Because I am rural, in our Jiangxi side, our county has a lot of folk customs, many of which have been handed down in ancient times, and now people are getting lazier and lazier, and many of the Guanyin Grandmother and Niangniang will be held in the past, and they don't do it, maybe many people don't live in the village anymore, and go to live in high-rise buildings in other places, but some things that should be done still have to be done, such as the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival is very important for rural people.
Chinese New Year's Eve is the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this day is relatively busy, our side cleans up in the morning, sticks the Spring Festival, but also helps the uncle and cousin's family to help together, after being busy, we have to take tobacco and alcohol to the uncle's family, tobacco and alcohol children are indispensable for the year's money, this is also very stressful, no money is really difficult, in the afternoon we are waiting for everyone to go to the ancestral grave to worship the ancestors, our side is called ""send the play". It is to take some rice and meat, bring fireworks, firecrackers, paper money and other items to the old grandparents to worship together, the distance is relatively far, there are many people to worship, used to walk, now people are driving, the whole process is an hour, basically every family has to go, we are going with cousins, every time we go to the pressure is very high, because we don't get money, there are many uncles and brothers who are criticized, it is very embarrassing.
After coming back, I will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, three bows and nine knocks before and after, and I am ready to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner when I am done, generally my mother gets up very early to work, my mother is really hard! Now eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is getting earlier and earlier, eat at five o'clock, go to the door after eating, and meet those who eat late can also drink a few glasses to feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
Chinese New Year's Eve night is all baking fire chat and playing cards, used to often stay all night, now I don't go to play cards at night, go to the small house to sit, come back to play mobile phone sleep, we can't take a bath on Chinese New Year's Eve, used to wash a few days in advance, now it doesn't matter. The rules vary from person to person.
The busiest is the first day of the first lunar month. We go to bed before 12 o'clock to set off firecrackers, the first thing to do in the morning is to go to the ancestral hall to worship fireworks and firecrackers, busy to worship the New Year, the first is to see if there is anyone in the village last year, the first day of the new year to go to his house to worship the deceased, that is, to take a firecracker to go, sometimes several, really busy, after doing this is to go to the door to go to every house, mainly the age of the seniors, I generally go to each family, I pay more attention to etiquette feelings, my own generation in the village is also very big, But now that I'm young, I don't care about anyone else.
It's embarrassing to mix badly, people say that the elders are big, I'm still middle-aged, no one pays New Year's greetings, go to other people's homes are drinking tea and smoking, some people go to the door within a few seconds, that is, go through the motions, sometimes dozens of people at the door of the house, people have not finished smoking and left, not to mention sitting down and chatting, of course, the host is busy, others are also busy, it just means it, this New Year's greeting activity I usually have to get until 11 o'clock, really tired! Especially last night, if you stay up late, it's really unbearable, there are ten families in the village, at least 60 have to run, it's really tiring.
After walking in the village, we have to go to the temple, the temple is also crowded, we have a small temple here, more famous, many people are very superstitious about the Bodhisattva Buddha statue inside, but also used to customs! On the first day of the new year, thousands of people took firecrackers and went up to worship the Bodhisattva, and there were always acquaintances inside, and it was very lively. Many people will draw lots to see how their financial luck is, whether their marriage is good, and whether their families are safe or not.
There was nothing to do on the afternoon of the first day of the new year, many of them were playing cards and walking around the village. In the evening, I also played cards and chatted. People in our village love to play cards, I used to lose a lot, and I chatted with Fa Xiao to play cards, now I don't play cards, I play computer rest at home.
The second year of junior high school is relatively busy, and if you get married, you have to go to your mother-in-law's house, what about me! I have to go to my uncle's house, my house is also my alone, I go for a day, the eldest uncle and the second uncle's house have a meal, every year those cousins and sisters chat and drink together, because I am not married, it is very embarrassing to go, I am always said, there is no way to go, uncle.
My family also has a lot of relatives coming to my house, cousins, aunts and brothers-in-law, I am usually not at home, it is lively! But my parents are busy entertaining guests and setting up banquets, and now that my mother is older, my sisters will help cook, usually two or three tables.
