The composition of the temple fair of Chenghuang Temple in Xinjiang is 450 words.
My hometown Dingzhou is an ordinary town. It has neither the bustling scene of a metropolis nor the beauty of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. In the village where I live, there are people working and farming. These two main jobs are full of people's lives.
If life is just busy, there is no fun. Fortunately, there are several small festivals that can make people relax. For example, February 2nd, Temple Fair, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival and Winter Solstice are all celebrated here. Whenever the festival approaches, fresh vegetables, chicken, duck and fish will be prepared at home, and the old people will take their children and wait for a meal. Among them, the temple fair festival on March 21 of the lunar calendar is very grand and lively.
The so-called temple fair, that is, a larger trading market than the fair, is more like a department store market. Pots and pans, tables and chairs, clothes and cloth, food and so on, everything. It is said that there used to be people who burned incense and worshipped Buddha, but now there are fewer and fewer. This temple fair is in the form of small pieces, shared by several villages, and the dates of other places are set separately. In fact, it is convenient for ordinary people to buy things, and businesses make some money.
As in previous years, grandma was busy making zongzi and buying fruits and vegetables two or three days before the temple fair this year. Wrap zongzi? Don't you eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival? Not exactly. On this festival, every household makes zongzi. Grandma always wraps it up and watches her take a few reed leaves and wrap one like a magician. After cooking, let it cool, and the white and clean rice is fragrant and sweet in your mouth. Every time you cook, you have to eat one to cool down. In grandpa's words, it is "just eat and don't do it".
On the day of the temple fair, two aunts came, as well as mom, dad and sister. They are so busy with business and work that they can't get together a few times all year round. A holiday, grandma has to prepare for a few days When eating, there is a big table of people around. Grandma is busy cooking, always cheerful and full of fluorescence.
When they get together, they always drink. Wine exhortation, clinking glasses and loud laughter shouted the festive atmosphere to the peak. A group of children outside the window, chasing around, laughing and laughing. This scene is more lively than a concert.
I am also very happy to see grandma smile. She is in poor health. When she was young, she was sick for her life and often took injections and medicines. Every time I say I don't have to worry about my father and others, I care about myself, but even though I am sick, she still misses her children.
"Eat jiaozi!" Grandma brought it to jiaozi. The jiaozi she wrapped was thin and thick, and it was delicious in her mouth.
