Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year busy, wipe the window and sweep the floor to clean the stove
Today is the twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon
Southern Little Year
Also known as The Feast of the Stove King
At the beginning of the small year, people are busy preparing new year goods
Sprinkle the courtyard and greet the new in a big way
In the customs of Sichuan
The twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon
Every household has to "blow up the dust"
I remember when I was a child
Before the Spring Festival
Every household must be cleaned
Wash various utensils
Remove and wash the futon curtains
Sprinkle the room patio
Dust off the dirt and cobwebs and clean up the Spring Festival
Nowadays, the taste of the new year seems to be much lighter
In fact, the festival has not changed
It becomes our attitude towards the holidays.
Reclaim those old customs,
This year's New Year's flavor may be more intense
·Small Year Customs·
Clean up
The north is called "sweeping the house", and the south is also called "dust dust".
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
The day of the Small Year is also the day of the folk festival stove. (Today, traditional stoves have withdrawn from the lives of urban dwellers, and ritual stoves are only preserved in some rural areas.) ）
When sending stoves, people put candy, water, and beans on the table in front of the statue of the king of the stove to show their sincerity.
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.
Paste Spring League
After the new year, every household must write the Spring Festival.
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.
Shower haircut
When I was young, adults and children had to take a bath and get a haircut, and there was a saying that "there is no money, shave your head for the New Year".
A bath haircut removes the dust of the previous year and brings good luck to the new year.
Folk have the custom of "not cutting hair in the first month", people have to wait until "February 2, the dragon looks up" to start the first haircut after the Spring Festival, so the 24th year of the Waxing Moon should be the "good opportunity" for the last haircut before the Spring Festival.
Prologue to the Year
The beginning of the blessing
Off
It's the end of the old days
It is also a prelude to the New Year
Little years
Are you ready for the Spring Festival?
