herbal tea

Guangdong people like to drink herbal tea best, and think herbal tea is an insurance company for the body.

Sick clothes can cure diseases, and clothes that are not sick can also prevent diseases. If adults don't drink several cups of herbal tea (mostly Wang Laoji) in a month, and infants don't accept seven star tea once every 2-3 days, they think that their health is not guaranteed.

Bamboo tube water is one of Guangdong herbal teas, which has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, moistening lung and expelling toxin.

Commonly used herbal teas, such as Wuhua Tea, Xiasangju Tea, and Wanglaoji Tea, are all composed of medicines with bitter taste and cold nature, and are suitable for depression syndromes such as colds at four o'clock, headaches and fever. Among them, Wang Laoji has the coldest medicinal properties, while Wuhua Tea and Xiasangju are relatively peaceful. Children's seven star tea is composed of drugs with sweet taste and slight cold, which is suitable for children's colds, fever, irritability and gnashing of teeth. Suitable for people with strong constitution, frequent sore throat, dry stool, red tongue and yellow greasy fur. However, the only feeling of foreigners who have drunk herbal tea is the word "bitter"! When I drink herbal tea, I take a sip and stuff it in immediately.

A few pieces of dried tangerine peel to remove bitterness.

Guangdong Yingchunhua City

Guangzhou is known as the "Flower City", and its annual spring flower market attracts worldwide attention. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys of Guangzhou are filled with flowers and potted oranges, and all major parks hold Spring Festival exhibitions, especially three days before New Year's Eve. Colorful buildings and flower stands were set up on the main streets of each district. Flower farmers from four towns flocked in, arrayed themselves and peddled flowers and oranges. The ten-mile-long streets were crowded with flowers and people until the early morning of the New Year's Day. This is a unique Chinese New Year's Eve flower market in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou has been planting flowers for 1000 years. As early as the Southern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, there were many fragrant flower fields in Zhuangtou Village on the south bank of the Pearl River. Ji Suxin, the pet of Liu Wei, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, was the flower girl in Zhuangtou. Kumquat symbolizes "good luck". Similarly, there are fruits handed down from generation to generation, which means to reproduce from generation to generation: bergamot fruit, like a palm, is as elegant and solemn as a believer, and is favored by good men and women.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there were a large number of narcissus heads shipped from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. After people buy it back, they cultivate it carefully and control the flowering period by adjusting the water temperature and sunshine. Narcissus seems to understand people's feelings. It often blooms in turn at the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, or in the firecrackers on the first day of the first month of the first month, bringing people endless fun. As the saying goes, "Flowers bloom with wealth", which is just a good sign. In addition, daffodils are delicate, graceful and fragrant, which is a must for every family.

Of course, there are many folk customs in Guangdong. For example: soup,

Lion dancing, bamboo planting, and even herding cattle in some places ... Each place has different characteristics, waiting for us to discover!

Survey: There are many legends about the origin of the Spring Festival, which are widely circulated among the people, and the most popular one is the story of ten thousand years. I chose this story for a deeper understanding. The outline of this story is: A long time ago, there was a small village under the beautiful Dingyang Mountain. On the hillside at the head of the village, there is a small stone house where a young man named Wannian lives. He was born in poverty and made a living by chopping wood and digging medicine. At that time, festivals were chaotic and farmers could not farm. Wan nian is a young man with calculation. He wants to set the festival accurately, but he doesn't know where to start. One day, Wannian went up the mountain to cut firewood and sat down under a tree to rest. The movement of the shadow inspired him, so he made a sundial and measured the shadow to calculate the length of the day. However, cloudy, cloudy, foggy and rainy days affect the measurement. He wants to make another timer to make up for the sundial. That day, he went up the mountain to dig medicine and came to the spring to drink water. The spring on the cliff was ticking rhythmically, which caught his attention. He looked at the spring, thought for a while and then lost his mind. I went home, drew a picture, tried it, and made a five-story leaky pot. From then on, he measured the shadow of the sun, looked for loopholes and worked hard. Slowly, he found that every 360 days, the length of a day would be repeated from the beginning. The solstice in winter is the shortest day. At that time, the son of heaven was called Zu Ti, and the festival went wrong, so he was in a hurry. He called a hundred officials to discuss the difficulties of the festival. The name of the festival official is Aheng. If you don't know the laws of the sun and the moon, you can say that people are careless and have sinned against God. Only by kneeling devoutly can you get God's forgiveness. Zu Ti took a vegetarian bath, led hundreds of officials to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, and sent a message to the whole country to set up a platform for offering sacrifices to heaven. But the sacrifices come and go, with no effect, and the season is still very chaotic; People all over the country have to serve and donate money to build altars. It's really bile mixed with coptis chinensis, and the pain is even worse. After ten thousand years, I couldn't help it, so I took his sundial and clepsydra to visit the son of heaven. I met the son of heaven, talked about the winter solstice, talked about the cycle of the sun and the moon. Zu Ti was overjoyed at this. Even if he built a large-scale building, he built the Sun and Moon Pavilion, the sundial platform and the Leaky Pot Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven. Twelve boys were assigned to serve for 10,000 years, six boys kept the sundial and six boys kept leaky cauldron, carefully recorded and reported on time.

