忆童年的中秋节| 月旦评:中秋
中秋有感而发,本文也算是参加 @rivalhw 大伟哥举办的月旦评主题名为中秋的活动~
又到了一年一度的中秋节,独在异乡为异客的我多少有些伤感,父亲虽然也在苏州,但由于他工作忙,我也没办法跟他像小时候那样一家人聚在一起吃饭。今天是阴天,晚上也看不到月亮了,越想越是凄凄惨惨戚戚。
Today is Chinese Traditional Mid-autumn Festival. I stay alone by myself. My father and I are in one same city, but he is so busy with his work that he doesn’t have time to stay with me. Loneliness makes me sad and makes me miss the Mid-autumn Festivals when I was a little girl at my hometown.
说到这不禁想起小时候过中秋那个热闹氛围。记得中秋节前后正值农忙时候,这个季节正是水稻丰收的季节,白天大人们忙他们的,到晚上一家人聚在一起,吃月饼赏月。中秋节又称追月节、玩月节、拜月节,可见赏月这件事在中秋是多么重要。那时候看着天上的月亮,总觉得月亮里面有棵树,那棵树根我家院子里的树长得特别像,我总觉得月亮里的神树就是我家院子里那棵树。树旁边还住着长袖飘飘的嫦娥和玉兔,每次望着月亮总有无限遐想。那时候的月饼里面有红丝绿丝瓜子仁还有冰糖,一年也只有中秋节才能吃上觉得特别稀罕。
除了吃月饼,我们家乡还有个特别的习俗,就是小孩子中秋这天晚上可以玩火把。玩火把这一习俗来源一个传说,很久很久之前有一恶神,每年在农历8月中旬,明月高悬,地里谷物即将成熟之时,他便到人间放火烧谷物。农民们没办法,后来有个人想出来一个方法:即在恶神还没来时,用谷物秸杆引燃,遍地是火海。恶神远见后,误以为凡间谷物已被火烧完,当年恶神未到凡间作恶。后每年此日(八月十五)农民都要燃烧谷物秸杆误导恶神,从此谷物未再损害。逐渐演变成点火把,以庆祝谷物丰收。也才有了我们家乡这个特别的民间习俗。火把一般用秸秆做的,后来高级一点也有用铁丝做的,长长的秸秆裹紧了稻草,或者铁丝末端扎棉花球之类,点燃起来就是火把了,小孩子拿着这个火把在手里挥舞,黑暗中远远地能看到路边或者田埂上很多的火团。一年有一次这么正大光明玩火的机会可是我们孩子们都期待的,可是我的父亲很少给我做火把,记忆中,每次都是羡慕那些男孩子可以大胆拿着火把跑来跑去,我在旁边眼巴巴地看着。
下面这张图就是小时候的玩的火把啦
已经很久没有在家乡过中秋了,很怀念那种温馨充满乐趣的中秋,写到这窗外的小孩子叫声让我从回忆里醒来,想起今天还没有吃月饼,待会去吃一个算是庆祝中秋了。
