[Foreword] Love life, still value traditional culture. Write about the joy of home.

There is a custom in Jiangnan Water Town, every New Year always steamed rice cake, speaking of that rice cake, the famous hall can be many miles: there are honey date red cake, lard white cake, hundred fruit cake. The baguette with nuts and walnuts is my favorite.

It was hard to look forward to the New Year, and Grandma always said, "Go and go, Xiao Yuan (nan, a sound) don't mess around." "Because Grandma was afraid that we would not understand things and said unlucky words, it would anger The Stove God, and the rice cake would not be steamed." But the more Grandma didn't tell us to look, the more we looked. Grandma's serious appearance adds a sense of mystery to the steamed rice cake.

Now, Grandma is old, and the matter of steaming rice cakes has been picked up by Mom and Dad. Naturally, there is no rule that we are not allowed to look at steamed rice cakes. Chinese New Year's Eve, I volunteered to be the "fire head army", and my sister took over the work of mixing cake powder. Look at the busyness of the family: chopping wood, mixing cake powder, steaming water and smoke between the stoves.

I burned the fire vigorously, and in a few moments the cake was steamed. Dad praised me for the fire and said that my sister mixed powder and mixed it suitably. Dad also said: "Steamed rice cakes, in fact, are not like Grandma said, relying on Grandpa Vesta or something." Rice cake steaming is not good, in fact, the cake is put into the pot, some rice cakes fall into the water, the water is stirred, the steam can not come, the cake is not steamed well. "After listening to my father's words, I understood that My grandmother would not let us see the steamed rice cakes, for fear that we would say unlucky things and cause the rice cakes to be steamed, which was false because Grandma did not understand scientific reasoning."

After the rice cake was steamed, our family sat around the table, talking and laughing, and my grandmother laughed and bent over. Chinese New Year's Eve is a day to leave the old and welcome the new, grandma values the mouth gloss, but also the performance of the traditional culture. Now, we are older, more sensible, not only able to do things, but also more loving traditional customs. warm steamed rice cakes on the Chinese New Year's Eve Festival, praying for happiness and high year; Chinese New Year's Eve warm and hung red lights, praying for the day to be fiery.

[Comments and Appreciation]

Can you find themes in your own life? Excavating ideas is a key point in the success or failure of composition. The author's colorful and sound description of the custom of "steamed rice cake", which is unique to Jiangnan's water towns, reflects the new thinking and new face of the new era, and at the same time attaches importance to traditional customs.

In the usual household affairs, the author uses contrasting techniques to calmly write out the different views of grandma and dad. Grandma refused to explore "my" expectations, for fear of angering Grandpa Vesta; Mom and Dad not only made "I" a "fire-headed army", but also praised me for burning (double, supplement) Wang, and more importantly, Dad's reasoning showed that Dad respected scientific reasoning.

As the successor of the new generation, the author understands the traditional ideas of his grandmother, accepts his father's scientific principles, and has his own understanding of traditional festivals.

This article also has merit in terms of structure and content arrangement. First, he wrote that he was driven out of the stove by his grandmother to create a "sense of mystery"; later, when he had the opportunity, the author volunteered to become a "fire chief". Therefore, the content of the article is closely related and the arrangement is reasonable, which promotes the development of the content and leads to the theme of this article.

The description of the scene of steaming rice cakes in the text is concise and decent, a bit noodles, showing the jubilant and lively festive atmosphere of the Water Town New Year Festival.
