The taste of the Chinese has always been full of strong cultural color, like a jar of old wine, the more time passes, the more mellow, sweet and unforgettable. Whether it is pasting couplets, eating dumplings, and keeping the New Year during the Spring Festival, or eating glutinous rice balls, appreciating lanterns, dragon dances, and lion dances during the Lantern Festival, they all have their far-reaching cultural connotations. These traditional customs bear the imprint of the agricultural civilization of the ancestors for thousands of years, warm people's hearts and nourish the spirit of the nation. This kind of nourishment will bloom in the prosperous 2024 Spring Festival Shandong Rural Cultural Tourism Festival, which not only makes the tradition glow with new brilliance, but also makes the New Year customs more colorful and fascinating.
The "folk flavor" of a hundred operas
Led by a hundred festivals". In the thousands of years of the Spring Festival, the customs of the New Year have always been changing. The famous writer Wang Zengqi said that the Chinese New Year is "a time for families to sit idly and the lights are amiable." In Liang Shiqiu's pen, "the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law wiped the grease and powder, and the old mothers in Sanhe County all planted a trembling red velvet flower on their heads." In Mr. Lao She's prose, every Spring Festival, Beijing's "children prepare for the New Year, and almost the first thing they do is to buy mixed dishes." This is made by mixing various dried fruits (peanuts, dates, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc.) with candied fruits, and even if you don't have dumplings to eat, you have to buy mixed salps. ”
It seems that food is still the most important memory on the tip of the tongue during the Spring Festival. "Rice cake steamed bun New Year's flavor", although in terms of material life, almost every day seems to be in the New Year, but whenever the New Year is approaching, people are still more eager to find the almost primitive sense of satisfaction and happiness in life from the customs of the fading years.
Red leaf persimmon rock millennium intangible cultural heritage iron flower.
On the second day of the first month of the Year of the Dragon, the reporter interviewed on the urban and rural streets of Boshan, and felt a strong traditional atmosphere of the New Year. In the red leaf persimmon rock "fireworks village", the millennium intangible cultural heritage iron flower project attracts the majority of tourists, people can see the extreme romance of the hot metal splashing into the sky at a high temperature of 1600 degrees at the scene, and the overlapping grand scene is spectacular and bright. The 50-meter-high dragon lantern is entrenched to send blessings, and there are 3-meter red lanterns and red lantern corridors, which are full of New Year's flavor, allowing people to enjoy a colorful and good life in the traditional Chinese New Year.
The "Dragon Dance" parade is a traditional program of Boshan playing during the Lantern Festival, with gongs and drums in the New Year and ancient color tricks, which are eye-opening; The ancient style Arowana dance, dance skewers, and continuous joy; The lively and festive New Year's goods market, the nostalgic stalls lined up, the glazed performances, and the special experience are dizzying. The 4th Folk Float Parade and Lantern Exhibition of Chinese Medicine with traditional Chinese classic stories, cultural landscapes of Mt. Shan and the new connotation of traditional Chinese medicine culture as the main design elements push the joyful atmosphere to the extreme.
Impressively, there is also the "Tang Chaoxi Market" in Baqiu Old Street, the old street market, food welfare, Lao Cai Village evening, tea making activities around the hearth, as well as a series of colorful folk intangible cultural heritage performances such as the wonderful journey of the 5D track cinema and the lanterns of the Year of the Dragon, which make tourists linger.
There is no doubt that the eternal Spring Festival custom is the longest-lasting, most festive atmosphere and most extensive festival of the year. And the "New Year's Flavor" is the most subtle and intuitive presentation of this grand festival.
Liu Peiguo, a writer who has published 9 collections of regional prose works, is famous for his "New Year's flavor" in his mind? The reporter interviewed him specifically on this topic. Many years ago, the reporter had read Liu Peiguo's "Crispy Pot", "Tempeh", "Eating and Talking", "Even Pulp" and other prose masterpieces, only to know that his books were faintly full of a "New Year's flavor". When it comes to the Chinese New Year, his feelings are naturally unique and have a deep cultural charm.
