Looking forward, looking forward, the footsteps of Chinese New Year are finally close. There are still more than half a month to go before the New Year, and every family will start to plan how to celebrate the New Year.
The sound of firecrackers startled the whole village. The sound of firecrackers startled the whole village! So soon, after the New Year, I am already fourteen years old, and I feel that I have really grown up. I should take advantage of the New Year to celebrate!
New Year's Eve dinner, I rushed "crazy" home. Today's small dishes are different. Look: chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood ...... really have everything. During dinner, my mom handed me a red envelope (I know it's called "New Year's money") and said, "Happy New Year!" I took the red envelope and said happily, "Happy New Year, Mom!" My mom gave another red envelope to my brother. That's when my brother innocently said, "It would be so nice if every day was like New Year's!" "Hahaha!" We laughed loudly. Although I laughed too, I also had my brother's naive thoughts. I believe that we will also have this kind of thoughts: want to eat better, wear better, and get more New Year's money!
After dinner, I took out the fireworks with the children. We first put "banana fan", I hold tightly "banana fan" handle, quickly ignite the fuse, and so the fuse out of the white smoke, followed by sparks shot to the four sides. Unfortunately, you did not see, that scene is really too wonderful; "sparks" is colorful, especially inside the pearl is also sandwiched between the various colors; we also put a "spaceman", lit the fuse, "spaceman" sparks! We also put a "spaceman", after lighting the fuse, the "spaceman" will flash sparks, emit green light, and will be rushed to space.
The year of the lively needless to say is what everyone is looking forward to. But in our happy "crazy" at the same time, my mother told me in a serious tone: "The year behind the heavy responsibility. You have grown up a year, for life should be more of a thought." Yes! In the face of the new year, I want to have more responsibility. I am determined to study hard, with excellent results to repay our parents, teachers expectations of us.
Year after year, year after year, until this year to really taste the flavor of the year.
Expectation of the New Year
In fact, I look forward to the New Year as much as the children, just no longer like them to break their fingers to count how many days before the first day of the first month. The New Year can have a long holiday, have enough time to stay in mother's side, every meal can eat mother steamed I never eat outside the mustard meat, not afraid of body meat in those days night and day long a long ah long. Whenever we raised our mouths over the steaming hot mustard meat, I could see the happiness and satisfaction on my mom's aged face from the arc of her chopsticks.
Mom was very anxious about the New Year. Every year from the 24th of Lunar New Year she was busy in the cold windy yard, scrubbing all the utensils that could hold food. When she saw us, she smiled and took off her flannel hat to show us the sweat on her head. On the twenty-fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she began to organize the steaming of steamed buns and jujube bean buns. We complained that she was asking for a hard time and said to the street to book some steamed buns not on the line, she said that the steamed buns bought that is a what flavor?
Lunar New Year's Day 28, we sisters are busy again to take the time to go home, the day the family to cook meat fried meatballs fried hemp leaves. Even though she has been out of the countryside for a long time, my mom still retains the same habits as when she was in her hometown, and she likes to use the ground pot to cook the meat and fry the New Year's goods. For this reason, she always started collecting sticks and branches in the summer to make a fire for New Year's Eve. She was the only one who knew how to cook and deep-fry all kinds of New Year's goods in that big pot.
On New Year's Eve, I'd like to take some time to go and see what's going on. After a few days of hard work, my mom looked at all the New Year's goods and urged me to eat them. Eat enough to go back to their own homes to keep the New Year's Eve, every year this day of farewell mother and daughter's heart is a different taste in the heart, because according to the rules of married daughters can not keep the New Year's Eve in the mother's home, the second day of the first month of the coming year to come back. And this goodbye mother and daughter feel as distant and long as the mountains and water, in fact, only two days of time. Walking on the path in front of my house, which I have walked countless times, my back is imprinted with warmth and attachment. I walk very, very slowly, but never look back, I pull this warmth and attachment for a long, long time.
