    When I was a child, what I looked forward to the most was the New Year! New clothes, New Year's money is definitely what our children are looking forward to the most, but there are two other things that I like to do very much during the New Year, one is to buy all kinds of fireworks, and the other is to buy stationery! Our New Year begins on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the afternoon of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family will be replaced with new couplets!

    In the evening, everyone would go to grandma's house to make dumplings and eat dumplings. After dinner, at eight o'clock, a firecracker will be set off, and the fathers will start their most relaxing leisure moment of the year, playing mahjong! Grandparents took our children to watch the Spring Festival Gala, at that time the parents were still young, mahjong always opened all night, for many years, our children fell asleep with the Spring Festival Gala, and the next morning when we got up, we found that the fathers were still fighting!

    In the sound of mahjong, we ushered in the first day of the new year, this day, no matter what, we will not lie in bed, quickly get up and freshen up and change into new clothes, and then go to kowtow to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, grandparents have a good New Year, parents have a good New Year, uncles and aunts have a good New Year, just like that, one-on-one worship, and then get their own New Year's money! After getting the New Year's money, my cousin and I would meet to go to the street, first to buy our favorite firecrackers, I remember when I was a child, there was a kind of cannon called throwing cannons, and when I threw it on the ground with force, the cannon would be very loud; There is also a cannon called the Sky Monkey, which will fly into the sky and explode! Every time my cousin and I had a lot of fun, sometimes we would burn a hole in our new clothes because of the fireworks, and then we would be nervous and uneasy, and always try to hide the hole!

    Next, my cousin and I will go to the stationery store, because finally have the money to buy their favorite stationery, usually feel expensive reluctant to buy mechanical pencils, at that time will not hesitate to enter the pocket, when I was a child, I also like to collect all kinds of erasers, at that time with the New Year's money will definitely buy and buy, and then the heart will be particularly satisfied! Looking back now, I was really happy and satisfied when I was a child.

    When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year the most, and this wish can be regarded as the most colorful embellishment in the course of a carefree life. In the past, Laba was the year, and there were sparse firecrackers in the villages near and far, and the small whip was the favorite of our boys, and those who had no money could exchange an egg for a hanging. The girls are quiet and young, and they add brightly colored paper flowers to their braids, and they have to use scarves to cover them for fear of losing them.

    At this time, the adults will tell them again and again, don't talk casually, for fear of angering the immortals and bringing unnecessary punishment in the new year. As Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, killing a home-raised chicken, the adults go to the market to buy a piece of meat, and by the way, invite the door painting couplet to the house, and the goods are basically complete very simply. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family puts on the new clothes pressed at the bottom of the box, the children chase and play in the village, the adults post the door to draw couplets, the dumplings are tired of playing and have been filled into the bowl, open the belly to eat, it is rare to eat delicious dumplings in a year.

    There was no television, no fireworks, just the sound of firecrackers beating on eardrums like raindrops. The first day of the Lunar New Year is the happiest for the children, Tianma Ma Liang knocked on the door to go to the New Year's greetings, the adults put the brand-new two corners that have been prepared, the five corners of the banknotes to us to send the New Year's money, the small pockets after the New Year are also bulging. The next move of relatives is a matter for adults, and the boys in the village exchange the New Year's money for small whips in small shops, and then disassemble them and blow them up individually, tossing until the beginning of the new year, and this Spring Festival can be regarded as a successful end.

    When I was a child, the Spring Festival was not as colorful as the modern Spring Festival, but it was an unforgettable paradise in my memory, even though I knew that it was impossible to go back to the past.

    When I was a child, there was a lot of fun for the New Year, and at that time, the most anticipated thing every year was the New Year, and now, we have grown up and our living conditions are better, and these things that I am most looking forward to when I am a child can be bought at any time. The deepest impression is the New Year, the family will buy us some fireworks, the kind of slender and long, can be held in the hand of the fireworks, Chinese New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock in the evening on time fireworks, fireworks may be when we were children we are most looking forward to an activity project, although now such fireworks can also be bought, the New Year everyone will also set off firecrackers and fireworks, but always feel a little less. Many people around me are complaining, especially people in their thirties and forties, who complain the most, when can the Spring Festival be canceled, but the New Year, it is okay to have a holiday, because they have the old and the young, and they need to spend money to see the old and the young, and the children and old people of the seven aunts and eight aunts usually give thousands of dollars to the New Year's money or something (this is already according to my family's standards, because my family basically spends about 4000 on the New Year's money and the old people every year, Some distant relatives may only go to a New Year's visit once in a few years, and some parents specialize in giving their children a bank card to deposit New Year's money, and some have saved more than 100,000 yuan), in addition to these, one or two months before the New Year, they will start to prepare for the New Year, which is a large amount of consumption, the annual leave time is short, and they have to go around to pay New Year's greetings, and there is very little time to rest at home.

