My hometown Xi is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and a famous cultural city with a long history. Located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain, the Weihe River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south, it has a winding climate, fertile land, rich products and beautiful scenery. I love my hometown, but I still don't know much about some of its culture, so I learned about it through this actual investigation.
Now let's follow my footsteps and learn about the culture of our hometown together!
Food is the most important thing for people, so I came to Xi 'an at the first stop. There is a large-scale snack street, namely Muslim Huimin Street!
The snacks here are all delicious. When I arrived here, I had already feasted my eyes first. Wow! There are really too many things here. I first walked into a small shop selling beef buns. ...
How's it going? Does it taste good？ Next, I went to a beef and mutton soup shop. There are many customers at home, and I believe the steamed buns made in this shop are also delicious.
This steamed bread smells good. I usually don't eat steamed bread. Today, I ate a big bowl. I didn't expect the food in my hometown to be so delicious. My hometown is great.
When a family has a birthday, the whole family eats noodles, which is called "longevity noodles". It means that this family can live a long life.
Eat five beans
Eating five beans is a folk custom in Guanzhong area of Xi. On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, five kinds of beans, such as soybeans, adzuki beans, mung beans, red beans and black beans, are cooked in a pot. The whole family can eat it, but they can't finish it. After eating it, it must be more than enough. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a bumper harvest and good luck in the coming year. After the winter solstice, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. Eat five beans. So eating five beans also means seasonal changes.
Today, I came to a specialty store in Xi 'an, where Demaogong crystal cake, Guo Qiong sugar, sour plum powder, preserved mutton, Huang Gui thick wine, peanut crisp, Lintong fire crystal persimmon, Lintong pomegranate, steamed stuffed bun, Chinese kiwi and chestnut are all available. ...
Hometown Culture Research Report No.2 Research Location: Laodong Village, Niuren Village and Qualcomm Village, Machong Township, Fenghuang County, Hunan Province
Respondents: local residents, students, tourists, etc.
Research time: July 7, 20xx to July 20xx 16.
1, Miao song
Listening to President Long, Teacher Ma and the old man Ma Zhiguan in primary school, Miao songs are like compulsory courses for the older generation. They mainly include gratitude songs, toast songs, congratulations songs and celebration songs, among which many metaphors and metaphors are used, most of which come from flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals in nature; Therefore, the songs sung are also taken from life to reflect life, which requires the singer to have a high ability of observation, identification, understanding and creation; It can be called the manifestation of mind and nature. Miao songs are generally not accompanied by music.
2. Ancient temple
According to villagers, the inspiration of Fenghuang Miao people can be divided into two categories: monkey drum and flower drum. Monkey drum is a dance in which artists imitate the movements of monkeys. Its movements are humorous and difficult, and not many people dance well. The flower drum is extremely soft and lyrical, and has strong ornamental value. It is very popular in the Miao areas around La 'er Mountain, Jiangshan River, Mayong and ebb well in Fenghuang.
There are generally two people playing with flower drums (that is, flower drums), but there are also four or eight people. In addition, there is another kind of person standing by the drum and beating the drum to control the dance rhythm, which is called beating the drum. There are three basic skills of flower drum: one is hand skill, the other is waist skill, and the third is footwork. There are two kinds of footwork: Fast Three Steps and slow three Steps. Whether the footwork is better or not is directly related to the "routine" of the flower drum, so it is very important.
3. Miao dance
Miao dances widely circulated in Fenghuang, western Hunan mainly include: bamboo pole dance and three-person shoes, which are easy to learn. For example, the bamboo pole dance is said to be a self-entertaining dance created by the Miao people in their production and life. Two square trees are paved in parallel to form a cushion frame, and several long bamboo poles with thick wrists are placed horizontally on the cushion frame. The pole holder holds the tail of a bamboo pole with both hands, and the bamboo pole collides with the cushion frame and the bamboo pole collides with each other to make rhythmic sounds. Dancers should not only jump back and forth quickly, but also jump out of natural movements (we two contestants)
Three-person shoes are also interesting. Three people wear a pair of shoes (two long boards) together. Miao girls are very powerful, dance beautifully and have a strong sense of rhythm, which amazes tourists and audiences.
4. Miao costumes
Miao costumes are mainly manifested in the following aspects: costumes, headdresses, silver ornaments, silver combs, silver bracelets, silver collars, round necks and big shirts, and a little embroidery on shoulders and cuffs; Wide-leg pants with lace on the edge of the pants; Wrap a tall blue cloth or printed handkerchief and wear silver ornaments. Men's clothes are mostly blue homespun clothes and trousers, covered with green heads. Now they only wear traditional clothes on traditional festivals and festive days.
