Shaanxi Qianxian New Year customs three: 20 months to sweep the house, 23 sacrifice stoves, 278 steamed steam Therefore, the average family has thirty boiled meat. Chinese New Year's Eve rice is the most grand, get a few cold dishes, vegetarian dishes, meat dishes to the cooked lean meat hand torn with garlic sprouts and then mixed with salt and vinegar. The man squeaked a few cups of wine, the child had already eaten which plate of meat, and then ate one or two small white steamed buns and drank some water (because during the New Year, avoid drinking rice soup, grits and other home-cooked meals). After eating, the man lay on the hot kang and smoked the dry cigarette produced by himself, and the woman rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find clothes for the whole family to wear for the New Year. The child ate almost every walnut he bought, so he shouted three or four times and went out in groups to set off the cannon. Because there are a hundred firecrackers, two hundred heads, five hundred heads, a thousand heads of several kinds, the countryside is poor, the average family buys two hundred heads, all of a sudden there is no more, the children will take the firecrackers apart one by one, so that they can be put away for a long time, I cherish the reluctance to put, just use the cannon for walnuts and fruit candy. This is a good deal, the cannon is gone, and the walnuts and sugar are indeed eaten into the stomach, which is much more affordable. One of the neighbors worked outside, had money, bought a thousand whips, and more than a dozen of our children wandered around his door every Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Waiting for his house to fire the cannon, it was so spectacular, a thousand heads of earth red flashed with fire, rattling. There were cannons exploding overhead, and we grabbed cannons below that didn't explode. Because there is no twister, it cannot be put away, so I can only go home and peel off the bomb made of gunpowder. It is to re-wrap it into a cannon shape, and it will explode with a violent throw to the ground. On several occasions, his face and hands were injured by a gunshot, and his new clothes that had just passed through the year were burned a hole.