New Year's flavor is a mixture of five flavors, which is both tangible and intangible; It is both material and spiritual; It is both traditional and realistic; It is not only the appearance of the material life of the people, but also the condensation of the public mood. Liu Peiguo said that whenever he returns to his hometown and smells the smell of sausages on the street, the stimulation of his nasal cavity will instantly activate his childhood memories, and he will suddenly realize that the New Year is coming. "The year is not independent of the individual, we can only feel it when the year is connected to the body. This connection enters our senses and becomes part of the body through the practice of age. ”
Liu Peiguo believes that the custom of the Chinese New Year itself is a great creation of human civilization by the Chinese ancestors. He said that the "New Year's flavor" is the "delicious taste" that people feast on when they get together, the "human touch" that fully "ferments" family, friendship and love, and the "folk flavor" of reunion and celebration. Therefore, the taste of the New Year is the atmosphere of the New Year, the release and display of the collective memory of the descendants of the dragon, and the deep emotion of our Chinese for home and the worship and respect for traditional culture.
The "cultural flavor" of the New Year at the venue
This Spring Festival, not only the scenic spot is crowded, but also museums and bookstores. From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the city's museums welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors, and the Zibo Ceramic Glass Museum was a popular check-in point. According to data, in 8 days, the number of people who walked into the Zibo Ceramic Glass Museum reached 1470,000 people. Celebrating the New Year in the museum has become the "poetry and distance" in the hearts of more and more people. Why do so many people walk into museums during the Chinese New Year holiday? Can the Chinese New Year in museums become a New Year's custom?
The cultural and creative products of Zibo Ceramic Glass Museum are popular.
In the view of the person in charge of the Zibo Museum, the "hot and hot" cultural phenomenon of the New Year in the museum just reflects the change of the people's concept and mode of festival leisure. In the past, when I went to a museum, I saw the collection in the display case, which was static. Nowadays, VR and 3D experiences are common; In the past, when visiting museums, people's identities were spectators and tourists, but now they are cultural experiencers, and the continuous sales of cultural and creative products have become a beautiful scenery of the museum.
A few days ago, the intangible cultural heritage market of the Zibo Cultural Center and the "Liao Zhai in Paper-cutting" art exhibition opened, in which intangible cultural heritage food and traditional crafts complemented each other, allowing tourists to experience the unique taste of Zibo New Year in an "immersive" way. At the same time, Zhao Wenchao, the inheritor of Zibo Flower Bun Intangible Cultural Heritage, was a guest at the "Art Broadcast Live Room" of Zibo Cultural Center, and carried out online live broadcast activities with the theme of "Flower Bun Welcomes the New Year". In the live broadcast room, the inheritors made "Year of the Dragon Flower Buns" for more than 1,000 fans on the spot, integrating the traditional New Year custom of "New Year's Steamed Flower Buns" into modern national tide elements.
A few days ago, Song Guanghui, secretary of the Party branch and professor of the library of Zibo Technician College, was still taking time out of his busy year to write his essay "Sticking Spring Festival Couplets". Of course I think so, because that's part of life. Not only visiting museums, bookstores, and libraries all contain people's expectations and yearning for the new year. ”
When it comes to visiting bookstores, you can't bypass Zhongshuge. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the reporter rushed to the Zhongshuge of Haidai Tower, which is located on the shore of Qisheng Lake in Zibo, and the endless stream of people has surrounded the entire Haidai Tower. With **, stepping up the steps of the antique palace, I finally squeezed into the front hall on the first floor of Zhongshuge, and the Qi Wadang on both sides of the bookshelf was only glanced at from a distance. The accents of the tourists are mixed, and there seem to be people from all over the world, but from the smiles on their faces, you can feel the joy and pride of seeing the "most beautiful bookstore in China".
