Hazy And Clear New Year'S Red Cotton Padded Jacket

Youth is like a dream, youth is a dream.

Childhood memories are hazy, but there are clear images in the dim light.

When I came to this world, it was just the beginning of new China's founding.

All waste is rising and people are thinking.

Although life is as clear as autumn water, people have been very fragrant and colorful.

In the winter of 1951, when I saw the world, perhaps the first thing I saw was the big red fish lantern hanging on the roof of the northern dwellings.

Hanging the fish lantern in the new year is a custom in Beijing and Tianjin.

But the most important thing for Tianjin people is children.

White snow, red year, hanging money, Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, fish lamps, and the red dots on the steamed bread.

A scarlet red, reflecting my little red cotton padded jacket.

My mother made a red cotton padded jacket every year.

She always has to wait until the new year's Eve lights.

I'm looking forward to it for a year.

It is made of big red silk or red cloth, and some of them are lined with curly hair on the edges.

Every time before the lunar new year, when my mother tried on my new dress, she often hung a sentence.

At that time, material was not abundant. People usually could not abandon their old clothes, nor would they be able to add new clothes.

Perhaps it is for this reason that men and women, young and old, wish to change their new clothes when they celebrate the new year.

I remember when grandma used to coax me, she often said, "sugar goral offerings to the kitchen. When the new year comes, the girls will spend the flowers, the little ones will shoot, and the old men will wear the new felt hat."

Girls need flowers.

My little sisters, whether they are neighbors or cousins or sisters, will wear red or pink silk flowers or red velvet flowers during the lunar new year.

When you are not wearing flowers, you will tie a red cord or a red silk on the braid. The effect of the red silk is a three-dimensional bow.

When girls get together, it's better to see who has the best view.

Years ago, my mother would take me to the palace of the goddess. The North Street of Nangong was full of head flowers, red headed rope and red silk belt.

The candlelight on New Year's Eve reflects the cornucopia of velvet flowers on the round bun of grandmother.

I love to see the red velvet flowers with several pieces of light, and I will pester my grandmother about its origin.

The treasure bowl really has a wonderful story.

Legend has it that in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Shen Fu, Yuuna Mami and Wanshan. He saw someone slaughtering the frog early in the morning, and took out the only money he had to buy the 20 frogs.

As a result, a few days later, one night, when he heard the sound of the frog outside, Shen Wansan went out and saw dozens of frogs surrounded by a basin to thank him.

The frog put down the basin and jumped away.

Shen Wansan took the pot home to make a wash basin.

But one day, his wife accidentally dropped the bracelet.

In addition to the treasure shaped red velvet flower, I love other silk flowers.

I often stood in front of the flower stall, saying nothing to go, enough to see, and even to get my mother to buy it for me.

Tianjin people still have many taboos in the new year.

No matter how busy the years were, fathers and brothers had to take time to get their hair cut, for fear that they would kill their uncle in the first month.

Nearly thirty of dusk, people who have been busy for a year have rushed to buy a pair of new shoes, "wear new shoes, take a new road", and buy shoes in the first month, lest they bring "evil" to the new year.

I remember one year, my red cotton jacket was burned by a firecracker, and I cried.

The old men told me not to cry for the new year, but I could not help but tears of injustice flowing down my cheeks.

My beloved red cotton padded jacket burns a hole for no reason. The hole is almost round, and the black edge of the paste shows white cotton.

I weep with pain, and I want to know how much the red cotton padded jacket that the little friends envy. Mom finds a piece of cloth cut off when it is cut and carefully sticks it to the seam.

Black cotton and white cotton could not be seen, but the short cotton lines still left a trail of repair.

At that time, I did not understand the value of "mother in hand", and it was even harder to appreciate the deep feeling of "dense seam" and the great maternal love.

I just stroked my red cotton padded jacket regrettably. I only knew that I could not restore it if I burned it.

A few times before the new year, dad will buy a package of red wool.

When mother is making a red cotton padded jacket, she will also give me a red sweater and trousers.

The best sweater is a lapel style. There is an opening in front of the collar. There are three holes on each side of the opening, and then a three strand red wool woven into braid. The two ends of the wool rope are two velvet wool balls.

I remember mother crossing the cross on a square cardboard with wool.

When a certain thickness is reached, the cross between the two sides is tied together, and then the knives are cut from the four edges of the cardboard to cut the wool. After pruning, they become two balls.

Not only do I wear red cotton padded jacket and red sweater, but my little sisters are also a red cotton padded jacket for the new year, but their cotton padded jacket is not as good as my mother's.

My mother is clever and intelligent, not only literate, but also oral, poetry and song.

Very sophisticated.

My red sweater is also decorated with colored wool by my mother. My red cotton padded jacket has not only rolled the white skin of the lamb, but even the knot of the pimple loop.

I remember a red cotton padded jacket, and the black button of my mother wrapped a circular button in the middle of the cloth, and every round cloth buckle was symmetrical on the cloth.

My father said that when I was a Chinese new year, I liked to sit on a Kang's red girl. I was the only girl under the two brothers.

When I grew up studying folklore, I discovered that although Chinese people, especially the Han nationality, love to wear red clothes, women in Tianjin are especially.

Vaguely remember, my grandmother often told me that the empress of Thean Hou Temple wore red, red and auspicious.

When I was elbows, I was influenced by the folk culture. In fact, the material of the goddess of heaven was not officially read until she was 40 years old.

"Ling'an Chronicles" wrote

The Mazu people of Mazu's hometown are also dressed in red pants, but they are playing the part of red, and the lower part is black or blue. They say they dare not follow the example of Mazu Zhu Yi, so the world only takes a piece of red.

It seems that women in Tianjin are thorough enough to share the meaning of peace with Mazu, but Tianjin women often wear red pants, red shoes, red flowers, red envelopes on their shoulders, and a red handkerchief at the top.

My impression is that when the new year is red, this is a symbol of auspiciousness.
