Folk activities in the Spring Festival
stroll around the temple fair
When it comes to visiting temple fairs, I will think of temple fairs in Beijing during the Spring Festival, such as Changdian Temple Fair, Baiyunguan Temple Fair and Lianhuachi Temple Fair. Temple Fair is also called "Temple Fair", "Shi Miao" or "Festival". The early temple fair was just a grand ritual activity. With the development of economy and the need of people's communication, temple fairs are gradually integrated into market trading activities while maintaining sacrificial activities. With the demand of people, colorful activities are added to the temple fair.
Therefore, visiting temple fairs in the New Year has become an indispensable entertainment activity for people. In some areas, the religious color of the annual temple fair is getting weaker and weaker, and only the entertainment imitation of sacrificial activities is more about "whether there is a temple fair". Parks, stadiums, shopping malls, etc. It has become the venue of temple fairs, and temple fairs have gradually evolved into folk activities integrating entertainment and short-term market transactions.
walk on stilts
Walking on stilts has a long history. Performers use their feet to tie wooden 1 ~ 3-foot-high seesaw sticks to act as various strange movements of funny people. Walking on stilts, Beijing is called stilt or stilt club, and Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan and other Yellow River basins are called "sticking high feet". Walking on stilts can be divided into two activities: literary stilts and martial stilts. Wenqiao mainly sings while walking, mixed with simple dance and waist twisting movements, while Wuqiao performs such difficult movements as handstand, high platform jumping, stacked arhats and splits.
Setting off firecrackers
"In addition to firecrackers at the age of one, the spring breeze warmed Tu Su. Thousands of families always change new peaches for old ones every day. " This poem by Wang Anshi, a politician in the Song Dynasty, also mentioned setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival, which shows that the custom of setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival has a long history. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers, and to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with the sound of firecrackers. Firecrackers are also called firecrackers, firecrackers and cannons.
Spring Festival health strategy
1. diet articles
1, light diet and less greasy.
On New Year's Eve, we have to eat big fish and meat. Even if you want to eat, you should choose something light. After all, "gaining three pounds every spring" is not just talk.
Eating more vegetables is better than taking medicine.
The festive table is rich in dishes, which often makes people feel tired and flatulent.
At this time, eat less meat and eat more vegetables, because fresh vegetables are not only rich in cellulose, but also maintain normal gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation and maintain the needs of human metabolism.
3. Eat more fruits to keep healthy.
(1) A messy holiday diet is more likely to make people get angry and constipated, and eat more fruits;
② It can not only clear away heat and detoxify, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, but also regulate and improve the metabolic function of the human body, prevent various diseases and improve health.
4, the Spring Festival diet should be moderate
(1) Entertainment is often rich, and rich dishes often make people have a strong appetite and "can't eat", causing gastrointestinal discomfort and even digestive system diseases.
② From indigestion "diarrhea" to hiccups and bloating "acid regurgitation" to acute pancreatitis, it is life-threatening. The best prevention method is self-control.
5, moderate drinking is not greedy.

② Excessive alcohol will damage the liver, brain, nervous system and digestive system;
At the same time, the social harm of drinking is also very prominent: drunk driving causes traffic accidents, public security accidents and so on.
6. Be careful of the salty melon seeds.
1 melon seeds are one of the snacks for the New Year. Fried soy sauce melon seeds and sunflower seeds are salty and high in calories.
Here, I suggest you use fried pumpkin seeds instead. Fried pumpkin seeds are good for your health and can lower your blood pressure, but you should also eat them in moderation.

Sleep is only the most important thing: don't overdo it.
With the coming of the long holiday, many white-collar workers in the workplace plan to "catch up on sleep" during this holiday.
Experts remind that sleep is not the better. For people who don't get enough sleep, cramming may not work. Sometimes, sleeping with your head covered will make people more tired.