5. Miao traditional festivals
Traditional Miao festivals in Xiangxi mainly include New Year's Day, April 8th, Dragon Boat Festival and June 6th. On the festival day, the villagers all wore holiday costumes and got together.
6, Miao hospitality etiquette
When tourists enter Miao village, Miao people will carry out the custom of "three cards" when blocking the door, that is, "brand songs", "brand drums" and "brand wine". The so-called "brand songs" mean that when distant guests come to Miao village, young men and women in Miao village should bow their shoulders and hold hands to express their warm welcome by singing. "Card Drum", that is, on the way into Miao Village, Miao Sister's aunts will try drum skills with the guests by knocking drums and blocking doors to show the colorful and inspiring wisdom of Miao people; "Kajiu", that is, the hospitable Miao people blocked the door with their own corn buns or rice wine at the entrance of the village. After writing Miao songs about agriculture or family affairs, Miao people will ask questions to their guests. If the guest answers correctly and drinks wine, it shows that the guest respects the Miao people and can enter the village and be tried as the most distinguished guest. This is a very typical Miao culture.
6. The current situation of Miao culture in Xiangxi.
Miao people's ability to sing and dance and their love for singing and dancing have been fully demonstrated here. I remember it was past eleven o'clock in the evening when we arrived, but Miao songs echoing in the village didn't feel tired at all, and didn't stop until twelve o'clock in the evening! It is also known from the survey that Niuren Village is a village with a small population but the largest number of speakers around, and singing all night is also common here.
The survey found that children here hardly understand these traditional things. On the one hand, their parents have little time and energy to teach them. On the other hand, they don't like to settle down and study hard. Of course, the biggest thing is that it is not taken seriously. Driven by the social atmosphere and the present situation, everyone is busy making a living, and it is difficult to take care of these. Usually duets pay more attention to their leisure and hobbies, without thinking about how to inherit and develop. The reflection of these facts has to make us worry about the inheritance of the cultural heritage of the motherland. Even in this place, it is deeply covered by interests, and the so-called protection policy has little effect. Of course, this is not as simple as a policy. To change this situation, we not only need to change the overall form (improve living standards, etc.). ), it is also the will of Miao compatriots to dedicate themselves and maintain and inherit their ancestral traditions with their lives. These all need the corresponding support of social forces and national policies. After all, food is the most important thing for people. Only by solving the basic living security can people put their extra energy into the spiritual world. Fortunately, the day before we came back, Mr. Ma told us a lot about Miao culture. Finally, he took out a book of his own, which was based on a story about the pursuit of love freedom that took place in the early Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. And tell us that he will use his life to inherit the fine traditions left by his ancestors and pass them on.
My hometown is in Weihai, one of the top ten livable cities in China, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with rich seafood and beautiful environment. The village where I live is Puwan Village, a village where you can see the sea only by walking for more than ten minutes. The most famous building in the village is the seaweed house. Although most people live in buildings now, several ancient and distinctive seaweed houses have been preserved.
Because it is close to the sea, kelp, the raw material used to build seaweed houses, is particularly rich. The roof of seaweed house adopts unique kelp grass, which is layered, grayish white in light brown and deep temperament in simplicity. The "seaweed" used to build seaweed houses is not ordinary seaweed, but wild seaweed such as seagrass growing in shallow water of 5~ 10 meters. Seaweed is green when fresh, and turns purple-brown after drying, which is very elastic.
The key step to build a seaweed house is to cover the roof with seaweed, which is also called "thatched house" by locals. In fact, the principle of thatched houses has something in common with the installation of tiles in tile houses, except that thatched houses are made of seaweed layer by layer from bottom to top. Building a house with seaweed is a craft. The quality of seaweed house and the length of use time mainly depend on whether seaweed is thatched and dense. Because as long as the house doesn't leak, the wall is difficult and can live forever. It is said that it takes three or four people more than ten days to build a seaweed house. However, nowadays, many skilled seaweed house builders are gone, and only a few people can inherit this skill. Compared with modern houses, seaweed houses are more integrated with people's wisdom and skills, reflecting the combination of man and nature and their harmonious coexistence. Without reinforced concrete, this primitive building is more likely to make people feel good.
According to my investigation, seaweed houses have existed since our village was built, with a history of about five or six hundred years. Due to the construction of new countryside, many large tile houses have sprung up. In this process, other villages gradually eliminated the ancient seaweed houses because they were incompatible with modern buildings. Only a few seaweed houses have been preserved in our village. Now most of them live in old people, and young people prefer bungalows. Seaweed house has many advantages, simple and elegant, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for human habitation. From the mouth of the old people, I feel their unique feelings for the seaweed house, while those young people only know its existence and know little about its history.
