Hang red lantern, bag boiled dumpling, dance dragon lion, put firecracker …… before people is busy busy hind, receive spring enjoy a life of comfort, busy extremely.

在我的老家徐州，过年的风俗还真是不少。挂红灯笼，包水饺，舞龙狮，放鞭炮……人们忙前忙后，接春纳福，忙得不亦乐乎。其中独具特色的就是写春联。

徐州的人们对中国传统文化——书法非常热爱和重视。村居委会规定：每家每户都要买红纸，自己写对联，然后全村进行比赛，评出一、二、三等奖。书法是我的强项，我想大展身手，就自告奋勇写春联。妈妈在一旁小声说道：“你不要小瞧村子里的人啊，这可是群英荟萃、卧虎藏龙的地方。”我听了妈妈的话，好奇心很快就被激发了，我想看看我的书法水平能在村子里排到第几名。

大年三十的早上，我们把笔墨纸砚摆放整齐，我按住纸，提起笔，蘸点墨，开始写第一个字“五”。“横”轻落笔，到三分之二处，按压毛笔，最后收笔。笔断意连，连到下面的“横折”，在折笔处立锋换面，保持中锋竖下来。我目不转睛地盯着毫端，毛笔走到哪儿，我的眼睛就跟到哪儿。“五”这个字很快就写好了。我抬起头，大家都向我投来赞许的目光，这是对我的鼓励和肯定。我又饱蘸墨水，一鼓作气写完上联“五湖四海皆春色”，下联“万水千山尽朝晖”。横批“万象更新”中的“新”比较难写，我认真琢磨着它的字形、笔画。左边高，右边低，左边窄，右边宽，回想老师上课讲的注意点，然后一气呵成，上联、下联、横批的书写都是那么完美流畅。大家看了我写的春联，不禁啧啧赞叹：“这幅春联如同行云流水，真是妙笔生花呀！”我听了大家的夸奖，心里比吃了蜜还要甜。
