The first day of the first lunar month is another happy day.

In the past, I was always the last person to get up, but today I fought for the first place because I really wanted to smell the fragrant firecracker smoke. Strings of firecrackers were lit in people's hands. The sound was really loud and splashed everywhere, as if they were sending every blessing to thousands of households. The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, crackling and making it very lively.

After the firecrackers, there is nothing fun anymore. Let’s have breakfast and go out to play later!

After dinner, I invited a few friends to play together. The firecrackers lit on the street bloomed beautiful flowers on the ground. They were so beautiful. The pocket money given by my parents was in the bag. Titus was happy. The little birds came out to join in the fun today, and they were probably very happy too.

The street is indeed a street, with everything to play and eat. Most of the people I saw were children. I took a look and found that the spicy stalls were the best:

"I want a bunch of rice cakes!" A fat child shouted.

How about going somewhere else? In front of a stationery store, I stopped again. There are all kinds of fun things there: airplane models, telescopes, electric cars... all kinds of fun things. The most popular ones I find are the ones that are played with.

In other places, I also saw some selling balloons, pistols, and skipping ropes, and some selling snacks, snacks, and fruits.

After playing all morning, I am going to visit relatives and friends in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year. This is undoubtedly a happy thing.

I had so much fun today! It’s a feast for the eyes, a feast for the mouth, and a feast for the hands.

The luckiest ones are the sellers, business is booming today!

I sincerely hope that today’s children across the country will be happy and free from worries in the new year, but they must not “lose their minds by playing with things”! 4. An essay about the folk customs of some places

Mongolian

[Introduction to the ethnic group]

< p> The Mongolian ethnic group has a current population of approximately 4,800,00 people. They mainly live in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the rest are distributed in the northeast and northwest regions of China. The Mongolian people are a nation with a long history and rich in legend.

For thousands of years, the Mongolian people have lived a nomadic life of "migrating in pursuit of water and grass." Most of China's grasslands have left traces of Mongolian herdsmen, so they are known as the "proud sons of the grasslands." The Mongolian people are relatively developed in scientific and cultural undertakings. Especially since the Ming Dynasty, they have made significant contributions to the scientific and cultural undertakings of the motherland in aspects such as history, literature, language, medicine, astronomy and geography. In terms of folk literature and art, "Haolibao" is a widely circulated singing form among the Mongolian people, and the morinouqin is the most distinctive national musical instrument. The Mongolian people originated from the area on the east bank of the Wangjian River (today's Ergun River) in ancient times. "Mengwu" is the earliest Chinese translation of the word "Mongolia", which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. "Mongolia" was originally just the name of one of the Mongolian tribes. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Mongolian tribes headed by Genghis Khan unified the tribes in the Mongolian region and gradually formed a new ethnic unity. "Mongolia" has changed from the original tribal name to the name of an ethnic group. The Mongolian people have their own language and literature. The Mongolian people belong to the Mongolian language family of the Altaic language family, and are divided into three dialects: Inner Mongolian, Oirat, and Marhu-Buryat.

[Food Habits]

The Mongolian people have lived on the grasslands for generations and rely on animal husbandry for their livelihood. Kumiss, hand-chopped meat, and roasted mutton are their favorite daily drinks, foods, and delicacies for entertaining guests. Every year in July and August, when the cattle are fat and the horses are strong, it is the season for brewing kumiss. Industrious Mongolian women store mare's milk in skins and stir it. After a few days, the milk fat is separated and fermented into wine. With the development of science and the prosperity of life, the Mongolian people's craftsmanship in brewing kumiss has become increasingly sophisticated and perfect. There are not only simple fermentation methods, but also a distillation method for brewing strong kumiss. The milk wine after six steaming and six brewing is the top grade. Kumiss is warm in nature and has the effects of dispelling cold, relaxing tendons, activating blood circulation, and strengthening the stomach. Known as purple jade pulp and yuan jade pulp, it is one of the "Eight Treasures of Mongolia". "Hand-grilled meat" is one of the traditional food methods of Mongolians. The method is to disembowel a fat and tender sheep, peel off the skin, remove the internal organs, wash it, remove the head and hoofs, then cut the whole sheep into large pieces, boil it in white water, take it out when the water is boiling and the meat is cooked, and place it on a large plate When it is served, everyone holds a Mongolian knife and cuts into large pieces to eat. It got its name because it uses hands to eat without using chopsticks. Pouring wine to guests and eating hand-pickled meat are ways for grassland herdsmen to express their respect and love for their guests. When you set foot on the grassland and enter the yurt, the hospitable Mongolians will pour the wine into a silver bowl or a gold cup, hold it on the long hada, and sing a moving toast song to entertain the distinguished guests from afar. My own sincerity.

