Xiao Nian is a festival celebrated in traditional Chinese culture, heralding the coming of the Spring Festival. This traditional festival has a deep cultural heritage in China, carrying a wealth of meanings and customs. In China, the timing of the small year is divided into two types: the northern part is generally celebrated on the 23rd day of the lunar month and the southern part of the month on the 24th day of the lunar month. At this time, it is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, and it is also a time of festivities, because the new year and the beginning of the spring are connected, indicating that the earth will usher in new vitality.
"Three no-outs in the New Year" is a traditional custom in the New Year's Festival, which reflects the care for family and personal morality, and also represents the expectation of a bright future in the new year.
In fact, there is no one in the third year, and there is a sentence behind it that is "not poor in the coming year". What does this mean? What do the three not refer to?
Let's take a look at it together, when the year comes, this old rule can't be forgotten.
1. Clean up the garbage at home,
In the traditional custom of "three days in a small year", timely cleaning up of household garbage is regarded as an important link. In traditional Chinese culture, family hygiene and the environment have always been given a high value. A clean family environment is not only to welcome the arrival of the New Year, but also to reflect people's pursuit of their own quality of life.
A clean and tidy family not only gives people a comfortable living environment, but also symbolizes the self-discipline and sense of responsibility of family members. In traditional culture, whether a family's environment is clean or not is often considered to be a reflection of the family's reputation and is also closely related to the development of the business.
Cleaning up household garbage also means leaving bad things and bad habits in the past and welcoming the new year. Behind this custom lies the wisdom of organizing life and self-purification.
2. At the end of the year, you must settle your accounts and be a trustworthy person.
In the traditional custom of "three days in a small year", settling the arrears at the end of the year is another important traditional custom. In Chinese culture, the importance of integrity has always been emphasized, and settling debts is a practical action to demonstrate personal integrity. This custom stems from the concept of the primacy of credibility in Chinese business culture, and has far-reaching implications for both individuals and businesses.
In the business field, timely settlement of arrears is not only a business ethics, but also the maintenance of business reputation. In a businessman's career, credibility is essential to the success of his business. Paying off the debts at the beginning of the year reflects the individual's understanding of business responsibility, and also indicates that the new year will start with a clean reputation.
3. Summarize your worries and forget them, and maintain a positive attitude
The last traditional custom of "three days in a small year" is to sum up your worries and maintain a positive attitude. When facing difficulties and setbacks in life, it is particularly important to sum up lessons learned and maintain a positive attitude. The summary of the young year includes not only a review of the year's gains and losses, but also a look forward to the future.
This traditional custom reflects people's rational understanding of life and the wisdom to actively cope with difficult situations. In the fast-paced life of modern society, people are often easily troubled by worries, and by summarizing the troubles, it helps to let go of the burden and move forward lightly. Maintaining a positive attitude is a good psychological state to welcome the New Year and meet new challenges.
These three aspects of Xiaonian traditional customs not only reflect the care for family and personal qualities, but also contain the recognition of credibility and business responsibility. In the modern society, in the neglect of tradition, these wisdom and experience still have a guiding role in the life and career development of individuals. At the festive moment of welcoming the New Year, we might as well draw strength from the traditional customs of the New Year, and welcome the new year in a way that cleans the family, keeps promises, and adjusts the mentality.
