What was the most interesting Spring Festival you had?
It existed when I was very young, when I was a primary school student.
10 years ago, the Spring Festival was stronger than it is now, and I can still feel the joy of the Spring Festival when I was a child. Such as eating New Year's Eve, putting up Spring Festival couplets, setting off fireworks, keeping old, wearing new clothes, setting off firecrackers, paying New Year's greetings, eating sweets and so on, can make me happy for half a day. But now I've been through this again, but I don't have the joy of that year.
At that time, the Spring Festival was not as short as it is now. The Spring Festival lasts from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth Lantern Festival, so there are many moments with a strong flavor of the year.
First, New Year's Eve-the beginning of a year's taste
1, paste Spring Festival couplets
On New Year's Eve, the children got up early in the morning, because we were going to help our brothers and sisters put up Spring Festival couplets together. Sometimes instead of helping us, we post Spring Festival couplets wrongly, and then our brothers and sisters will laugh at us. Although we were laughed at, we were very happy after posting Spring Festival couplets, immersed in the joy of posting Spring Festival couplets. The annual flavor of Spring Festival couplets is reflected in the interaction with brothers and sisters.
2. Bao jiaozi
On New Year's Eve, grandma will make a big plate of jiaozi, which is full of minced meat. We are so happy. We always watch when Grandma is helping jiaozi, and sometimes we are happy to help her. When my fingers itch, I imitate the dumpling skin. But the jiaozi I wrapped was always so ugly that I finally ate it.
Grandma will drive us away when she can't stand it and tell us not to make trouble. It was so interesting when I packed jiaozi with my grandma, but now I don't feel that feeling.
Step 3 eat new year's eve dinner
When I was a child, I ate New Year's Eve, and the whole family was round and round, and I could still eat so many delicious foods. Chicken, duck and fish, which were rarely eaten in the past, were put on the table on this day. "Eating" is always so attractive to children, so eating New Year's Eve is a link I felt at that time.
At the dinner table, mom and dad will give us red envelopes, say good things, praise us and tell us to eat more. Grandparents will also give us red envelopes and laugh happily.
Step 4 wear new clothes
After dinner, you take a bath and put on new clothes. At that time, wearing new clothes was a happy thing. Children always get dressed and run out to show off their clothes and shoes with ordinary children.
Step 5 set off fireworks
The fireworks on New Year's Eve are so beautiful that our children always like to go out and watch them. The sound over the fireworks is so loud, and then it presents colorful brilliance, which is very beautiful. Watching fireworks with children and enjoying this happy and innocent feeling together is the pure taste of the year when watching fireworks at that time.
Second, New Year's Day-the climax of the taste of the year
1, Happy New Year
On the first day of the lunar new year, children in rural areas go out with bags. Because there are too many sweets to pack, they have to carry them. At that time, not only friends and relatives came to pay New Year greetings, but all the residents in the village came to pay New Year greetings, so that they could get a lot of sweets.
Happy New Year wishes are seeing bags full of sweets, or going to the village to play with friends. New Year's Day was the most prosperous day at that time.
Step 2 throw firecrackers
After the New Year, children have their own time to play. Everyone went out, ate candy, went to the grocery store to buy a few boxes of firecrackers, and came back to fry the puddle. Most children have done this, throwing firecrackers into water, toilets and even cow dung. It's so interesting to think about it now. It belongs to children's taste. That's it.
Third, the second day to the fourteenth day-the persistence of the taste of the year
1, visiting relatives for New Year's greetings
From the second day to the fourteenth day, it is popular for us to visit relatives and friends and go to relatives' homes for dinner and New Year's greetings. At that time, we didn't have any worries about visiting relatives and friends for dinner, because we were children and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. Unlike now, when I grow up, going to relatives' homes for dinner will be dominated by relatives. Very unfriendly to social terrorists, very old-fashioned, but not at all.
Step 2 eat a hundred meals
The so-called family dinner or visiting relatives is a fixed day for Chinese New Year. Relatives hold banquets, and all localities take turns to cook and eat for one family. If relatives hold a banquet, they can eat until fifteen or even seventeen.
Because of the existence of baifan, the annual flavor here has lasted for a long time. It seems that as long as we don't start school, our new year will not end.
Four, Yuanxiao-the end of a year's taste
Lantern Festival is coming, and the New Year is coming to an end.
When I was a child, I only knew which night I lit a lantern and ate jiaozi, and the Chinese New Year was over. At that time, I didn't know what Yuanxiao meant, but I could feel that after this day, the flavor of the year gradually disappeared.
Lantern Festival, jiaozi, jiaozi, lanterns, ordinary children will start school the next day, and when we start school, the New Year will be completely over.
