    My hometown is in Liaoning, and now there are very few young people kneeling and kowtowing during the Chinese New Year, but some older people still retain this custom. Although many customs have disappeared, there are still some New Year customs in the rural areas of my hometown, such as pasting couplets on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but if an elderly person dies within three years of the family, couplets cannot be pasted. At noon, you have to eat chicken and fish, which is very hearty, and eating fish means that there are more than one year in a row, and the number of dishes cannot be single.

    To eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, dumplings, dumplings also have a lot of exquisiteness, many business people will eat leek stuffed dumplings, meaning long-term wealth.

    In our hometown, there is a "small year", how to say, it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month. In the past, it was necessary to incense the king of the stove, but now there is almost no such custom, just cleaning and waiting for the Spring Festival to come. I still have to eat dumplings on this day.

    Kowtowing to the elderly was there when I was a child, but I still kowtow every year, not exclusive, this is a pretty good habit, after all, filial piety comes first. Since my family is in Xi'an, there are no special customs, probably just the whole family goes to see Shehuo to eat and drink.

    Is it a custom or a habit to go home during the Spring Festival? Will you definitely go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year? In my opinion, going home during the Spring Festival is a habit, after all, we have been celebrating the Spring Festival with our families since we were young, if we don't go home during the Spring Festival, then what parents say, the family is not at home during the Spring Festival, so what's the point?

    The Spring Festival is a very important day for people in our country, and it can also be said to be the most reunited day for the family, without any work troubles, every day to accompany their families, and their relatives and friends to get together during the Spring Festival, and be lively together.

    Every year during the Spring Festival, I will definitely go back to my hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival with my parents. If you are alone outside for the Spring Festival and do not go home, walking on the street and seeing the lights of thousands of homes will miss your family very much, so going home for the Spring Festival is a habit, I will definitely go home to accompany my parents during the Spring Festival, and spend a lively Spring Festival with them. Perhaps many people have heard of a sentence, working outside the rich and no money to go home for the New Year, this is not only a custom, but also a habit, we are used to accompanying our parents to celebrate the Spring Festival, accustomed to the Spring Festival with our relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, and also accustomed to the New Year's Eve of our hometown.

    It's the Spring Festival, and at the end of the year, we only have time to spend with our parents at the end of each year.

    If we can't be with our parents during the Spring Festival, then this Spring Festival, whether it is our parents or ourselves, will have no meaning, right? And if we don't go home for the Spring Festival, and we have our parents at home for the Spring Festival, then it will seem that the home is very deserted, not lively at all, and our parents will feel very lonely. So when it was about to be the end of the year, we basically booked tickets in advance to go home to spend the Spring Festival with our parents, which was not only a custom, but also a habit.

    The happiest day of the year is the New Year, which means family reunion and auspicious New Year. We will make the best preparations in advance for the arrival of the New Year. Adults are busy when they are paired with free limbs, and children will also help by the side.

    Every year, we prepare New Year's goods and cook a lot of dishes. The family will also buy a lot of fruits, melon seeds and candies, and the children will eat to their heart's content. Another important thing is to post New Year's pictures!

    In the past, when I was a child, my father always pasted the door painting during the Chinese New Year, but as children, we are now handing the door painting to my father, and my father will easily paste it from the small door to the door. It is a great sense of accomplishment to see the pasted door paintings, although we did not post the New Year's pictures personally, but we are still very excited, because everywhere is full of the festive taste of the New Year. Dad is an expert in pasting New Year's pictures in our house, we are all envious, and I hope to be able to paste New Year's pictures by myself, but we are too young, Dad said that when you grow up, let you do it yourself, and then I will retire and not stick!

    As we grew taller and taller, my brother and I started to learn how to stick New Year's pictures, but we had to step on a very high stool to barely touch it. My brother and I were very excited about the first New Year's painting, and it was finally completed with the joint efforts of my brother and me, and we were very proud to see our work. From this year on, Dad really stopped posting New Year's pictures, and handed over this task to us, and he was only responsible for commanding.

