When I was a child, before the Spring Festival, it was a day of some expectations and fears. Almost every day, I will look through the annual calendar, count with my fingers to calculate how many days there are still Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will also count with my fingers how much money I may get, and how many toys can I exchange for those New Year's money, which is a happy expectation. The long-awaited happiness will continue until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no need to continue to be scolded for not doing winter vacation homework, you can set off a lot of fireworks before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there will be many delicious meals on the table of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and there are many happy programs on the radio and TV, just don't go to the first day of the new year, because the first morning of the new year will start the terrifying kowtow to the New Year, which is the most headache experience during the Spring Festival.
According to our customs, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will definitely go to the elders' homes to kowtow to the New Year. The children of each family wear new clothes and go to the homes of the village elders to pay New Year's greetings. Entered the room where the elders rested, knelt down in front of the elders, kowtowed, and then finished the New Year's greetings that he had memorized for a long time, and if he didn't say well, he would be ridiculed by the other children, which was the most intolerable thing when he was a child.
We have to wait for the elders to send us New Year's money, and we can only get up after listening to the elders send us blessings. This process must be repeated as many times as there are close relatives. It lasts for a whole day, and only after all the elders have finished worshipping can they play with other friends who have also completed the task.
When I was a child, I was afraid of this process, but there was no way to escape it, because I was the eldest son of our family, and there was no way to be lazy. I love hearing compliments from my elders after kowtowing, and I care as much as other children about the New Year's money they have in their hands. But the taste of kneeling on the ground is really uncomfortable, especially in the home of the elders of high seniority, kneeling for half an hour to listen to five or six elders say those blessing words a lot, in the New Year's kowtow unfortunately meet another group of juniors The situation also happens, the children of the two families meet in an elder's house, listen to the elders send New Year's money one by one, while saying blessings.
This time makes every child's knee tingle and painful, and these scenes are now difficult for children to see, because those customs have gradually faded away. When I was a child, I was a little timid but anxious, so I was destined to be afraid of New Year's greetings. In fact, during the New Year's greetings, the solemn expressions of the elders will be replaced by kind smiles and cordial actions, which are not as majestic and terrifying as they are on weekdays.
But I was still afraid, afraid that I would kneel on the ground for too long, that I would not be able to answer the questions of my elders as fluently as other children, and that my friends would say that I was nervous and stammered during the New Year's greetings. On a few occasions, I even ran away after kowtowing because I was so nervous that I didn't even bother to get the New Year's money. There are also scenes where I was scolded by my elders because I only thought about my little friends waiting for me outside, and forgot to kowtow to greet the New Year.
I had a great time during the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the friends in the yard ran out, all with the joy of the festival, and I also came out to play under the condition of "concession". >>>More
