After Wei Jin, he began to pay attention
Although there are no festivals such as Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, the seventh day of the first year is grand
But there are also many interesting customs
Let's take a look!
Diet for people's day
Chinese pay attention to "the people take food as the sky"
Each festival has a corresponding food
The seventh grade is no exception
Eat seven dishes
Folk customs are that on the seventh day of the first month, you must eat seven kinds of vegetable cakes made of different kinds of green vegetables, namely celery, garlic, green onion, coriander, and leek. Qin tong "diligent"; Garlic is the same as "counting"; Onions are the same as "Cong"; "leeks" are the same as "long", and the taste is secondary, mainly for the sake of seeking auspiciousness. The remaining three can be matched according to customs, tastes, and independent combinations.
In addition to vegetable cakes, many places will also eat "Shippo Soup". According to the "Chronicle of the Jingchu Dynasty", "The seventh day of the first month is a human day, with seven kinds of vegetables as a soup... and made Huasheng to leave behind.". The so-called "seven vegetable soup" is a vegetable soup that uses seven kinds of vegetables to mix the five flavors. Chaoshan area refers to mustard greens, thick combination, celery, garlic, spring vegetables, leeks, kale, Guangzhou area refers to celery, mustard greens, spinach, shallots, garlic, coriander, lettuce. No matter which seven kinds of vegetables, they have been given a beautiful meaning, such as lettuce means "making money", garlic means "careful calculation", etc., hoping for the new year to be diligent, smart, lucky, and rich.
Fish raw
On this day, the south has the custom of "fishing for raw fish", that is, the fish meat, side dishes and sauces are poured into the large plate, people use chopsticks to fish, and constantly shout: "fishing, fishing, hair, hair", pay attention to the louder the shouting, the better, the higher the fishing, the better.
Spread the pancakes
In ancient times, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, people would spread pancakes in their yards, which meant that the new year was full of grains. There is a custom of spreading pancakes in the courtyard and eating a "box dish" with spring cake rolls, which are rolled with a variety of cooked foods, including smoked belly, stove meat, clear sauce meat, sauce elbows, smoked chicken, etc. Another theory is that on the seventh day of the first day, the pancakes are alluded to "smoking the sky", because it is a stove set up in the courtyard, and the wood is burned, so that wisps of cooking smoke will rise, which looks very "imposing and smoky".
Eat noodles
Many places still have the custom of eating noodles on the seventh day of the first month, which means that noodles are wrapped around the legs of the years, which means health and longevity. In the afternoon of the Human Day Festival, long noodles are generally eaten, also called ra soul noodles. That is to say, when the New Year is full of people walking east and west, their hearts are wild, and once the day has passed, they should also prepare for spring ploughing and production, so they eat the soul noodles and take back their hearts.
On the first day of rework, we must also take back our hearts and continue to work hard!
Human Day Customs
Dai Ren wins and gives flowers to win
"People win" and "flower win" are both kinds of decorations in ancient times. On the seventh day of the first month, people will use colored paper, silk drapery, and gold and silver jewelry to make it into the shape of a villain, and then carry it on their heads or paste it on the screen, which is "wearing people to win", which means health and peace, full of blessings.
Huasheng is similar to human sheng, but the appearance is different, and huasheng is the appearance of flowers. On the seventh day of the first month, in addition to wearing a victory, people also give each other a "flower victory". Those who receive The Flower Victory will have good luck throughout the year, and at the same time express people's joy at the festival.
Travel to ascend to the heights
In the past, the day of the Human Day Festival was the day when ladies traveled and literati inkers ascended to the top of the poetry. The Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi wrote in "Ren Ri Send Du Er Shi Yi": "This year people remember each other day and space, and next year people know where to go? Pinning the thoughts of Du Fu, to this day, Chengdu still has an annual "people's day trip to the grass hall activities", the grass hall is Du Fu Caotang, Gao Shi also mentioned at the beginning of this poem "Ren Day inscription poems send grass hall, remote pity for the old people to miss their hometown." The wicker color can't bear to look at, and the plum blossoms are full of branches and empty intestines."
Don't reprimand
The seventh day of the first year is the birthday of a person, and the person who is born after him is a person who is respected. Even the government cannot execute criminals on this day, and parents cannot teach their children a lesson on this day.
So
The seventh day of the first lunar month is actually
A festival with many customs and rich meanings
These are the splendid treasures of the mainland's traditional culture
Full of ancestral wisdom
Today, many people have also started to rework
