"The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the Su region. The bright sun shines on thousands of households, always replacing new peaches with old symbols." This poem describes a scene of the renewal of everything during the Spring Festival.There are many theories about the origin of the Spring Festival, among which the most widely accepted one is that it evolved from the ancient era of praying for good luck at the beginning of the year. As the most solemn and grand traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival has countless customs. For example: purchasing New Year's goods, posting Spring Festival couplets, having New Year's Eve dinner, observing the New Year, setting off firecrackers, watching the Spring Festival Gala, paying New Year's greetings, etc.
In the early morning of my hometown, the crackling sound of firecrackers on the streets echoed through the sky, pulling sleeping children out of their dreams.
Every household is decorated with lanterns, and the Spring Festival couplets and lanterns in front of them add to the festive atmosphere.
The adults got up at four or five in the morning to get busy because they had to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the family reunion. Worry free. Children share with their partners the source of their New Year's happiness - various types of firecrackers. There are fairy sticks, skyrocketing cannons, wiping cannons, throwing cannons, magic bullets, and so on.
The most joyful thing for us children during the Chinese New Year is receiving lucky money. New Year's money is usually given to children by elders. My mother taught me from a young age to understand the rules, and when accepting red envelopes, I must take them with both hands and thank the elders.
In our family, all the Chinese New Year money we receive is entrusted to our parents for safekeeping. I also learned a little story about lucky money from the book, let me share it with you!
Before, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve every year, a little demon named "Sui" would come out and harm children. It will sneak into people's homes at night, touch sleeping children, and cause them to get sick and have a high fever. At that time, people would have children play with eight copper coins wrapped in red paper to avoid such situations from happening, scaring away the "sneak"
Therefore, people also refer to these eight copper coins as "pressure money". Later, it was also known as "lucky money" due to the homophonic sound of "Sui" and "Sui".
The Spring Festival is a joyful and festive festival for our Chinese nation. The customs of our hometown and the joy of the Spring Festival are deeply engraved in my heart like a beautiful piece of music.

"Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the year ends, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the Tu Su region. The bright sun shines on countless households, always exchanging new peaches for old symbols." This is Wang Anshi's poem "The New Year's Day." Whenever I think of this poem, I think of the Spring Festival in my hometown.My hometown is Weifang, Shandong. The Spring Festival here is very lively. One or two days before the Spring Festival, the streets, shops, and restaurants are all filled with a festive atmosphere. The streets are filled with lanterns and Spring Festival couplets, and there are many "blessings" on the doors and windows of shops. There are also many stickers about the Spring Festival inside the shops, and restaurants, like shops, offer a variety of packages.
The most festive place is still in everyone's home, and my home is no exception. On New Year's Eve morning, my dad and I posted couplets, pasted blessings, and hung lanterns. We also need to carry out a thorough cleaning to welcome the joyful atmosphere of the new year. In the afternoon, we started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. In the evening, our family sat around the table eating delicious New Year's Eve dinner, as well as dumplings. Eating dumplings was the most interesting because there was money inside the dumplings. Whoever ate the money would have good luck in the new year, so everyone competed to eat dumplings, hoping to get the money in one bite. Ah。 I ate a dumpling with money. At 8 o'clock in the evening, our whole family watched the Spring Festival Gala together. With the sound of the New Year's bell, a new year arrived.
On the day of the Spring Festival, I must get up very early and put on new clothes. My sister and I will go to kowtow to our grandparents and give them New Year's money. We are very happy. The whole village was filled with the sound of crackling firecrackers, and the ground was covered in fragments of firecracker paper. The air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder. Then, I happily followed my parents to visit relatives for the New Year, sending beautiful wishes and hoping that everyone will have a good year ahead.
On Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival), we buy Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) and rice dumpling. There were many fireworks and firecrackers set off that night, and the sound was deafening. There were many colorful flowers in the sky, which was breathtaking.

My hometown is in Shangqiu, Henan. As the saying goes, "Ten miles have different winds, and a hundred miles have different customs." Therefore, the customs in my hometown are slightly different from those in other places.About ten days before the new year, every family began to make Mantou. To make Mantou, you need to mix noodles first. Mixing noodles is a delicate job. It needs to be done slowly, or there will be bumps in the noodles. Mantou made from such noodles is not delicious at all. The amount of water added when making noodles depends on experience. If more water is added, the noodles will become thin, and if less water is added, the noodles will dry. For beginners, you only need to remember to add a small amount and multiple times.