The sound of firecrackers was heard from far and near, the air was filled with a tantalizing scent, and the spring festival couplets that had just been put up by people on the roadside were blown by the wind. The bus compartment was empty, the car in the few pedestrians on the street drove very fast, the driver was also anxious to go home for New Year's Eve, his mother at home is also looking out of the window waiting for him to go home to celebrate the New Year. When I got out of the car, I said loudly to the driver, "Happy New Year!"
New Year's in our hope really come
Looking forward to New Year
New Year's is a kind of feeling, an experience, an encounter, and may still be a realm
Staying in my memory of the best experience is the elementary school age in the rural village of Henan grandma's home New Year's day. At that time, every New Year's Eve was the most exciting event in life. Early, just into the winter, before the winter vacation, I was already looking forward to the New Year. Because the New Year meant that all the children and adults would be free for the holidays, not going to work, not going to school, not going down to the fields, not working, and all the people could rest and have fun at home. Of course, I know now that this is just a child's misunderstanding of life, but I still like it very much.
The first fun thing about New Year's Eve is the crowds. I remember one year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, just after breakfast not much effort to have friends and relatives to visit the door, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the guests are still endless. Aunt aunt aunt granduncle aunt granduncle aunt granduncle cousin uncle cousin aunt cousin brother cousin cousin sister cousin, as if the whole world's relatives are gathered together on this day, at noon when the meal, at least set up 10 tables, grandma's home five kilns so big yard are full of people, really a little bit of shoulder to shoulder people's voice of the appearance. I'm proud of the fact that I played shuttlecock with all the kids in the yard and actually beat them all.
The second joy of New Year's Eve is, needless to say, the food. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world," he said. Not to mention the noon meal, that is a lifetime of food are put together, there are white flour buns, white flour steamed buns, fried oil angle, vegetarian meatballs, beef meatballs, chicken meatballs, buckwheat, small crispy meat, and rock sugar lotus seed lily soup and so on. At that time, adults and children could not care about politeness, a plate of food on the table in three or two bites was snatched up. Because everyone's stomach is empty, in normal days can not even eat cornmeal cakes. So, when it comes to the time to eat, no one can care about the face of the moment.
The third good thing about New Year's Eve is that every child looks forward to it, and that is the New Year's money. But in those years, people were poorer than each other, and I still remember clearly that one year the production team gave 50 cents to each family, saying that it was for everyone to buy salt for the New Year. So, although there were many guests, only a few people could really give me New Year's money. My second aunt usually gave me 20 cents, and my third aunt gave 50 cents, often the most of any relative. Most of the others gave a nickel or a dime, and many more couldn't spare a penny. Even so, over the course of a New Year's Eve I would receive almost two dollars, and that was a great deal of money.
For me, there is another unique pleasure on New Year's Day, which is setting off firecrackers. There's nothing unusual about firecrackers, who hasn't played with two-kickers and thunderbolts? The fun for me was playing with firecrackers. That is a kind of two or three layers of paper rolled with some gunpowder and flint made of small cannonballs, pinched in the tip of the finger, with one end to the ground to make a strong fall, "Ba" sound, at any time you can frighten others a jump. In my grandmother's village, there was a family of three brothers who made and sold firecrackers. At that time, my family lived in Shenyang, a big city in the far northeast. Whenever I returned to Shenyang from my hometown after New Year's Eve, I would tell the neighborhood children and schoolmates about all the fun and mystery of wrestling cannons, and sometimes I would tell them about the experience of using baskets to snap birds in the snow or using bamboo gimballs to tie lanterns, which was unheard of, and was coveted by all of them.
Playing too much fun is too much, and one day my father stood on a high cliff top and shouted at me that school was starting, and that tomorrow we would go back to Shenyang, and I was dumbfounded and bawled in front of a large group of children.
Later, with many different life experiences, there are many different life situations or experiences about the New Year.
