#My Hometown My Year #Essay (Original) My hometown Yudai River, located at the junction of the four provinces of Sulu, Yuwan and Anhui, sending torches on the seventh day of the first month of the first month is a hometown custom for thousands of years, and it is also an indispensable ritual for people to communicate with the fire god during the Spring Festival! It's one of the things my buddies and I loved when we were teenagers! Because playing with fire and firing cannons is the favorite of teenagers! Sending torches, that is, sending the fire god, sending the fire god at home away! In this new year, there will be no more fire hazards in the home! There will be no fires!
Every seventh day of the first lunar month, as long as there are families with small children, it can be said that every household will make torches, and no household will fall. Imagine that sending torches is related to the peace of the family for a year? Once the Vulcan is gone, there will be no fire for a year, who will not pay attention to it? Besides, making a torch is also a thin wooden stick? How many straws? A handful of grass straw things.
Making torches is simple and simple, and it is really not easy to say that it is not simple. What if the torch is untied? Torches burning fast? Before the Vulcan was sent to the Southland, the torch was finished or fell apart? Is that a problem? The Vulcan did not send it away smoothly! There is a hidden worry of fire in the house! The family has a lot of uneasiness in this new year!
I had the impression that at first the torches were made for me by my father or brothers, and when I could do it myself, I would tie the torch myself. The straw and straw needed to set up torches must be picked up thoroughly, flammable and easy! After the torch is tied, it is also necessary to drip a few drops of candle oil on the torch or smear some refined lard, so that the torch is more vigorous and the fire god can go more smoothly!
The time to send torches is generally arranged in the second half of the afternoon of the seventh afternoon of the new year, why arrange the time in the second half of the afternoon? I don't know what that means.
I just remember eating lunch, and I look forward to the second half of the day soon, looking forward to starting to deliver torches early. Now think about why you are eagerly waiting to send torches? Is it not because of the enthusiasm of the fire and the sound of the cannon battles?
The ceremony of delivering torches finally began.
The mother began to give the fire god a beating, prostrating her head, and praying to the fire god to leave home and ascend to heaven in the south. At the same time, I was going to fire three cannonballs called the Great Thunderbolts, and it was at this time that the crackling of the cannons became a crackling sound. Needless to say, and needless to ask, the prelude to the delivery of torches from the surrounding villages has begun. Immediately after that, my father lit a torch for me, and I rushed out of the courtyard with the torch in my hand and went straight to the south. Why send torches to the Southlands? Instead of going northland? I don't know. Anyway, the torches in the village are sent to the south? What about sending it?
The torches are getting stronger and stronger against the wind! It makes me full of excitement and touch! It was about a mile from home to Nandi (the land south of the village), and I delivered the torches to Nandi in one breath, and many of my friends also came to Nandi one after another. Everyone put together the unfinished torches, and soon the fire was burning. The partners will also set off the cannons brought from home! In front of you, there is a wild and jubilant mixture of fire and cannon canes!
The fire gradually lost its enthusiasm and cheerfulness! The red sun has also faded into the treetops on the west side of the village.
We reluctantly left the Southland.
Sending the Vulcan on the seventh day of the first lunar month of the year? I don't know when Vulcan returned to thousands of households?