There is a celebrity who has a soft spot for seaweed houses. Wu Guanzhong described the seagrass house like this: the soft grass texture blends with the hard stone, making the roof slightly curved. Some people put waste fishing nets on the top of the grass, just like a woman's hair net, but it also adds a little beauty. A glance at the Fisherman's Courtyard will immediately give you a sense of stability. Large stones are made into rough walls, and the walls are rounded with squares when choosing materials. Triangular gables draw rich geometric changes in the overall tone of the square yard, which shoulders the thick grass roof covering the roof. Wu Guanzhong vividly described the appearance of seaweed house with beautiful words, full of infinite yearning. The seaweed house is not gorgeous or noble, but if you see its true face with your own eyes, you will be moved by its quaint appearance, which embodies the hard work and simplicity of people at that time.
With the progress and development of the times, the popularity of seaweed house has gradually increased. Many people come here to visit seaweed house and want to try what kind of experience it is to live in seaweed house. However, in recent years, the situation of seaweed houses is worrying. With more and more offshore aquaculture, the number of seaweed is getting less and less, it is almost impossible to salvage enough seaweed to build a seaweed house, and people are increasingly reluctant to spend energy to build it, so the moderns of seaweed houses has passed.
The protection of seagrass houses is also a problem that attracts attention and needs to be solved urgently. There are several seagrass houses scattered in our village, most of which are in disrepair, and the brigade will not rebuild or strengthen them specially. I think the seagrass house is a unique building in the memory of several generations, and it should be protected. However, it is necessary to properly publicize and protect the only seaweed house to the villagers, and the brigade should also allocate some funds for the construction of seaweed houses. Each of us should shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting seagrass houses so that they will not be submerged in the long river of history.
Investigation Report on Hometown Culture 4 I. Purpose of the investigation
Our Rizhao green tea is particularly famous, known as "the first tea in Jiangbei". Rizhao green tea has unique quality and taste, and many people like Rizhao green tea. Also because my parents like to drink Rizhao green tea very much, they drink Kung Fu tea at home every day. Influenced by them, I also began to drink tea.

2. Collect information online.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) investigation process
1, historical origins When Rizhao began to grow tea, it is impossible to verify. It is said that there is an ancient tea tree on the top of the mountain in the north of Rizhao. Because it was born on a cliff and unattainable. No one dares to climb the peak to pick it. Only picking up its leaves, or smashing them with stones and taking them with boiling water can not only improve eyesight and refresh, but also cure abdominal pain, which has a miraculous effect.
2, the production process The production process of Rizhao green tea is very complicated, including picking tea, spreading cold, deactivating enzymes, rolling, rolling and drying. Tea picking and spreading require fine and uniform size. Rain leaves, insect leaves, etc. Don't pick it and put it in a bamboo basket. Bagging is prohibited to prevent fresh leaves from turning red and boring. Shake it loose after entering the factory and spread it for 3-4 hours. When fresh leaves begin to give off fragrance, they will be processed. Water-removing machine or manual water-removing is adopted to make the leaves lose water by 35% ~ 37%, and then the leaves are spread and cooled. The dough kneading machine is used for kneading dough for 3-5 minutes without pressure. If the kneading time is too long, the tea juice will overflow easily, which will affect the color and fineness. Kneading dough and lifting hair is a technical job, which is adjusted according to the experience of skilled workers. While kneading the dough, release the dough, cool, curl the dough until the hair is exposed, and dry it to 80%. The last step is drying, which is to shake the hem with a dryer until it is dry and dry until the water content is 6%.
3, quality characteristics Rizhao green tea soup is bright yellow-green, chestnut fragrance is rich, sweet aftertaste, thick leaves, high aroma, resistant to brewing. The unique sunshine and natural conditions make tea trees rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements necessary for human body. Experts say that the nutritional value of Rizhao green tea is higher than other similar products. Green tea is not only a healthy drink, but also has a good health care function. Drinking green tea regularly can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, refresh the stomach, reduce blood pressure and diuresis, promote digestion and sober up, prevent cancer and radiation, lose weight and beautify, and prolong life. Computer people drink some green tea every day, which can prevent computer radiation and is good for the skin. Rizhao green tea is divided into spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea. Spring tea is the best of green tea, especially the first batch picked in spring, which is very expensive. Rizhao Green Tea was listed as a geographical indication brand in Shandong Province, and six green tea brands, including Shenggushan, Qing Xue, Fulaiqing, Bibo, Guangxu and Juguocui, were awarded the title of geographical indication products and allowed to use special signs.
