在我的家乡,每年每家每户的窗户上,总是有几抹耀眼的红色,那是精致美丽的窗花。那抹鲜艳的红色,象征的经久不衰的家乡风俗文化,正是我所热爱的。
In my hometown, every year on every household's window, there are always a few dazzling shades of red, which are exquisite and beautiful window decorations. That bright red, symbolizing the enduring customs and culture of my hometown, is exactly what I love.
记得小时候,每当春节将至,奶奶总是坐在桌前,手拿一把剪刀,一旁放着一沓显眼的红绒纸。细长的剪刀在纸上漫游舞蹈,随着纸屑的落下,不一会儿,一朵美丽的红花就在奶奶的手中绽放了。
I remember when I was a child, whenever the Spring Festival was approaching, my grandmother would sit at the table with a pair of scissors in her hand and a stack of conspicuous red velvet paper beside her. The slender scissors wandered and danced on the paper, and as the paper scraps fell, a beautiful red flower bloomed in Grandma's hand in no time.
望着奶奶干脆利落的动作,和那火红的纸张,我的身体不自觉的就坐在了奶奶的旁边,有模有样的学了起来。
Watching my grandmother's decisive movements and the fiery red paper, my body unconsciously sat next to her and began to learn with ease.
奶奶见我坐过来,笑呵呵的拿起铅笔头,一边指着给我看一边画出接下来要剪的样式,我还来不及看清楚呢,奶奶的剪子就上下翻飞,只是打个哈欠的功夫,一张生动形象的窗花就剪好了,那上面的喜鹊在梅花树间飞翔,小小的嘴巴仿佛在一张一合,中间是一个“春”字,这就是喜鹊登梅。
My grandmother saw me sitting over and smiled as she picked up the pencil tip, pointing it at me and drawing out the style to be cut next. Before I could see it clearly, my grandmother's scissors flew up and down, and with just a yawn, a vivid window decoration was cut. The magpies on top were flying among the plum blossom trees, and their small mouths seemed to be opening and closing. In the middle was a "spring" character, which was the magpie climbing the plum blossom.
我跟着一起剪,起初剪了一地的红纸屑,也没剪出个所以然。我竟然一直剪不好,便抱住奶奶的胳膊,朝奶奶撒娇,要她教我“秘诀”。在奶奶的指导下,我终于剪出了一个可爱的娃娃,抱着一条正在扑腾的鲤鱼,脸上笑嘻嘻的,一看就是个福娃。
I followed along and cut all the red paper scraps on the ground at first, but couldn't find any reason. I couldn't cut it properly all along, so I hugged my grandmother's arm and coquettishly asked her to teach me the "secret". Under my grandmother's guidance, I finally cut out a cute doll, holding a fluttering carp with a smiling face, which looks like a Fuwa.
在家乡,剪窗花有着丰富的寓意。比如,喜鹊登梅代表着喜庆美满;鱼跃龙门象征着步步高升;福字窗花则寓意着福气满满。这些寓意丰富了窗花的艺术价值,也使得剪窗花成为了一种富有教育意义的活动。每当我看到自己剪出的窗花被贴在窗户上,我都会心生自豪,因为那是我对家乡风俗文化的传承和发扬。
In my hometown, cutting window decorations has rich meanings. For example, magpies climbing plum blossoms represent joy and happiness; The fish leaping over the dragon gate symbolizes ascending step by step; The word 'fu' on window decorations symbolizes abundant blessings. These meanings enrich the artistic value of window decorations and make cutting window decorations a meaningful educational activity. Every time I see the window decorations I cut pasted on the window, I feel proud because it is my inheritance and promotion of the customs and culture of my hometown.
我热爱那精致的窗花,那抹鲜艳的红色,永远是我家乡风俗文化的美丽底色。
I love the exquisite window decorations and the bright red color, which will always be the beautiful background of my hometown's customs and culture.