After two hours of fermenting, you can start to make Mantou. The Mantou made by Grandma and Mom is round. Grandma said that we must eat round Mantou during the Spring Festival. Round Mantou means full and round. With the development of the times, Mantou can not only be made into a round shape, but also have many new ideas. For example, Mantou can be made into small animals, flowers, fruits and other shapes. My favorite food is Huaneneneba steamed bread, because Huanenenebb steamed bread is not only beautiful, but also contains red dates! Such Mantou tastes sweeter and more fragrant. We steamed Mantou while making Mantou. Half a day passed, and all the Mantou prepared for the Spring Festival were ready.
Mantou can be eaten in a variety of ways. In addition to eating directly, you can also put fried meat or vegetables into Mantou. Anything on the dining table can be put in. In this way, Mantou will become "steamed bun".
I wonder if you will make Mantou for the Spring Festival?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, in my hometown Chaoshan, there is a special custom of eating seven types of soup.On the seventh day of the first lunar month this year... "Mommy, what are you eating tonight? Is anyone coming to our house?" As evening approached, I began to shout. "Eating seven kinds of soup, it's something I have to eat every year today!" Mom stood in front of the stove, bowing her head and busy with her own. "Hmm? Is that so? What is that Seven Kinds of Soup made of? What is its origin?" I was curious and looked at my mother eagerly. This one is made up of seven types of vegetables, including big vegetables, thick vegetables, celery, garlic, spring vegetables, chives, and celery orchids. According to legend, there was an official in the Song Dynasty who was framed by a minister and exiled to Jiangnan. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, he went to a remote wilderness. At that time, he was so hungry that he picked seven types of vegetables and cooked them to eat. Later, he resumed his job and was promoted. Recalling this day, he asked his family to eat these seven types of vegetables, which is also known as Seven Types of Soup, every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month. There is also a related song called Seven Types of Soup. "The more you eat, the younger you become. Only by eating garlic can you have money to hide. The elderly become younger after eating it, and the children turn red and green after eating it..." Mom washed the dishes and said with a smile, "Oh, when can we eat it then?" "Later."
Sitting on a chair, looking at the clock, my heart was already drawn to the magical food. At the same time, I was also singing a nursery rhyme quietly... Ah, when can I see its true face... Time flies so slowly, as if a century has passed... I fell asleep in a daze.
Opening my eyes again, I was awakened by the elusive aroma. I looked at my belly and ran to the restaurant, locking onto the plate of Seven Kinds of Soup on the table. I sat down eagerly, and the Seven Kinds of Soup in front of me was as beautiful as a painting. The light green soup around the Seven Kinds of Soup flickered under the light, like a polished jade. The various types of dishes were like graceful girls wearing a green dress, and the seductive aroma enveloped me, as if to take me to the fairyland of Yaochi
"Woo..." My stomach was screaming, and I couldn't bear to ruin this dish, but in the end, I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. Suddenly, the sweet and refreshing taste bloomed in my mouth, stimulating my tongue. I couldn't help but eat another piece
After finishing my meal, I looked up and saw my parents smiling at me, saying, "You eat so fast, you like it?" It was then that I realized something and felt embarrassed.
The more I eat Seven Kinds of Soup, the younger I become. Only by eating garlic can I have money to hide. The elderly become younger after eating it, and the children turn red and green after eating it... I touch my round belly and hum a song.

