过年趣事

规矩”太多了!有些习俗还很怪，弄得我丈二和尚----摸不着头脑。无奈之下，我准备去问正在贴春联的爸爸。

“贴错了，贴错了!”我看见爸爸将“福”字倒着贴，焦急地喊起来。“没贴错!”爸爸不紧不慢地回答。“那为什么要倒着贴?”我疑惑不解。爸爸解释道:“将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒(到)了!”“哦，原来是这样!那过年还有什么习俗和规矩呢?”我又发出疑问。爸爸停下手中的活，耐心地给我讲解起来。

原来，过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来，直至今日。

听完爸爸的讲解，我这才恍然大悟。我又问爸爸:“为什么理发要赶在二十七呢?”“哦，民间有一条俗语，叫‘二十七，剃精细，二十八，剃傻瓜!”“原来是这样!”

我又发问:“那为什么要大扫除呢?”爸爸说:“大扫除是为了扫除一年的晦气!这是好兆头!”“那为什么送礼全送橘子啊?”我又不懂了。“这是因为啊，橘子的‘橘’字与‘桔’意思相同，而‘桔’和‘吉’又很相近，大家在新春佳节用橘子相互馈赠求个大吉大利!”“原来如此!”爸爸又说:“还有‘接财神’这一习俗。正月初五是财神的生日，在财神生日到来的前一天的晚上，各家各户办酒席，为财神爷过生日。”我这才全明白。

今天我知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得太迷信了!但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好!何必迷信不迷信?

同学们，我对“年”的习俗收获很大，可我不知你们的收获，若有更新奇的，快来告诉我吧!我先在这里祝你们新年快乐，万事如意!

过年啦!过年啦!我们一家终于团圆了。妈妈说:“今天我们吃饺子吧!”“好啊!”我、姐姐和爸爸异口同声地说道。

我们一家人分工。爸爸放肉馅，妈妈和姐姐包饺子，我则放饺子皮。我的笑脸蛋被饺子皮上的白粉弄得像花猫，惹得大家笑得脸都红了，我也随着他们笑，还把姐姐的脸也涂上白粉。

不一会我们就包好了饺子，于是我们把饺子放在锅里煮，等待着它烧熟。不一会，饺子馅的香味就传了出来，我就迫不及待德想打开锅。但妈妈说还没煮熟，我只好不做声，继续等待。又过了五分钟左右，饺子终于开炉了。 妈妈把先让我尝一下，诱人的香味早已迷惑了我，一口气我就吃下了那个饺子，结果把我的舌头烫得都失去了味觉，姐姐就在旁边看我笑话，捂着嘴偷偷笑着。于是妈妈把饺子分在四个碗上，让我们慢慢地吃。

一家人吃着自己做的饺子，别提多幸福了。

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”这是一首充满了过年气氛的诗《元日》。现在，只要你打开窗户那么一瞧，你准能感受到浓浓的年味儿:耳旁的鞭炮声声不断、家家户户的门上都贴上了春联、还有那酱鸭、酱肉……

今天呀，是大年三十，家家户户都换了新颜，大家忙个不停，都在为除夕夜而忙碌着，小区里处处都是欢声笑语。傍晚，我们会聚在奶奶家，团团圆圆过除夕，一会儿谈谈一年的生意，一会儿说说老人们的身体，好不热闹!奶奶在墙上挂了一个大大的红灯笼，呦，这灯笼，准是看到大家都来了，脸就红了，嘿，这可真像一个胖娃娃。奶奶在厨房忙进忙出，爷爷在客厅招呼大家吃瓜子、花生等。就只有我们小孩子闲着无聊，于是便结伴去放鞭炮。我们把鞭炮放在空地上，一群人蹲在一起，看哥哥点火。只见哥哥，不慌不忙地抽出一根火柴，轻轻一划，就擦出了火花，然后在导线上这么一点，哥哥一声令下，我们便四处跑开，看着鞭炮一个个爆开，听着那一声声鞭炮声，我们个个哈哈大笑，整个夜空中都是我们的笑声。抬头一望，家家的窗口都亮起了灯，像是一颗颗星星在那儿眨眼睛。终于吃晚饭了，大家齐聚一堂，欢欢喜喜的吃着晚餐，借着窗外放起了烟花，美丽的烟花在天空中绚丽缤纷，尽情地绽放自己的笑脸，像花一般迎接新年的美好，一朵比一朵高，一朵比一朵漂亮、绚丽。整个夜空像一片花海，是那么的惊艳。

“过年的感觉真好!”

