That is, when the new year comes, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Firecracker is a specialty of China, also known as "Firecracker", "Firecracker" and "Firecracker".
Now, most of us think that setting off firecrackers can create a festive atmosphere, is a kind of entertainment in festivals, and can bring happiness and good luck to people. With the passage of time, firecrackers are more and more widely used, and there are more and more varieties and colors.
Liuyang in Hunan, Foshan and Dongyao in Guangdong, Yichun and Pingxiang in Jiangxi and Wenzhou in Zhejiang are the famous "hometown of fireworks" in China. The firecrackers they produced not only sell well all over the country, but also are exported to other countries and regions in the world. People not only set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year in the Spring Festival, but also set off firecrackers to celebrate major festivals and happy events, such as Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, marriage, building houses and opening businesses.
When visiting the New Year during the Spring Festival, the elders should distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money. There are two kinds of lucky money, one is to put colored rope in the shape of Jackie Chan at the foot of the bed, which was recorded in Yanjing year; The other is the most common, that is, parents wrap the money distributed to their children in red paper.
Lucky money can be given in public after the younger generation pays New Year's greetings, or it can be put under the child's pillow by parents when the child is asleep on New Year's Eve. At present, the custom of elders giving lucky money to younger generations is still prevalent, and the money spent on birthdays is also different. Most of these lucky money are used by children to buy books and school supplies, and the new fashion has given new content to the lucky money.
I said: the happiest thing in Chinese New Year is to collect lucky money! According to folklore, children can use lucky money to resist the harm of "Nian beast". Hehe ~ Hehe ~ _ * Dragon dancing and dragon lantern playing in the Spring Festival are also called "dragon dancing" and "dragon lantern dancing", which are unique folk entertainment activities in China.
From the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, China has the custom of playing dragon lanterns in both urban and rural areas. After thousands of years of inheritance and development, playing dragon lantern has become a kind of folk dance with lively form, beautiful performance and romantic color.
Playing with dragon lanterns originated from people's superstition about dragons and has a history of more than two thousand years. In ancient times, people used dragon dancing to pray for the blessing of dragons, in order to have good weather and abundant crops.
The custom of dragon dancing is carried forward by overseas Chinese. Whenever people in China have traditional festivals and major celebrations, they will dance lions and play with dragon lanterns, showing a strong oriental spirit.
I said: It's a pity that few places still have such a good custom of dragon dancing ~ ~ The word "Fu" is pasted backwards. During the Spring Festival, every household should put the word "Fu" on doors, walls and lintels. Sticking the word "Fu" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in China.
In order to fully reflect this yearning and wish, the people simply turn the word "blessing" upside down, indicating that "blessing has fallen" and "blessing has arrived" There is also a legend that the word "fu" is posted upside down among the people.
Ming Taizu used the word "Fu" as a code word to prepare for murder. In order to eliminate this disaster, kind Ma Huanghou asked all the families in the city to put "Fu" on their doors before dawn.
Naturally, no one dares to go against Ma Huanghou's will, so the word "Fu" is posted on every door. If one of the families can't read, turn the word "fu" upside down.
The next day, the emperor sent people to the streets to check and found that every family had posted the word "Fu", and another family had posted the word "Fu" upside down. When the emperor heard the news, he was furious and immediately ordered the body guard to cut down the house.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ma Huanghou quickly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "My family knew that you were visiting today and deliberately put the word' Fu' upside down. Isn't this the meaning of "blessed road"? " When the emperor heard the truth, he ordered his release, and a great disaster was finally eliminated. Since then, people have turned the word "Fu" upside down for good luck and in memory of Ma Huanghou.
I said: no wonder, I said the word "fu" is good, why should I post it backwards? +_+Eating rice cakes During the Spring Festival, many areas in China pay attention to eating rice cakes.
The rice cake, also known as "rice cake", is homophonic with "high year after year", which means that people's work and life are improving year by year. There are many kinds of rice cakes, such as the white rice cakes in the north, the yellow rice cakes of farmers in Saibei, the Shuimo rice cakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the red turtle rice cakes in Taiwan Province Province.
