濟南年俗

緹娜

中國人的“年”既神圣而又充滿歡樂，在傳承發(fā)展中承載了豐厚的歷史文化底蘊。豐富多彩的“年俗”是每一個中國人心目中難以磨滅的記憶，是辭舊迎新的“儀式感”，也是美好祝愿的具象化表達，傳承至今，仍充滿迷人的魅力。

所謂十里不同風(fēng)，百里不同俗。不同的地域，過年的風(fēng)俗也不盡相同。文化底蘊深厚的濟南，自然也有著自己的年俗。在濟南，一進臘月門，人們便開始籌劃過年事宜，謂之“忙年”。隨著過年時的喜慶氣氛充滿大街小巷，濟南特有的年俗也像一幅氣象萬千的民俗風(fēng)情畫漸次展開。

濟南人過年一般從“臘八”那天開始。從這天起，祭灶、掃塵、蒸饅頭、貼春聯(lián)、掛年畫、祀祖先、燃爆竹、守歲、拜年……各種年俗活動依次上演，表達著人們對于美好生活的祝愿與期許。

年年歲歲人相似、歲歲年年味不同。隨著時代的發(fā)展，各式各樣的過年方式不斷被解鎖。年俗也在變化，有的已經(jīng)消失，有的已經(jīng)演變。臘月二十三，過小年不再辭灶；守歲變成了大家圍坐在電視機前嗑著瓜子看春晚；電子拜年的方式流行起來，微信里更是“聲色”俱全；過年期間，各大商場照常營業(yè)，各個景區(qū)熱情迎客，喜迎市民游客購物、游玩；還有越來越多的市民選擇全家到外地旅游代替回家過年，圖的是清爽自在。

在時代的演變中，人們其實早已賦予了“年”新的內(nèi)核，但不論形式如何變化，闔家團圓、除舊迎新、祈禱平安的愿景是不變的?；蛟S這才是“年”的意義所在。