[Architectural Features]

"Mongolian yurt" is the Manchu name for the housing of Mongolian herdsmen. "Bao" means "home" or "house" in Manchu. In ancient times, yurts were called "qionglu", "felt tent" or "yurt house". The yurts are round in shape, ranging in size from large to small. The larger one can accommodate more than 20 people to rest; the small one can also accommodate more than 10 people. The erection of a yurt is very simple, usually in a place with suitable water plants. First draw a circle according to the size of the yurt, and then set up the "Hana" (made of 2.5-meter-long wicker cross braids) along the drawn circle. , then put the "uni" (a wicker stick about 3.2 meters long) on ​​the top, connect the "hana" and "uni" together in a circle and tie them up, then put them on felt and tie them with wool ropes Hold on, and you're done. A family of herdsmen can settle down on the grassland. After the yurt is set up, people decorate the inside of the yurt. Lay out thick carpets, place furniture, and hang picture frames and posters all around. Now some furniture and electrical appliances have been put into the yurts, and life is very comfortable and joyful. The biggest advantage of the yurt is that it is easy to disassemble and assemble. Relocation is easy. When erecting, the Hana can be pulled apart to form a circular wall. When dismantling, the Hana can be folded back to reduce its size. It can also be used as a carriage board for oxen or horse-drawn carriages. A yurt only requires two camels or a two-wheeled ox cart to transport it, and it can be set up in two to three hours. Although the yurt looks small in appearance, the usable area inside the yurt is very large. In addition, the indoor air circulation, good lighting conditions, warm in winter and cool in summer, and not afraid of wind and rain, are very suitable for the residence and use of herdsmen who often move around.

[Features of Clothing]

Jewelry, robes, belts and boots are the four main parts of Mongolian clothing. The decorations on women’s heads are made of agate, pearls, gold and silver. . Mongolian men wear robes and aprons, and women have lace patterns embroidered on their sleeves and high collars on their tops, which seems to be similar to the Mongolian ethnic group. Women like to wear three pieces of clothing of different lengths. The first is an undershirt with sleeves as long as the wrist, the second is an outer coat with sleeves as long as the elbow, and the third is a collarless waistcoat with straight rows of flashing buttons. Eye-catching.

[Ethnic Taboo]

Mongolians should avoid riding fast when approaching the yurt, so as not to disturb the herd; if there is a fire or red cloth hanging in front of the door, etc. The symbol indicates that there is a sick person or a pregnant woman in this house, and outsiders are prohibited from entering; guests cannot sit on the Western Kang, because the west is the direction for worshiping the Buddha; it is forbidden to eat the meat of animals that have died, donkey meat, dog meat, and white horse meat; avoid red and White, avoid black and yellow when holding weddings; avoid baking feet, shoes, socks and trousers on the brazier; prohibit smoking, spitting and touching ritual objects, classics, Buddha statues and religious objects when visiting temple sutra halls and altar halls. Noisy people are allowed, and hunting near the temple is not allowed. 6. A 400-word essay about local customs

The Water Splashing Festival is the most important festival of the Dai people. It is held every year in April of the lunar calendar and usually lasts for three to four days. There is still a myth circulating among the Dai people: In ancient times, there was a devil in the Dai area. He did many evil things and people hated him, but nothing could be done to deal with the devil. Later, the seven girls discovered the devil's fatal weakness, and only the devil's hair can kill them. One night, the girls bravely killed the devil. But as soon as the devil's head hit the ground, a fire broke out. At this point, the girls immediately took turns holding their heads. Change it once a year, when there is a replacement. People poured water on the girl holding her head to wash away the blood and fatigue on her body. Later, the most important festival of the Dai people - Water Splashing Festival was formed.

