猪蹄儿灯
小时候过年,最大的乐趣莫过于三十晚上点燃“猪蹄儿灯”。
那是一种自制的灯盏,点燃以后,高举过头,就像一支小小的火把。
其实,玩猪蹄儿灯,最大的乐趣,还缘于它的制作过程。
早在腊月二十几,不少人家就开始宰猪了。我们小孩子家对于宰猪吃肉,当然有兴趣,但也早就巴望着得到那尖尖的猪蹄儿壳,觊觎着一小块猪油,好用来做一盏猪蹄儿灯。
被宰了的大肥猪,浸在热汤里,刮去了鬃毛,白白胖胖地躺在案板上,它的四只尖尖的小猪蹄儿翘得高高的。
我们拿一根长长的钉子,用钉子帽儿用力一勾,就把猪蹄儿壳勾了下来。大人们很慷慨,尽管你去勾,反正对他们来说也没用。
但是,想要一块猪油可就难了。没有猪油是万万做不成猪蹄儿灯的。所以,我们总是死乞白赖地讨猪油。而他们又总是说,这样一块猪油,够炒一个菜的了。
我们说,宁肯少吃一个菜,也愿得到一块猪油。
快过年了,大人们也不愿拂了孩子们的面子,所以最后总是能满足我们的要求,割下一块猪油送给我们。
有了猪油,再去找妈妈要一根棉捻儿,裹在猪油里,塞进猪蹄儿壳里,一盏灯就算做成了。
最后一道工序简单多了,找一根高粱秆儿,劈开一端,把猪蹄儿灯夹紧,就算大功告成。
到了三十晚上,把猪蹄儿灯点着,互相招呼着,一齐走到街上来。
街上已有好多孩子提着各式各样的灯笼出来了。他们的灯只能提着,低低地照着脚下一小片土地;我们的猪蹄儿灯却总能举过头顶,照得很高很远。
最值得骄傲的是,我们的灯是自己做的。
抽陀螺
“杨柳活,抽陀螺。”
这是我童年时学过的一首童谣中的两句,说的是初春时节,孩子们常玩的一种游戏。
陀螺,是一种很简单的玩具,小孩子自己都可以制作。找一块木头,削成一寸多高,直径也一寸多的圆柱形,再把下端削尖,尖端安一粒滚珠,陀螺就算做成了;再做一根鞭子,就可以玩儿起来。
玩的时候,先得从鞭梢缠起,缠住陀螺的腰身。直放在地上,用手指按住陀螺顶端,用力一拉鞭绳,陀螺就在地上转起来,再用鞭子不断抽打,越抽转得越快。
为了让陀螺转得更快,我们常到冰上去玩儿。鞭梢儿噼啪噼啪响,陀螺滴溜滴溜转。尽管天寒地冻,谁也不觉得冷。
在我的印象中,抽陀螺的游戏似乎只限于男孩子玩儿。现在想起来,大约是因为这种游戏刺激性较强,你必须一下一下地去抽打,它才转;稍一怠慢,它就会停转歪倒。
抽陀螺,还很有进攻性。几个人一起在冰上抽打,常常是扬鞭猛抽一下,让自己的陀螺以极快的转速去撞击别人的陀螺,以把别人的撞倒为赢。
给我印象最深的是1945年抗战胜利后,不知是谁,把“抽陀螺”改叫“抽汉奸”。这个新名称,很快就被大家认可。一说起“抽汉奸”,我们的鞭子抽得更响、更有力,把那些投敌卖国者视作陀螺,一鞭一鞭抽得它在冰上团团转,很是解气。
有时候,大人们在一旁看着,也会走上前来,和我们一起抽它几鞭子。
兔儿爷
小白兔向来是儿童的宠物,雪白的绒毛,通红的眼睛,尤其是温顺的性格,让我们格外爱怜。
每年中秋节,市面上除了卖月饼、水果、干果外,最引起我们孩子家兴趣的,就数泥塑兔儿爷了。
本是兔儿,偏又以“爷”相称,在别的动物中,绝无这种殊荣。“爷”字向来是与长辈、与威严连在一起的。在人间不说,单就诸神而论,我小时候就知道有“灶王爷”、“土地爷”、“财神爷”,对这些“爷”们,须格外敬畏,以免招灾惹祸。
这兔儿爷,虽然也算得上广寒宫里的“神兔”,即使称为“爷”,我们也并不惧怕它;相反,都觉得这兔儿爷和我们最平等,最亲近。每年的中秋节,都愿意“请”一尊兔儿爷来和我们玩耍。它带给我们的快乐,是别的玩具所不能代替的。
对兔儿爷的喜爱,除了缘于对生活中真实小白兔的温情之外,还由于兔儿爷多了几分童话色彩。
兔儿爷的外貌就很奇特,兔脸儿,人身子,那样子格外引人遐想。
那时候,每逢买来一个兔儿爷,总是沉甸甸地抱在怀里,和它脸对脸地对视好久。兔儿爷的眼睛瞪得圆圆的,
兔儿爷的穿着打扮也很奇特,有的穿着大红袍,有的披着甲胄,有的背插令旗,样子很威武。
兔儿爷可不是卧在那儿,而是骑着老虎,或者狮子,或者麒麟,好像随时准备出征,无往而不胜。
在我买到的众多的兔儿爷中,我最喜欢的是一种叫“刮打刮打嘴”的兔儿爷。这种兔儿爷嘴唇会动,一动就发出“刮打刮打”的响声。原来有一根线连着嘴唇,从中空的体内伸到脚下,用手一拽,嘴巴一张一合,发出声响。
说起兔儿爷,本是中秋祭月的象征;以兔代月,又是源于兔居月中捣药的神话。妇女拜月,供的是“月光码儿”;我们儿童仿效妇女,供的是兔儿爷。对我们这些孩子来说,拜月是游戏,兔儿爷就成了我们的玩具了。
小时候,年年中秋节都要买一个兔儿爷。开始年龄小,买个二三寸高的,随着年龄增长,买的兔儿爷也越来越大,我买过的兔儿爷,最大的有身高一尺的。
兔儿爷最大的有二三尺高。这么高的,我没买过,一来抱不动,二来也没地方摆。
已经好多年没见过兔儿爷了;如果现在有卖兔儿爷的,我一定买一个大个儿的。

Pig's trotters son lamp
When have the Spring Festival, the greatest joy is the thirty night light "Trotter".
