Or the neglected annual customs: seven knots, eight fishing rice, the first nine to eat a big dish rice

It is said that after the fifth day of the first lunar month, the year will be over. Those who should go to work, those who should do business, those who should go to school, in short, do whatever they want.

However, according to the old rules, after the fifth day of the first month of the first month, there are still many sayings. For example, in terms of eating, Tangyin has a local custom of "seven knots, eight fishing rice, and nine children eating a big dish rice".

According to some legends of the ancient Nüwa who created artificial objects: the first day of the first lunar month is a chicken, the first two are dogs, the third is a pig, the fourth is a sheep, the fifth is a cow, the sixth is a horse, and the seventh is a man.

Therefore, the seventh day of the first lunar month is called "Human Day", which is the legendary birthday of human beings, that is, the birthday of people. It is also called "Man Victory Festival", "Man Celebration Festival", "Population Day", "Seven Days of Man" and so on.

These customs began in the Han Dynasty and began to be valued after the Wei and Jin dynasties. Ancient people have the custom of wearing "human victory", human victory is a kind of headdress, also known as caisheng, Huasheng, from the Jin Dynasty onwards, there are ribbon cutting for flowers, cutting ribbons for people, or gold leaf for people to paste screens, but also worn on the hair. There is also the custom of ascending to the top of the poem. After the Tang Dynasty, more attention was paid to this festival. Every human day, the emperor gave the group of ministers a colorful wisp of victory, and then ascended to a high feast for the group of subjects. If the weather is sunny on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the main year population is safe and the entry and exit are smooth.

The so-called "knots" of the first seven are the dumplings of the soup yin earth dialect. Therefore, "seven knots" means to eat dumplings on the seventh day of the first month of the first month.

The eighth day of the first lunar month is "Valley Day", and legend says that this day is Taniko's birthday. On this day, the weather is clear, then the Lord has a bumper harvest of rice this year, and the weather is cloudy and the year is apologetic.

Today is the fourth day of Lichun, the weather is clear, sunny, spring breeze and smooth, indicating this year's grain abundance, six animals prosperous.

The custom of the eighth day of the first lunar month includes the worship of tablets with the names of grains, and the activities of viewing, eating, and raising grains.

The "fishing rice" of the first eight days of Tang Yin is to first scoop the millet, put it in a pot of boiling water and cook it until it is cooked for 6--7 minutes, and then fish it out and put it into the utensils to steam. The steamed "fishing rice" is fragrant and golden, and accompanied by other vegetables, the taste is particularly beautiful.

The ninth day of the first lunar month is the "day of heaven", and it is said that this day is the birthday of the highest god in the celestial realm, the Jade Emperor. It is commonly known as "Heavenly Gongsheng". Taoism calls it "Yuan Shi Tianzun", the highest god who dominates the universe, he is the supreme god who rules the three realms and ten gods and all the spirits on earth, representing the supreme "heaven".

The main customs are to sacrifice the Jade Emperor, Taoist Temple, etc., in some places, on the day of day, women prepare fragrant flower candles and bowls, and place them in the open air at the entrance of the patio alley to worship the heavens and ask for the blessings of the heavens.

The "big dish rice" that Tang Yin ate on this day was to eat nine kinds of rice. In the past, I was poor and did not have the strength to eat good things from Chinese New Year's Eve. Therefore, spring is coming, all kinds of fresh wild vegetables show their tender buds, and nine kinds of vegetables are gathered, which is the so-called big dish rice.
