According to the old customs of Cen Xi, there are four traditional festivals a year, and the Spring Festival is naturally the first.
Spring Festival, commonly known as the New Year, "Cen Xi County Chronicle": the first day of the Chinese New Year
"Dreaming of prosperity and full dress, setting up a wine and dish atrium to enjoy the ancestral examination, preamble to worship...", to put it bluntly, the most important thing is to set up a god case in the heavenly steps in front of the hall to welcome the heavenly joy and the god of wealth, and to worship the ancestors in the main hall of the main house, which is called the New Year.
When the firecrackers were casually released, it was naturally the urban and rural firecrackers firing in unison, the fireworks soared into the sky, and the sound was endless, and now there was only one sigh left.
According to traditional customs, Cen Xi here posted Spring League, Door God, Lishi Qian (note) these things, a considerable part of which are arranged to be carried out in the early morning of the first day of the first year (in the Chinese New Year's Eve paste is also good).
After breakfast, the cow girls, tea picking teams, lion dance teams and dragon dance teams of each village greeted each family with the sound of gongs and drums. This has a very deep and strong traditional New Year's flavor, so people will go out of their homes to welcome the Spring Festival.
The second day of the first lunar month, also called the opening of the year, worships the gods, and sets off firecrackers, which begins to formally visit relatives and friends, and even engage in labor.
The seventh day of the first lunar month, also known as The Day of the People, this day basically does not go out to visit relatives and friends and engage in labor, eat tangyuan in the morning, and reunite at dinner in the evening.
The tenth day of the first lunar month, also called the Lantern Festival, which is spread in many parts of Guangxi, that is, the family that gave birth to a male baby will hang up the lamp on this day, of course, the habits of each place are different. It is said that in the past, Cen Xi attached great importance to this festival, there are many sayings, the economy of this festival was of course very important, and the times made it so, it is also a manifestation of son preference!

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, is also a god, adding vegetables at night, in some areas, young men and women have to go to "steal green" at night, in modern parlance, that is really "stealing vegetables". However, the "stolen" dishes are also exquisite, and the onions, garlic and greens are the most sought-after, which means that things are smart and cost-effective in the new year.

Tell us a little bit about it! Therefore, on this day, whoeverse dish is "stolen", the main family will not blame the like, that is, to have a happy. Of course, there is no such thing now.
Generally speaking, in other places, after the fifteenth day of the first month, even if the New Year is over, but the last day of the first month in Cen Xi here still has a teaching, and the last day of the lunar calendar is also called "Zheng Poor Festival", which takes the meaning of exhaustion of the first month.
However, poor words are not good, so avoid "poor words", called positive sections. There is a local saying: "Winter is good, New Year is good, eat poor noodles and wrinkle".