In the early seventies, with his parents went to the countryside "to take the road of five or seven", in Chantu County, Liaoning Province, the New Year's Day in the East Ga Commune, Miechang brigade. The main features of New Year's Eve there were sticky bean buns, braised vermicelli with sauerkraut and, of course, dumplings stuffed with pork and sauerkraut. Young people play poker at night, betting on cigarettes or dried tofu (i.e. thousand sheets). From dark to dawn, when hungry, they eat the dried tofu first, and whoever loses at the end of the day pays for it. If you are betting on cigarettes, then by dawn the cigarettes will either have been smoked out or will have been poured back and forth into an empty paper tube. Whether cigarettes or dried tofu, do not care about winning or losing, care about a fun only. The New Year's Eve, there are firecrackers, but being in a foreign country, I do not know what year and day is the return journey, there is a faint sadness.
In those years in the countryside, one year I returned to Shenyang, came to the original residence of the family home for the New Year. That night we agreed to stay at Uncle Han's house (after our family went to the countryside, Uncle Han's family moved from the original set of houses into the original belonging to our family's larger set of houses), but at five or six o'clock in the evening, Uncle Han suddenly said, his relatives came without my sleeping place. Although I was already 17 or 18 years old, I had no social experience, so I was cold all of a sudden. I went next door to Uncle Wang's house to say goodbye. Uncle Wang was an administrative cadre and usually didn't socialize much with our family, but he kept me. We had dumplings for dinner, and for the first time I ate "monkey head mushrooms," a rare mountain delicacy that I had heard about for a long time, but had never seen before. Although I slept on the floor at night, I slept very warmly.
Now, I seem to be afraid of the New Year. One reason is that New Year's means I'm getting a year older, and the days of peace and quiet somehow slip away. A more important reason is that New Year's has gradually become less interesting and flavorful: urban and modern civilization refused to visit the door, even if they live in a family home is not happy to visit the door; coupled with many cities have a ban on firecrackers, New Year's is only the meaning of the calendar. So, young people simply went to Christmas to go to Thanksgiving to go to Valentine's Day. So, with the festival as the link for the expression of Chinese culture and Chinese tradition is like the Yellow River dried up and cut off the flow.
New Year's Eve is a kind of emotional cohesion, an emotional melting pot, a kind of spiritual identity, and a continuation of the bloodline. Therefore, I very much hope to find those feelings of my childhood: curling smoke, noisy crowds, the convergence of friends and relatives, enthusiastic firecrackers, as well as all kinds of customs with thousands of years of historical marks ......
I look forward to the feeling of the New Year of the Chinese flavor.
The flavor of the year
Spring wind has been blowing, blooming in the waxing month of the plum blossom has stood in the snow, silently, it will be with the study of the companion, and the wind as a friend. When the spring breeze came the moment, he stretched his waist, shaking up the spirit of ...... the original it is also looking forward to the arrival of spring.
This year is colorful, this year has enough of the flavor of the year, this year fireworks in the sky ......
Snow flavor
What a coincidence! This year has snow!
Drifting in the wind, more than the stars, more than the cotton is white, more beautiful than meteors ...... It is as if God gave us a holy thing, because we also have and learn the same pure heart. Silver, the chimneys on the roof, the shadow of the birds on the antennae pole, the distant lotus ponds ...... I was suddenly reached by my sister's snowballs before turning around, I returned one to my sister with joy, and so a snowball fight began to break out ...... When we play to the exhausted to the point of collapsing in the snow, the snowflakes kissed our little face, very cool, very comfortable. But it was when the snow that had gotten on my clothes melted into sleep that I felt the cold!
The smell of gunpowder
I'm sure it's clear to everyone that the smell of gunpowder is very unpleasant, but the eccentric me tends to think that the smell of gunpowder smells good, and even the smell of gasoline station fumes is just as good to me.
When the first firecracker rang, I already knew it was going to be New Year's Eve, and when dozens of firecrackers rang together I knew it was New Year's Eve. A burst of smoke began to diffuse open, surrounded us heavily, the smoke seems to swallow us generally ...... ears of the firecrackers mixed with the smell of gunpowder, I feel this New Year has a taste ......
But we are here is far less than the city's lively. But with this smell of gunpowder, even a little I'm already satisfied.
