Title: "Chinese Traditional Festival Picture Book" (8 volumes)
Author: Xu Pingping
Illustrated by: Ah Pei
Producer: @小果树绘本
This set of books introduces a total of eight traditional festivals on the mainland, take the Spring Festival as an example, now the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker, only the congested cars on the street are reminding me, oh, the New Year, everyone is anxious to rush home for reunion, all the New Year's flavor is condensed into one word - "gathering".
Tongtong's family went to grandma's house for the New Year, because her mother hadn't been home for a long time, and the New Year was going to be reunited. Tongtong is at her grandmother's house, and she pasted the Spring Festival couplets with her grandfather, and the Spring Festival couplets were written by Grandpa Chen next door!
In the afternoon, the whole family made dumplings together, Tongtong was looking forward to eating the "coin dumplings", but she ate her belly round, and she didn't eat the "coin dumplings", just when she was depressed, grandma smiled and sandwiched a dumpling, "Boom" Tongtong ate the coin, haha, grandma gave her good luck to her most beloved little granddaughter.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Dad went to the yard to set off firecrackers, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, hoping that the New Year would be happy and auspicious, of course, no firecrackers can be set off now. I remember when I was a child, a businessman across the street from my house, every Chinese New Year's Eve, would set off that kind of big firecracker, I felt that it could blow up a street, that was a sense of ceremony, I haven't had that kind of heart-pounding feeling for many years [snickering R]
On the first day of the new year, wear new clothes and greet the elders, and the children will receive New Year's money.
In fact, there are some very interesting Spring Festival customs across the country:
Guangdong - lion dance, flower street
יהוה—יהוה (יהוה)
Jiangsu - Playing soy sauce for the New Year
Shanxi - make flower buns
SHANGHAI – No soup for Chinese New Year's Eve
Guangxi - dancing chicken, dancing spring cattle
...... Do you have any special customs there?
The whole set of books revolves around the lives of the Tongtong family and the neighbors, telling about the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, February 2, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival, these 8 traditional festivals, written by the winners of the Bing Xin Award, illustrated by the post-90s cutting-edge illustrators, the text reveals a warm affection, and with soft watercolor, the reading experience is very good!
