Today is the twenty-fourth day of the Waxing Moon, which is also our small year in the south, and at this point, the Spring Festival has officially kicked off.
Here, Xiaoming wishes everyone a happy new year!
In ancient times, there was a tradition of "officials, three people, four boats, and five boats" in the small year, the small year of the official family was the twenty-third month of the WaxIng Moon, the people's family was the twenty-fourth month of the Waxing Moon, and the water people's home was the twenty-fifth of the Waxing Moon.
Legend has it that this day is the day when the "King of the Stove Goes to Heaven", in the Northern Song Dynasty, the small year is not called the small year, it is called the "Jiaonian Festival", which means the turn of the Year before and after the Spring Festival. During the small period, the main folk activities include pasting spring festivals, sticking window flowers, and offering stoves.
Little Year poems
Small years
(Song) Wen Tianxiang
Yan Shuo is poor, and Jiangnan worships Xiao Nian.

Sacrifice stove word

On the twenty-fourth day of the ancient Fu La, the Emperor of The Stove wanted to say something to the heavens.
The cloud car wind horse small stay, the family has cups and plates of abundant ceremonies.
Pork head rotten hot pisces fresh, bean sand and pine powder bait balls.
The boy offered his daughter to avoid, and the wine burned money stove Junxi.

Ask the king this night at the bottom of the eaves, what is the original head of the music society god?
Little Year's Eve
"Spring Festival in Beijing"
Lao She (excerpt)
Twenty-three days to celebrate the New Year, almost the New Year's "rehearsal". In the old society, on this night, the family worshiped the king of the stove, and from the first time the black firecrackers sounded, with the sound of the cannon, the paper statue of the king of the stove was incinerated, and his name was sent to the king of the stove to heaven.
In the past few days, the street has sold more or less maltose and rice candy, which are either rectangular or large and small melons. According to the old saying: There is sugar sticking to the mouth of the King of Stove, and when he reaches heaven, he will not report bad things in the family to the Jade Emperor. Now, there are still sugar sellers, but they are only enjoyed by everyone, and they no longer stick to the mouth of the king of the stove.
After twenty-three, everyone will be busier, and the New Year will arrive in the blink of an eye. Before the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family must paste the Spring Festival, and must clean up once, which is called sweeping the house. Meat, chicken, fish, greens, rice cakes, and so on must be prepared sufficiently, at least enough to eat for a week - according to the old custom, the majority of shops, closed for five days, and not open until the sixth day of the first month. If you do not prepare for the next few days of food, it is not easy to replenish temporarily.
"Peking New Year"
Liang Shiqiu (excerpt)
After the sacrifice, the year is closed. The family was busy taking the tin incense burner, tin wax sticks, tin fruit plates, and tin tea trays out of the cobweb-sealed boxes for the annual scrubbing.
Palace lamps, yarn lamps, horn lamps, all out of the cage. New Year goods should also be prepared early, including dry goods used in the kitchen, dried apples and fruits used to worship the gods and ancestors, etc., the peony daffodils offered in the house, and the thick and thin mixes that the children eat.
The honey offering has long been customized at the Baiyun Temple, and when the time comes, it will be delivered to the door bowl by large basket of paper paste. The size of the home, going in and out, like a stroke demon. Of course, the housewife has an extra burden, to prepare new clothes, new shoes and new socks for everyone, although it is a cloth shoe cloth socks cloth coat, always have to get on and off a new one.
"Past Years"
Mo Yan (excerpt)
After half a month of staying up for another half a month, it was the day of resignation. We also call the birthday a small year, and we live more seriously. Breakfast and lunch are still rough food on weekdays, and dinner is a meal of dumplings. In order to wait for this dumpling, I ate very little breakfast and lunch.
At that time, my meal was so large that I couldn't say how many dumplings I could eat. There is a ritual for the stove, that is, when the dumplings come out of the pot, first put two bowls on the stove top, and then burn half a knife of yellow table paper, and burn the stove horse together.
After burning, drizzle the dumpling soup on the paper ash, and then prostrate your head, even if the sacrifice stove is completed. This is the simplest. The richer families should buy some Kanto sugar for the stove, which is probably meant to let the stove prince who is about to report to heaven taste some sweetness and say more good things before God. Some people also say that kanto sugar is used to stick to the mouth of the stove king. This kind of statement is not reasonable, you stick to his mouth, bad words can not be said, but good words can not be said!
If happiness is a state, then expecting it to come true is a kind of happiness.
The small year is to give people who are looking forward to the New Year a kind of "small luck".
Parents can buy New Year goods with their children, listen to their opinions, and also clean the home together to make their children feel their own growth.
Let's welcome the New Year with a sense of ceremony!
Today's little year
May you and your family be at peace
Follow me and let me be your own little sun