The third year of junior high school is not so busy, and I usually don't go to relatives, unless someone died last year and I want to go. Nothing else. In recent years, I have been a relative from morning to night on the fourth day of junior high school, and many people have to pay attention to it once a year. If you want to give money and buy gifts for the New Year, it depends on your personal mind, I usually have two or three hundred yuan, the same for each family.
There are many relatives who generally go before the seventh day of the first month, and then there are people who get married and do some happy events to go late, and there is also to pick up guests, that is, to buy a few tables of meals at home to take those elders over to eat, which many people do not do, and some people will pick up, such as uncles, uncles and uncles.
Our side used to start the dragon dance after the seventh day of the first month, now people are getting lazier and lazier, the dragon is really fun and very lively and tired, now it is the fifteenth night of the first month of each family to walk a trip, the age of the dragon dance can not bear, usually do not exercise, really no, very good at accidents, I remember swimming a few times before, sweating and running not fast, often wrestling can not eat, physical exhaustion, very dangerous, there is fireworks and firecrackers are not safe and more afraid, when the dragon goes to other people's houses at night, the house has to put some tea ghosts, cigarettes, There are also a lot of fireworks to prepare, which is really fun, and the tour leader has to talk about color, which is very funny.
After every household has finished, they will enter the ancestral hall, and they will be busy until 12 o'clock, and the dragon will go to the sky to greet the New Year together. This is how the Lantern Festival is lived, I rarely eat rice balls, some people still make rice balls, and now many people are selling rice balls.
In the past, we liked to watch the Spring Festival Gala, sometimes we would rather not play cards to watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV, it is really satisfying and happy, the most afraid is the power outage, we used to stop the power every Chinese New Year's Eve, sometimes it was stopped for a long time, and the taste of waiting was not good! I'd rather not sleep, I really miss that time! I didn't have a TV before, so I had to go to other people's houses to squeeze the door, and I moved a stool outside in the winter to watch, and I didn't feel happy at that time! At that time, the Spring Festival Gala sketch cross talk songs were very good, but now? Not many people watched it, they were all mobile phones that could watch replays, watch more brilliant programs, and selectively watch them, and there were very few people who watched them completely, yes! The beautiful days of the post-80s have passed, these are some of the customs and customs of our Spring Festival, and now many customs and customs have been extinguished, and there is no New Year's flavor, and they are all dedicated to earning money to take care of the family, indeed! With the changes in society and people's lifestyles, many traditional Spring Festival customs and rules have gradually disappeared, which makes the atmosphere of the Spring Festival become less and less.
I really hope that many folk customs will be preserved in today's society, with the advancement of science and technology and the acceleration of globalization, many folk customs are gradually disappearing. However, these folk customs carry our history and culture and are the precious wealth of our nation. Therefore, I think we should try to preserve these folk customs and let them continue to be passed on.
Folklore is our cultural heritage. They represent our history and culture, the root and soul of our nation. If we lose these folk customs, we lose our cultural roots. Therefore, we should treat them as valuable cultural heritages and actively protect and pass them on.
Folklore is also a way for us to socialize. In traditional folklore events, people come together to celebrate and share happiness. This way of socializing not only helps to strengthen the cohesion of the community, but also promotes communication and interaction between people. Therefore, the preservation of folk customs is also a way to maintain community harmony.
Folklore is also a way for us to express our national identity. By participating in and enjoying folklore activities, we can better understand our cultural background and roots, so that we can express our national identity more proudly. This sense of national identity not only helps to strengthen our self-confidence, but also promotes national unity and social stability.
I believe that we preserve and pass on folk customs. Let the folk customs continue to be passed on and leave a valuable cultural heritage for our people and future generations. Then it depends on the opinions of those experts, many things we have nothing to do, for example, now the countryside is practicing cremation, many customs of carrying the coffin and eight immortals can not be seen before, the restoration of burial is the voice of many people, I am personally more afraid of fire, I am really afraid. I don't want cremation in remote villages, is it really for the sake of land and environmental protection? It's been down for thousands of years, hasn't it? Rich people are not still all kinds of land, wasteful, cemetery big to death. Ay! I don't know how you feel after reading it? Comment support is welcome.
