About This Novel
In my childhood memories, only the Spring Festival at my grandpa's house is more like the Spring Festival. The first is the couplet, which is posted in red all over the room. My father likes to hold me in his arms while reciting. On the pillars in front of the door are: Three Yangs bring prosperity, and six years bring spring; on both sides of the door are: The sound of firecrackers expels the old year, and the curl of cigarettes welcomes the New Year; The more I recited the couplets, the longer they got longer. My grandpa smiled and pointed out, "Length is the key to knowledge." Grandpa read "The Beginning of Man" for three months. Next is the fire pit in the main room. The fire pit was built with mud bricks. Grandpa dug tree roots all winter long and built them into a high wall on the side of the house. The fire in the fire pit burned from New Year's Eve to the night of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Even if the weather is so hot that people can only wear single clothes, the fire will still not go out. There is a large clay pot simmering in the fire pit, and the water is often boiling so that the lid of the pot makes a fluttering sound.
