Folk have always had such a proverb: "Send god early, receive god late." Therefore, it is necessary to "send the gods" in the early morning, but the "receiving gods" is a little late, around four o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to preparing fruits and vegetables for animal sacrifices, each household also set off firecrackers, burned incense, and burned gold paper to welcome the king of the stove. According to the custom, on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, the whole family will gather together to eat "Folding Luo". "Folding Luo" is a unique term in old Beijing and Hebei, and Zhang Shouchen's "Wax Qian'er" has a record: "The old lady eats loose noodles at noon, and eats Folding Luo at night." In the homes of ordinary people, the leftover meals from the first to the third day of the first lunar month are called "folding luo", and even if the living conditions are better now, we must not forget the virtues of thrift and thrift.
