#今天腊月初一 #
Today is the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.
Lunar December, why is it called the Waxing Moon? It turns out that since ancient times, our country has the custom of entering the twelfth month of the lunar calendar to dry the wax flavor, so this month is also called the wax moon.
Entering the Waxing Moon, it is only a month before the Spring Festival, and many things and things that need to be prepared for the New Year have begun to be prepared.
Pickled garlic on this day will be green and not spicy
For example, the eighth day of the first lunar month is the day of pickling lapa garlic, this day the garlic cloves are peeled and put into a sealed jar, poured into the rice vinegar soaked, to the first day of the New Year garlic cloves are pickled turquoise, garlic spicy taste is gone, with the New Year's Day morning dumplings to eat, not to mention how delicious.
The twenty-third day of the waxing moon is the day of the sacrifice of the stove, that is, the worship of the king of the stove. On this day, to burn incense, please ask the stove king who has guarded the peace of the stove fire for a year to restore his life to heaven, ask the stove king to "say good things to heaven", and then "ensure peace in the netherworld" in the next year.
The King of Stove returned to heaven and returned to his destiny
So, do you know what a special day is on the first day of the first lunar month? In fact, this day is the "filial piety day" of the folk commemoration of Shun, and many people may not have heard of it.
Legend has it that Shun's father and stepmother were particularly bad to him, and often scolded him, let him do heavy work, slept in thatched huts, and often did not give Shun food to eat, and when he saw Shun, he reprimanded and scolded shun.
On the contrary, the two were very good to their stepmother's son and daughter, and the good food and clothes in the family were all done to them, and they were smiling and greeting them every day.
Parents and siblings are peaceful and happy
But Shun has never confronted his parents, never complained when he was harshly reprimanded, and has always worked diligently, honoring his parents and loving his younger siblings.
One day, Shun was crying in the sky while hoeing the ground, and everyone else thought that Shun was sad because of the abuse of his parents, and they all advised him.
But Shun said: I am not crying because of myself, I am ashamed to think that I cannot make my parents laugh.
Overnight in a thatched hut
Later, Shun's filial piety touched the heavens, sending elephants to help him cultivate the land and birds to help him sow seeds.
In order to commemorate the Shun of the Great Filial Piety, the people intend to set the first day of the first lunar month as the anniversary of Shun, but the first day of the first lunar month has been determined to be used exclusively to commemorate Yao, so the first day of the waxing moon must be the anniversary of Shun.
On the first day of the first lunar month, let us learn the Great Filial Piety Heavenly Shun together, and put the filial piety of the first of the Hundred Virtues into action.
Filial piety comes first
You can give your parents a hug, you can wash your parents' feet, comb your hair once, and cook a delicious meal for your parents...
There are many forms of filial piety, no matter which one it is, as long as the heart is there.
Let's come together.
