Lesson Transcript

過冬
有句老話——冬大過年。意思就是說，過冬比過年還要重要。我也不知道這句話的由來是甚麼，雖然在現在，這句話也不一定應驗，大多也是嘴上說說，但是可以從中看出冬至在廣東人的歷史地位有幾重要，我記得父輩的公司到了過冬這一天還都會特地放假，連小時候的學校也會提早放學，讓大家早早回家食飯團聚。
過冬的一般習俗同廣東人其它節日的習俗一樣，吃雞吃鴨，加菜團聚——一切都離不開吃。21號是冬至，也即是正式過冬。廣東人在這天都會拜神、拜祖先，晚上一家人吃個飯，雞、魚都少不了，有些還會飯後吃幾個湯圓。冬至的那頓飯很有意思，我媽媽說必須是很豐富，意味著來年的豐收，為新年做準備。從小在廣東人的圈子裡就覺得過冬很有氣氛，還有“過完冬至就過年”一說，其實說白了就是為過年做好準備的吧！