One day, Zuyi asked Ah Heng to go to Riyuege to inquire about calendar making. Wannian pointed to the calendar and said, "Sunrise and Sunset 360, start all over again. The vegetation is divided into four seasons and there are twelve laps a year. " Ah Heng was deeply sensible when he heard this, but his heart was uneasy. He thought to himself: If the festival is set at 10,000 years, and the son of heaven is happy, who will listen to me? Ah Heng thought and thought, bent on getting rid of Wan Nian. One day, A Heng found that he was a good shooter, so he sent someone to his house to hold a wine feast, explained the reason and promised him a heavy gift. The assassin promised to assassinate him that night. On the second drum of the day, the assassin left Aheng drunk and ran to Riyuege. But around the Temple of Heaven, Sun Moon's adult was guarded by guards, so the assassin couldn't get close, so he pulled out his bow and arrow and shot at Wannian who was watching the stars on the Sun Moon Pavilion. Who knows that the assassin drank too much, his eyes were dim, and the arrow only hit Wan Nian's arm. Ten thousand years fell to the ground with a sigh, and all the teenagers cried for the thief. Hearing the shouts, the guards went out together, caught the assassin and leaned forward to see the son of heaven. Zu Ti asked the truth, sent a command to put Ah Heng into prison, and made a meditation to visit the Sun Moon Pavilion for ten thousand years. Wan Nian was very moved and pointed to Shen Xing and said, "Shen Xing has caught up with silkworms and astrology has been restored. Giving children in the evening, the old year has passed, and it is spring again. Let's hope that the emperor will make a festival. " Zu Ti said, "Spring is the first year of a year, so let's call it Spring Festival. Ai Qing has been in the cabinet for three years, and she has the courage to make the lunar calendar based on the full moon. This is really a great achievement. Ai Qing was assassinated by a traitor today. Come with me to the palace to recuperate. " Wannian said: "Although the lunar calendar was originally created, it is still not accurate, and there are still a few hours at the end of the year. If you don't decorate the end of this year, the sun and the moon will fly, and it will be wrong to come and go. I failed to live up to the expectations of all beings, and I am deeply grateful to the emperor. I am willing to break my heart, be careful and make a calendar. "

In this way, in the Sun Moon Pavilion for 10,000 years, carefully observe the ups and downs of vegetation and wheat bran, carefully calculate and moisten the end of the year. In May of that year, Zu Ti went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the gods, and then boarded the Sun and Moon Pavilion to present the May Peach to the God of Ten Thousand Years. The lunar calendar is ten thousand years, and Zu Ti looks forward to ten thousand years of hard work day and night. His eyebrows are white and his beard is white. He was deeply moved, so he named the lunar calendar the perpetual calendar and the birthday star of the sun, the moon and the moon. Therefore, people later called the Spring Festival "Year". Every Spring Festival, Shou Xingtu is hung in the house, symbolizing the longevity of the new year and paying tribute to the great achievements of that year.

One of the folk customs-posting Spring Festival couplets. Sticking Spring Festival couplets is an indispensable part of a series of activities to celebrate the Spring Festival. As early as a few days before the Spring Festival, the streets were crowded with vendors selling Spring Festival couplets. The Spring Festival couplets placed on the stalls are even more dazzling, which makes people overwhelmed. Blessing words are written on each pair of Spring Festival couplets, but they are different and intriguing. Some Spring Festival couplets read: "The breeze blows the willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and the spring rain urges the flowers in the north of Saibei". Some Spring Festival couplets read: "Water, mountains and mountains are painted everywhere, and every household is rich every year". In just two sentences, I wrote the best wishes in people's hearts during the Spring Festival.

