[Unmodified version] As the ban on burning is becoming more and more strict, it is now rare to see fireworks during the New Year. Even in the suburbs where they live, they can only occasionally hear the sound of some scattered firecrackers. For the sake of environmental protection and to prevent air pollution, appropriate bans are possible, but blanket bans are questionable.
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.
In our New Year, firecrackers occupy a very important place. There are no firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, which seems to be a lack of excitement.
Therefore, instead of such a blanket ban, it is better to be more flexible and set the centralized burning area, time, quantity, etc.
In this way, it not only satisfies everyone's demand for a lively New Year, but also complies with the relevant prohibition regulations. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Although the ban is relatively strict, it is not so strict for general toy firecrackers. Ever since, Wu Tong, this crazy girl, ran out and bought a lot of them.
He had a lot of fun playing alone in the yard, and even invited Wu Hao to play tricks on Lin Wei.
Okay, okay, stop playing, we just swept the yard. Zhang Xiaoman raised his voice to stop him.
Mom, you’re celebrating the Chinese New Year, what’s wrong with you? Wu Tong started to act coquettishly.
No matter how old she is, she still plays, but she doesn’t look like a girl at all. Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but scolded.
Hehe, why do you have to look like a girl? I am who I am. Wu Tong smiled and showed off the small bulge of his biceps.
It seems that the martial arts class your dad and I signed up for you was a mistake. You were originally supposed to learn some kung fu for self-defense, but you didn’t expect that after you become a manly woman, who else will be willing to marry you in the future. Zhang Xiaoman sighed and said helplessly.
Humph, people who want to marry me are lining up, and I don’t like it. Wu Tong said proudly.
Come on, help me post the couplets. Wu Jianhua came out holding a couplet and waved to Wu Hao.
coming!
Wu Hao handed the firecracker to Wu Tong, clapped his hands and quickly moved a small ladder placed in the yard.
Posting Spring Festival couplets is basically one of Wu Jianhua and Wu Hao's essential tasks every year, starting from childhood.
When Wu Hao was a child, Wu Hao was holding the ladder below, and Wu Jianhua went up to stick it on. But now, Wu Jianhua is holding the ladder on the bottom, and Wu Hao goes up and sticks it on.
Although the position has changed, the post is still posted by two people.
Wu Jianhua attaches great importance to posting Spring Festival couplets every time. In the past, Spring Festival couplets were bought on the street, but now they are all written by a famous local calligrapher who lives in the community.
Different communities have different living contact circles. The community where my home is located belongs to a relatively high-end community in my hometown. The community is mainly composed of villas, so the people living here can basically be regarded as the elite class in my hometown.
With so many people living in one community, a circle naturally formed. Everyone is willing to make friends with this circle and make use of these resources.
So everyone has become familiar with each other. We usually meet and say hello, communicate with business owners in the group, help each other, and so on.
This local famous calligrapher also lives here. Every Chinese New Year, he writes Spring Festival couplets for free to the owners he knows well.
Perhaps because of Wu Hao's relationship, this calligrapher is very diligent and attentive every year.
A little lower, a little higher. Wu Jianhua commanded from a distance.
What now?
Go up a little.
how about this?
Go up a little more.
so?
Come down a little.
Ok?
Come down a little further, five millimeters!
Five millimeters? Wu Hao moved down slightly, and then asked: "Is it all ready?"
It’s all together, just right! Wu Jianhua said with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Wu Hao pressed down immediately, then gently smoothed and pressed. These handwritten couplets must be pasted with flour paste to be the most appropriate.
Many people are afraid of trouble or difficulty in cleaning, so they use tape or glue. However, in rural areas, or in many more traditional places, they are still willing to use paste. Because the stickers are reliable and the cost is low, if they are well preserved, a couplet can be posted on it for more than half a year.
If it is attached with tape and glue, a gust of wind may blow one night and the couplet will fall off.
alright! Wu Hao patted the red stain on his hands, then jumped down from the ladder neatly, and then admired the fruits of his labor.
Not bad, quite decent. Wu Hao said proudly with a smile.
Just such a couplet took so long. Wu Jianhua retorted, then cut the red rope and opened two very exquisite and beautiful statues of the door gods: "Go on, stick the door gods on them."
This door god is very beautiful. Lin Wei looked at the pair of door god statues unfolded by Wu Jianhua and couldn't help but admire them.
Regarding his future daughter-in-law's praise, Wu Jianhua nodded helpfully and said with a smile: "This is a traditional local handicraft, woodblock color printing. This year's edition was newly carved by a master, and ours was the first to be printed. One of several paintings, the ink lines are very clear.”
It's beautiful, it's a shame to leave it like this. Lin Wei said with some regret.
Haha, if you like it, I also have a set of portraits of the door god and the New Year printed with old editions from the Qing Dynasty. Now this set of old editions has long been listed as a cultural relic in our local museum, so this set of prints is also very rare. I will take it out for you to see when I get back soon. Lin Jianhua said proudly.
Thank you uncle! Lin Wei thanked her every day, then looked at the door god who had been taken by Wu Hao and gestured on the door and said: "Our country's traditional culture is long and profound, and has strong vitality. We have also been trying to restore this culture using digital technology. Displayed and then spread abroad, on the one hand, it is to promote and display our excellent traditional culture, so that foreigners can know and understand our traditional culture.
On the other hand, there is a saying that goes well, the more national, the more global.
Mr. Lu Xun said, "Things with local color are more likely to become world-famous, that is, they will be noticed by other countries." Going out into the world will be beneficial to China's activities.
When we make games, film and television works, we often suffer from the lack of content, but little do we know that these excellent things are all around us, and they are most easily ignored by us.
We have always been inferior to our neighbors in the promotion and display of this traditional culture. Many things are obviously learned from us, but they have become representative of their culture.
In addition, this kind of cultural export and cultural dissemination is also a manifestation of our country’s soft power to a certain extent.
The reason why the United States has been able to steadily dominate the world for so many years relies on nothing more than three magic weapons: the military, Hollywood, and Wall Street.
If we want to rise, these three are essential.
Of course, as practitioners in cultural content, we also have obligations and responsibilities in this regard to promote the excellent traditional culture of our country. "
