The taste of the New Year.
The Spring Festival, also commonly known as "New Year", is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese, and has always been given the meaning of "reunion" and "festivity". "Chinese New Year" is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, although the society is changing, the taste of the year is changing, the concept is changing, and the world is changing, but the core of the year, the root of the year will not change, that is, the inextricable family affection and strong hometown complex. In this world, as long as there are four seasons of reincarnation and family affection, there will be a taste of the year.
I have loved the taste of the New Year since I was a child, the strong smell of the New Year when I was a child, fragrant, from the heart to the air, and from the air to the heart, like a dream, boundless. The boy's happiest is to set off firecrackers, a limited number of firecrackers are reluctant to let go at one time, one by one, put in the pocket, take out one after a while, and light it with a match or incense, a crisp sound, a sigh in my heart, really enjoyable, both exciting and reluctant to set off. There is a saying in our hometown, "drink Laba boiled (porridge), break your fingers to count the years", to the eighth day of the lunar month, the New Year's flavor officially opened, every household is busy sweeping the house, preparing New Year's goods, pasting New Year's paintings, pasting Spring Festival couplets, pasting blessing words, pasting paper-cutting, steaming rice cakes, wrapping dumplings, hanging lanterns, sacrificing to the god of the stove, receiving the God of Wealth, setting off firecrackers, eating New Year's dinner, etc., have begun one after another, praying for good luck in the new year. When I was a child, I entered the Layue Gate, our hometown village organized stilt team rehearsals, early in the morning of the first month of the first month, you can put on the street, formal performance, the activity lasted until the fifteenth day of the first month, stilts walk the village to step on the street, gongs and drums, suona sound, stilts on the ground, flower face frolic, all the way to blow and blow, all the way to the flowers, stilts on the street like a New Year's celebration messenger, wherever you go, will bring a strong New Year's flavor. The bustling atmosphere of the year, the fun of the year, is tense and intoxicating.
Now that I have passed the age of knowing my destiny, I have long lost the naughty childishness of my childhood, but I am still childlike, and I always want to relive the exciting and lively scene of firecrackers when I was a child, and its charm is really as strong as old wine. In the hometown, the relatives attach great importance to the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and devote all their efforts to make the Chinese New Year's Eve rice colorful and meat and vegetarian matching, usually ten plates and eight bowls plus a variety of fine wines. The best dishes that can be seen during the year are put on the table, which signifies abundance and hopes for the coming year. The variety of food also often has auspicious meanings, such as fish must be in the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, which represents that there is more than enough every year; There must be tofu, which means that everyone is blessed; There are red peppers and carrots to match, and I hope that the days will be prosperous; Dingpig's trotters (also known as pig's feet) meat jelly, meaning to get rich; Steamed rice cakes symbolize everyone's rise every year. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the aroma of fish, meat, and tofu lingers on the beams of every house. At this time, the smell of the New Year has begun to be so strong that it can't be dissolved. The taste of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the taste of home, family members respect and love each other, respect the elderly, full of warm taste, but also a feeling of happiness and harmony.
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, just a trace of concern about "going home for the New Year" is enough for us to overcome difficulties and embark on the return journey regardless of everything. It can be seen that the weight of "year" in the hearts of Chinese, and the picture of celebrating the Spring Festival with the family is a "reunion". Reunion for the New Year, the picture is auspicious, what you want is harmony, and what you hope is the safety, health and happiness of your family. The year is lively, the year is busy, and the year is festive. The taste of the year is joy, peace, warmth, and our nostalgia for our hometown.
The taste of the New Year is the taste of the hometown. My hometown is in a small village in the south of Gaomi City, my parents live in my hometown, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, all the people of our two brothers and families return to their hometown for the New Year, so they have deep feelings and deep attachment to their hometown, and I have written a poem that can best express my emotions. "Returning to Hometown for the New Year": Hometown is a warm harbor Hometown is the shore of nostalgia Hometown is full of moon Hometown is the final station of returning to the heart A grass and a tree in the hometown A water and a mountain There are also the smiling faces of the villagers are the strongest nostalgia and attachment Ice flowers are full of passion The cooking smoke is accompanied by the slanting sun The New Year's dinner is wafting with a strong fragrance The white-haired father and mother at the lamplight are watching the safe return of the children The red lanterns are hanging high The red Spring Festival couplets are joyful Firecrackers have sounded The fireworks are blooming brilliantly The New Year's bell is about to ring The flaming candlelight is flashing auspiciousness and health Let go of a year's hard work, abandon all worries, enjoy this moment, be warm and lively with your loved ones, taste authentic Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings, and hot rice cakes and delicacies, this is the taste of returning home for the New Year.