On "Mai Day", which is the first day of the festival. People collect flowers and green leaves early in the morning to offer offerings to Buddhist temples, but they come here to "bathe the Buddha" in clear water - to wash away the dust of the Buddha statues. After the "bathing" is completed, the collective splashing of water begins. A group of young men and women poured out of the streets and alleys with water, splashing it on everyone they met. "When water flowers bloom, the Dai family is prosperous." "If you get wet, you will be happy for life." The auspicious, happy, and healthy water flowers bloom in the sky.

Dragon boat racing is one of the most exciting programs of the Water Splashing Festival, and is often held on the "Maipaya Wanma" (third day) of the Water Splashing Festival. On that day, people dressed in festive costumes gathered on the banks of the Lancang and Ruili rivers to watch the dragon boat races. There are various dragon boats moored on the river, with dozens of strong athletes on board. When the order is sounded, the dragon boats fly forward like arrows from the string. There are gongs, drums, trumpets and cheers everywhere, and the festive atmosphere has reached a climax here.

"Putting Highs" is another program of Songkran Festival. Gaosheng is a homemade firework made by the Dai people. The bottom of a bamboo pole is filled with gunpowder and other ingredients, placed on a high tower made of bamboo, and wired on the street. It is often set off at night. Brilliant fireworks are released in the sky, like flowers and brocades, dazzling and wonderful. The Water Splashing Festival is the crystallization of the traditional culture of the Dai people and is a joyful and happy festival

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys of Guangzhou are filled with flowers and pots of oranges. Spring flower exhibitions are held in major parks, especially three days before New Year's Eve. Colorful buildings and flower stands are erected on the main streets in various districts. Flower farmers in Sixiang People came one after another to sell flowers and oranges, and the ten-mile long street was full of flowers and crowds of people. It lasted until the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year before dispersing. This is Guangzhou's unique New Year's Eve flower market.

Flower planting is an industry in Guangzhou with a history of more than 100 years. As early as the Southern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, there were many jasmine flower fields in Zhuangtou Village on the south bank of the Pearl River. Su xin, the favorite concubine of Liu Huan, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, was the flower-planting girl of Zhuangtou. Kumquat symbolizes "good luck and good fortune". Similar to it is the fruit of generations, which means prosperity from generation to generation: Buddha's hand fruit, shaped like the palm of a finger, is like a believer's pious worship, elegant and solemn, and is deeply favored by good men and women.

Taohuayuan is connected to Wuqiang River on the top and Wuling on the bottom. It is said that it was a refuge for the ancient Qin people to escape from years of war and excessive military service. They work and feed themselves in this isolated place, reproduce their descendants, and develop their own unique style of feng shui. The ancient folk customs here still show its past sentiments as a blessed place in the cave.

There is Qinren Cave in Peach Blossom Spring, and there is a village named Sanhe Village in Qinren Cave. There are dozens of families in Sanhe Village, most of whom are named Qin, so the village is also called Qinren Village. Are these villagers named Qin the descendants of the ancient Qin people who went into caves to avoid chaos? No one has done any specific research. Anyway, the word "Qin" has been used throughout ancient and modern times. Their customs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are indeed many different from those of today's modern society.

Clothing: In the past, all the clothing materials used by people here were home-woven homespun cloth. Each family is equipped with spinning wheels and looms, produces its own cotton, spins and weaves its own cotton, and the woven homespun cloth is dyed with vegetable dyes in colors of green, blue, gray or purple. Most of the clothes are made at home. The dyed homespun cloth is cut into pieces and then stitched together by hand. There are also tailors who come to make clothes. A gray bag, a few needles, a few threads, and a pair of pig iron irons that look like today's small aluminum pots are all their tools. The style of clothing is a men's jacket. Women wear large clothes with one-color cloth buttons and loops, and their trousers are all large folded crotch trousers with a waistband of 4 feet, which is folded in front of the belly and tied with a cloth belt. Nowadays, the clothes of young people in the village are almost the same as those of people outside the cave, but many elderly people still wear double-breasted clothes, large clothes, and crotchless trousers. However, the fabrics for the elderly's clothes are no longer made from local textiles, but are selected from the market. Walking around the village, you can still find wooden spinning wheels and looms. Although these are no longer in use, they still display history. Even today, when sewing machines are widely used, there are still local tailors in the village who carry fire irons and ash bags.

