Taking a pot to kowtow to a red packet is a spoof: see a lot of videos Spring Festival take a stainless steel basin bang bang kowtow, and then ask for a red packet, and can't afford to stumble, and some young children also do the same, which is actually purely a prank. It is neither the truth nor the smell, which is very bad. Misleading social customs may also tarnish the pure heart of children. My hometown in central Shandong, specifically the Zhangdian District in the central district of Zibo, has been in existence since I can remember, that is, after the Cultural Revolution, the custom of breaking the four olds and establishing four new ones, and kowtowing to the elders in the New Year has disappeared. Prostration was originally a very solemn and solemn thing, and now only the descendants of the children of the bereaved children prostrate themselves to thank and mourn, and when they come out of the funeral, they prostrate themselves on the grave and bow down to the souls of their deceased relatives. Qingming sweeps the tomb and prostrates his head to express his nostalgia, and large family ancestors mostly use three bows to express. Spring Festival to the elders to pay respects to the New Year, into the door said grandma and grandpa New Year is good, grandpa and aunt new year is good, the elders smile and respond, your father and mother new year is good! No more prostrations. Of course, there are also newcomers who come to the door for the first year or go abroad for many years before going home to see the elders prostrate and bow, but there are relatively few, they will be decided according to the family or their own situation, and there is no unified custom. As for the holiday red envelope, it is decided by the elders, who generally decide the amount according to the relationship between relatives and the two sides, and the close relatives will have them, and those who are a little farther away will say a kind word. As for the compensation behavior of asking for someone or repaying the account, it is only in the form of red packets, and the situation of the younger generation directly asking for red envelopes does not exist. Shandong is a country of etiquette, a variety of etiquette is also the truth, there are many places still retain a more solemn prostration is also normal, but asking for red envelopes is funny, is a game behavior, but do not let young children misunderstand that prostrating can earn red envelopes, if it is true that it does not become beggar behavior. Funny can be, misleading should be eliminated.
