Spring Festival is the expectation of filling the year

In memory, the Spring Festival seems to have kicked off with the sound of firecrackers.
When I was a child, the Spring Festival was a big red lantern, a colorful New Year painting, and a Spring Festival blessing character on the door of every household. It is the new clothes on the children's bodies, and the attractive pressure money in the hands of the adults. It is the smell of cakes wafting through the streets, and the smell of meat. It's people's smiling faces and contented eyes.
When I grew up, the Spring Festival was a train full of family affection, rushing from a foreign land to my hometown, filled with a year's expectation. The Spring Festival is the thoughts of both ends of the phone, from the mouth of the wanderer who can't go back, to the ear of the loving mother who is looking forward to the return of the child.
The Spring Festival is an indulgence that has been hard work for a year, it is to say goodbye to the usual habit of reducing clothes and food, and finally no longer feel sorry for the generosity of spending money with big hands. It is the action of temporarily unloading the burden on one's shoulders and allowing oneself to treat oneself in the most affordable way for three hundred and sixty-five hard days.
In the minds of Chinese sons and daughters, the Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also a plot, representing reunion and happiness.
Like a ship sailing far away, back to the shore of its dock—home, this harbor that allows fragility. Parents use strong love to mend their children's tired sails. Then, let them set sail and sail to the next shore.
It's like a car that has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, walked through the four seasons, came to a gas station on the road of life, refilled with oil, fully charged, and full of power on the road to conquer the next journey.
Compared with other traditional festivals, the Spring Festival has a richer connotation in the impression of Chinese. Emotionally, this is the day of going home, family reunion, children on their knees, sharing the joy of the world, and the lack of a family member is invisibly less of the taste of the year.
At the ceremony, it was a Chinese carnival. The food culture that has been handed down for thousands of years is displayed to the greatest extent in this festival. Whether it is the hot dumplings of the Chinese New Year's Eve night watch, or the Chinese New Year's Eve rice that means more than one year, it is the most sumptuous of the year, and the delicacies on the table of every household are so rich that they can almost match the full table of Manchu. The things that I usually don't want to buy will be taken home to taste during the Spring Festival.
Sticking couplets, setting off firecrackers, setting off fireworks, hanging lanterns, twisting rice songs, dancing lions, keeping the age, eating Chinese New Year's Eve meals, watching the Spring Festival Gala, making dumplings, worshiping the New Year... People celebrate the festival with colorful activities, turning the land of Shenzhou into an ocean of joy.
Chinese attaches great importance to the Spring Festival, not only because it is the end of the year, but also because it has accumulated a year of release of various emotions. A short revision of the mind can divide the article of life into dozens of different paragraphs. End the past year, then replan, start over, and achieve your next goal.
Because of the Spring Festival, life has become colorful, with hope, with expectations, with different memories. The long road of life, no longer single and boring, has become a piece of different scenery, frozen into a photo, collected in the photo album of life, bound into a thick album, with a lifetime of time, slowly looking through.