Rice cakes have different flavors from north to south. There are steamed rice cakes and fried rice cakes in the north, both of which are sweet; In addition to steaming and frying, southern rice cakes are also sliced and cooked in soup, which is both sweet and salty.
It is said that the earliest rice cakes were used to worship gods and ancestors on New Year's Eve, and later became food for the Spring Festival. The rice cake is not only a kind of holiday food, but also brings people new hope with the passing of a year.
As a poem in the late Qing Dynasty said, "People's hearts are high, and food is harmonious, so that the year is better than the year to pray for the year." Eating spring cakes every day in beginning of spring is called "biting spring".
People in beginning of spring should eat some fresh vegetables on this day, not only to prevent diseases, but also to welcome the Spring Festival. Tang's Four Seasons Baojing records: "beginning of spring eats reed, spring cake and lettuce, which is called" dish ".
"It can be seen that people in the Tang Dynasty have begun to try spring vegetables and eat spring cakes. The so-called spring cake, also called lotus leaf cake, is actually a kind of hot flour cake-two small pieces of water, oiled in the middle, rolled into pancakes, and peeled into two pieces when cooked.
Spring cakes are used to roll vegetables, including cooked vegetables and stir-fried dishes. In the past, when eating spring cakes, we paid attention to going to a box restaurant called "Pan Su" (also called box lunch).
Box hotel is a sauce meat shop, and the store sends people to deliver food to your door. Put smoked pot belly, pine nut pot belly, oven meat, sauce meat, smoked elbow, sauce elbow, sauce mouth strip, smoked chicken, sauce duck, etc. In the box. When eating, change the knife and cut it into filaments, and add a few home-cooked dishes (usually fried pork with leeks, fried pork with spinach, boiled with mung bean sprouts vinegar, fried noodles with vegetarian ingredients, and spread eggs). ).
2. How to write a composition about traditional cultural festivals? China has a long history with a long history and many traditional cultures. Whether it is jiaozi in the Spring Festival, Zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival or moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they all have special significance and represent the ancient culture of China.
Among them, Zongzi was circulated because of the story of Qu Yuan. During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed of a man who called himself Dr. San Lv (the official name of Qu Yuan) at night and said to him, "Everything you sacrificed was stolen by the dragon in the river. You can wrap it in mugwort leaves and tie it with five-color silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. " So it became the present zongzi.
Apart from the story of Zongzi above, every nation has its own traditional culture, which represents the ancient civilization of our country.
3. How to write the Spring Festival in the composition about traditional festivals?
For the Chinese nation, no festival is more unforgettable than the Spring Festival. It has laid a solid complex in people's hearts with its rich characteristics of sacredness, solemnity, jubilation and auspiciousness. This unparalleled thick complex, in the long history, is like an endless huge red ribbon, which maintains the prosperity of China and connects the happiness and suffering of the people. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, when the footsteps of the years are shaking again, a year has suddenly arrived. I rummaged through the old memories of the Spring Festival in the sacred expectation, and searched for many topics about the end of the year in the warm calculation, which triggered a series of thoughts.
With the increasing pace of China's opening to the outside world, the opening of the country and the cultural exchanges among countries, people gradually attach importance to western festivals, such as Christmas, which have appeared in our ancient and vibrant land. Although the "foreign festival" came to China, it could not impact the traditional festivals in China. During the "New Year", it still has not lost its eternal glory. It is waving HongLing, dancing yangko on its waist drum, and lion dancing is never indifferent. It's always warm to sit around the red stove and decorate lanterns on New Year's Eve. An ancient and long-standing festival, with extremely strong nationality, has been followed for many years, and no force can annihilate its existence. Even the long-standing saying that "the New Year is sad" in the world, neither the joy that children yearn for nor the subtle feelings that adults breed from the New Year can shake people's romantic longing and careful thinking about the New Year. This is the infinite charm of the Spring Festival.