    I am a native of the countryside. When I was a child, I counted the days on my fingers, looking forward to the New Year. I remember that I started counting when I was still 60 days old, and I drew a vertical painting on the wall every day that passed.

    Waiting for the New Year with hope. On Chinese New Year's Eve, families began to post couplets together and clean up. There are a lot of toys to play with at night, and you can show off with a toy gun.

    On the day of the Chinese New Year, of course, you will wear new clothes and greet your parents and elders in the family, and you will receive a lot of property! Haha, groups of three or five went to the square to watch performances, buy toy guns together, and light artillery battles together. Be as happy as you are.

    At noon, a large meal is also eaten. So when I was a child, I was full of anticipation for the New Year.

    When I was a child, I really loved the New Year, and I began to look forward to it during the winter vacation, because only in the countryside in the past could I have good things to eat and good clothes to wear during the New Year. As a girl, there is nothing more beautiful than wearing a new dress for the New Year, and I remember that many people praised me for being beautiful, saying that I was like a little girl in the city, haha. Usually close to the beginning of the New Year, to buy New Year's goods, buy clothes, my father loves us very much, always buy more, because at that time there was no refrigerator, many times the delicious food was wasted.

    I get up in the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to make dumplings, fried vegetables, steamed steamed buns, boil meat, and make all kinds of delicious food, but now I can't eat the taste I had when I was a child, mainly because I don't have that feeling anymore. In the evening, the family gathers together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is usually ten dishes. After eating, the fire began to be baked, firecrackers were set off, and the family circled around the bonfire, roasted and roasted, and there was no illness in the whole body.

    After that, the whole family waits for the New Year's bell to ring and welcome the new year. Now that the Chinese New Year is no longer happy, happy and looking forward to next year.

    My father likes to post Spring Festival couplets outside the door, and my mother is always preparing New Year's goods, making dumplings, and cooking.

    When I was a child, my father's work unit would always organize a Spring Festival garden party, and my favorite game was "the blind man beating the gong", because the sense of direction was very poor, and he always wanted to succeed again. I still remember my mother's anxious voice in the back: It's crooked again.

    When I was a child, what I lacked and wanted on weekdays would always make people look forward to the New Year. When I grow up, I have good food, good clothes, and fun, and when I want it, I have it, and I have less expectations.

    As a child, the year meant fulfillment, it meant reunion. Growing up, the sense of satisfaction has become more and more indifferent with age, and the reunion has become more and more difficult to complete as the parents age, and the years are only empty of a ceremonial shell.

    The memories of the year are full of father and mother, and the taste of the original year is their taste.

    I think of a recent theme activity on the Internet, called "Holding Mom's Hand", if your mother is still around, please hold her hand and relive the taste of the New Year when you were a child.

    Life has to go on, dedicate this year's imitation and shirt memories to my mother, and to the big family that loves each other all over the world.

    Traditional customs:

    Chinese New Year refers to the "New Year's Festival", which is now called the "Spring Festival". The main content of the New Year is to remove the old cloth and the new, worship the gods and ancestors, drive away evil spirits and disasters, and pray for the New Year in a good manner, with rich and colorful forms, lively and festive, and rich New Year's flavor, which embodies the essence of the traditional culture of Chinese civilization.

    According to the old custom, starting from the day of the sacrificial stove (dust sweeping day) on the twenty-third and twenty-fourth day of December at the end of the year, until the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month or the nineteenth day of the first month, the time of nearly a month is called "New Year", that is, the "Spring Festival period" that is now called; If you start from the preparation of "New Year's goods", it will be busy from December 15 and 6 at the end of the year.

    The 24th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is the day of sending off the gods, and every household holds a stove sacrifice activity to send the god of the stove and other gods to heaven. After sending the gods, every household began to "clean the tun" and hold a big cleaning. Chinese New Year's Eve, also called the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, family members who go out to earn a living must rush back to their hometown to reunite; If they can't get back, the family will have to make a room for that person's clothes to sign reunion.

    The whole family gathers around the table to eat the most sumptuous dish of the year (yáo), and a blazing oven is placed under the table, and some copper coins are placed next to the stove to show that the warmth is like spring and the wealth is prosperous. After eating, the elders have to give the younger ones "New Year's money", and then the whole family sits around the fireside, talking and laughing, and staying up all night, which is called "keeping the New Year".

    On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to worshiping their ancestors and gods, believers also have to go to the temple to burn gold, burn incense, and make offerings. The whole family travels in new clothes, which is called "travel" or "Xingchun", which means that the more you walk, the more you can save money.