As we all know, the 15th day of the first month is the traditional Chinese Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival. On this day, everyone is going to watch lanterns and guess lantern riddles, and the lanterns in my hometown - Wang Mantian in Shexian County are unique!The lanterns there are very distinctive because they are mostly made up of bamboo frames inside, paper pasted on the outside, and vividly painted with color embellishments to create a variety of fish. Why are flower lanterns all paper fish? Legend has been around for a long time. The elderly said that in ancient times, the god of fire always came to burn houses, and people lost a lot of property. In order to drive away the god of fire, people made flower lanterns in the shape of fish and carried them around the village like real big paper fish. The Fire God saw the fish and thought there was a lot of water in the entire village, so he no longer dared to come and burn the house. In the future, people will make and play with fish every year in order to seek safety.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lantern festival begins. Look! I saw many fireworks appearing in the sky that day, some shining with golden light, like a golden bridge soaring across the sky; Some of them are colorful, rising into the sky and blooming with colorful flowers... Various fireworks compete and make people dizzy. Afterwards, the real protagonist came on stage! A huge paper fish that could hold two or three children came swimming, with dozens or even hundreds of red candles inside its body, illuminating the road surface brightly. In front of the fish team, a man led the way with a torch, and a dozen strong men slowly walked over carrying a "giant" fish. The "Big Mac" fish shook its head and tail as if greeting people, who cheered and waved their hands in welcome. Following closely behind were several big fish, followed by cute little paper fish swimming happily, occasionally getting close to each other. The owner of the small paper fish is our child, and the lantern festival also added a bit of childlike fun.
In the middle of the fish team, there were adults beating copper gongs and big drums, their voices deafening, making the lantern more lively. A few mischievous little boys followed their father and grandfather, holding small torches made from the remaining firework sticks, walking towards the end of the fishing team, running back and forth, enjoying themselves. The fish team walked to another place, and it's time for fireworks and firecrackers to go on stage again. "Mmm," the firecrackers here rang, "boom," and fireworks were set off over there. I really don't understand where to look!
Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Lantern Festival "paper fish" swim, bright lights happy ocean!

My hometown is in a small village in Fuyang, Zhejiang. Although it is not as bustling as the city, it has a unique flavor and folk customs that the city does not have. The Yuanpu Yuanci Hall is one of our major events.From the day the temple was built, firecrackers were set off to celebrate the start of construction. After building the ancestral hall, it was even more lively. On the first morning, there were many rituals. First, slaughter pigs and sheep. Tie the pigs and sheep to two separate stools, then tie their heads with red red red diamonds and place them upright on the left and right sides of the temple, like two gatekeepers. Someone even carried the oldest elderly person in the village with a sedan chair, followed by many musicians, walking around the village. Wherever you go, there are many people watching, not knowing how lively it is. After all of this is over, we have to set off firecrackers again. At noon, a banquet was held around the ancestral hall, inviting one person from each household to have lunch. On this day, gongs and drums were blazing, firecrackers were incessant, and small stalls were everywhere. This is also what our children love the most. Taking advantage of these days, buy some delicious and fun things, invite friends to play together, and parents won't scold.
As night fell, on the grand stage of the ancestral hall, the first performance was the meticulously rehearsed performance of the aunties in our village - gongs and drums. After the end, the troupe went on stage to perform, babbling, playing, and singing, which was the favorite program of the grandparents. They always bring chairs early, choose suitable positions, and even if they look at them day and night, they won't feel bored. Although the ancestral hall is very large, it can still be blocked to the point of being completely blocked. Our children like to run around and play games in the temple.
These are just scenes from the first day. Generally speaking, such a grand event should last for at least three days and for three consecutive years. These days, the hospitable villagers always invite their relatives and friends to eat together. The most common family may have to order over thirty tables, it's really lively. The money for building ancestral halls was voluntarily donated by the villagers, with some reaching 800000 yuan and others ranging from two to three hundred yuan. Anyone who donates more than 2000 yuan will receive an antique genealogy.
Creating ancestral halls and circular genealogies is not only a folk custom, but also a symbol of the prosperity and inheritance of a surname!

Three miles away from home, it's not the same local style. Our motherland has a vast territory, numerous ethnic groups, and each place has its own customs and habits. In my hometown of Shandong, I steam flower cakes every year during the Spring Festival.Why steamed flower cake? It has a long history. Starting from the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, nearly thirty years later, the people would "steam strong", which is steamed noodles. These noodles are not meant to be eaten, but are used to worship ancestors and Confucius at the Confucius Mansion. Nowadays, "steaming strong" no longer worships ancestors, but symbolizes "living a prosperous life, rising year by year, and good luck rising day by day.". Therefore, steaming flower cake has also become a unique custom in our hometown.