Food: Of course, the staple food is rice, which is almost the same as the villagers outside the cave. The "food" referred to here specifically refers to tools for processing rice. The tools used by the villagers in Qinru Village to process rice were plates, stone pestles, and windmills. The dish is round and has two upper and lower leaves. The lower fan is fixed on the wooden frame, with a hardwood shaft in the middle, and the upper fan rotates around the wooden shaft on the lower fan. The friction surfaces of the upper and lower leaves are regularly embedded with many hardwood pieces as teeth, and loess is tamped between the teeth to fix the teeth. The function of the dish is to remove the coarse shell from the shell. When processing with a plate, the rice husks are piled in the hopper of the upper fan, and the upper fan is pushed to rotate manually. The rice husks are rubbed through the wooden teeth, and the coarse-hulled brown rice is sprinkled from the gap between the upper and lower surfaces. The brown rice is then processed using stone mills to become cooked rice. Nowadays, most of the rice consumed by villagers is processed by machines, but there are still workshops in the village that can process rice for villagers using ancient methods. It is true that some villagers used to process rice using mats and piles of stones in the workshops. They (especially the elderly) believe that this is more fragrant and softer than machine-processed rice.

Accommodation: In the past, the villagers’ houses were all bamboo fence huts. The huts are built close to the mountain, and each is independent. It is true that "chickens and dogs can hear each other."

The interior of the house is simple, with slates and wooden blocks as benches, wooden boards as beds, gourds (commonly known as reeds) cut into scoops, and bricks as a stove. Today the huts have been replaced by wooden huts. The wooden houses are all covered with small green tiles and whitewashed walls, still retaining the ancient style. Although every household has a TV and a refrigerator, the cut-up melon and gourd are still the same.

OK: Although Qinren Village is close to the national highway, there are no roads in the village. The countryside is criss-crossed by roads and traffic. These roads in the countryside are not said to be better than cement roads and asphalt roads, but they do have their own advantages. advantages. It is filled with the green smell of fragrant grass and the moisture of earth and dirt. Stepping on it with bare feet makes people feel warm and comfortable, and it also makes people feel the beating of the pulse of the earth. 8. A 400-word essay about local customs, urgent

In desperation, I was going to ask my father who was posting Spring Festival couplets.

"It's wrong, it's wrong!" I shouted anxiously when I saw my father pasting the word "福" upside down. "It's correct!" Dad replied calmly. "Then why do you stick it upside down?" I was puzzled. Dad explained: "It is a custom to paste the word '福' upside down. Pasting '福' upside down means that '福' has arrived!" "Oh, that's it! So what other customs and rules are there during the New Year? "I asked again. Dad stopped what he was doing and patiently explained it to me.

It turns out that there is a custom of setting off firecrackers during the New Year, which comes from the story of the "Nian Beast". A long time ago, there was a "Nian Beast" who lived in the deep sea for a long time. On New Year's Eve, he jumped out of the sea to do evil everywhere. One year, an old man drove away the "Nian Beast" by setting off cannons, wearing red clothes, and pasting red Spring Festival couplets. Only then was he able to calm down. Since then, this method has been spread to this day.

After listening to my father’s explanation, I suddenly realized. I asked my father again: "Why do you have to get a haircut at twenty-seven?" "Oh, there is a saying among the people, 'Twenty-seven means a fine shave, twenty-eight means a stupid shave!'" "So that's it!"

I asked again: "Then why is there a general cleaning?" Dad said: "The purpose of general cleaning is to get rid of the bad luck of the year! This is a good sign!" "Then why do all the gifts include oranges?" I don't understand. . "This is because the word '桔' in orange has the same meaning as '桔', and '桔' and '吉' are very similar. During the Spring Festival, everyone uses oranges as gifts to each other to wish good luck!" "That's it!" Dad added: "There is also the custom of 'receiving the God of Wealth'. The fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the God of Wealth. On the night before the God of Wealth's birthday, every household holds a banquet to celebrate the God of Wealth's birthday." I just All understood.

Today I learned a lot about Chinese New Year customs, but I think they are too superstitious! But it seems to be a kind of fun, as long as you are happy! Why should we be superstitious or not?

My classmates, I have learned a lot from the customs of "Nian", but I don't know what you have learned. If you have any more novel ones, please tell me! Let me first wish you a Happy New Year and all the best!
