Seven 0 after my childhood learning life in the 1980s was in the western Henan coal city of Yima over the coalfields across hundreds of miles: in the western Henan earth distribution of more than a dozen coal mines, as a pearl embellished with this yellow land. Mines on the railroad running every day with the black smoke of the steam train, pulling a column loaded like a mountain of gold running to the four corners of the motherland. Coal city is located in the west of Henan, located in the ancient road of Bancheng, north of Shaofeng, south of Luoyi. It is connected with the ancient capital Luoyang in the east and the famous historical city Xi'an in the west. The Longhai Railway runs across the east and west, and passes through the south side of the train station, and the deafening steam engine train with black smoke is speeding up. The Yima Mining Bureau was one of the top 500 mega state-owned enterprises in the country and ranked 226th in terms of corporate efficiency. The school where my father taught belonged to the Yuejin mine, near the train station. From east to west, a mining highway passed through the four mines of Changcun, Yuejin, Beiputian, and Qianqiu (Beiputian is an open-air mine with the most coal trains, spraying a trail of snow-white steam rumbling through the mines), connecting to the Mining Bureau at the east site. The street in front of the train station to the east site of the Mining Bureau was the busiest and most bustling place in Yima at that time. In my childhood, the Spring Festival in the coal city, there was a special flavor of the year, is a bright landscape.
Into the waxing moon, after the "Lahai" year is getting closer and closer to us, a song circulating in the north sings the flavor of the year:
Twenty-three, sacrifices to the gods of the community, twenty-four, sweeping the house;
Twenty-five, grinding tofu; twenty-six, to buy meat;
Twenty-seven, to catch a chicken, twenty-eight, to the surface of the hair;
Twenty-nine, to the surface of the hair;
Twenty-nine, to the surface of the hair.
On the 29th, I steamed steamed bread, and on the 30th, I stayed up all night.
The dumplings on New Year's Eve are made every year, and on the first day of the New Year, I pay my respects to the New Year.
Lunar New Year's Eve 22, the children of Coal City winter vacation, the streets and alleys of the mine ushered in the sound of laughter, a group of children whistling, backpacks all the way to the home, laughing and bouncing. And parents together to "catch the meeting", procurement of New Year's goods, happy over the New Year. On the "meeting" goods stalls are set up on both sides of the street, food, clothing, play, with a wide range of products, a glance can not see the end. Buy New Year's goods people, with their children, one after another. Parents laughing and joking, carefully selecting a variety of New Year's goods: candy, dried fruits, pastries, meat, vegetables ...... There is a kind of cake called "sugar corner" is very attractive: made of flour in the shape of a curved moon, the surface layer is covered with shiny white sugar, white, yellow and brown colors, and a bite inside there is a packet of sticky rice. A bite inside there is a packet of sticky sugar liquid, you will feel like eating honey in general, sweet New Year's flavor.
Twenty-four sweep the house, early in the morning parents began to clean, we also joined the cleaning of the hot and sweaty. The trash was cleaned away, looking at the clean and bright house heart warm. Twenty-five, out of the frying pan. My father stacked several layers of bricks in the house, set up a frying pan, and with the wood burning brightly, he fried pot after pot of tofu, chicken nuggets, sugar cakes, meatballs, and veggie meatballs, and the table was filled with plate after plate. Twenty-six, make the cold noodles. Twenty-eight, make the noodles. Twenty-nine, steam the buns. Early in the morning, the whole family was busy.

The flavor of the year is about sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch and blessing and hope.

The table was piled high with "Spring Colors in the Garden," "Five Fortunes at the Door," "Abundant Grains," "Seeing Joy on the Way Out," and "Auspicious Stars," all of which were written by my father, who was also the author of a series of Chinese couplets and banners, "Five Grains in Abundance", "Plenty of Food and Clothes", "Peace in and out", "Six Animals in Prosperity" "Congratulations to Fat Choy"...... on the door, table, cabinet, noodle tank, water tank, gate, yard, chicken nests have become a red seal, a red, full of the flavor of the festival, we are happy to look at the smile.

The table was full of dumplings, and the ones that couldn't fit on the table were placed on the lid of the box.

"Knock knock" ear-splitting sound to wake us up, it turned out that my father in the release of the door cannon. We climbed up and set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year. Children with the neighbors of the firecrackers, pick up the ground did not detonate the small guns lit to play, a ringing and another then ringing, one after another, the children ran sweaty, a time when the sound of firecrackers resounded through the coal city. On the first day of the first month of the New Year, candies and dried fruits were freely available, and the New Year's money was given out on the way out. Wearing new clothes, firecrackers, buying gifts, watching movies, shopping downtown, receiving red envelopes, happy New Year!
The flavor of the year, overflowing in everyone's face, a frown stretching, smiling smile, full of blessings, so that the flavor of the year more and more thick

Twelve Chinese zodiac signs, the Wukong eight rings, trains and cars ...... to see a person's eyes are blurred, of which there is a "child lotus lamp" a open and close, the most striking. A naked boy standing on the lotus platform, lotus flower when the child "bzzz" a pee out of a bubble of water, splashing people a head and a face, attracted the crowd laughed and dodged.
Each mine has a light show, social fire, and to the city, the Mining Bureau, mining tour. Mining gates are decorated with lights, the entrance hung with a huge red spring couplets, a door into a sitting on a long wood wearing a singing opera robes flower face clowns pounced, eight beard also a warped a warped, comical. The school's military drum team is also performing here, students wearing uniform military uniforms, a move a very godlike. "Good! Good!" West came a burst of applause, approached to see the original lion dance. A large square table layer by layer stacked up, stacked higher and higher. The lion on the square table jumped with joy, following the person holding the embroidered ball layer by layer to climb high, look at the people under the stage wide-eyed. And the acrobatic show in front of the club caused a lot of screams. An iron pole stands in the square, higher than the organization building, two ropes pulled to the ground. Just see an acrobatic performer climbed up the iron rod, stood on the top of the bowl thick rotating feet, see people sweaty palms. "Whoosh" sound on the top end of the iron rod, hands grasping the rope speed to the ground, attracted a crowd screaming ......
Cannon rising colorful, the whole coal city immersed in the sound of the holiday fireworks fireworks, fireworks show opened the prelude
These fireworks bloomed one after another from the bottom to the top. Colorful fireworks are like a beautiful meteor shower, is gradually falling to the ground. Yima Mining Bureau authorities opposite the roof of the building has been sprayed around, as if a pot of gold chrysanthemum, to send people happy. The "golden chrysanthemum" slowly shrinks, and finally disappears into the night sky with the music. Suddenly, a scream broke through the sky, dozens of meters high in the air burst, many colorful "raindrops" from the sky down, as fairies scattered flowers, the night as day.
Just listen to a loud bang, fireworks to the sky to shoot to the sky, in the sky exploded a beautiful sparks, with the fall of a small "parachute", colorful, beautiful. Just heard a few dull sound, a firework with red sparks up into the sky, a few crunching, the night sky bloomed with beautiful flowers.
