B
Hi, I am Mia. I am a British girl. Now I am studying in Qingdao, Shandong Province. I like Chinese culture a lot.
This year I celebrated an unusual festival in my classmate Li Mei's home. It's the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival, or the Longtaitou Festival. The festival falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year. It shows the start of spring and farming. People celebrate the Longtaitou Festival in different ways. The most famous tradition is getting a haircut (理发). Some people think it can bring them good luck.
Li Mei treated me to some fried beans (炒豆) and pancakes. Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for them. During the meal, she mentioned some other special food for the festival. People in Suzhou enjoy chengyao cakes (撑腰糕). As an old saying goes, "If you eat chengyao cakes at the Longtaitou Festival, your waist won't hurt all year." More interestingly, some foods are named after the dragon body parts to mark (庆祝) the day. Wontons are the dragon's eyes (longyan), dumplings are the dragon's ears (long'er), noodles are the dragon's beard (longxu) and spring pancakes are the dragon's scales (longlin).
We spent a happy Longtaitou Festival together. Laughter and joy filled the whole house. To me, it was more than a festival. It was a lesson about Chinese culture.
