Legend has it that the lion is one of the lucky symbols of the Chinese people, which can ward off evil spirits and symbolize solemnity and wealth.
Historically, it has been especially loved by the Chaoshan people. Hong Kong Chiu poet Qiu Yishan (pen name Stone Weng) chanted "Lantern Festival" poem: "Lantern Festival in Long Xiang, Chiu custom folk style like the hometown; is the night before the gods for good luck, sugar lion fruit table peace."
The poem explains that Hong Kong Chiu Chow people have passed down the Lantern Festival to worship the custom of sugar lions. Sugar lions are a kind of sweet made of sugar processing (with syrup into the carving mold casting), the color crystal bright, beautiful modeling decorations, thousands of forms, set arts and crafts, food culture and local customs in one.

We are going to meet in the field to sit on a big dish, and we will marry a good husband in the future."
Shantou farmers winter planted large mustard, stem and leaves, buds large, round, green, bright and beautiful, commonly known as big vegetables. In ancient times, young girls secretly went to the countryside on the night of the Lantern Festival to sit in the field vegetables, meditation: "sit ah sit big vegetables, marry a good husband."
Sincerely praying to marry a good groom to their liking, just like the leaf buds of the dish as clustered, embracing, intimate, good together, the future of the family and harmony, happy life. Another red man is secretly to the countryside to knock down the toilet wall, said to be able to marry "Ya sister" (beautiful wife).

This is the "Lantern Festival hold big pig" custom.
2. What are the habits of the Lantern FestivalThe first month of the first month, the ancients called the night for the "night", and the fifteenth is the first full-moon night of the year, so the first month of the fifteenth for the Lantern Festival.
It is also known as the "Lantern Festival". The Lantern Festival has always been highly valued by the people in the folklore.
During the Lantern Festival, in addition to burning lanterns to watch lanterns, eat lanterns, riddles, folk songs and dances, dragon dances, lion dance, stilt walkers, rice-planting songs, running boats and other colorful entertainment activities, the degree of festivities can be comparable to the Spring Festival, so people are accustomed to a series of recreational activities during the Lantern Festival collectively referred to as the "Lantern Festival". Therefore, it is customary to collectively call the series of recreational activities during the Lantern Festival as the "Lantern Festival. The first month of the 15th Lantern Festival Kaiping folk Lantern customary cooking dumplings.
A folk song sings: "Happy to eat the Lantern Festival pills, family reunion." Tangyuan symbolizes reunion, meaning good luck.
Soup dumplings are generally made of glutinous rice flour rolled into balls and boiled in water, there are sweet and savory dumplings. When making sweet dumplings, Kaiping people used to put a little ginger in the sugar water, which has a special flavor.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, there are dragon dances, lion dances, lantern riddles and other recreational activities in the overseas Chinese township of Kaiping. Kaiping dragon dance is quite unique, the image of the dragon is different, there are cloth dragons, yarn dragons, paper dragons, grass dragons, etc., generally made of bamboo, wood, paper, cloth, straw and so on.
As a child, I have watched the night of the Lantern Festival dance grass dragon, straw tied into a large grass dragon, about three or four feet long, the dragon body mounted on the point of the candle, a moment to curl up into a pile, a moment of uncertainty, giving people a sense of mystery. Then say lion dance.
Kaiping's lion head painted color generally red, black two-color respectively on behalf of Guan Gong, Zhang Fei, and there is the difference between civil and military lions. The lion is the king of beasts, but also folklore in the beast, popular.
Every Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, a team of lions through the streets, door to door to people to pay tribute to the New Year, to show that the lion in the door, good luck. Market town stores in order to attract a lion, always set up at the door "green" (i.e., lettuce with a red envelope, red envelope with money), so that the lion in the sound of firecrackers and drums to worship and dance a little bit, articulate "green" and go, so-called "picking the green! "
The Yuanxiao Lantern Festival is the most important event of the year.
Lantern Lantern riddles, elegant, but also Kaiping folk customs, riddles in China in ancient times, also known as "Yu words", "cryptic language". "Yu" and "hidden" are hidden meaning, the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou people in the Lantern Festival will be riddles pasted on the Biza lamp, so the name "lantern riddle".
Now people say lantern riddle, in fact, is the riddle, not necessarily affixed to the lamp. In Kaiping, the riddles are posted on the wall or hung on a rope during the Lantern Festival.
When I was a child, I participated in the Lantern Festival riddles in the village, which was very interesting. The riddles were pasted on the wall and whoever guessed them got a candy.
We, the greedy children, often to eat sweets and think hard, once guessed, jumping with joy. In retrospect, I still think it's fun to guess the riddles.
3. How to write a good essayAccumulation is the basis of writing a good essay Writing is the mobilization of language information in the brain to stimulate the cerebral cortex cells between the information recollection, exchange and screening, so that the accumulation of things combined with their own feelings into the process of text.
Therefore, to write a good essay, the first thing is to accumulate. Elementary school students from the beginning of school to start learning the language, has begun to consciously write the accumulation.
First of all, the accumulation of words, then the accumulation of words, until the accumulation of sentences, paragraphs and articles. A student writes a composition, no matter whether it is good or bad, he has used his accumulated words, phrases and sentences in the process of writing.