The flavor of the meal
Night, quiet. There are no more firecrackers in my ears, but the sound of a lively reunion dinner covers my hearing, and my ears seem to have lost their sense of hearing.......
The table has everything for a sumptuous dinner. Rice cakes, dumplings, roast duck, roast chicken ...... I wanted to suffocate in the air. The young and old at the table were not polite, and in a moment they had eaten it all.
Ah! What an aromatic meal!
The flavor of the year = meal flavor + snow flavor + gunpowder flavor. This year is so over the top.
New Year ! A morning sun breaks through the night sky; a lantern flies up to the eaves; a couplet is pasted on the wall; a new piece of clothing runs away from the closet; a sound of firecrackers resonates through the sky and the earth; a piece of colorful haze flutters in the air; a burst of cheering invites out the red sun; a sentence of blessing spreads from ear to ear -- it's the New Year! The whole of China is in jubilation, and Chinese people all over the world are celebrating the Spring Festival. Looking forward to the message of spring. A wisp of spring breeze sends the aroma of the soil, the melting snow and ice in the sunshine is particularly brilliant. As far as the eye can see, everywhere is a dazzling red, full of joy and festivity! Dressed in new clothes, strolling in the wide streets, both sides of the stores are almost closed, only a few fanfare, a piece of beautifully packaged goods piled up in front of the door, so that people look dazzled. The street is empty, clean and tidy, abandoned the hustle and bustle of the waxing moon, the busy scene of the sea of people, let a person stroll in the spring. A motorcycle, car carrying happy people, and the large bags of rich New Year's goods, run to the parents looking forward to the reunion of their children's home, live a harmonious and happy year! Leading to the long and deep alleyway, a pair of Spring Festival couplets are full of joy and fun; a "Fu" character is strong and golden. Most of these are "senior citizen evening pavilions", which are the most joyful and lively places in the "year". A motor vehicle to this car out of the car full of children; a large door in front of most of the parents standing in good spirits. The car is empty, a house floating out of laughter; narrow road, occupying the road is a wisp of unceasing affection. The flavor of the year is thick, the most thick is the night. The family sits around the dinner table to eat the special meal of the year - New Year's Eve dinner. The New Year's Eve dinner in Hetao has a special flavor. What Loop hard four plates, pork braised sauerkraut, a variety of seasonal dishes on the table. The family openly drink, **** narrative affection. Both the mouth, and fill the stomach, but also warm the heart. Red lanterns emit red soft light, is so beautiful! In this wonderful night of reunion, the beautiful lights of the ten thousand homes, will be what a splendid scene ah! , Another table had long been set up in the living room. Clean and transparent coffee table, was a plate of dried fruit, fruit, candy accounted for a tightly, the TV hosts are also wearing a beautiful holiday red dress, said the words of joy and good luck, some of the old days of serious and cold program has become a favorite Chinese New Year anecdotes, amusing the crowd. However, as long as eight o'clock, thousands of households will become the same program, the face will become the same kind of appearance. In my opinion, this Spring Festival Gala is grand, with many programs and a harmonious and lively atmosphere, which is very wonderful. Both witty and humorous sketches, there are passionate songs and dances; both the elegant and beautiful south, poetic and picturesque; and the north of the passionate, enthusiastic and bold. It was a real treat for my eyes! Among the many programs of the Spring Festival Gala, I only love two programs. Migrant Workers Going to the City" and "Words from the Heart". Into the city" shows the vitality and innovative creativity of contemporary college students, let a person's eyes bright, the spirit of this special group of migrant workers in the city, give a person a dynamic, positive, upward, unremitting feelings, let a person in the dazzling action, to the migrant workers have a kind of more noble respect. I think the "heart" must be the biggest vibration of the program, a group of village children, a body of earthy clothes, a simple face, enough to move people. Perhaps no song and dance passionate, melodious; perhaps no comedy sketches of fun and humor, interesting; perhaps no star big shot of the domineering, fiery performances, but after a sentence, waves of applause, such as water like tide, many people immediately sprinkled with tears of crystal. The natural abandonment of carving and decoration, clear water out of hibiscus. The most innocent faces and the most sincere words are the most powerful tear gas, this power and