Lively Lantern Festival.
There has always been a star twinkling in the back of my memory, and it will never lose its brilliance.
That's the scene of the Lantern Festival in Taiyuan:
This year's Lantern Festival is different from the previous Lantern Festival, because with the development of the economy, people are gradually getting rich, the streets are full of lights, the lights are brilliant everywhere, the streets and alleys are full of traffic, only to see the crowds of people on the road, and the whole road has become"Sidewalks", you can't see the end of ** at a glance, and the whole street is lively. The shops are jammed, looking at the bustle, I can't help but think of Tang Yin's "Lantern Festival": There is no moon without lights, and there is no spring without lights.
When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver. The street is full of pearls and green village girls, and the god of the Shengge Race Society is boiling. If you don't show Fangzun to laugh, how to spend this good day.
I got carried away and chanted, but I didn't notice that my sister was standing behind me silently, "Yo! My cousin is so elegant, what's the point of looking at it like this, why don't we go shopping? "Yes, yes!
I hurriedly clapped my hands and applauded.
When we came to the street, we also blended into this lively atmosphere, my sister pulled me around, all the way down, we found a lot of lanterns, each with its own unique characteristics, made me salivate, there are stitches and threads, there are all colors, there are ...... made of glassIn the square, there is a beautifully made, huge marquee, this marquee amuses many passers-by to stop. Firecrackers in the night sky in the distance, when the fireworks bloom in the night sky, exuding the five eye-catching characters of "Happy Lantern Festival", this already lively Lantern Festival has added a bit of charm, and the beautiful lotus lanterns help people pass on happiness and health.
Everything about the Lantern Festival is so eye-catching, but I enjoy the process of making lanterns.
It is not so easy to make lanterns, the selection of good bamboo is the key, the quality of bamboo directly determines the success or failure of the lantern, but I will only talk about it, this glorious task will be handed over to the sister with rich combat experience, the bamboo is good, the frame is ready, I can't be idle This embroidery will be handed over to me, you don't underestimate me, I am Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is easy to say, it is difficult to practice, it is not the wrong stab or the thorn is reversed, anyway, it is full of loopholes, after some twists and turns, I can be regarded as completing the task. "Well, yes, you can buy it for a good price. Huh".
On this day, no matter how much unpleasantness there was, it was swept away.

Manchu folk customs.
56 nationalities, 56 flowers". Each ethnic group has different customs and habits, different characteristic dwellings, and special food, which responds to the saying "a hundred miles of different winds, a thousand miles of different customs". And the Manchu is one of the 56 flowers, and the Manchu costumes are particularly distinctive, so I will briefly introduce them below.
Manchu women do not bind their feet, all shoes are embroidered with beautiful floral ornaments, and the soles ** are padded with wooden heels 10 cm high. Manchu women can walk in such shoes, maintaining a posture with their heads held high and their waists swaying.
The cheongsam is the traditional dress of Manchu women. They like to wear cheongsams that are long to the feet or covered with shoulders. The cheongsam is characterized by a stand-up collar
Right placketTight waistSlit at hem.
The ancient cheongsam has a pipa placketRuyi placketDiagonal placket
piping or rimming, etc. After the twenties of the twentieth century, it was improved, with a loose waist, wide cuffs, and a moderate length for easy walking. It has become a popular clothing for Chinese women.
In the early thirties, under the influence of Western short skirts, the length was shortened, almost knee-length, the cuffs were narrowed, and in the mid-thirties, they were lengthened, and the sides were slit. The forties were shortened, and short-sleeved or sleeveless cheongsams appeared, which were streamlined on the outside. Subsequently, the front and back pieces of the clothes were separated, and there were shoulder seams and sleeved cheongsam skirts.
The cheongsam has an oriental color, which can fully show the grace and elegance of the state, and is considered to be a typical national costume that expresses female beauty. Worldwide acclaim.
Women's cheongsams are more decorative than men's cheongsam. CollarThe placket and cuffs are embroidered with trims. Inlaid with a few patterns or colored teeth, commonly known as "painting road" or "dog teeth".
The costumes of the Manchu women are very beautiful, and the costumes of the Manchu men are also very good.
Historically, Manchu men mostly wore horseshoe-sleeved robes with belts around their waists, or wore robes with a placket on the outside.
Horse gown is a type of gown that Manchu men often wear when riding horses. The horse coat is divided into a large placketPlacketPipa placket and other forms. The horse gown later became an everyday garment worn over the robe. The high collar placket, open on all sides, waist-length and slightly shorter sleeves can be exposed.
Three or four inches, roll the sleeves of the robe on the top of the sleeves of the gown, that is, the so-called large and small sleeves. The small padded jackets worn by many Manchus today evolved from horse coats. For the convenience of horseback riding, a short gown that reaches the navel and is open on all sides is put on the outside of the robe to protect against the wind and cold.
Manchu men wore cool hats in summer and sloppy leather hats in winter. Their clothes like to use greenBlue
Brown and other colors of cottonSilk .Silk
Satin and other fabrics are made, the trouser legs are tied with blue leg belts, cotton boots or leather boots are worn on the feet, and leather ula is worn in winter. Leave braids on top and shave the hair around it.
The Manchu nationality is one of the 56 ethnic minorities in our country, and it is a gorgeous and wonderful flower. It has different customs and characteristics from other ethnic groups, and we need to slowly understand and understand it.

This is the landscape of Fuzhou in ancient times.

The women of the water boating family (people), wearing saffron on their heads, blue shirts and green pants, cloth soles and green shoes, landed ashore together, went door to door, and sang poems in Fuzhou dialect to celebrate the New Year
My aunt and sister-in-law both congratulated the New Year, and the red umbrella lights hung in front of the hall; Good kueh sent slaves to the front of the door of the gold plate enterprise (meaning standing). "After the old year and the new year, business is prosperous and makes a lot of money; Wishing you prosperity and peace, and sending slaves to the door.

During the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys of Fuzhou are full of lights, fire trees and silver flowers, laughter and laughter, and a festive atmosphere is presented everywhere.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, party and government leaders at all levels paid New Year's greetings to the families of military martyrs, retired cadres and old model workers with gifts before or during the festival. All relevant departments organize activities such as Spring Festival garden tours, gatherings from all walks of life, and theatrical evenings. The old superstitious customs gradually disappeared.
In the early nineties, most homes were installed**, and relatives and friends generally used ** to greet each other for the New Year to reduce holiday traffic congestion.
