Remembering the second day of the Lunar New Year, with a heart of awe to complete the ancestor worship ceremony, worshiping ghosts and gods is not only a reverence for heaven, is not a manifestation of our love for ourselves, cherishing our origins, recalling the old suffering in the form of gratitude, but also with a new look to welcome the new year, a new life, every day with a thriving blessing.
According to the past practice, in the new year, the dragon will organize Yangge to worship the temple, the ancestral training can not be violated, despite the serious outflow of talents in the village, every year on the second day of the first month, people from all over the "same village" gather together, together to beat gongs, drums, shovels, twist Yangge, and line up to participate in the ceremony. There are a lot of new faces this year, the addition of the post-00s has made the original uneven Yangge team encounter new problems again, after a simple training, it is finally found a "sense of rhythm", the old people are struggling to perform, direct, teach, and young people follow the rhythm and drums, so a temporary "Yangge Troupe" was established, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year, which is the magic of this Yangge team.
According to the memories of the old people in the village, the Yangge Troupe was the leading team in Shili Eight Villages, beating a drum beat, high morale, and drawing a circle with both hands above the head, which means that the circle is complete, and it is also a kind of meticulous craftsman spirit. Lei Lei's father, who shoots a big shovel, can be energetic, and even his usually lame leg has improved with the rhythm, which makes people sigh **sexuality**. The slap is also indispensable, and the four beats are not gloomy at all because of the small props, the team members stretch their arms and wave and slap, everyone tries their best to direct the rhythm that may collapse in the next moment, and the result is that everyone is on point. As a conductor, you must have an extraordinary spirit and natural love for Yangge, as well as an instinctive sense of rhythm, which is quite difficult.
After participating in it a few times, I decided to break the convention, break through the "comfort zone", abandon the shovel and beat the drum instead, follow the rhythm of others, and slowly find my own rhythm. At this time, it seems that I am a member of this team, as if I have returned to the time when I was a child chasing adults and set off from the Yangge team, as if I was the protagonist of the year, walking through their long road, following the traces of culture, and feeling the roughness and boldness of the men on the Loess Plateau.
At this moment, let go of the troubles and pressures of life, walk up and feel a sense of rhythm, some people say that Mount Tai to see the sunrise and the small world, today I found that not only mountaineering, the original nostalgia can also make people transcendent outside the object, to isolate themselves from reality for a short time and then take back, is already a different self, this feeling is very wonderful and relaxed, the so-called "wonderful" probably comes from this.
At this moment, the elderly let go of the physical pain, just like Lei Lei's father no longer walks and no longer crutches, just like the second uncle and uncles seem to be in a mental state back to their youth, not inferior to us in the prime of life, I understand the excitement of square dance, I understand the happiness of yoga and aerobics, maybe with this kind of activity, the dopamine of the human brain will make people feel like adding "stimulants". Being a part of it seems to be one of life's great joys.
At this moment, the resentment and unwillingness between neighbors seem to disappear invisibly, and everyone is happy together is the real happiness. I had an epiphany: isn't this the meaning of reunion? Everyone puts aside their preconceptions together, focuses on one thing happily, contacts and feelings, confides in their troubles, forgets all unhappiness, and everyone reaps double the happiness. Some people calculate the cost of going home for the New Year, and choose a more cost-effective party, in fact, the most cost-effective is precisely the most in line with the nature of the heart, when reason defeats freedom, has lost at the starting line.
At this moment, I chose to break out of my comfort zone rightly, and suddenly found that it is also a beauty to be isolated from it and to be integrated. If you are bigger, you will be with the light, and if you are smaller, you will be drunk with the people, and those who are drunk and can wake up with joy and write are naturally people like me who still have expectations for life.
When I arrived at the small temple, the Huangmei tune of Yangge singer Uncle Liu made me dream back to my childhood, and the ending word rhymed like a rhythmic poem, but there was more freedom and freedom, more hope for folk customs, and more nostalgia that was difficult to give up. We bless, we pray: the life in the countryside is better, the days of working are richer, the wisdom of walking is accessible, and the beautiful future will be higher and higher. We are grateful for the present, embrace the present, we hope that life must be happy, we look forward to the spring breeze proud, we wait for the cave room candle night and the title of the gold list, the beauty is not far ahead waiting for you and me.
It's a short day, just a few hours to get together and separate, it's a long day, and we seem to have lived through generations of hearty lives. This day allows us to learn to cherish the present and love ourselves, and learn to plan a grand cause for the future, even if we are born ordinary, but the ambition is still the same, the style is still the same, such as the sweat of the fathers. Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, we are no longer children, and being strong and knowledgeable is an instinctive reaction.