sensation make people remember the heart. The mind dances, the heart surges, the bells of the New Year come to us, and every heart is captivated by the beauty of spring, which will be ushered in by the observance of the New Year. The night is like a veil, the stars are shining brightly, the breeze is refreshing, the dead branches are sprouting, the new mud is fragrant, and the songs of joy are flying. Spring in the winter's breeding, full of wings, is coming. The four directions of the earth are swirling with the breath of spring! Singing star's singing voice more than one point in the eagerness of spring, laughing star's smile more than one point in the spring of the bright. Spring is coming! It's coming! The light step of the second hand is about to send away the tired god dog, a sound of crisp bell will usher in the lovely golden pig. Spring is finally here, with the hour, minute and second hand family reunion, the firecrackers will be like a flood of ice floes to break through the onslaught. A gift flower like spring bamboo shoots on the night sky, in an instant, the sky a million purple and red, a hundred flowers compete in the magnificent scene. A loud sound also floated, shocked the roof shaking down bursts of snow night; a colorful ball rose into the air, drew a beautiful arc, even the stars and the moon is also dark and colorless. It was really a night sky of fire and silver, a thousand beautiful as a picture. Figures like a flood of gusts like waves, fireworks like bushes in a million birds fluttering. This and the other bloom, this and the other release, as if a volume of changing paintings, giving a person a dream-like feeling! Finally came, the next wonderful spring and fall in anticipation of our sweat, writing this a brilliant "cow" year!
Firecrackers are still so loud, deafening; fireworks are still so brilliant, dazzling. Children are still looking forward to the New Year, adults are still so busy, and I walk in the fireworks brilliant night sky, but feel the flavor of the year this thing a little bit with age and go.
Once upon a time, we are not rich, but the New Year is so flavorful. We started to look forward to the New Year after the winter vacation, and every day we would turn the calendar and count the days. It seems to be a sacred day, all the children can play happily, can happily take the red envelope, although the money in the red envelope is not much, but the feeling is incomparably good. I often wonder if the poorer the place the more flavorful the New Year, whether I should escape to which small village to feel the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival there.
Once upon a time, there was no such a wide range of sweets for you to choose from, and there was no such a sumptuous meal for you to be picky about, but we all ate together at the table and it was always so flavorful, and maybe this meal, the taste of sweets will also slowly disappear with age. Now, life is good, what to eat all year round, and do not have to dial every day to index the day waiting for the New Year. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the government.
Once upon a time, children like to get together and play with firecrackers when the year is over. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a bag of firecrackers, and you'll be able to play with them. And now, everyone sleeps on the first day of the year, but also have to use the cell phone repeatedly called. Eating time also hold a cell phone to play qq, to the mouth a few mouthfuls of rice on the go, and I do not know where to hide to read a cell phone novel. Can't say that this is the harm brought by the cell phone, but this after all affects people's lives now, the old people have not yet properly and the children will say a few words, the children's qq will drip drip drip call endlessly, or phone calls constantly. The old people always sigh, perhaps this is the progress of the times, inevitably.
Once upon a time, there is no computer, there is no this and that online game, the children have no place to go, get together to play chess, adults next to guide, a laughter. And now how, all day bubble in front of the computer, a variety of game icons fill the desktop, across the four or five hundred degrees of lenses, staring at the screen, a moment not to leave. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the company, and you'll be able to get it from the company!
Once upon a time, on New Year's Eve, a family got together and watched the Spring Festival Gala while high on melon seeds, a large family and harmony. Now, there are many more choices in our lives, and we are all open-minded. Thirty nights are spent in Internet cafes, singing karaoke, and hanging out on the streets. Perhaps the past technology is too backward, can only provide you with that dozen inches of black and white Spring Festival, but why change the color, change the bigger, but less so much of the flavor of the year.
