happily hand in hand with my friends.
The sun slowly climbed into the sky, and the fragrance of laurel leaves was already floating in grandma's kitchen. I quickly jumped into the kitchen to pick up a big cooked zongzi. Generally, I will sit on the threshold and eat zongzi cleanly. Occasionally, I will leave some glutinous rice for the chickens. I also find it fun to watch the big rooster's gluttony ... Although my mother always wraps zongzi and weaves collaterals for me every Dragon Boat Festival, although my mother's craftsmanship is not worse than my grandmother's, I always feel that something is missing.
When I was young, I really missed the Dragon Boat Festival! Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival: I haven't been back to my hometown for the holidays for many years. I really miss the delicious triangular zongzi. There are many customs in my hometown, but I don't remember much.
This is a baisuozi. Grandma twists five-color silk threads into a string every year, which is very long.
When I got up the next morning, my arms were already tied. Needless to say, grandma came to me first.
Stickers There are stickers on the doorframes every year.
Some are folded with monochrome yellow paper, and some are woven with five-color paper. Grandma once taught me how to fold, and now I have forgotten all about it.
I wonder if there is such a custom in other places: there are also hundreds of seeds buried in the ground. At that time, grandma said that the seeds buried in the ground would turn into flower snakes to ensure a bumper harvest in one year.
Although I am naughty, I never dig those "snakes" for fear that they will come out and bite people. Later, I learned that it was a story made up by the old man to coax the children and be afraid of breaking the "superstition".
I really can't remember other customs, but I can't forget the hundreds of zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival every year. It's not easy to wrap zongzi. Be sure to fold the leaves of zongzi, otherwise it will "show the stuffing"
Although it is difficult to wrap, there are many kinds: rice wrapped in red dates, millet wrapped in candied dates and rice wrapped in zongzi. It takes a long time to cook zongzi in a big pot.
I often have to wait for my mouth to water, but grandma still won't give it to me. Cooking is too difficult. The newly cooked zongzi is not delicious.
Once, I didn't wait until I was full before I realized that my tongue was blistered. Immediately put these delicious zongzi into a basin full of cold water to cool down, and I have already eaten them.
Many days later, there will always be zongzi for three meals a day. The zongzi sold in the street is not very delicious, either the rice is hard or the rice is not fragrant and tastes tasteless.
What is this called zongzi? It's just a rice cake The delicious zongzi reminds me of my thoughts, and the sweet shouting reminds me of my thoughts.
Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival: Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major festivals throughout the year. May is the poison month, the fifth day is the poison day, and the noon on the fifth day is the poison time, ranking at the bottom of the three poisons.
The Dragon Boat Festival is also called "the end of May". May is the beginning of the whole hot day. Five poisonous snakes are active and ghosts are rampant, which will bring disaster to people, especially to children who have no scruples and no resistance. Therefore, people call May Day Children's Day or Doll's Day.
The activities of the Dragon Boat Festival are very rich, starting from dawn in the morning and continuing until noon. In the morning at the end of May, every family eats zongzi to commemorate Qu Yuan. Usually dumplings are wrapped the day before, cooked at night and eaten in the morning.
Zongzi is mainly made of tender reed leaves and bamboo leaves, collectively called Zongzi leaves. The traditional form of zongzi is a triangle, which is generally named after the inner pulp. Glutinous rice is called rice zongzi, red bean zongzi is called red bean zongzi, and jujube zongzi is called jujube zongzi. The homonym of jujube jiaozi is "early noon", so jujube jiaozi eats the most, which is for children who are studying.
9. Write a composition that reflects civilized festivals. On the first day of the new year, my parents and I went to my uncle's house to pay a New Year call to my grandmother. Walking on the road, I saw two magpies twittering in the branches, as if to say "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! " As soon as I got on the bus, I saw the people on the bus riding to pay New Year's greetings. The family sat around and weighed gifts, all beaming. Looking out of the window, I saw people driving cars, riding motorcycles and electric cars, and they also went to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone's face is filled with a happy smile.
Not far from getting off the bus, I arrived at my uncle's door and saw the Spring Festival couplets posted by the door, "Tiger Leaps and Dragons are purple, and the good weather bodes well." Hearing the knock at the door, my aunt came out to open the door. It turns out that her home has arrived. There are uncles, aunts, uncles, nuns, grandmothers, two brothers and one sister in the room. Grandma, in particular, has not seen me for a long time. As soon as she met, she took my hand and touched my face, repeatedly saying, "I have gained weight and grown taller!" " "Then ask me how I study. Did you do well in the exam? I answered them seriously one by one. Then the adults ask questions and the children say hello to each other. Next, we sat around the prepared table. There are chickens, ducks, fish, all kinds of vegetables, drinks and drinks on the table, which are very rich. A big family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together. After dinner, the adults gave our children Chinese New Year red envelopes and chatted for a while. Children also have endless words. It was not until after 3 pm that we left first because of something.
we think
10. Write a composition about festivals. The Spring Festival in our hometown is very different from other places. From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th of the first month.
Many children like the Spring Festival very much, and I am no exception. The Spring Festival will be held according to our own custom.
A few days before the Spring Festival, every family was buying things to worship their ancestors. Many children often can't sleep because of those delicious foods. They are afraid of being robbed of food, so they have to put things in their hands. So that they can sleep quietly.
During the Spring Festival, of course, everything has to be new. Wearing new clothes is also important ... cleaning the house. No matter the table, floor, quilt and sheets, they have to be washed once, so as to welcome the New Year.
Buying new year's goods is the most important thing. The adults went out early in the morning and went to the vegetable market to buy new year's goods. Seafood and vegetables are available. Apples are the most common in Chinese New Year, symbolizing peace and security: pitaya, symbolizing prosperity; Fish, a symbol of more than a year ... people are full of food.
It's almost 30 in a blink of an eye, but there are still a few days before 30. On the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, every family is handing out new year's goods. Although it's not New Year's Eve, it tastes different.
These days, not only adults are busy, but also children care. They took out their hidden private money and went to the canteen to buy fireworks. Boys especially like buying firecrackers. They always like to play practical jokes and secretly set off firecrackers behind others' backs. Many people are often scared by them, but they leave with a smirk. Unlike them, we girls like to play with fireworks, so we always buy a lot of fireworks until New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, adults are scrambling to make new year's dishes, while our children are running around in new clothes. Go to this house later to see what Chinese New Year dishes are available, and go back and "report" to the adults. Then I went to that house and stole some sausages, saying it was a few, but my mouth was full; Then I went to another house and played a prank.
In the evening, the family gathered around the table for a reunion dinner. In Chinese New Year's dishes, red hairy crabs are our children's favorite, while adults are holding cups and drinking old wine!
After dinner, we girls took out the fireworks we bought. After lighting, the fireworks look particularly beautiful in the dark blue night sky like bright stars. At this time of the year, every household will set off fireworks, and small fireballs will fly into the sky, only to hear a bang and smash the flowers.
On the first day of the first month, many shops are closed and everyone goes to visit relatives and friends. Adults chat as soon as they meet, but we only focus on collecting lucky money.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, a Lantern Festival party will be held in the Cultural Square, and all the seats on the scene will be full. Many supermarkets hang riddles. My brother and I often go to the supermarket solve riddles on the lanterns, we are experts in solve riddles on the lanterns! Every time we go to mom and dad ... their empty hands are always full of things.
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, so will the Spring Festival. The adults are working again, and we are starting school. The Spring Festival in my hometown is always so lively, festive and grand.
