Today
The twenty-third day of the lunar month,
Traditional festival - Little Year!
Say
Spring Festival is a carnival of Chinese,
So little years,
It's the excitement and busyness of the eve of the party:
"Sacrifice Stove" reviews the gains and losses of the past year,
"Sprinkle" to clean up the dust in the yard,
"Busy Year" looks forward to the arrival of the New Year...
After today,
The festive atmosphere of the New Year is like rice paper splashing ink,
Suddenly it spread out,
The streets and alleys are lit up,
The happiest day of the year is coming!
丨Xiaonian tradition 丨
The northern region is the 23rd day of the Waxing Moon, and in some southern regions is the 24th of the Waxing Moon, which is the traditional Chinese folk festival stove day, called "Little Year", also known as the Stove King Festival.
The small year also means that people begin to prepare new year goods, ready to live a clean and clean new year, indicating that the new year should have a new atmosphere, expressing the chinese working people's good wish to resign the old and welcome the new, welcome the good fortune.
The Small Year is the beginning and foreshadowing of the entire Spring Festival celebrations, and the prelude to the grand Spring Festival.
In the small year, people began to prepare new year goods and live a good year cleanly, so the small year also produced many customs.
丨Xiaonian custom 丨
■ Cleaning
Every time the Spring Festival comes, every household must clean the environment, clean all kinds of utensils, remove and wash the futon curtains, sprinkle the courtyard of the room, dust and cobwebs, and clean up the Spring Festival.
Because of the harmonic sound of "dust" and "Chen", the new spring sweeping dust has the meaning of removing "Chen" (dust) and spreading new, and its intention is to sweep out all the "poor luck" and "obscurity" out of the door, pinning people's good wishes for breaking the old and building a new one.
■ Worship the King of Vesta
According to folklore, every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Emperor of the Stove would go to heaven to report the good and evil of the family to the Jade Emperor, and let the Jade Emperor reward and punish.
Therefore, when sending stoves, people put candy, water, beans, etc. on the table in front of the statue of the king of the stove to show their sincerity to worship the king of the stove, in order to let the king of the stove say more good things in front of the Jade Emperor.
■ Window flowers
The window flowers are mostly themed with auspicious motifs such as magpie Dengmei, Deer Crane Tong Tsubaki (Six Contract Spring), Five Bat (Fu) Bou Shou, Lotus (Lian) Nian Youyu (Yu), Mandarin Duck Splashing in the Water, and Hehe ErXian and so on.
Add joy to the red window flowers that are pasted on the cleaned house.
■ Write Spring League
After the new year, every household must write the Spring Festival.
Folk pay attention to the fact that there is a god must be pasted, every door must be pasted, and every thing must be pasted.
The couplet on the gate is the façade of a family, with special attention, or lyricism, or writing scenes, rich in content and witty words.
丨Xiao Nian, small reunion 丨
The small year has arrived, and the big year is not far away.
A year of hard work, a year of wind and rain,
Just for the reunion joy at the end of the year.
Let us wait quietly,
The warmest day of the year.
Let us shorten the distance with our thoughts,
Let care drive away the cold,
Let us send you your most sincere wishes,
Let the joy of the little year sweep in.
Little year to,
Send warmth:
May you,
There is a spring breeze in the heart,
Flowers bloom in all directions.
Send good:
The placket belt flowers do not fall,
The years go on and on.
Send friendship:
Friendship years like the rising sun,
Laughter and tears are often accompanied.
Today is a small year,
If you're on your way home at the moment,
May you be safe and well!
If you don't go home this year,
May your heart be reunited!
There will be ships offshore in this world,
There are always people who come home.
