#我来唠家常#
Today is February 2, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is commonly known as the "Little Year" in the northern region, and the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month tomorrow is the "Little Year" in the south.
Children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year, Laba porridge after a few days, mile la la twenty-three, twenty-three sugar melons sticky, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five make tofu, twenty-six stew white meat, twenty-seven slaughter roosters, twenty-eight handfuls of dough hair, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns, thirty nights to stay up.
This is a folk song that you and I often sang when I was a child, and everyone looked forward to the New Year. The 24th lunar month is the "small year" in the southern region, and the small year in the north is mostly the 23rd lunar month. On this day of the new year, every household must do one thing: sweep the dust, that is, carry out the last big cleaning in the old year.
This is a traditional custom that existed in the Yaoshun era thousands of years ago in the mainland. In Chinese culture, "dust" is the same as "Chen", "dust" means dust, and "Chen" has the meaning of obsolescence. In the eyes of the ancestors, sweeping away a lot of unsatisfactory, unsatisfactory, and unlucky luck in the old year, in order to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and at the same time look forward to good luck and good luck in the new year. In addition, sweeping the house is called "sweeping the house" by the north.
On the 24th day of the lunar month, people will thoroughly clean their houses inside and out, remove dust, cobwebs, etc., place the furniture in order, clean the drainage ditches around the house, and welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival with a clean and tidy image.
In fact, in addition to sweeping the dust is something that Xiao Nian must do, no matter how busy he is, he has to clean the house again, Xiao Nian is also particular about cleaning the dust.
1. Use a new broom as soon as possible.
The broom is an essential tool for dusting in small years. However, in the countryside, bamboo is mostly used in the south, while sorghum is used in the north, and they are made into new brooms, which are used to clean the corners of the room, as well as the roof and walls. The reason why people use them is because bamboo and sorghum are masculine things, which can be used to get rid of filth and evil, and also have the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
2. Sweeping dust should be from the inside out.
The reason why sweeping the dust should be from the inside to the outside is not only a reasonable way to clean the room, but also in the special time of the new year, this has the bad luck and bad luck at home to sweep away, and there is a beautiful implication of good luck and good luck and good luck for the family.
3. Place items in order.
First of all, it is necessary to clean up all useless things such as worn-out and junk. Secondly, important objects should be placed neatly, and some decorations should be added to create a solar atmosphere.
a. The head of the bed should not be facing the west side, because the west position is considered by the folk to be the direction of the deceased, that is, the old saying "the head of the bed faces west, and the crane travels west", which is unlucky.
B, can be added Pixiu, it is believed to enhance the atmosphere of the house, has the meaning of wealth protection, exorcism and filth, generally placed in the entrance, the left side of the study.
c. You can add green plants, such as evergreen fortune trees, golden kudzu, rubber trees, etc.
At the same time, there is another important thing, that is, Xiao Nian remembers to "sacrifice to the god of the stove". Folks believe that the god of the stove is in charge of the fireworks in the world. On this day, every household makes delicious food and drink, and must first be placed on the stove to worship the god of the stove, in order to pray for smooth wind and rain, abundant grains, and peace of the country and the people.
Today, remember to clean up!
