福北方的小年是腊月二十三。小年一过,家家忙着写对子,买红纸,买粗狼毫毛笔,买大块的墨,红纸一条条地裁好,摊了满屋满地。我三四岁,那么小的年纪,还不大认字,但就仿佛能认得似的,也在门框下装腔作势地仰头看那些对子。家里所有的门上都是有对子的。有对称的,一边贴一联。有只有一个长幅的,我不明白那是为什么。我的爷爷,他过年写对联,也不知是自撰,还是他撰,他写:宜入新年年年进钱钱多必富富贵相连连生贵子子孝孙贤贤良有德得中状元大吉大利。至于花开富贵,竹报平安;春回大地,万象更新;紫气东来,大瑞满堂;这些是年年要写一遍的。 Fu is a small north of the twelfth lunar month twenty-three. Small once, every family is busy writing pairs, buy red paper, buy rough wolf brush, buy large pieces of ink, red paper one by one cut, spread all over the house. I am three or four years old, so young, not too old, but as if recognized, but also under the door frame looking up at those pairs of children. All doors in the house are right. Symmetrical, while a paste. There is only one long, I do not understand why that is. My grandfather, he wrote New Year couplets, I do not know is self-written, or his essay, he wrote: should be entered into the New Year every year into the rich and the rich, . As for the rich flowers, bamboo reported peace; spring back to earth, Vientiane update; Purple East, Darussoud Hall; these are to be written again.