It is a homemade lamp, light, high above his head, like a small torch.
In fact, playing pig son lamp, the greatest pleasure, but also because of its production process.
Early in December 20, many people began to kill a pig.Our children to kill a pig meat, of course, are interested, but also had to get the sharp trotters son shell, eyeing a small lard, good to do a pig son lamp.
A slaughtered pig, dip in the hot soup, scrape off the mane, fat lies on the table, all four of its sharp pig hoofs up HISTEP high.
We take a long nails, nail cap with a hook, the Trotters son shell hook down.The people are very generous, though you to hook, but for them also useless.
But, want a lard can be difficult.No lard is absolutely do not a pig son lamp.Therefore, we always pester for lard.And they always said, such a piece of lard, enough to cook a dish.
We say, would rather eat a dish, also would like to get a piece of lard.
Soon have the Spring Festival, people also do not want to brush up the children face, so finally is able to fulfill our requirements, cut a piece of lard to us.
With lard, look for a mother to a cotton twist, wrapped in lard, pig son into the shell, a lamp even made the.
Finally a process more simple, find a sorghum stalk, split end, the Trotters son lamp clamp, even if be accomplished.
The thirty night, the Trotters son lamps are lit, greeting each other, all the way to the street.
The street has many children to carry out every kind of lanterns.They lights can only carry low, according to a small piece of land at the foot of the pig's lamp; we are always above his head, as very high and very far away.
Is most proud of is, the lamp is doing its own.
Spinning top
"Willow live, spinning top."
This is my childhood learned a song in the two sentences, said that the spring season, the children often play a game.
Gyro, is a very simple toys, children themselves can be produced.Look for a piece of wood, cut into one inch high, diameter is also another inch cylinder, the lower end of a sharpened tip, balls, gyro even made the; to do a whip, you can play with.
When playing, first from whiplash bound entangled in the waist, gyro.Straight on the ground, pressed by a finger tip pull rope whip gyro, gyro, it turns on the ground, then whip to beat faster, more spin.
In order to let the gyroscope to rotate faster, we often go to the ice.Whiplash was crackling crackling sound, gyro drip drip.Although very cold, who also do not feel cold.
In my impression, spinning top game appears to be confined to the boys.Up to now, about this game is because a strong irritant, you must be about to whip, it turns slightly; a slight, it would stop to fall.
Spinning top, also very offensive.Several people together in the ice beat, often with a whip, so that their top with great speed to impact others gyroscope, to put others down to win.
What impressed me most was 1945 after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, whoever it was, "spinning top" changed their name to "draw the traitors".The new name, soon recognized you.Speak of "pumping traitors", our whip louder, more force, put those to defect to the enemy and traitor as gyro, a whip whip it on ice run round in circles, it is gas.
Sometimes, people looked on, can come forth, and together we smoked it few whip.
Rabbit doll
The small white rabbit is always a children's pet, white hair, red eyes, especially gentle character, let us be love.
The Mid-Autumn Festival every year, on the market in addition to selling cakes, fruits, dried fruits, most caused our children family interest, on a number of clay sculpture rabbit doll.
This is a rabbit, but to "God" match, in other animal, no such honor.The word "God" is always with the elders, and majesty together.In the world does not say, just in terms of the gods, when I was young I know "the kitchen god", "land God", "God of wealth", the "God", must be very fear, lest the court disaster.
This rabbit doll, although be in the Moon Palace "God rabbit", even referred to as "God", we are not afraid of it; on the contrary, feel this rabbit doll and the equality, the closest.The annual Mid-Autumn Festival, is willing to "please" a rabbit doll and we play.It brings us happiness, is not a substitute for the other toys.
The rabbit doll's favorite, but due to the real life of the rabbit's warmth, but also because God sleeps a little more fairy tale color.
God sleeps appearance is very peculiar, rabbit face, human body, it is curious.
At that time, every buys a rabbit doll, always heavy in your arms, and it face to face to see for a long time.God sleeps the wide-eyed,
Rabbit doll dress is also very strange, some wearing a robe, some dressed in armor, some of dorsal intercalated Lingqi, looks mighty.
God sleeps not lying there, but riding the tiger, or a lion, or kylin, seemed ready to battle, invincible.
I bought many rabbit doll, I like most is called a "scraping playing scraping mouth" the rabbit doll.This rabbit doll lips move, move on the issue of "scraping playing scraping playing".Originally a line attached to the lips, from the hollow body extends to the foot, with a hand pulling, one of a mouth, sound.
Speaking of rabbit doll, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival symbol; with rabbit generation, and is derived from the rabbit in the middle being myth.Worship for women, the "Moonlight code"; our children imitate women, for the rabbit doll.For those of us children, or game, rabbit doll is a toy.
When I was young, every year the Mid-Autumn Festival will buy a rabbit doll.Age to start small, buy a two or three inches high, along with the age growth, buy the rabbit doll is also growing, I bought the rabbit doll, have the largest height ruler.
God sleeps maximum is two or three feet tall.So high, I haven't bought, to carry, and no place to put.
Has for many years had not seen God sleeps; if there are now selling rabbit doll, I will buy a big one.
