花灯节，是小镇一年下来最隆重的节日。每年的正月十五一过，各村就要开始准备活动的各项细节。灯节的负责人是各村组员轮流来做，我们老家话称“作头”，意思是领头的。 Lantern Festival is the most grand festival in the town. Every year, after the 15th day of the first month, every village begins to prepare the details of the activity. The person in charge of the Lantern Festival is the village members who take turns to do it. In our hometown, it is called "zuozhou", which means the leader. 首先，到每家每户去发灯钱，那是用来买纸、浆糊等。 First of all, go to every household to pay for the light, which is used to buy paper, paste, etc. 其次，就是领头的准备在当天晚上要祭佛的食物。领头的要在一张大约有10米长、6米宽的板上准备食物。必须要准备的是，各类剪纸，五谷各一碗，鲜花，必须是山上的花才可以，也是五盘；各类的糖果几十盘，这可以自由发挥，是最麻烦，需要有新意；再有就是需要猪头一只，这在活动完了以后，每家每户都可以分到一小块。 Secondly, it is the food that the leader prepares to sacrifice the Buddha that night. The leader should prepare food on a board about 10 meters long and 6 meters wide. What must be prepared is that all kinds of paper-cut, a bowl of grains and flowers must be the flowers on the mountain, which are also five dishes; dozens of sweets of all kinds can be used freely, which is the most troublesome and innovative; another is the need for a pig head, which can be divided into one small piece for each household after the activity. |
