Temple fair, like an ancient word, seems to have disappeared in my time and space for a long time. But the beautiful memories of visiting the temple fair seem to have emitted a unique light just yesterday.
When I was a child, I was always full of yearning and expectation for temple fairs. As soon as February begins, when the word "February 2 Temple Fair" begins to pop up frequently during chats, when the street where "February 2 Temple Fair" is located begins to become more restless than before, my heart begins to become restless.
I clearly remember that the temple fair was full of things that children liked - delicious, delicious, beautiful, fun: sugar people covered with thick sugar, so tempting; toys made by carpenters are so majestic; various colorful patterned kites are so pleasing... At this time, the children stopped a few steps, looked left and right, picked and picked up, and finally the longing eyes fell on the faces of their parents, and their persistent little hands held the adult's arms or sleeves...
I just don't know whether they were happy to finally get back to their favorite swords and guns, or returning empty-handed with tears.
I should belong to the former.
I forgot what year the wooden knife I bought at the temple fair, and it has not been damaged at all until now. Even though the time has been a bit long, when I hold it in my hand, I can still feel the joy and beauty of the temple fair that will spread... I still remember clearly the scene of buying this wooden knife. My elementary school is facing that street. After February, it seems that the street is getting a little restless. On February 2nd, a prosperous "new world" suddenly appeared in front of me, which caught me off guard, but it felt reasonable. The lively atmosphere permeated the streets and the school, and everyone was happily discussing interesting things and things at the temple fair. As soon as school comes, the children rush out and rush into this "new" street that has suddenly changed, wishing they can open their eyes wider than the earth. Look at this and that, it seems that I can keep walking like this and I will never get tired of it. Even if you don’t pay for it, you will be full of your eye and experience a different new fun.
On the way to the temple fair with my friends, I fell in love with this knife at a glance. Although the shape and color of this knife are not very outstanding in my aesthetic today, for me at that time, this knife was the best, most majestic, and as precious as the world's number one sword. During the next few days in school, I kept staring at the shop, fearing that it would suddenly disappear. Finally, I waited until Saturday and Sunday. After begging my parents, I took this "famous knife" into my pocket and played with it for several days with joy.
In my impression, this street will be lively for about seven days, and the atmosphere will gradually fade from light to climax and then to fade. When this street returns to its usual dullness, we know that this year's "tea fair" has ended, and the children's hearts are full of disappointment. In my heart at that time, the temple fair was like a traveler, destined to go far away and say goodbye to others; but one day it will return again.
But one year, the "February 2 Temple Fair" did not come again as scheduled, and never came again since then. On this street, the hustle and bustle, bustle and happiness that were gathering once a year disappeared from now on, and there was a big empty piece in my heart. But at the same time, our street has become cleaner and cleaner, traffic is no longer congested, and zebra crossings have been thoughtfully drawn in front of the school gate, traffic lights have been erected, and the whole street has become more and more beautiful and generous - this is a different scenery from the temple fair.
I think this must be the traveler who changed his clothes and came to the children in a new way. "February 2 Temple Fair" has never left, at least the happiness at the temple fair will still be remembered by children
