Me and Tradition Today essay, an essay related to tradition

Every year during the Chinese New Year, one of the things our family looks forward to the most is to eat dumplings, because the dumplings made by my mother are very delicious. But the experience of eating dumplings last year is still fresh in my memory!

Last year, the dumplings made by my mother had two flavors: one was filled with celery and the other was filled with meat. After my mother finished wrapping it, she put the dumplings into the pot one by one, and after about fifteen minutes of cooking, the dumplings were cooked, and my mother brought the pot to the table, the taste was fragrant, and my father and I couldn't help but leave saliva.

We started eating as a family, I first sandwiched a celery flavored one, which was very delicious, and then my mother sandwiched a meat stuffed one for me, and I said, "Mom, I don't like this taste!" My mother insisted on letting me eat it, and said with a smile

Child, this meat-filled dumpling is sweet and hungry, don't believe you taste it! "I took a bite, and a hard thing touched my teeth, and I spit it out and looked at it carefully, and it was a piece of fruit candy, so I put it back in my mouth, and it was sweet and sour, and it was delicious! At this time, my mother said with a smile

If you eat dumplings with sugar, you will be happy and sweet this year! Then our whole family cheered and they blessed me together. Only then did I know my mother's good intentions just now, and tears flashed in my eyes!

I like to eat dumplings, and I prefer to eat sweet dumplings made by my mother, because when I eat dumplings, I can feel my mother's strong love!

Chinese culture is broad and profound. There are Tang poems of the Tang Dynasty that we have learned in textbooks, as well as Song Ci of the Song Dynasty and Yuan Song of the Yuan Dynasty that we have not learned; We often mention the qin (guzheng), chess (go), calligraphy (calligraphy), painting (Chinese painting); There are also folk festivals (such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, Spring Festival) and so on are our traditional culture. But I still like Chinese idioms the most.

Just like Uncle Chen Handong I met, he used idioms to enclose the 2008 idioms into five rings, symbolizing the five rings of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The first ring is: the first in the world.

First, the same lineage, the past and the future, the successor of the --- unfinished, loyal to the country, the country and the people, blessed longevity. The second ring is: the world is public, fair and honest, clear-minded, fierce as fire--- intended to be written first, preconceived views, seeing things and thinking about people, and people are better than the sky.

The fourth ring is: the world is the same, one heart and one mind, the meaning is broad and the wealth is sparse, the wealth ---is sparse, the wealth is sparse, the righteousness is passed down from generation to generation, the work is handed down, the power is blessed, and the earth is blessed.

The fifth ring is: eternal, prestigious, worthy of the name, seeking truth from facts--- coming and going freely, from shallow to deep, deep understanding of righteousness, righteousness and thin clouds.

Uncle Chen Handong's Chinese idiom dragon starts from the sky and ends with the sky forming five large rings. Not only is it meaningful, but it's also easy to remember and fun. I think this is the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
