If there is no temple fair, the first day of the Lunar New Year should be a day to visit each other and pay New Year's greetings. In the past, children counted on receiving a few more red envelopes in the New Year to enrich their small coffers.

New Year's greetings are a traditional Chinese folk custom, which is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year and express good wishes to each other. In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "New Year's greetings" was to congratulate the elderly on the New Year, including prostrating to the elderly, congratulating them on a good New Year, and greeting them with a good life. When you meet relatives and friends of the same generation, you should also give gifts and congratulations.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, after the younger generation gets up, they should first greet the elders and wish them a long and healthy life. After the elders are worshipped, the "New Year's money" prepared in advance should be distributed to the younger generations.

For the neighbors, Su Ri did not have much contact, but they could talk about meeting, and when it came to the New Year, they just went to the courtyard, met each other and hugged each other's fists and said: "Wishing you prosperity" and "Happy New Year", etc., and sat in the house for a while, without much courtesy.

Because he is not married, Zhang Fan has also received a lot of red envelopes.

Today, all the villagers have made money and made a fortune, and of course the red envelopes will not be given for five or ten pieces of land as in previous years.

The little ones in the village, in groups, went from house to house to pay New Year's greetings. The leader is actually a monkey, anyway, if someone else has it, it must also be, otherwise it will not leave.

Not only the villagers couldn't cry or laugh, but even the tourists who came to play couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, especially the monkey reaching out for a red envelope, which was really a bit funny.

Now the animals are all refined.

Watching temple fairs and joining in the fun, although it is also a hobby for children. However, when it comes to his own small treasury, he has to give up playing and say happy New Year when he sees people.

As for Zhang Fan's house, he has been to several waves of little guys, and as for whether there are any repeats mixed in, it is unknown.

Chen Baoli's family, who celebrated the New Year in Zhang Fan, also prepared plenty of red envelopes the night before. As one of the best bosses in the village, Boss Chen is also generous, especially for children.

In fact, not only the little ones in Zhangjiazhai, but also some children who went to Zhangjiazhai to play also received some red envelopes from strangers.

As long as they meet and say good New Year, Wishing you prosperity or something, the villagers will not be stingy. They carry a lot of pockets with them, and they can cope with this kind of scene at will.

The village committee also prepared a large number of red envelopes early, and specially arranged two village cadres to distribute red envelopes to passing tourists.

Although the red envelope money is not much, only a few yuan, everyone is very happy to receive the red envelope, and many tourists have posted pictures and hatred in the circle of friends.

"It's useless to tell me Wishing you prosperity, I'm still a child. Zhang Fan teased the little guys.

Usually, as far as he is the most generous, it is no wonder that the little ones are crazy to find him early in the morning, and when they meet, they rush up, shouting Wishing you prosperity, and their mouths are sweet.

Seeing the loss on everyone's faces, Zhang Fan smiled: "Okay! Uncle Fan invites everyone to watch the fireworks in the evening." ”

Children are not good at controlling their emotions, it is easy to be depressed, they can cry when they say they cry, but they will soon be happy after the rain and sunny days.

Watching fireworks is also one of the children's favorites.

They all know that Uncle Fan bought a car of fireworks and prepared to set them off on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they were all looking forward to it. The kind of beautiful fireworks, they've only seen them on TV, so they're looking forward to it.

Buying a large number of fireworks is not only for the villagers to watch, but also for the tourists.

The camera turned back to the scene of the temple fair. Today's main program is still a village temple fair that tourists feel is down-to-earth. They have not seen temple fairs, and there are often temple fairs of the City God Temple in the city.

Because of the city's wealth, the temple fair is held for several days, and even the implementation of traffic control is also a very important civil activity.

Chenghuang is an important deity commonly worshiped in Chinese religious culture, most of which are played by famous ministers and heroes who have contributed to the local people, and are the gods of Chinese folk and Taoist belief in protecting the city.

The towering Chenghuang Temple theater, the splendid worship hall, the exquisite and gorgeous brick carvings, the ingenious wood carvings, colorful paintings, and the ancient banyan tree all embody the profound historical and cultural heritage and see through the information of traditional culture.

"I have also seen temple fairs in the provincial capital, and people have done a lot of tall. "Some tourists look at the rural temple fair in front of them, and they feel a little troublesome, but it does not affect their appreciation.

He introduced that after the opening ceremony on the first day, the remaining six days of the temple fair will successively show the folk culture of Cantonese in the form of puppet gathering, folk culture parade, Cantonese Huacai, Chinese unique activities, martial arts conference, closing ceremony and other themes one day.

Among them, the climax of the whole temple fair is the folk culture parade held at 10 o'clock this Saturday morning, when under the guidance of the "gods of all roads" such as Fu, Shou, Lu, Eight Immortals, and God of Wealth, the miniature version of the statue of the god of the city god will be invited out of the temple for the first time to carry up to the four roads of Zhongshan to receive the blessings of all the people.

"If you have money, the scale is naturally not comparable to the temple fairs in the countryside. However, the countryside has the excitement of the countryside, and it feels more close to the people. The person next to him said.

Some tourists also made a cameo appearance in a team of gongs and drums, and experienced a lot of fun.

There are skilled villagers who also teach tourists how to beat gongs and drums to beat the rhythm.

There are also tourists who help carry flags, which feels quite fun. If you're in the city, people won't let them do that, you can watch, you can take pictures, but you can't get involved in causing trouble.

"Do you still want to tie paper?" someone asked curiously.

After all, paper-binding people are generally used for funerals, and if you get a paper-binding person to carry it away for a happy event, you will definitely be beaten to death.

Paper-binding is one of the ancient traditional arts in Chinese history, according to historical data, as early as more than 1500 years ago in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was the art of paper-binding in China, and it has reached a very high level.

After the Song Dynasty, there was a paper article sacrifice spirit, paper people and paper horses are quite common sacrificial activities, all over the country in all ethnic groups, paper is a comprehensive plastic, tie, painting as a whole, is the integration of various craft means as a whole, can be called a wonderful branch in folk art.

The folk art of hand-tied paper has a long history. As early as the Tongzhi and Guangxu years of the former Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Yan family made a paper artwork with exquisite shape and realistic shape, which also caused a sensation and was very popular with the people.

"No, paper is generally used for worship. Our temple fair, in fact, is also a ritual to worship the gods, what is so strange about the appearance of paper tieing? It is a kind of respect for the gods. Zhang Fan explained.

In front of me, there is a white horse tied with paper, and after a while, someone needs to carry the paper horse together.
