The Spring Festival has always been the most important festival of all ethnic groups in China, especially the Han nation, and people's attention to the Spring Festival is incomparable to any other festival.

It seems that since birth, the father's personal rumors have begun to take root in the depths of the child's young heart, year after year, and after the child grows up, he will pass on the importance of the Spring Festival to his own children.

After such a generational inheritance, the Spring Festival is not just a simple monster in the legend of the Nian Nian, but a cultural inheritance that has been integrated into the heart of the Chinese nation.

Go home for the New Year!

In 200, when the tide of migrant workers had begun to appear, and as the end of the year approached, many migrant workers who had left their hometowns boarded the train to their hometowns with large bags and small bags full of joy.

Spring Festival, for them, means home! Going home during the Spring Festival means reunion and family affection for these migrant workers who have been running around for a year.

However, it should also be noted that with the development of social economy, while people are greatly enriched by materials, traditional customs have begun to be influenced by foreign culture and fierce competition, and have begun to be forgotten by young people.

In the past, no matter how poor and busy you were, going home for the Spring Festival was the biggest expectation in the hearts of those who were there. Even if it's just going home for the Spring Festival and eating dumplings with your family, even if you travel thousands of miles, you don't hesitate to do it.

But now, for those young people who are already familiar with city life, cars and lights, the Spring Festival has become a burden for them, giving them a headache.

Before the Spring Festival holiday approached, they all became listless, because it meant that they were going to have a hard time again! Parents urge marriage, and various expenses during the festival, such as New Year's money for children, gifts for elders, gatherings of friends, etc., may spend most or even all of the money saved this year.

I don't know what it started with, people began to travel abroad for the New Year, go to the restaurant to book a table for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In the past two years, many people have followed suit, so that many hotels and hotels have been open as usual during the New Year, so as to make a good profit during the peak of everyone's consumption during the New Year.

In contrast, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in the countryside is undoubtedly much better!

□↗dǐng□↗diǎn□↗小□↗語,.2♀3.o∨s_(); Firecrackers, preparing for the New Year's food, although the customs are different in various places, but the joyful atmosphere is definitely not the city people hang a few lanterns, paste a pair of couplets can compare. For example, in Wangjiazhuang, it is generally from the twenty-third year of the lunar month, and it is necessary to start preparing for the New Year.

First of all, on this day, according to the custom, you have to clean up, sweep away the cobwebs of the house, wipe the dust from the corners of the mirror, paste the newly bought New Year paintings or the God of Wealth, and the most important thing is the hearty lunch at noon.

The local custom is to make a sumptuous meal at noon, and the same is true for the New Year. This diǎn is different from many places where dinner is done at night, the locals get up early in the morning on New Year's Day, and before dawn, they press the men and boys in the family to go to the cemetery to burn paper for the ancestors.

Come back and eat diǎn casually, and then the whole family will work together to prepare the sumptuous lunch at noon. There is no set standard for this meal, but it is customary to have fish, a bowl of stewed pork, and a bowl of chicken.

And now, it is even more popular to eat pig's trotters and elbows! Especially the pork knuckle, the whole pork knuckle of different sizes is put in the pot and stewed for a long time, and then directly served on the table, and the look at it has already made the mouths of those who like meat water.

For children, the taste of the New Year may be that they can eat good things every day, they can get together with their friends every day to set off firecrackers and play, and of course, there is the indispensable New Year's money.

In rural areas, the Chinese New Year is the best time for relatives and friends to get together and communicate. From the second or third year of junior high school, people have dinner every day.

This may be a way of connecting feelings passed down from ancient times, and it may be difficult for everyone to have the opportunity to meet on weekdays, but during the Chinese New Year, taking advantage of the time, it is natural to get together to chat about family life and drink a little wine.

If there are many relatives, one or twenty tables can be set up in this one, and three or five tables can be placed in the few, and the strangeness that has not been seen for a year is suddenly gone.

At this time, the most excited is undoubtedly the children, there are not so many worries of adults, they can have a crazy fight with groups of peers on this day, and they can also have a beautiful meal, so unhappy!

It's a pity that with the passage of time and the change of social atmosphere, people plunge into the eyes of money, in order to make money, in order to be lazy, this kind of scene can no longer be seen.

During the Chinese New Year, the New Year's greetings have become a formulaic door, carrying diǎn gifts to the door for a while, and then quickly going to the next house to repeat it, and it is common to be able to go to four or five houses in a day.

Of course, in modern society, most of the young people go to work in other places, and most of the Spring Festival holidays are only five or six days.