“爆竹声声辞旧岁，欢欢喜喜迎新年”，新的一年又到啦!又有压岁钱喽!哦耶!

其实新年的风俗有很多:贴窗花、贴对联、贴福字、迎接新年、穿新衣服、拜年……叽哩呱啦一大堆。也许有人会问:“咦!怎么贴的都是红色的呢?”因为红色象征和平，美好，你总不能贴黑、白两色吧!

过新年之前，妈妈早早地就起床打扫卫生了，人们坚信，新年进入人们家中，一定要整洁、干净，新年才会高兴。

爸爸从车上拖下几袋年货，我马上跑过去帮忙，年货搬完了，我就准备去贴对联、窗花和福字，我总算有一项像样的活了。拿对联，搬凳子，拿胶水……忙得热火朝天，不亦乐乎。

除夕夜，许多海外学子回到家乡。这不，你看新闻上，电视上，想回家又买不到车票的人抱怨道:“等死也买不到票!”为此，坐“霸王车”的人那是相当的多，火车站到处都是人，挤得水泄不通。

我们是在外婆家过的年，晚饭快要开始了，二表哥一声令下:“兄弟们!准备好!开始放炮!”“啪!啪!啪!”三表哥抽出一个鞭炮，往盒上一搓，悄悄扔到表姐那边，装着若无其事的样子。“砰!”“救命啊!谁扔的?”表姐尖叫起来。三表哥和我们哈!哈!大笑。“原来你也这么胆小啊!”

新年趣事多，大人们忙着接待客人，小孩子忙着玩。我爱新年，祝大家新年快乐!

There are too many rules! Some customs are still weird, which made my second monk ---- confused. In desperation, I was going to ask my dad who was posting Spring Festival couplets.

"It's wrong, it's wrong!" I yelled anxiously when I saw my father put the word "Fu" upside down. "That's right!" Dad answered unhurriedly. "Then why do you post it backwards?" I was puzzled. Dad explained: "It is a custom to post the word'Fu' backwards, and post it backwards to indicate that'Fu' has been (arrived)!" "Oh, that's how it is! What are the customs and rules for Chinese New Year? "I questioned again. Dad stopped working and explained it to me patiently.

It turns out that there is a custom of setting off firecrackers during the New Year, which is derived from the story of "Nian Beast". A long time ago, there was a "nian beast" living in the deep sea for a long time, and on New Year's Eve it jumped out of the sea to do evil everywhere. One year, an old man used the method of shooting a cannon, wearing red clothes, and pasting red spring couplets to drive away the "nian beast". This was calm. Since then, this method has spread to this day.

After listening to my father's explanation, I suddenly realized it. I asked my dad again: "Why should I have a haircut at 27?" "Oh, there is a folk saying, ‘twenty-seven, shave fine, 28, shave fools!" “So it is!”

I asked again: "Then why do you want to clean it?" Dad said, "The cleanup is to clean up a year's bad luck! This is a good sign!" "Then why give all the gifts to oranges?" I don't understand again. "This is because, ah, the word for oranges is the same as for oranges, and oranges and auspicious are very similar. Everyone uses oranges to give each other a good luck during the Spring Festival!" "That's it!" Dad said: "There is also the custom of'accepting the God of Wealth.' The fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the God of Wealth. On the night before the birthday of the God of Wealth, every family will hold a banquet to celebrate the birthday of the God of Wealth." All understand.

Today I know a lot of knowledge about New Year’s customs, but I think it’s too superstitious! But it seems like a kind of fun, as long as it is happy! Why not be superstitious?

Classmates, I have gained a lot from the custom of "Nian", but I don’t know what you have gained. If there is something new, let me know! I’m here to wish you a happy new year and all the best!

New Year! New Year! Our family is finally reunited. Mom said: "Let's eat dumplings today!" "Okay!" I, my sister and my father said in unison.

Our family has division of labor. Father puts meat, mother and sister make dumplings, and I put dumpling wrappers. My smiley face was made like a tabby cat by the white powder on the dumpling skin, which made everyone blush. I also laughed wi
