During the winter solstice, the memory of sweet glutinous cakes
During the winter solstice, I always think of the warm and lively scene in my hometown. At this time of year, people from their hometown gather together to make glutinous rice dumplings and eat them with sugar or crushed peanuts. It is a way to celebrate the harvest of hard work over the past year, and it is also an important ritual to inherit and promote traditional culture. This beautiful traditional Xi made me feel the deep emotions and cultural charm of the people in my hometown.
My hometown is a village surrounded by mountains and rivers, and on the day of the winter solstice, all the men, women and children of the village gather in the square in the center of the village. There is a large wooden table in the square, on which are placed all kinds of materials for making glutinous rice: glutinous rice, sugar, peanuts, etc. Dressed in coarse cloth and straw hats, the village men wash the glutinous rice, soak it for hours, and then take it out and steam it in a wooden kiln. When the glutinous rice became soft and delicious, they poured the glutinous rice on a wooden table and began to make glutinous rice cakes.
Making glutinous rice dumplings is a job that requires skill and physical strength. Two stout men with wooden mallets in hand took turns smashing glutinous rice balls. As the mallet rises and falls, the glutinous rice dough gradually becomes viscous and exudes an enticing aroma. The onlookers couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers and cheers for the people who made the dumplings. This process tends to take a few hours until the glutinous rice dough becomes smooth and elastic.
After the rice dumplings are beaten, people will use a knife to cut the rice cakes into pieces and put them in a bowl for later use. At this time, children will eagerly gather around and taste the sweet taste of glutinous rice cakes with chopsticks or fingers dipped in sugar or crushed peanuts. Adults will enjoy this year's harvest and their hopes for next year. The whole square was filled with laughter and laughter, as if it had become a happy family.
In addition to tasting the deliciousness of the glutinous rice dumplings, people in their hometown will also fry the leftover glutinous rice dumplings in a pot to make crispy and delicious glutinous rice slices. Not only are these dumplings delicious, but they're also shelf-stable and can be eaten as a snack or for breakfast. On this day of the winter solstice, people in their hometown will enjoy delicious food, talk about life, and be grateful for the hard work and harvest of the year.
During the cold winter solstice, people in their hometown celebrate the harvest and reunion by making glutinous rice cakes. This traditional Xi not only inherits the ancient history and culture, but also condenses people's emotions and nostalgia. Whenever I return to my hometown and see the familiar faces and lively scenes, I always feel a warm current in my heart. These fond memories made me deeply feel the preciousness of family, friendship and nostalgia.
Now, I have been working outside my hometown for many years, but every time during the winter solstice, I always think of the rice cakes in my hometown and the warm reunion time. Although I can't go back to my hometown to reunite with my loved ones, I try to reminisce about the good things in my hometown as a way to ease my homesickness. These memories not only made me feel the warmth of my hometown and the power of family affection, but also inspired me to work hard outside and win glory for my hometown.
On the special occasion of the winter solstice, I would like to say thank you to the people of my hometown. Thank you for teaching me how to be grateful and cherish;Thank you for using the charm of traditional culture to make me feel the warmth of my hometown and the power of family affectionThank you for making me realize that only hard work can reap the full fruits.