    My mother, as the hostess of the house, really didn't post New Year's pictures, every time we posted New Year's pictures, my mother was busy preparing dishes for the New Year, and my mother at most occasionally took a look at how we pasted.

    1. First of all, we must start with Laba Festival, which is to eat Laba porridge. There is also a saying about Laba that is "children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year". As soon as the Laba Festival passes, it indicates that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so everyone starts to get busy, clean up and clean up the house.

    5. The fifth pack of dumplings in the first month, in our words here, is "filling the poor pit", which is also very easy to understand, that is, to fill the poor pit. It is to eat dumplings by making dumplings and praying for yourself to be no longer poor in the coming year. Moreover, this day is the birthday of the God of Wealth, and eating dumplings with firecrackers is also a symbol of welcome and respect for the gods.

    I still remember when I was a child, whenever the Chinese New Year, every household was busy pasting Spring Festival couplets, welcoming the God of Wealth, setting off firecrackers, children had new clothes to wear, and the most interesting thing was to feed the fruit trees, first use a knife to cut a hole in the fruit tree, and then put the rice in it. In the morning and evening, incense is burned in the pigsty and in the stove room.

    1.Drying bacon I remember when we were children, almost every household had to dry bacon in advance, buy dozens of catties of meat at one time, cut it into one by one, hang it on a bamboo pole with a rope, put it in the sun and expose it to the sun, it should be dried for many days, and the meat was hard and strong, and then put it in a porcelain jar, and so on during the Spring Festival to eat, take it out and cut it into pieces and stir-fry it with chili peppers, or make it into fried bacon in Artemisia, which is very fragrant.

    2.Before making tofu, almost every household had to make tofu. Soak the beans the night before, pick and grind them the next day, filter and separate the solid and liquid with gauze, pour the liquid into the pot and boil, put a bowl and put some sugar to drink sweet soy milk.

    Solid fried is bean dregs, which can be eaten as a vegetable or fed to pigs. The soy milk is poured into a special box for making tofu, covered with a cloth, and then covered with a lid, and has to be pressed with a heavy object. After waiting for a while, it was made into tofu, and I always thought it was amazing.

    3.There are many processes to make sugar cubes, and it is more complicated. Wash the wheat and boil it in a pot with water.

    After cooking, remove the wheat and continue to boil the remaining water until thick. I remember my grandmother would bring out a bowl of malt water before it was thick, beat an egg while it was hot, stir it well, and give it to me. After the maltose is boiled, pour it into a large wooden basin, add sesame seeds, peanuts, etc. and stir well, then cover the lid, press the weight, remove the lid after a period of time, spread a layer of plastic film, and then we will step on it, and when the sugar under our feet is firm, then take it out and cut it into pieces of sugar with a knife.

    I remember one time, my dad even cut his hand. Sugar cubes are generally made from morning to evening, so slicing is usually done at night, in a dim light.

    4.Deep-fried tofu Deep-fried tofu is to cut fresh tofu into small pieces and then put it in a hot oil pan to fry and fry it into fried tofu. This fried fried tofu can be particular, you have to pick the day, and you have to hide behind closed doors in the lead kitchen to fry, fried fried tofu is very taboo when someone suddenly enters the kitchen, it is said that then it will be very fuel-consuming, we call it fold (and fold a pronunciation) oil.

    Before making fried tofu, I will remember how much oil there is, and then after I am ready, I will look at how much oil is left, and then calculate how much oil is consumed, and compare it with the fuel consumption of previous years to see if it is more or less. When making fried tofu, we will also fry a little glutinous rice cake by the way, which we call "oil silk li". I always said to my grandmother in confusion about fried tofu and oil

    Isn't it all in the fried tofu if there is more oil and less oil? Didn't we all eat it all in the end? And there was no waste.

    5.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, children will run around the village in groups and go from house to house to pay New Year's greetings. Say some auspicious New Year's greetings, and then you will get a lot of food and cigarettes.

    At that time, my grandfather was very fond of drinking and smoking, so we were more willing to accept cigarettes, and then keep all the cigarettes we received and take them to my grandfather when I went to my grandmother's house to visit the New Year in the second year of junior high school.
