Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival has quietly arrived.
Spring Festival is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, each place has its own local cultural customs, so the annual customs are also different, with the progress of the times, economic development, although the "New Year's taste" is not as strong as before, but some of the traditional Annual customs still exist.
Let me talk about the three big new year customs in our hometown.
最美的祝福：贴春联
In our south, every household will be posted with the Spring Festival before the New Year, which means a new year, a new beginning, a new year and a new atmosphere.
In fact, the posting of spring union is very exquisite.
First of all, the left and right links must not be posted wrongly, otherwise it will become a big joke, to distinguish between the upper and lower links, the key is to look at the last word, according to the rules of the grid, the last word of the upper link must be the end of the slang word (three sounds, four sounds), and the lower link is the end of the flat sound word (one sound, two sounds). The distinction between left and right is to face the gate, the upper link is pasted on the right, the lower link is pasted on the left, and the couplet is read from right to left.
Secondly, we must pay attention to the time of pasting the Spring League, there is a myth and legend in the folk, the Spring League is a god sent by the heavens, after tearing the Spring League, it will rise to the heavenly court, to report to the Jade Emperor Tianzun the situation of every household, hoping that the gods can bring good luck to each family.
The time of pasting the Spring League is best Chinese New Year's Eve between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. in the middle age, tear the old Spring League and replace it with a new Spring League, which has the meaning of removing the old cloth and new.
Finally, paste the Spring League at the gate, to paste the singular, singular is auspicious, symbolizing auspicious wishes! There is also no single posting of the word "spring" at the door of the home, because in ancient times, only yihong courtyard posted the word "spring". But you can paste "fu", "fortune into treasure" and so on.
After pasting the Spring Festival, the whole family began to "Chinese New Year's Eve rice".
最丰盛的晚餐：年夜饭
Chinese's Chinese New Year's Eve meal is a family reunion meal, and this dinner is a precious dinner for every family. The old man looks at the children and grandchildren, the family is happy and harmonious, and it is worth paying no more. The younger generation can also take this opportunity to express gratitude and nurturing grace to their parents.
Our traditional Chinese New Year's Eve rice in the south is eaten after the ancestors are Chinese New Year's Eve worship.
First of all, we put ten or twelve auspicious dishes on the table, the dishes are even numbers, not singular, and even numbers represent good things in pairs, good luck. "Ten" represents the perfection of the ten perfections, "twelve" represents the moon and the moon, the table generally has chicken (meaning there is a plan), fish (every year there is more), tangyuan (reunion), lamb (foreign wealth), chicken feet (money grabbers), hot pot (red fire), fried celery flower branches (icing on the cake), egg yolk rolls (auspicious and rich), lotus slice orange juice (eight parties to the wealth), qiao mixed scallops (family fun) and so on, not all examples.
The second is to light incense and start to worship the ancestors, the ancestor worship is that each family member lights the three pillars of incense in front of the ancestors to say some of their own New Year's wishes, praying that the ancestors will bless themselves to fulfill their wishes. Let's not say whether there is really a god blessing, but this is indeed the deep remembrance and gratitude of the younger generations to the ancestors. Let the younger generation always remember where their roots are.
Finally, everyone gathered at a table, opened to eat, while eating and chatting, talking about their summary of the past year, the wishes of the new year, on the table of Chinese New Year's Eve rice, we saw the family's mutual respect and mutual love, their happiness and harmony, eating is joy, tasting is family affection, in the wisps of rice we smell the taste of happy home, the taste of the year.
After eating the New Year's dinner, everyone opened the New Year mode and waited for the start of the Spring Festival Gala.
最温暖的熬夜：除夕守岁
In our hometown, it is a moral to Chinese New Year's Eve to stay up all night at night, one is to look forward to the safety and prosperity of your family in the new year. The second is to drive away the disease and the family can be healthy and healthy.
In addition, Chinese New Year's Eve this day, everyone sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, feeling the new atmosphere of the country, prosperity and strength, and Guotai Min'an. When the New Year's bell rings at 0 o'clock, every household begins to set off firecrackers, feeling the strong new year's flavor, and now fireworks are not allowed in the city, and it seems that there is a little less of the new year's taste, what do you think?
There are also elders who are ready to press the children's money on the Chinese New Year's Eve night, along with New Year's wishes and wishes.
In fact, Chinese New Year's Eve keeping the age is of a history, legend has it that in ancient times there was a small monster called "Qi", every year Chinese New Year's Eve night, it has to go to the human world to harm people, specially touch the brain door of sleeping children, all the children who have been touched by "Qi" will get sick and have a high fever, talk nonsense, and after ten days of fever, the child will become a demented fool.
Therefore, every day when it comes to Chinese New Year's Eve, every household lights up all night, afraid of "匀" to hurt children, so adults do not let children sleep, which is the so-called "Shou Qi", because the word "祟" is a bit obscure, and because "祟" and "age" are harmonious, over time it has become "Shou Nian".
In fact, the all-night lamp has another layer of meaning, indicating that the coming year is booming and the family is thriving!
