In order to dream and live, many young people leave their hometowns and work in strange and prosperous big cities. At the end of the year, I will only go home when the end of the year is approaching.
Hometown, for many people, is a pure land in their hearts, which carries people's memories and emotions. No matter what you have experienced outside, the moment you embark on the journey home, you feel very peaceful and warm.
In the eyes of young people, the New Year's flavor of the countryside has a unique charm. It's not just a traditional festival, it's a way to get back to nature and experience local culture.
If you have money or no money to go home for the New Year, even if you squeeze the train home, you feel very happy! ”
When I go home for the New Year, I look at the place where I have lived for many years, and I always feel that the air here is sweet, and it seems to be back to when I was a child! ”
The taste of the rural New Year is the hush and warmth between the neighbors, the care and care of the elders, the dumplings made by the mother and grandmother, the couplets pasted by the father and the younger brother, and the firecrackers. ”
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, the Spring Festival in the countryside seems to be more quiet and peaceful, and the flavor of the New Year is stronger. After the twentieth day of the lunar month, every household is busy preparing for the New Year, busy cleaning, steaming steamed buns, frying fritters ......
It is said that "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high", and when the New Year is approaching, relatives and friends will help each other. Everyone sat around to prepare food for the New Year, and they were very busy.
Spring Festival, for all Chinese, is a big day for family reunion. Until now, each place has its own Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
The Spring Festival of northerners began with the "dumpling culture". In the north, every family makes dumplings during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing reunion and wealth.
In addition, in many places, dumplings are filled with coins, candies, and other provisions. Being able to eat these special items means good luck throughout the year.
The Spring Festival in the south begins with making pastries. For thousands of years, southerners have retained the habit of making rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing their ascension every year.
With the improvement of living standards, the shape and taste of rice cakes are also increasing. The Spring Festival is all about good intentions, and the square "ingots cake" and the oval "longevity peach cake" are more popular.
During the Spring Festival in East China, every household is inseparable from tangyuan. In their tradition, tangyuan symbolizes reunion and happiness, and the meaning is particularly good.
As for the fillings and skins of the rice balls, there are too many to count. Sesame filling, peanut filling, meat filling, etc., different fillings also represent different blessings.
In the hearts of many young people, the taste of the countryside is a traditional custom engraved in their memory. Even after being away from home for many years, I still remember the customs unique to my hometown.
For young people in Huizhou, Anhui Province, the flavor of the rural New Year is "Big Knife Dance" and "Bench Dragon". This should be a unique folk entertainment activity in Xucun, Huizhou, which is difficult to find elsewhere.
30 wooden planks 2 meters long and 15 centimeters wide are used to form the "Bench Dragon" program. With the sonorous drum music, it tosses up and down, becoming a unique scenery.
For the young people of Wei County, Hebei Province, the Spring Festival "Fire Dragon Dance", "Twisting Yangge" and "Cutting Window Flowers" are big programs they have seen since childhood.
Weixian paper-cutting has been around for a hundred years, and it is the only dotted paper-cut in the country that focuses on "yin carving" and supplemented by "yang carving". All the friends who have seen the paper-cutting of Wei County are full of praise for it.
Young people are busy with work, hard work, and life, and they are on the front line of work all year round, and they rarely have time to go home.
And the Spring Festival gave this group of young people a reason to go home. Parents and family members began to greet ** early and asked when the young people would go home for the New Year.
The Spring Festival in the countryside is always so simple and pure. Young people will follow their parents and go door to door to greet the New Year; I will also gather and chat with my relatives under the arrangement of my family.
I have to say that the Spring Festival is the best bond to maintain family affection. Relatives who haven't seen each other for a long time sit together, chatting about their lives in the past year, and telling how much they miss each other.
This kind of communication is not only a verbal exchange, but also a spiritual communication. Every time I visit relatives and friends, I feel like I have returned to my childhood, and I am very happy.
Of course, young people will feel happier if they don't ask about salary, don't ask about work, don't urge marriage and childbirth. After all, what young people are most afraid of is facing the "friendship bombardment" of their loved ones.
Summary:It is said that the taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, but the young people who have left their hometowns to work hard still hope for the New Year the most. Because of this, they have a reason to go home, a reason to relive their childhood memories again.
