When I got home, I looked at the clock, looking forward to having Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early and setting off firecrackers early, but time seemed to be against me, and on this day, the day seemed to be particularly long. At five o'clock, I was a little impatient to wait, so I picked up the "earth red", tied it to a bamboo pole about two meters long, and lit the fuse with a lighter.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a fierce monster called "Nian", which was in the deep sea all year round, and at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, it would come out to trample on the crops, hurt people and animals, and the people complained bitterly. On one occasion he went to the village again to commit a crime, and was scared away by the big red clothes hanging in front of the house. When I got to another place, I was frightened by the lights again. As a result, people have mastered the weakness of "Nian" who is afraid of sound, red, and fire. At the end of the year, people stick red couplets at the door of the house, set off firecrackers, hang red lights, burn firewood in the yard, gather the fire, chop the vegetables and meat with a kitchen knife, make a sound, and then the "year" will never dare to come out again, in the past, the firecrackers were set off in order to drive away the "year", and now the New Year's firecrackers are for the celebration of the festival, therefore, the firecrackers have become a traditional custom of the New Year. Joyful and joyful New Year, firecrackers in every house, this is the most traditional way to celebrate the New Year, and it is also the most enjoyable thing for me to have during the winter vacation.
Chinese New Year's Eve After eating, this is the time when every household sets off firecrackers, the adults and children who are full of joy in the open space downstairs are setting off fireworks, firecrackers, boxes of firecrackers are rising in the air, colorful fireworks bloom like flowers, like meteors, "peacock opening screen", "hundred birds and phoenix", "thousand years of wealth" more than a dozen kinds ......of ceremonial flowers compete in the night sky, the whole sky is reflected colorful, dazzling, dizzying
The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year and welcomes the new year happily.
The Spring Festival is the most traditional, lively and grand festival in China. On the eve of the Spring Festival, people who work outside all year round can't wait to rush home, in order to have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with their families.
During the Spring Festival, every household will prepare enough New Year's goods to buy new clothes for the children, the elders will be busy steaming steamed buns, making dumplings, fried balls, and braised vegetables, and the children will be busy setting off fireworks and carrying lanterns, all of them are beaming.
The busiest and most lively day was on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, grandma and grandpa were busy pasting the Spring Festival Lian, and Dad followed the custom of the grandmother's family to paste the Spring Festival Lian at night, and habitually pasted the word "Fu" upside down, indicating that Fu to Fu!
This year's New Year home is very lively, aunt's family, uncle's family and we went to grandma, grandpa's house to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, early in the morning adults began to prepare a variety of dishes, more than five o'clock, the dishes began to be served, full of a large table of dishes, really rich, grandma told me the meaning of each dish, what impressed me the most was fish and balls, braised fish represents the whole family in the coming year, more than every year;The ball represents the reunion of the family. Our family sat around the round table, gathered and drank happily, the juniors toasted to the elders, wishing the elders good health and happiness, and the elders wishing the juniors success in their studies. Everyone chatted while eating, especially my mother was the funniest, and she was able to remember some interesting stories about her and her aunt and uncle when she was a child, which caused everyone to laugh from time to time, and tears were about to burst into laughter!The laughter and warm blessings of the family made me feel not only the excitement and joy of the Spring Festival, but also the family affection, and our loving family shared the joy of family together.
After dinner, the elders began to give out red envelopes, and then my uncle took us downstairs to set off fireworks, colorful fireworks, some like heavenly maiden scattered flowers, some like blooming peonies, some like blooming chrysanthemums, red, yellow, blue, orange, purple, dazzling, dizzying, gorgeous and colorful fireworks across the night sky, adding a festive atmosphere to the festival!We laughed, ran, made noise, and enjoyed this happy moment!