This year, we also steamed flower cakes at home. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, waves of fragrance wafted out from the kitchen. I know, once the noodles are ready, we need to start steaming the flower cake. We need to prepare the cutting board and bring the rolling pin. Once everything is ready, the flower cake starts from kneading the noodles.
Grandpa extended his hands into the basin, and the soft dough couldn't withstand such a great pressure, so he could only surrender to the palm of his hand and be at the mercy of others. Under the action of stretching and kneading repeatedly, the dough gradually becomes pale and spherical like paper, round and rolling, making people unable to resist liking it. The most beautiful dough is just dough, it cannot be eaten, and ultimately it must be made into pastries. At this point, the rolling pin came in handy, and the freshly kneaded dough was now on the gallows again. In the dough, use a knife to cut out a portion of the dough, then rub it into strips on a cutting board. Finally, use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough evenly, creating a smooth pattern.
Finally, the dough began to undergo plastic surgery. Two pieces of dough are sandwiched between the hands, and a jujube is placed in the center as a decoration. The butterfly like pastry is made; The slender dough dances agilely on its fingertips, rolled together in a long roll, adorned with a circle of red dates, giving birth to a circular pastry.
After these pastries are finished, they need to be steamed in a steamer, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of noodles and dates. The year began with the taste of this flower cake.
Whether in my hometown or a foreign land, in my memory, my family will always do some local customs and characteristics at this time. Steamed flower cake is a custom in my hometown, and it is deeply engraved in my mind like carving.

On the morning of December 30th, my younger brother and I sat in my grandmother's living room. At this point, someone will ask: Where are your parents? Where have they gone?When you come to the kitchen, you can see the busy figures of them and my grandparents. Because it is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, according to the customs of our hometown, on this day, we will worship two immortals. One is the Heavenly God, and the other is the Kitchen God. So my parents are helping my grandparents prepare items for worship.
After finishing lunch, the offerings are almost ready. The next step is to place the offerings on the sacrificial table:
In the middle of the sacrificial table is a wooden basket, which contains two sticky rice sausages (stuffed with glutinous rice in pig skin and steamed), a steamed chicken, and a piece of steamed pork. A large candle was placed on each side. In front of the basket is a bowl of rice and a bowl of water. From left to right, there is a bowl of noodles, two rice cakes, a piece of tofu, two Mantou, an arbutus and some fruit.
After the offerings were arranged, it was time for the worship. Grandpa brought a handful of incense, lit it with a candle, and sent it to us.
We each hold three sticks of incense in our hands and worship. Subsequently, Grandpa inserted incense into the offering and brought a bow of yellow paper, which was equivalent to money used by the immortals. He lit them up and burned them to the immortals in the sky, praying that they would bless us with peace in the coming year. But I believe that worshipping immortals is the same as Buddhism, and one should be devout and not seek personal gain. I just bid him New Year with a reverence for the gods.
After worshipping the immortals in the sky, we also need to "console" the Kitchen God who manages our food. So, we moved the sacrificial table to the kitchen again and repeated the previous worship process. We still pay New Year's greetings to the Kitchen God with a particularly devout attitude.
This is the custom of our hometown, although ordinary and common, it is an essential part of New Year's Eve. This custom is my favorite because it is a day of the year when I can socialize with immortals.

The customs of my hometown always emit a familiar yet unfamiliar flavor.My hometown is Shanggao, a beautiful small county town that may not be considered large, but it holds a significant weight in my heart. Do you know some of its customs?
In Shanggao, people pay great attention to building houses, following a rigorous set of traditional customs from choosing a location, starting construction, installing beams, to moving.
The first step is to choose a house address. When setting the foundation, it is usually necessary to invite a feng shui master to observe the feng shui. The gate must not face deep valleys, open roads, or direct rivers. The house site must be in line with the trend and should be low in the front and high in the back. A wall photo with the word "fu" should be erected to "ward off evil and eliminate evil". As the saying goes, "Left Qinglong, Right Baihu" means that the left can be higher than the right, but the right is not higher than the left. Obviously, this is an ancient custom of worshipping dragons and advocating the left.