Spring Festival culture is from single to rich, from tradition to trendy. People have changed from setting off firecrackers, posting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns to traveling and visiting famous mountains and rivers. Turn to the theme party celebration. At the same time, people began to transfer the traditional family reunion year to the hotel to keep the year; Even in New Year's greetings, many people have begun to use telephone inquiries, SMS, pager paging, e-mail and other means to replace the traditional collective New Year greetings and door-to-door New Year greetings. In addition, song and dance parties, recitals, concerts and calligraphy and painting exhibitions with the theme of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new are also increasingly respected and favored by people. All these not only add to the atmosphere of traditional festivals, but also reflect the characteristics of the times with its increasingly rich cultural connotation.
But what remains unchanged is that the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the auspicious blessing of all China people. Whether it's a wanderer who wanders overseas or across the ocean, or a child who lives in another country and travels around; Whether it is the grassroots people struggling at the bottom and ignorant, or the high-ranking officials who are lavish and pampered, they all cherish the Spring Festival in their hearts. The phrase "I miss my relatives twice during the festive season" should be able to unite people's feelings! The end of the year is approaching, and people who have traveled long distances are all infected by the festive ribbons of the Spring Festival. No country and nation can be as affectionate and lasting as we are, and no country and nation can be as devout and lasting as we are.
The Spring Festival is a highly concentrated family, and it is the time to give birth to desire. What is entrusted is true feelings, and what is expected is reunion. At this moment, even prisoners in prison will be deeply concerned about their homes beyond the big wall. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, many people have a real desire to rise quietly: some expect luck and abandon sadness and pain; Some are eager to start a good year and turn their ideals and hopes into reality; Some people think of happiness and happiness, and they can have noble people to bless peace and everything goes well. So the hope of reunion after a long separation, the hope of reunion after separation, the hope of poverty, the hope of equality and humility, the hope of happiness and pain, the hope of good sorrow, the hope of farmers' harvest, the hope of workers' employment and the hope of the poor getting rich. I hope to be admitted to a key high school smoothly ... people seem to entrust all their popularity, luck and opportunities to the Spring Festival. Even painting cakes to satisfy hunger and looking at plums to quench thirst makes people full of infinite attachment to the Spring Festival. Therefore, the Spring Festival is full of desire, and the Spring Festival gives birth to desire. Everyone dreams of reaching the other side of happiness by this auspicious ship of desire.
The roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze ushered in the New Year, and people happily drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine. Thousands of families always trade new peaches for old ones. The laughter of the Spring Festival is blown far away by the evening breeze. This laughter is full of * * * and wishes for the Chinese New Year. She echoed in the arms of Mother Earth for a long time! I pray that on the day when the "cow" turns to Kunming to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, a red sunrise will shine on the heads of hundreds of millions of people, so that its fierceness will sweep away the haze in everyone's hearts and burn the innocent yearning and tireless belief that should not be desecrated. ...

5. How to write a composition "We and Traditional Festivals" The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of our Chinese nation.
At this time, every family will get together for a reunion dinner. Migrant workers are busy packing their bags, ready to go home, holding a year's salary, and their hearts are warm; We children who have achieved good results are in high spirits, waiting for their parents' praise ... Streets and alleys, community supermarkets, everywhere is a scene of jubilation and excitement.
Today is New Year's Eve. In the early morning, the golden sun shines all over the earth.
My mother and I went shopping happily, and the street seemed to change overnight. The streets are full of lanterns and colorful decorations, which are very lively. Every household posted "Daofu", couplets and red lanterns. People dressed in festive costumes, with smiles on their faces, went to various markets, some shopping, some watching, and there was a happy and detailed scene.
At 8 pm, the Spring Festival Gala begins. Our family sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The program of the party is wonderful: beautiful and moving songs, humorous sketches and funny cross talk. All kinds of programs dazzle me.