The reporter randomly interviewed several tourists from Tianjin. They said that last year, Zibo barbecue was popular in the north and south of the river, so they wanted to bring their families to Zibo to play, and after the Spring Festival this year, the family set the destination of the trip to Zibo. In a few days, the Zibo Ceramic Glass Museum and the Pu Songling Memorial Hall have been seen all over, especially the Haidailou Zhongshuge Pavilion, which integrates many elements such as the ancient capital of Qi, ceramic glaze, and natural karst caves, which really shocked them.
Talking about the impression of this trip, Tianjin tourists said: "Visiting museums and bookstores in Zibo is the most unforgettable memory of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Dragon. ”
The "smell of fireworks" of the lantern "village evening".
Whenever night falls, in the Yudai Lake Scenic Area located in the east of Zhangdian, thousands of lanterns are lit up one after another, and people walk through it, as if they have stepped into a three-dimensional time and space tunnel, and it is like opening a colorful and mysterious oriental journey. This is a magnificent and poetic scene at the Zibo Lantern Art Festival in the Year of the Dragon.
The dragon lanterns in the Yudai Lake Scenic Area in Zibo illuminate the night.
On February 17, the reporter interviewed Hao Bo, chairman of Zibo Yudai Lake Ecological Country Manor. In his eyes, "Zibo Lantern" is the world's flavor and the most beautiful fireworks in the city, and it is the most down-to-earth ancient custom. As a national intangible cultural heritage project, "Zibo Lantern" has set a Guinness World Record and has been successfully held for 41 sessions. The lantern design of the Year of the Dragon starts from the three aspects of heaven, earth and people, corresponding to the prosperity of the Qi country, the strange tale of Liaozhai, and the list of gods. The flowers of the wind, the charming fox fairy, the providence of the mythical epic, are given a new life connotation in the form of illusionary lights, people stroll through the garden, immersively and the strange and soft light group into one, like a crossing, enjoy its beauty, enjoy it.
Hao Bo told reporters that the three parts of Qi Guoshengshi, Liaozhai Zhiwei, and Fengshen Bang have different forms of interpretation, drama, dance, acrobatics, horse warfare, etc., all kinds of young and fashionable forms are integrated into it, ** lights reflect each other, and immersive performances are the mainstay, this kind of performance is the first appearance in Shandong, looking at the winter products of the national scenic spots, it is also rare.

After watching the lanterns of Yudai Lake, and then going to Tianjin Bay West Village, Yuanquan Town, Boshan District, to watch a "village evening", maybe this year will be more interesting and exciting. At 6 o'clock in the evening of February 18th, with the shouts of Jiao Bo and the village flowers, a special movie "Village Evening" kicked off.
Jiao Bo and his fellow villagers established the Tianjin Bay Village Flower Film Club. (Wang Bing photography).
Jiao Bo, a famous photographer, has touched countless people at home and abroad with his large-scale documentary photography work "My Father and My Mother". Over the years, Jiao Bo has always had a wish to use his photography skills to better serve his parents and villagers and serve rural revitalization. "A month ago, we established the Village Flower Film Club, and at that time, I asked everyone to introduce themselves, but I didn't expect everyone to be very relaxed in front of the camera, one shot to the end, and no editing was done. Jiao Bo hopes that the wealthy parents and villagers will pick up their mobile phones to record their lives and let the power of images help rural revitalization.
The countryside is the father and mother of each of us, and the customs of the year are the roots of the Chinese nation. There is a time when the images of my father and mother are finished, but my father's 'father and mother', the Chinese countryside, can never be finished. Starting from the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, this famous photographer in his seventies has started a new career, that is, to use images to help the rural revitalization and development of his hometown. "I have brought back all the resources I have accumulated over 30 years in Beijing, and I want to make my village a film village. ”
Thousands of households have a good night, and the lanterns are colorful. After the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival has become the most anticipated folk cultural activity for the masses. February 23-25 (New Year's Day.
