“冬至大如年,人间小团圆”,为了将传统文化与劳动教育更好的融合在一起,弘扬劳动精神,培养生活智慧,12月22日,我校以“冬至”这一传统节日为契机开展了一次“冬至包饺子”的劳动教育活动,让学生既能了解中国特色的饮食文化,也在实践中收获劳动的乐趣。
饺子的“前世今生”


饺子是中国传统美食,有2000多年的历史。传说东汉末年瘟疫盛行,名医张仲景眼见灾民们饥寒交迫的惨状,便将羊肉和祛寒药材一起熬制后捞出切碎,用面皮包成耳朵形状的“娇耳”,煮熟分给穷人们吃。人们吃后顿觉全身温暖,很多人耳朵的冻伤得到治愈。人们感怀张仲景的恩德,从此每逢冬至便模仿着做“娇耳”。因此有俗语道:“冬至不端饺子碗,冻掉耳朵没人管”。据文献记载,饺子风靡于唐宋,在明朝成为约定俗成的除夕美食,在清代发展至鼎盛时期。古代饺子的名称多种多样,如:角儿、水点心、扁食等。






现如今,饺子已被人们赋予了更多寓意。比如,“更岁交子”中,“交”与“饺”谐音,以此代表团圆如意。种种妙趣横生的寓意,使饺子成为了寄托美好心愿,融洽骨肉之情的食物,也成为了中华民族文化的明信片。


劳动过程


亲自动手包饺子的时光于一片欢声笑语中拉开了帷幕。老师先示范,同学们认真观看。开始了,有的擀皮,有的包饺子。看,大家左手托面皮,右手执筷,对折捏边,细细收口。同学们边包边彼此交流,学学别人的手法,精进自己的“工程”。经过老师和同学们的的合力劳动,一盘盘饺子“整装待发”啦!























劳动成果


饺子出锅啦!一个个胖乎乎的饺子包的有模有样,让人食欲大开。品尝着亲手煮的一碗热腾腾的饺子,真是既香甜又温暖。



劳动是幸福的开始,自己辛勤才能丰衣足食。今后,我校将继续坚持“五育”并举,推动劳动教育,丰富学生的劳动体验,培养吃苦耐劳、勤俭节约等良好品质,共同促进学生德智体美劳全面发展。