"Dangdang Dangdang ..." As the New Year bell rings, fireworks will ring together. My father and I took out the fireworks we had already prepared and lit the fireworks tube. We only heard a loud noise. A fireworks bomb rose into the air and exploded in an instant. The exploding fireworks look like a beautiful lotus with petals flying in the air. At this time, fireworks are ejected from the fireworks tube, flashing in the sky like countless bright and dazzling meteors ... There are other fireworks in the sky, some of them.
Loud firecrackers, brilliant fireworks, flying in the sky, all kinds of colors, embellishing the sky into a flower, the night sky suddenly became dazzling. At this time, the scene was surrounded by the melody of laughter, firecrackers, shouts and music. It's really lively.
On the first day, it's time to visit the park. After washing in the morning, I have jiaozi for breakfast, and jiaozi is cooked with white wine, eggs and brown sugar, because my hometown has the custom of "no killing" and "no eating meat" on the morning of New Year's Day.
After breakfast, we set off happily. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the park, I was attracted by the rich snacks. It was really dazzling at that time.
Into the park, I took my little cousin boating, riding a small plane, riding a pony and riding a monkey sedan chair. My father took many photos of us. This year's Spring Festival is really meaningful to me. I'm really happy. This reminds me of Wang Anshi's "January Day": firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze enters Tu Su from send warm.
Thousands of families always trade new peaches for old ones. The new year has come again. Everything will change in the new year. I am one year older. I hope that good luck will always accompany me this year, and I will work harder and achieve excellent results this year. When I grow up, I will make great contributions to the construction of my hometown.
2 Spring Festival Notes In 2008, the Spring Festival arrived and the streets were crowded with people. People who have worked hard for a year have gone out of their homes to enjoy the leisure of their holidays. The faces of men, women and children are filled with happy smiles. The colors in the street are much brighter than usual.
I saw colorful flags flying and various commercial slogans and banners flying in the wind. There are red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the shopping mall, which makes people feel warm at first sight.
In the blue sky, colorful balloons are dazzling in the sun. The breeze blew and the balloon danced with the wind, as if nodding to passers-by.
The cheerful and frolicking scenes in the shopping mall penetrate into the eyes of passers-by through bright glass doors and windows, which makes people involuntarily flow into it with colorful people. The Spring Festival is a festival for adults, especially for children. Children's toys, books and stationery counters are very lively. The children came one after another, taking away their beloved toys and leaving behind laughter.
During the Spring Festival, the family is also different from usual. Put the word "Fu" on the door, set off firecrackers at dinner, set off fireworks at night and watch the Spring Festival party. There are more people eating than usual. Mom and dad, uncles and aunts, grandparents all get together.
The food on the dining table is much richer than before, including chicken, duck, fish and delicacies. After dinner, everyone chats, chats, drinks tea and chats.
The Spring Festival is too noisy. I really want to celebrate every day. The Embarrassment of Traditional Culture Zeng Meifen Christmas is the most important traditional festival in the West, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China for westerners. However, with the continuous opening of China society and the constant changes of people's lifestyles, people in China have become more and more simple about traditional festivals such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, but Christmas in the West is getting more and more grand every year.
Especially the younger generation, who don't believe in Christianity and don't know the background of western festivals, spend Christmas with others happily, which is not only a superficial ocean, but also reflects the crisis faced by traditional culture. Nowadays, with the continuous progress of our society and the continuous opening of people's minds, many western lifestyles have been accepted by most people in China, which also means that many traditional things have been forgotten and abandoned by people.
For example, Beijing Opera, the quintessence of our country. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people know how to appreciate Beijing opera, and they are all old audiences, and even fewer people are interested in this art. Peking Opera, once popular all over the world, is gradually moving away from people's sight and going downhill.
On the other hand, the animation culture introduced from Japan has gradually invaded the lives of young people, and the number of comic clubs in various places has been rising, and various COSPLAY competitions have surged, and all of them are young people. Let's take a look at the four-year floating ornaments, which are all seen by children and women. The embarrassing situation faced by traditional culture is self-evident.