The next step is to break ground and start construction. Before starting construction, people first lay the foundation for the house, then wrap red paper or cloth around the wooden stakes. The head of the household excavates the first shovel of soil, commonly known as "breaking the soil", and then sprinkle Taiping copper coins on the four corners, commonly known as "suppressing evil". Choose double days for construction, especially on Saturdays and Eighths, and avoid Fourteen days the most. Some people also stick couplets to show their joy.
Once again, it's the upper beam. Shangliang must choose an auspicious day in the ecliptic, ride the sun high and rise, and play the suona. And worship the beams in order of age, let the craftsmen raise the beams, straighten them, and then press Ma Ci on both ends of the beams. That scene was incredibly lively, and everyone gathered together to celebrate and get drunk. This type of liquor is called Shangliang liquor. According to traditional customs, one seat is made of wood, two seats are made of mud, and only three or four seats are available. This custom has been passed down to this day and remains unchanged. Singing colorful tunes, setting off firecrackers, saying auspicious words, throwing wine and glutinous rice balls, candies
Finally, there is housewarming. When people move, they must be harmonious with their children. During the moving process, they should not greet others too much, avoid taking a nap, and must not break anything. On the day of moving, because we boiled some boiled water in the new house and blew the electric fan all over the house, in order to "bring the wind and the water together", we can cook some rice dumpling and desserts for dinner, and the whole family can eat together, which means reunion.
Seeing the scene of the housewarming celebration and reflecting on this series of processes, it should be the accumulation of experience from our senior ancestors, as well as their pursuit of a better and more beautiful life.
So far, some customs have been reformed, but still some customs have been passed down. That is a familiar yet unfamiliar taste in my hometown.

Winter Solstice, also known as Winter Festival. Every household in Fuqing needs to knead rice balls the night before the winter solstice, which is called "Rice Rolling Time" by the people of Fuqing. Rubbing round represents reunion, and there is also a folk saying that goes "eating Winter Festival round brings one more year.".On the eve of the winter solstice, the family prepared tangerines, chopsticks, candles, dustpans and glutinous rice flour. In the evening, after finishing the reunion dinner, the family sat together, ready to knead the dough.
Mom placed a round dustpan on the table, with a pair of red candles in front of it, symbolizing prosperity. She lit the candles to pray for peace. Put ten lucky oranges in the dustpan, and "Fu" represents good luck. Insert two round flowers into the pile of lucky oranges and set up ten pairs of chopsticks. Most Chinese people like to pair up and be perfect, these festive reds add peace and warmth to their homes.
"Rub rice dumpling!" Mother laughed and shouted.
Everyone started to get busy. First, add water to the glutinous rice flour and rub it in a basin. The loose and dry glutinous rice flour turns into a sticky and wet ball. I'm curious, I just grab a small piece with my hand, pinch it, hey! Now Rice noodles balls are as soft as plasticine.
I broke a piece and placed it in my palm to form a ball, then flattened it. There is no filling in traditional rice dumpling. In order to make rice dumpling more delicious, the "ingredients" I carefully prepared this time are different: QQ sugar, raisins, dried strawberries... Put the "ingredients" into the flattened dumpling, and then roll them into a round, and a rice dumpling will be rolled. I am filled with anticipation: what will the round shape I knead look like after cooking? Will it be the same as the fruity rice dumpling sold outside? If it really works, that's my secret recipe. With a mind full of novelty, I look forward to the winter solstice arriving soon the next day.
Early in the morning on the winter solstice, I rushed into the kitchen when I got up and saw my mother cooking rice dumpling. Mother filled the pot with water, and when the water boiled, she put rice dumpling into the pot, and one by one small rice dumpling were stuck to the bottom of the pot obediently. I don't know why they were so friendly.
"Puff..." The pot sighed and hot air emerged from the edge of the lid. Open the lid of the pot, ah! Rice dumpling became plump, round and crystal clear, like white and plump baby faces, and sometimes there were several naughty grins at me, so that the stuffing flowed out, making people drool.
Rice dumpling can also be eaten in various ways. Boiled rice dumpling is delicious with soup or soybean powder. The soft, sweet and glutinous rice dumpling is swept away in a few minutes, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. And the sweet taste is unforgettable!
