□肖复兴 我一直很奇怪，饺子和包子都是包馅，为什么包子是圆形，而饺子是半月形？小时候，全家一起包饺 子，我和弟弟凑热闹，一个擀皮，一个递皮，曾经问过自以为什么都知道的父亲。他答不上来。一直到 六十多年过去，读到我的中学同学王仁兴写的《谷食中国》，才明白，饺子的半月形缘于古人对日月星 辰的崇拜。 小时候，我更愿意参与剪窗花，觉得比包饺子好玩。买年画和门神，得要钱；写春联，得会写毛笔字。 剪窗花，不要钱，不用写毛笔字，也不需要多高深的手艺，只要有一张红纸，红纸也不用去现买，只要 我们手工课用剩下的电光纸即可。我跟着姐姐一起，把纸对角折叠起来，叠几折，用剪刀随便一剪，剪 不出姐姐那样喜鹊登枝之类的图案，也能够剪出个花样来，将纸抖搂开来那一瞬间，像是变戏法一样， 大家都会格外兴奋。即使看起来"四不像"，但有红纸一衬，镂空的图案，被光打过来，闪闪发亮，也像 是奇异的花开一般，透着几分喜兴，更何况，是自己亲手剪出来的呢。窗花、窗花，这个名字起得真 好，即将到来的春天，是盛开的所有花朵里，都没有的一种花呢。 窗花，和饺子一样，在我国也有很长的历史，早在南北朝就有，起码有着一千四百多年的历史。如今， 在新疆古墓中就出现过用麻 ...