The impact of foreign culture on traditional culture lies not only in entertainment and festivals, but also in the most fundamental aspect of our lives-language. English, as a universal language, has been paid more and more attention in China.
Children are forced to learn English by their parents since childhood, and the school also takes English as a key subject.

7. Write a composition about holiday customs (it is best to write about the origin)-There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month, the Double Ninth Festival in September, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of August, and so on. But the traditional festival I am most interested in is New Year's Eve.
Speaking of New Year's Eve, children must not know that there is a very interesting legend hidden in it. A long time ago, there was a very evil animal called Nian. Every New Year's Eve, Nian will come out to do evil and hurt people. In order to find a way to spend the New Year, people don't sleep on New Year's Eve. Everyone around a fire, chatting while eating, and putting some bamboo into the fire from time to time will make a "bang" and scare people.
However, China New Year is a grand traditional festival in China. Every year, red lanterns are hung on the streets. Shopping malls are crowded with people to buy new year's goods; Each of our children wears beautiful new clothes. Seeing these scenes, I thought: If only we could celebrate the New Year every day! The traditional festivals in China are really colorful, which bring us infinite joy and happiness. As a new generation, I should study hard and spread these cultures in China.
8. How to write "We and traditional festivals" Nowadays, with the increasing diversification of culture, traditional culture is gradually eclipsed. Undoubtedly, the reason is that we in China have not properly protected our tradition, so that it has either flowed into other countries or ceased to exist. As Professor Weng said, the destruction of traditional culture during the Cultural Revolution was not as rapid as that caused by today's highly developed economy and culture, especially the destruction of traditional festivals. Indeed, for us young people, the only traditional festivals we remember are New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, grave-sweeping, eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival and enjoying the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival. Why? Because our traditional festivals have lost their traditional characteristics and significance, this is a painful problem in front of Chinese people. No wonder the Shangsi Festival on March 3rd became the Japanese Girls' Day. No wonder the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th has become the world intangible cultural heritage of Koreans because of its complete protection. Imagine that if a country has no tradition, even if its economy is developed and its comprehensive national strength is strong, it has no foundation, and its citizens have lost their spiritual home and soul, then all creation will be impossible. Therefore, it is urgent to revive culture, regain tradition and return to the true colors of traditional festivals, and it is even more necessary for traditional festivals to return to the historical stage today with cultural diversity.
As an intangible cultural heritage, traditional festivals are the embodiment of a country's territory in time, and its importance can be seen. So what we need to do now is to truly spread and carry forward such traditional festivals, so that Chinese people can deeply understand how to protect and inherit this declining festival culture. Professor Weng made some suggestions on the reform of China New Year, especially the Spring Festival Evening. As a visual feast, the Spring Festival Gala has become the highlight of New Year's Eve. But its own irrationality leads to the loss of freshness and flavor, and ordinary people just feel the festive atmosphere as spectators. She mentioned that she could imitate the Japanese "Red and White Songs". I think it is better to combine tradition with modernity than reform. After all, the historical process has pushed us to today's highly developed material culture. We can inherit the old traditions and add new elements to make traditional festivals all-round and diversified. Also, we're going to recapture March 3 to celebrate Daughter's Day. Lantern Festival, increase the feelings between people, etc. Not only to celebrate festivals, but more importantly, to find our roots, find our lost traditions and return to our spiritual home. Only when Chinese people's traditional consciousness is improved and the festive atmosphere returns can traditional festivals be protected.
How to live traditional festivals well under the current historical conditions and find the original meaning of traditional festivals? Now we have a traditional holiday tradition, which is a good opportunity. I think it is necessary to carry out the important task of protecting our traditional festivals through a series of lectures, speeches and exhibitions. Festivals are not simply celebrating festivals, but more importantly, thinking about the past and looking forward to the future at the same time, reviewing, accumulating and increasing the fate between people. At the moment when traditional festivals are dying out, let's work together to protect our traditional festivals and find the source of loss.