Grandpa said that Spring Festival couplets have a long history in China. Wang Anshi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "January Day": "The firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su. Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. " The new peaches and old characters in this poem are the prototype of Spring Festival couplets. Spring Festival couplets are also a kind of couplets. As a unique literary form, it has developed for more than a thousand years since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but its heyday is still in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Legend has it that after the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty made Jinling his capital, before New Year's Eve, he sent a message to Jinling and other places: "Officials and scholars must add a pair of Spring Festival couplets to their doors." On New Year's Eve, he personally went out traveling incognito to show his true feelings. Once he found a family that didn't post Spring Festival couplets and asked the rear that it was a pig eunuch. He didn't know how to write the contents of his business into couplets. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and wrote a couplet for the eunuch: "Split the road of life and death with both hands; Cut off the roots with one knife. " It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor immediately, has made outstanding contributions to the promotion and development of Spring Festival couplets. In the prosperous period of Kanggan, the art of Spring Festival couplets is becoming more and more perfect. No matter from the content or form, there are certain levels. Kangxi is also a master of writing couplets. The title of his Zhenjiang Jinshan Qifeng Pavilion couplet is a good couplet: "Clouds sink in the morning and rain is coming." Nowadays, Spring Festival couplets have entered a brand-new era. As an ancient evergreen tree, Spring Festival couplets will surely show its attractive style in the new century.

Folklore II-Iron Gate God. Door gods are also the same as Spring Festival couplets, but with the development of culture, they are rare. Personally, I think its weakness should be due to the transformation of the gate by modern architecture. It is difficult for the portrait of the door god to find a place here, so it gradually dissipates. I looked for it in many ways and finally saw it. According to the painter's introduction, this is a portrait of Tea God and Lei Yu. They were very angry with Strafe in one hand and iron mace in the other. Through the information, I learned that in ancient times, there were two brothers, Nash Lei Yu, who lived in Dushuo Mountain. Pick wild fruit and peach trees to live. There is a peach tree on Dushuo Mountain, and its shade is like a cover. One day, the ghost king wanted to steal some peaches to eat here, so he asked the kid to pick them. As a result, he was beaten by two brothers. In a rage, the ghost king showed his true colors and broke into the homes of two brothers at night. The two brothers were calm, subdued the ghost king and threw him to the tiger, and all the ghosts obeyed. Every morning, they look back at the ghost under this peach tree. If an evil spirit harms the world, tie it up and feed it to the tiger. Later, people used two pieces of red wooden boards to draw pictures of God Tea and Lei Yu, and hung them on both sides of the door to ward off evil spirits.

The third folk custom-stick grilles. Chinese paper-cutting art is an ancient handicraft art and a beautiful folk art in China with a long history. It is rooted in the broad masses of the people and has always been loved by people. It has been circulating for nearly two thousand years. As a part of folk custom, paper-cutting art is existing and developing with its tenacious vitality, and its vigorous vitality has been greatly displayed today. Whether ancient or modern, a pair of scissors and a small piece of paper can cut out paper-cut works with a strong flavor of life. Animals in the zodiac, such as puppies and lambs, are lifelike, just like the wonders of nature. On the festive day of the Spring Festival, we can see all kinds of paper-cut works on the windows of every household-window grilles.

Folk customs IV- new year pictures. Besides posting Spring Festival couplets and hanging door gods at the door, it is also a great event for the Spring Festival to enjoy New Year pictures in stick grilles by the window. These New Year pictures add a harmonious and quiet atmosphere to every household. In the old society, during the Spring Festival, from the gate to the hall, every household was covered with colorful New Year pictures, symbolizing good luck and wealth. The reason why the Spring Festival is full of joy and excitement has played a certain role. Generally speaking, people with rich families always like to hang birthday stars, purple stars, blessings, blessings and longevity characters in the hall. Flowers and birds such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are naturally popular. At present, the more common ones on the market are Yuzilie Lotus (a fat doll is playing with a big goldfish on the lotus) and Phoenix Lion (there is a stone on the left of the picture, and two teenagers on the right are talking about the attached picture). For more than a year, they still describe the story lines in The Legend of the White Snake, Journey to the West and Water Margin.

The fifth folk custom-lucky money. In the final analysis, it is still necessary to return to one thing that children are most looking forward to during the Spring Festival, that is, giving lucky money. There is a very popular story about lucky money. In ancient times, there was a little demon named Chong. On New Year's Eve, he came out and touched the head of a sleeping child. The child often cried with fear, and then he had a headache and became a fool. Therefore, on this day, every family will turn on the lights and stay up late, which is called "keeping special".

There was a couple who had a son in their later years and regarded him as their favorite. On New Year's Eve, they were afraid that "worship" would harm their children, so they took out eight copper coins to play with them. When the child fell asleep playing, they wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and put them under the child's pillow. The couple dare not sleep. In the middle of the night, an evil wind blew the door open and blew out the lights. As soon as Chong reached out to touch the child's head, the pillow flashed all over the floor, scaring Chong away. The next day, the couple told everyone about wrapping eight copper coins in red paper to scare them away. After that, everyone learned, and the children were safe.