But officially because of this, the atmosphere of the New Year, the lively New Year's flavor of the New Year when I was a child, can no longer be seen. No matter how many firecrackers you set off and how many precious ingredients you buy, you can no longer feel the joy of the New Year when you were a child.

Fortunately, with Wang Yong's intervention and the attention of the village, Wangjiazhuang's New Year's flavor has always been the strongest.

The long street banquet, the New Year's fair, twisting Yangge, and even getting together to play cards with good relationships are all so full of New Year's flavor. Everyone gathered together to blow about this year's harvest, and look forward to the future, and the people of Wangjiazhuang, who don't have to worry about money, live freely and richly.

Since childhood, the sound of firecrackers has begun to sound continuously every day, from the time the sun has not yet risen, until the sky is full of stars, you can hear one after another explosions.

The smell of the rich food from every household that condensed over the village never completely dissipated, and you sang and I appeared, in exchange for the happy laughter of the children who had gained a circle.

Wearing new clothes one by one, even the poorest families will try their best to buy new clothes for their children before the year, which is related to the face of relatives in the first month, but it is careless.

Of course, in today's Wangjiazhuang, there is no problem in saying that it is a New Year every day. But no matter how much you eat and drink, that atmosphere can't be compared to this time.

This may be what people often call the flavor of the New Year!

Starting from the lunar month, almost a month and a half, almost everyone will concentrate on a busy and sweet state. They used the income of the four seasons to carefully concoct a New Year's flavor, worship heaven and earth, worship the gods, worship the ancestors, entrust the plot of the family, and express their feelings for the year.

Times are changing, and many customs are also changing, but the food that once shaped the order of lifestyle and etiquette is still vibrant, and this is the flavor of the New Year!

Wang Yong was busy in the kitchen at home alone, and a stream of white neatness enveloped the entire room, making him look even more immortal in it.

After receiving a call from his mother from the United States early this morning, he went to his grandparents' grave before dawn to burn some paper money for the second elder, put a few second kicks, and a few packs of hanging whips to let them have a good New Year, and then he returned home and began to prepare for the feast at noon.

was originally a day of family reunion, but he was the only one left busy, and there was no trace of frustration or sadness on his still slightly immature face. Grandma said that she was going to accompany him for the New Year, but she didn't think of a phone call and recruited her to the capital to participate in the group meeting and a series of other activities.

The old lady was going to take him to the capital, but Wang Yong, who finally had this opportunity to be alone, could he agree, mess around, and coquettish After finally sending the old lady away, he decided to close the door immediately.

I turned out a brush that was bald, got a diǎn ink, and found the red paper that I had specially asked for from the three concubines before, and after a few strokes, I pasted this piece of paper on the door.

"Closed doors, no reception!"

After Liu Bin and Gao Gui were turned away one after another, Wang Yong finally became pure on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone in the village knew that Wang Yong wanted to be alone and quiet, and after he was not angry, no one came to disturb him.

When he returned from the cemetery, he began to light a fire to burn the boil, and now the beef and potato stew in the cauldron has been stewed for more than three hours, and it is crispy.

The aroma that came out of the poorly sealed lid of the pot, mixed with steam, drifted mischievously in the air, and from time to time it penetrated into Wang Yong's nostrils, making him have to work very hard to restrain his **.

On the gas stove, one is lamb chops stewed in a pressure cooker, and the other is a carefully selected wild yellow croaker of more than two catties that can be cooked.

The fish in this pot was not stewed dry, and most of the soup was left in the pot, and it could not even cover the body of the fish. It's not that Wang Yong is short of time, or maybe he has too much water in his hands. Instead, he deliberately added more water in order to be able to eat natural fish jelly.

For this reason, he also deliberately added some soaked soybeans to the fish soup, and a large amount of collagen was dissolved in the soup, and after low temperature freezing, it was fixed into it, and it became fish jelly.

Fish jelly is not eaten until the evening, and now, Wang Yong has brought down the fish pot, restarted the pot, and is ready to start stir-frying. How can a Chinese New Year's luncheon not have a few stir-fried dishes?

Although he was the only one at home during the Chinese New Year this year, Wang Yong did not want to treat himself badly. Four cold dishes, six hot dishes, that's one indispensable. The old vinegar sting, the fried thousand seeds that have been returned to the pot, the three shreds, and the pickled radish are all hungry and appetizing cold dishes, and they are Wang Yong's favorite food.

After methodically finishing the six plates of hot stir-frying, the six large bowls were served on the table, and the table full of delicacies did not make Wang Yong can't wait to start enjoying it. Because before he could enjoy these delicacies, he had another job to do. That is to set off a burst of firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck of the year and please a good fortune.
