The New Year is the end of the month (the great end of thirty, the small end of twenty-nine), called the Chinese New Year's Eve, we call it the "ghost year".
The Spring Festival is from the first night to the fifteenth day of the first month of the New Year, reaching a climax, and continuing until the twenty-third day of the first month. The epilogue even reached February 2.
One
We began to pay attention to it from the morning, breakfast is risotto fried cake, to wish the family a high year, backgammon.
Having eaten, going to the grave, delivering new year meals, and sacrificing ancestors are the top priority of the day and must not be neglected.
Come back and arrange everything at home again. Sweep the courtyard in the morning, to be thorough, round and round, firewood, toilets, roads, there can be no dead ends, leaving bad sand (garbage).
Paste the couplet, one pair on each side of the kiln door, one pair on the window beam, to paste it properly, to stick it firmly, not to blow it off as soon as the wind blows, to paste a positive month. The couplet is particularly dazzling under the white window paper, and the courtyard is full of joy.
Two
At noon, eat long noodles in broth, which means happiness and longevity. When the food stopped, the adults had to carry the urn, because the first day did not carry water, and then touched the black (evening) meal.
We went to chop matches, prepare wildfires (fireworks) at night, and tie up the wolf's tooth thorns at the bottom of the slope or in the opposite depression, bundle them up, and set them up in the courtyard.
Three
In the evening, the lanterns from the outside (yard) are lit first, and the whole family gathers together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
The prepared meat is as good as a bowl (hot), the roast meat stew crispy chicken balls and lamb are not pulled, and then braised a pot of cabbage noodles of meat dishes, mix a few cold vegetables or add a few small stir-fry, steamed rice, and (hot) white noodle steamed buns.
This is the most hearty meal of the year, but it is almost impossible to eat, itself is oily, plus these days to eat a little enough, or big stew eyes, almost nothing left.
As soon as we finished eating, we were anxious to go to the wildfire (fireworks), the adults gave us firecrackers, there were small cannons, and the father-in-law stopped (fair), we took the torches that had been prepared long ago, lit them from the stove fire, ignited the wildfire, and for a time the fire was soaring, the courtyard was full of light, and began to fire the cannons one by one, and when it was finished, the wildfires also burned.
Four
At that time, there was no TELEVISION, and the adults took out dry dishes, fried pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, sugar cubes, made a pot of tea, or rolled on a pot of rice wine, ate, drank, talked, laughed, and kept the age.
We ate melon seeds for a while, and we didn't sleep. About midnight, the adults went to the shock door, what was the shock? Shock the legendary monster called the year or something else, because it is the year of the ghost. A kitchen knife and a rolling pin stood at the door, and after guarding the door, he slept. At that time, I didn't give money to the old age, there was money, it was the morning of the first day of the first year.
This night the lights are not extinguished, and the kerosene lamp is filled with oil early, which is called the Changming lamp, which illuminates the face of the whole family and always illuminates the beautiful future of the whole family.
These should be a strong sense of ceremony, who is still so particular about it now?