Children who have accumulated a lot of money tend to have rich language, vivid and beautiful composition, reasonable composition structure, and clever ideas. The children who have accumulated less often write compositions that are pale and simple.
If a student's stomach is empty, to make him write a good composition, it is like "a clever woman can't cook without rice". So, the basis of the student to write a good essay is to make a lot of scientific accumulation.
In a few years of teaching composition, I asked the students to carry out a lot of accumulation, and now some of the insights recorded, with everyone **** with the discussion. First, clear the object of students accumulation Students need to accumulate something to help their writing.
This is the first thing we need to recognize clearly. Generally speaking: good vocabulary, beautiful sentences, wonderful paragraphs, excellent articles, as well as afterwords, proverbs, famous quotes, ancient poems, etc. are the object of accumulation.
A student who is full of good words and phrases, in the writing of the time will be able to hand, for my use. A student has read and memorized a large number of articles, in the writing will be in the subconscious will be other people's article structure, and ideas and their own innovative combination, to create a more excellent work.
Second, recognize the long-term nature of the accumulation of students single analysis of the word "accumulation". Accumulation means to gather gradually.
Accumulation is a long-term process of building up. The accumulation of essays is not a matter of a day or two, or a month or two.
It requires students to be persistent and develop good habits of accumulation. Only in this way can the accumulation of little into much, can lay down a solid foundation of composition.
Third, grasp the ladder of accumulation of students Accumulation should be reasonably divided into levels according to the cognitive laws of students. You can't let a child who just knows how to write a few words go on to memorize profound masterpieces.
The article is good enough to be understood and digested by the students. So according to the cognitive pattern of students we can roughly give them three levels.
It's like a ladder, so that the students go up the ladder gradually. 1, first and second grade students can let them accumulate a lot of vocabulary.
And ask to use most of the accumulated vocabulary to make sentences. In first grade, you can ask students to copy the words in their accumulation books and then use the words to say sentences orally.
Note that each sentence must be said correctly and fluently. In second grade, students should not only copy the newly mastered word in the accumulation book, but also write sentences with the word.
On the basis of writing each sentence correctly and smoothly, try to write specific and vividly. You can even use several accumulated words in a sentence at the same time.
In addition to accumulating a lot of vocabulary, first and second graders can be made to memorize a lot of ancient poems. It is not required that the child be able to understand the meaning.
Just memorize the catchy verses.
The difference is that children at this age have a certain ability to understand. They can be asked to accumulate vocabulary based on idioms, proverbs, and epigrams, especially more idioms.
It is also required to be able to use the accumulated vocabulary to write beautiful and vivid sentences. Children who are able to do so can be asked to write a paragraph.
In addition, every time you accumulate, you must also ask to memorize good sentences, and memorize the sentences in the accumulation book. 3, fifth and sixth grade accumulation should be based on reading.
Ask them to read a lot of good articles. Record the good passages and circle the passages and mark the good words and sentences.
They can also be asked again to accumulate ancient poems. Silently write down the ancient poems that they used to memorize and know well, and ask them to understand the meaning and feel the mood of the poem.
Fourth, teach students the method of accumulation Accumulation should be read, memorized, remembered and understood organically together. The best way to accumulate is to read by heart.
The object of reading is not only limited to the composition. The best way to do this is to read the book with care and attention.
All kinds of books, all kinds of articles should be read. Teach your students to read every time: 1.
Draw out the good words and phrases, draw out the appreciation, draw out the interesting attraction of their own place. 2, while reading and memorizing.
The good words and phrases, paragraphs excerpted in the accumulation book. Targeted memorization is also a very effective accumulation.
When the students are worried about a certain composition, there is no way to write. Instead of teaching him to write one sentence at a time.
Instead of teaching him to write one sentence at a time, we should let him come up with his own ideas. You can ask him to find a lot of related essays and materials and ask him to read them carefully.
And memorize and record the good ones in a book. After that, then ask him to write.
You can let him imitate, but not allowed to flip through the book and accumulation of books, not to mention the example of copying. This method is more suitable for children with poor composition skills.
On the one hand, it can help him finish his essay, and on the other hand, it can cultivate his good habit of writing his own essay. The most important thing is that when you finish the essay, the things you have accumulated before have been internalized into your own.
Accumulation is actually everywhere and at all times. You can absorb a lot of good vocabulary, sentences, and writing materials by listening to others, watching TV, and traveling.
Students should be taught to keep these materials in mind and record them in a timely manner. In addition, it is necessary to ask students to prepare a good accumulation book.
This book should be of good quality, of a certain thickness, preferably hardcover, and easy to keep. Students are asked to keep the used-up accumulation book for sure.
For children this is a treasure. The most important thing is to keep accumulating, but also to teach students to review in time.
Every once in a while, go through what has been recorded before. To achieve the effect of consolidation.
Fourth, cultivate students' interest in accumulation Since accumulation is so important, we need to cultivate students' interest in accumulation. Never let students feel that accumulation is a burden.
First of all, students should never be assigned too much accumulation work. What we want is to accumulate a little into a lot, and.
