In the traditional year, although it is the first day of the lunar calendar, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, people begin the first task of welcoming the new year - sweeping. Now, people are less and less willing to clean up. Because the big and small items in the house must be moved out and then the room cleaned. Unexpectedly, this sweeping has the meaning of sweeping away bad luck, bad luck and welcoming the new year. After the general cleaning, you can prepare delicious food on the 25th to 29th of December. Among the foods, steamed bread is the most exquisite. There is no limit on the number of steamed buns and bean buns for dim sum. There is a limit on the number of jujube flowers and steamed buns. There are also two large pasta dishes, two hedgehogs and one noodle jujube flower.
On the New Year's Eve, there is a special custom, It is called "invite the grave". In the morning, people paste couplets, prepare yellow rice husk, tin foil, jujube flowers, firecrackers, and lime. After eating dumplings, they will invite the grave. People will put the prepared things (except lime) into a basket, and go to the ancestors' grave to worship. According to the old generation's words, "invite the soul of the old man to the home ". When I got home, I used lime to make a semicircle at the main entrance, the door and the window sill, sometimes with various decorations. Every year when my grandfather sprinkled lime, I watched and sometimes sprinkled two handfuls of lime. The traditional shape of the lime circle is a semicircle with three ancient weapons inserted on it, and the middle one is the most exquisite. However, the shape has been handed down from generation to generation, and other styles have also developed.
The first day of the New Year is the day that people are looking forward to. Children can play at will after the New Year. There are two versions of the legend that I know: one is that an old man with white beard saw through the red, candlelight and firecrackers; Second, there was a child. A small bag wrapped in red paper was placed under the pillow. There were several copper coins in it. Although these are only legends, it has become a custom to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the characters of "Red Happiness", "Shou Sui" and set off firecrackers.
According to my family's rules, I worship my grandmother on the second day of the year, my aunt on the third day, my uncle on the fourth day, and my aunt on the fifth day. On the fifth day of the first day of the year, people usually worship their relatives. This day is commonly known as "the fifth day". According to the custom, you can't cut things with scissors on this day.
At this point, the busy festival of "New Year" is over. These experiences are the Spring Festival I spent in my hometown. I don't know the difference between the city's Spring Festival and home. But it must also be so happy, warm and happy.
There is a saying in Chinese folk that "open the door for firecrackers". That is, at the beginning of the new year, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers beeps to eliminate the old and welcome the new. Firecrackers are Chinese specialties, also known as "firecracker", "firecracker" and "firecracker". Its origin is very early and has a history of more than 2000 years. Setting off firecrackers can create a festive and lively atmosphere. It is a kind of festival entertainment that can bring happiness and good luck to people. On the first day of the New Year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress up neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and pay New Year greetings to each other, wishing good luck in the coming year. There are various ways to pay New Year's greetings, some of which are the same clan leader leading several people to pay New Year's greetings door to door; Some colleagues invited several people to pay New Year's greetings; There are also people who get together to congratulate each other, called "group worship". At night, there are only people in my family. Before watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was the time I most expected: to collect New Year's money. Congratulations to Facai, bring me the red envelope! One uncle, one grandpa, one grandmother... I came home with a full load and a dozen big red envelopes in my hands. During the Spring Festival, the younger generation should first pay a New Year's greetings to the elders to wish them a long and healthy life. The elders can distribute the prepared New Year's money to the younger generation. It is said that the New Year's money can suppress evil spirits, because "Sui" and "Sui" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely after receiving the New Year's money. There are two kinds of New Year's money. One is to weave a dragon shape with colored rope and thread, and place it at the foot of the bed. This record can be found in Yanjing Suishiji; The other is the most common, that is, the money that parents give to children by wrapping it in red paper. New Year's money can be given in public after the younger generation pays New Year's greetings, or parents can secretly put it under the child's pillow when the child falls asleep on New Year's Eve. Paste the word "Fu" upside down.
While pasting Spring Festival couplets, some families need to paste large and small "Fu" on the door, wall and lintel. It is a long-standing custom in China to paste the word "Fu" on the Spring Festival. The word "Fu" refers to good luck and good luck. It expresses people's yearning for a happy life and wishes for a better future. In order to fully reflect this yearning and wish, some people simply paste the word "happiness" upside down, indicating that "happiness has arrived" and "luck has arrived".
It turns out that a long time ago, there was a monster named Nian who climbed ashore to eat innocent people on New Year's Eve. Therefore, before the arrival of New Year's Eve, people go to other places to avoid the attack of "Nian".
