The sixth grade hometown custom composition is 300 words.
Once upon a time, whenever we were in Tomb-Sweeping Day, our family would always get together for dinner, especially the Youth League. From 70-year-old grandparents to three or four-year-old brothers and sisters, no one doesn't like to eat green balls.
Qing Tuan, as its name implies, is a small blue ball. It looks like a green gem, round and chubby, which makes people feel very cute.
Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, my sisters always help adults make green meatballs, mix wormwood juice into glutinous rice flour, then wrap their favorite fillings, knead them into meatballs and steam them. When we are doing it, we can't help stealing some. Mom saw it and frowned. "Hey, how many green groups are missing?" At this time, we hid in the house and secretly laughed.
As soon as the youth league came up, we immediately reached for it. My brother and sister refused to eat candy and cried for the Youth League. At this time, the elegance of a lady on weekdays has long been forgotten by us. We just want to eat more green balls, holding three or four green balls in one hand and scratching with the other. When all the other dishes were served, we watched the adults eating chicken, duck and fish with relish and drooling. But the green ball has been stuffed into our throats. Can we still eat? So I secretly scolded myself for eating so many green balls in the first place. But when Tomb-Sweeping Day meets the Youth League next year, we can't help but reach out and grab it.
Now when I see dumplings on the street, I will pester my mother to buy them for me, but when I eat dumplings outside, I always feel something is missing.
Everyone's hometown has its own special customs, and of course my hometown is no exception. The custom in my hometown is to worship Aobao.
Sacrificing Aobao is a traditional Mongolian sacrificial activity. On this day, herders will go to Aobao in droves to offer sacrifices. They will place Buddha statues on Aobao, erect prayer flags, and worship beef, mutton and milk together in front of Aobao. Then, the lamas began to burn incense and light lamps, chanting prayers, and the masses made three turns around Aobao from left to right, hoping to usher in a bumper harvest year.
Aobao is Mongolian, meaning heap or bulge. Aobao is usually located on high mountains or hills, because they think there is a road to heaven on the tall and majestic mountains. Aobao is a cone-shaped solid tower made of stone, with a long rod inserted at the top, animal hair horns and warp cloth tied at the head, and stepping stones burning cedars on all sides; There are also branches planted next to Aobao, which are used to make whole sheep, koumiss, butter and cheese. When offering sacrifices, in ancient times, shaman wizards beat gongs and drums, recited spells, worshipped and prayed; In modern times, lamas burn incense and light lamps, chanting scriptures and chanting.
It is precisely because of the different customs and habits in different regions that we have a profound China culture, which we must pass on.
Hongshan Culture is an ancient civilization living in Hongshan District of Chifeng City and its surrounding areas, with a large number of cultural relics, relics and abandoned altars. Hongshan Culture Festival is an extension of this.
Then how was Hongshan Culture discovered? A farmer was walking on a mountain road when he met a stone with a regular shape and traces of processing. This is not surprising, but some distance ahead, he came across a building made of stone, similar to a "magic circle", so he contacted the inspectors. The investigation found that there were many small altars around and some ancient ornaments were found around. Obviously, there was an ancient civilization around here, but the cause of extinction is unknown.
Hongshan Culture, transformed from an ancient civilization into a festival, has entered our field of vision, incorporating many modern and multi-ethnic elements.
The activities during the festival include: Fireworks Gala, Hongshan Cultural Relics Exhibition Series, Nadam Convention, large-scale sacrificial activities at Hongshan Ancestor Site, Hongshan Culture Tourism Souvenir Exhibition and Evaluation, Hongshan Culture Painting and Calligraphy Photography Exhibition, and Hongshan Culture Site Inspection.
In fact, every place has its own customs. As long as you pay attention to and understand with your heart, there are legends behind every custom.
On the vast grassland, the Mongolian people who have been living a nomadic life have an annual grand gathering-Nadam.
I have never been to Inner Mongolia, and the biggest regret is that I have never eaten beef jerky or seen Nadam. Nadam began by offering sacrifices to mountain gods and road gods, that is, Aobao, and later developed into the present Nadam after a long time.
As I was born in Inner Mongolia, I often appreciate the grand occasion of Nadam. On the day of Nadam, the vendors gathered together and shouted, and I was among the crowd. People keep smiling at me and pulling me to sell their goods. People are enthusiastic, and many people who are ready to play are pulling horses around the field. The weather was excellent that day, and Wan Li was clear and Wan Li was cloudless, which seemed to congratulate Nadam on its development. Shops sell everything from jewelry to antique Wan Wen and umbrellas.
But the climax of Nadam didn't stop there. National performances and competitions have made the already enthusiastic crowd more excited. The average Nadam can last for three or four days. The first day was mainly the opening ceremony and national dance, and acrobatics were performed immediately. People's applause is getting higher and higher.
The competition is also very popular with the audience. The boys performed horse racing, wrestling and shooting, which was extremely intense on the field and not inferior off the field, with applause everywhere. The athletes on the field are heroic and spirited, giving people a unique sense of heroism of the Mongols.
In a word, Nadam is the expression of Mongolian characteristics and culture, and it is also a way of cultural transmission.