It turns out that these eight copper coins were exchanged by the Eight Immortals to secretly protect the children. Because "pilgrimage" and "old" are homophonic, it gradually evolved into "lucky money" In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was called lucky money. What elders give their children is also called lucky money. "So some places call giving children lucky money' string money'. In modern times, it has evolved into a kind of red paper wrapped in 100 copper coins, which is given to the younger generation, meaning "long life". "For an adult mistress, put a silver dollar in a red paper bag, which means" one book is profitable ". After the currency is changed to paper money, the elders like to go to the bank to change their children into new paper money with face numbers, wishing them "promotion step by step". Although it is good to give lucky money, it follows the tradition and reflects the deep expectations of the elders for the next generation. Nowadays, parents are often lavish, spending 1200 yuan or even thousands, which will not only make their children spend money in improper places, but also make them develop the habit of wasting money lavishly. Therefore, when parents give their children lucky money, they should not give too much, but should guide their children to use the money in the right place.

The sixth folk custom-Chinese knot. Throughout the streets, Chinese knots can be seen everywhere. It is said that a Chinese knot is a whole knot woven by a monk with a rope in his spare time, and then he puts on precious Buddhist ornaments and weaves the word "Wang" on his buttons, which has been passed down to this day. At that time, in order to show his devotion to the Buddha, the monk made it up with thread, and also made up the word "Wang" in his ear to show his belief in "supreme". Later, it gradually flowed into the society, and the meaning of Chinese knot changed from faith to the symbol of China people's "single-minded" affection, friendship, love and their master's "supreme" status. From small to large, from coarse to fine, the red big Chinese knot reveals the profoundness of China culture.

Summary: In the long history and culture of ancient China, different forms of folk customs, such as Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, paper-cutting and door gods, have been bred, which fully embodies the uniqueness of China traditional culture. As the inheritors of these precious cultures, we should carry them forward.

After this investigation, I visited the folk customs of China from ancient times to the present, and got a deeper understanding of the history and culture of China. I am really proud of the long history and culture accumulated by our country from generation to generation!

Planting flowers is a multi-ethnic country. Fifty-six nationalities make up a flower, with different nationalities and customs. Different customs create different holiday customs. When it comes to holiday customs, I will first think of visiting temple fairs, which is a custom in Beijing. I believe you have heard a lot, but not many people have actually seen it. Let me show you this interesting folk custom.

On the first day of New Year's Day, temples inside and outside Beijing hold temple fairs, which are large-scale fairs. Early in the morning, the stalls outside the temple gate began to sell, and a street was crowded with people. Walking into the temple gate with a good mood, the first thing that catches your eye is this year's zodiac, which is full of plush, porcelain and jade. There are exquisite gadgets on the container, which are neat and orderly and very eye-catching.

After visiting exquisite handicrafts, I came to the food street to prepare a sumptuous meal. The smell is everywhere. I can smell it ten miles away. The food street is full of snacks, bringing together delicious food from all directions. Just looking at it makes my mouth water. It must be very comfortable to come here to taste all kinds of food! I couldn't help feeling excited when I heard that Alibaba's mutton kebabs in Beijing market were delicious and had meat. I found a few veterans and ordered a dozen kebabs in a row. I sat in a small chair and watched the bustling market while eating. It's really delicious. It's not even enough for a kebab. Who calls Beijing's snacks delicious?

After eating and drinking enough, I continued to watch with me and trotted to the children's world. There are all kinds of prize-winning games for children to play, as well as rare toys introduced in the New Year, such as "air gun shooting", "pulling a cart by a sheep" and "splitting Huashan Mountain". There are many kinds of temple fair games with their own characteristics, some exciting and some interesting, all of which are eye-opening, feast your eyes and have endless fun.

Although I didn't play (I feel so childish! But these activities have made countless children happy.

Enough fun, bid farewell to the playground, listen to the quintessence of Chinese culture with me, and feel the true meaning of culture with your heart. If you don't get to the performance theater early, it's really hard to see the actors performing on the stage. The theater is ten miles and eight floors, surrounded by literary lovers. The programs here are colorful and endless, including Peking Opera, Pingju, Crosstalk, Sketch, Mime and so on. One after another, let the audience under the stage indulge in it. Hum two familiar songs, and those who don't understand them also use their hands to gesture up and down in the air, follow the melody, shake their heads, and enjoy the charm of Beijing opera and the joy of sketches. After the performance, applause spread throughout the venue and echoed over the temple fair for a long time.

I jump around, sweating, but I also enjoy it. Although there is no fireworks festival, it does not lose the festive atmosphere, but adds endless fun. The old temple fair, the new temple fair, the big gathering of east, west, north and south, it has its unique charm, it has its excitement. The motherland has bred different nationalities, different folk customs and colorful flowers, but the customs of old Beijing make me happy!