One year, an old man came to the village, and an old woman saw that he was so poor, so she gave him some food and said, "Old man, go to hide somewhere else, or Nian will eat you." The old man said, "As long as you let me stay here for one night, I will help you drive Nian away." In this way, the old woman left the old man.
At night, bursts of roaring came from afar. "Ah! Ah!" said the old woman, "Old man, 'New Year' is coming, what shall we do?" The old man said slowly, "Don't worry, look at me." The old man said, and asked the old woman to cook. Immediately, the kitchen made a crackling sound, which spread to Nian's ears, and Nian was afraid. Nian looked back and saw the fire in the kitchen and heard the old man's laughter. He was so scared that he fled back to the mountain. At this time, the old woman knew that "I am afraid of noise, fire and red color".
Since then, Chinese families have to set off firecrackers, paste red paper and cook delicious food during the Spring Festival.
Sticking red paper is too monotonous. Someone will draw something and write something on the red paper. Slowly, everyone wrote a variety of heartfelt words on the red paper, wishing everyone peace and health, and gradually formed the current couplet.
Suzhou people put cooked water chestnut in their rice on New Year's Eve, and dig it out when eating, which is called digging the treasure. When friends and relatives come and go, they should put two green olives into their tea, which is called drinking Yuanbao tea. Congratulations on getting rich.
On the morning of the New Year's Day of Wujin people, the portrait of their ancestors was hung in the nave, and then the tea fruits and rice cakes were offered. Then the whole family saluted the New Year in turn, and then called the shadow of worship. They are not allowed to sweep the floor from inside to outside, for fear that they will sweep the wealth and luck out, they can only sweep from outside to inside.
Jiangning people have the custom of playing magic drums during the Spring Festival. The big flag leads the way. The gongs and drums players beat the drums hard to cheer up. The night drums are played on the third day of the year, the seven drums are played on the seventh day of the year, and the shirtless drums are played from the thirteenth to the fifteenth day. The atmosphere is warm.
Nantong people have the custom of planting sesame stalks, holly and cypress in front of their home or in front of the hall, which means that life is blossoming and green all the year round.
Huaiyin people also have the custom of baking hair for children on the sixth day of the year. It is the night to take the child to the open field and light the torch to drive away the disease for the child, and then sing while baking: roast the head, wake up the brain, roast the feet, step right, roast the belly without laxity, roast all over the body, and never see the disease.
At the beginning of the year, Wuxi fishermen had the habit of taking a boat to the West Mountain to worship the Yuwang Temple, praying for the blessing of the god of water and offering sacrifices to Aodanfo?, After the removal of the Yuwang Temple, the custom gradually faded.
During the Spring Festival, there are still many taboos in the old customs in Jiangsu, such as not moving scissors on the first day of the New Year to avoid quarrels; Don't use the kitchen knife to avoid personal injury; Don't eat porridge for fear of going out in rain; If you don't sweep the floor, you are afraid to sweep away all your wealth. With the popularization of scientific knowledge, many unscientific customs are gradually forgotten; Healthy and beneficial recreational activities have always been continued.
The Spring Festival here begins in early December. "La 7 La 8, frozen to death jackdaw." This is the coldest time of the year. On the day of La 8, every family cooks La 8 porridge. Why cook porridge? Because people want to have a good harvest next year.
The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the sacrificial kitchen. As soon as it was dark: the sound of firecrackers sounded from all directions, and there was the smell of the New Year. On this day, we not only have to set off the fire, but also eat the sacrificial candy. We usually eat sesame candy, which is a kind of maltose covered with sesame seeds and tastes sweet and sticky.
After the 23rd, everyone has to clean up and have the New Year goods ready. The New Year's Eve is the busiest day, with a festive atmosphere everywhere. Every family has pasted red Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures. In the evening, families are busy preparing reunion dinner, and children also send dumplings to their elders. Adults should give New Year's money to children; At this time, firecrackers sounded in every family, and then everyone gathered to eat reunion dinner. After dinner, some people watched the Spring Festival Gala; Some played cards all night; In addition, we have to be punctual. We can't sleep at twelve o'clock. At twelve o'clock, the new year began again, and there was a deafening sound of firecrackers. On the first day of the first lunar month, everyone was busy visiting relatives and paying New Year's greetings.
On the Lantern Festival, everyone is busy buying the Lantern Festival; The street is like a wedding, with lights and decorations everywhere. Some children go to the street to light fireworks; Some lanterns are really lively! You must eat Yuanxiao this day!
In the blink of an eye, the 19th Spring Festival will be over and everything will return to normal. It's time for students to go to school, and adults to do things as usual. So the Spring Festival ended.
