My hometown is in the north of Shaanxi Province, and every family has to cut window flowers at New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. People in my hometown are very skillful, and many of them know how to cut window flowers.
Last year I went back to my hometown for New Year's Eve, and I saw that the windows of every house were covered with all kinds of window decorations, including people, flowers, cows, and fish ...... all of which were vivid and beautiful. Each pattern of the windowpane represents a meaning. The windows of my house are also plastered with big roosters and big carp. I heard my mom say that these are pasted on the New Year's Eve to make everything go well in the new year and to receive wealth and blessings. The big carp means that there will be plenty of money in the new year, and the big rooster means good luck. When I saw a Fu (福) character pasted upside down on the door, I asked my mom what it meant and why it was pasted that way. My mom told me that "福倒" means "福到", which means "fortune has come to our house". I was so happy when I saw that I had everything to eat, drink and wear at home, and I was so happy that the blessing had really come to our home!
I was very curious and wanted to try, so I asked my mom to teach me how to cut window flowers. Mom took out a large piece of red paper, folded it eight times, and then used scissors to cut a circle in the center and on the sides. Then she opened the cut window flower, I took a look, it turned out that she was cutting the window flower of spring blossoms, swallows flying butterflies dancing. I followed the example, also imitated my mother's style cut a spring blossom window, mom said: "cut good, like a look. Spring is coming, you have to study hard, don't let down this great time."
I remembered my mother's words and studied hard, and when I had time, I also cut some swallows and butterflies and pasted them on the window of my little bedroom.
I love window flowers, and I love my hometown even more! Comments: Smooth language, true and delicate description, rich life atmosphere, expresses the young author's love for his hometown, love the idea of traditional culture. Counseling teacher: Sun Luyin