Now, there are new clothes, and more trendy; fireworks, and more brilliant; meals, and more sumptuous; New Year's Eve, why the flavor of the year faded so much. Is it really because of my age? Then I'd rather not grow up. I walked under the fireworks splendor, think of the past, maybe that is the sign of life in the past, the improvement of living standards, maybe it is time for something less, maybe the flavor of the year is a victim of this, at least in my eyes.
Now, more and more friends get together to discuss the New Year, will coincidentally talk about the flavor of the year gradually fade. I think this is a sign of growth, this is the beginning of the changes around us, perhaps we should not just talk about how the flavor of the year how light, we should find the innocence of childhood heart, with the eyes of the children again to find around the changes to feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
Now, we have more advanced communication tools, we can have a more powerful communication media, so that the flavor of the year spread here, gradually spread into the hearts of our young, but with our sensible vision to select the flavor of those years of the long tradition, so that they are in our hands to better inheritance, which should be our duty.
Sky fireworks are still blooming, I picked up the ground left behind firecrackers, ignited with fire, like a child thrown into the air, "pop", a loud explosion scattered with a strong flavor of childhood.
The sound of firecrackers in the removal of the old year, the end of each year, can not help but be ecstatic that the Spring Festival will come. Because it is the most important of the traditional Chinese festivals, it is the most grand. I can receive a large amount of money, eat delicious sweets, play with toys I have never played, see the beautiful fireworks. But is the Spring Festival really as grand as it used to be, and am I still as eager for it as I used to be? No.
The Chinese New Year in my childhood was very strong, and my relatives who were far away from home would rush home to celebrate the New Year, bringing back new clothes, candies, and New Year's money. At that time, the night was filled with only starry lights and cheap fireworks. But everywhere was filled with the sound of children's laughter, giggling.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family was together. The family dinner, a sumptuous meal to the young me very full, but still be forced by my mother to eat white rice, said: "New Year's dinner must be eaten." The result was a nose full of food. After the meal, everyone, together again to talk about the world, play mahjong happy until the evening.
There are always two fireworks on the night of New Year's Eve -- one before and one after the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, the family watched the Spring Festival gala, I always wanted to insist on watching the Spring Festival gala, but always fell asleep before it was over, just before going to bed, but still do not forget to remind my mother to wake up before 12:00, but in fact, not once I was woken up. The next day, I would be very sorry and complain that my mom didn't wake me up.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a group of kids would stroll leisurely down the street with the money left over from the "surrender", figuring out which money to spend on fireworks and which to spend on their favorite items. In those days, the Chinese New Year was a very busy time.
Now that I've grown up, the strong flavor of Chinese New Year is only in my memory. We still eat together, the food on the table is more plentiful, but after eating, we go back to our own homes, and do not talk together. Everyone is so busy in their own jobs that they seem to have forgotten whether they are working to live or working to live.
At night, Dad would buy a lot of fireworks. The fireworks burst into the sky, and then another one followed and exploded in the sky. The sky was confused, the eyes were dazzled. But the children laughed less, and I didn't want to get involved. I wondered if the security check was really up to snuff. What if it doesn't? I don't know if it's because I've become more aware of security, or because I've become more afraid of it.
I don't know when, I have been promoted to the "late sleep a family", not until twelve o'clock is not going to sleep, so watching the Spring Festival gala has not been difficult, but would rather stay alone in a side to watch TV shows, not to watch the boring Spring Festival gala with the family. And mom and dad went to the tea house to play cards, brother watching cartoons so that we wait for 12 o'clock
The first day of the New Year's pockets are full of New Year's money, now the New Year's money does not have to be "surrendered". Nowadays, you don't have to buy fireworks, and they're much more beautiful than before. But I miss the days when I had to calculate how to save money.
It's New Year's Eve, but everyone is still doing the same thing as usual. Mom and Dad were still playing mahjong all day, I was still playing on my computer, and my brother was still watching TV. Everyone seemed to be living without each other, eating together and sleeping at home.
Where is the New Year's flavor now? I wonder.
I hope this helps
