Hey, friends, today I want to tell you a rare thing, have you heard of it? It is a unique tradition in our northeast -- the eighth day of the third month of March, commonly known as "Fortune Day"! Oh, don't underestimate this date, it is a big day that only shows its face every 60 years! I will tell you in detail. Leave a message in the comment area to receive blessings for your family and children, "Bodhisattva blesses, one shun and one hundred shun"!
1. Eat dumplings on the eighth day of the new year, and come home with a lot of wealth
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year in my hometown is terrible, everyone has to make dumplings at home, and that's called a lively! Everyone is busy kneading dough, rolling skins, and stuffing, and wrapping them vigorously, until their fingers are sore. Don't say that you don't have to put anything in the dumplings, just watching the family get together and make dumplings with a smile, I feel warm in my heart.
Eating dumplings on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year not only fills the stomach, but also means "reunion", and every family is looking forward to a family reunion and happiness. As the saying goes, "Every year is more than enough, and every year is safe." That's what it means, it means that the family is well fed, clothed, and happy.
2. Invite the God of Wealth, every household will make a fortune
There is another important event on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, to invite the God of Wealth! We people in the Northeast especially believe in this set, and when the eighth day of the Lunar New Year arrives, every household has to invite the God of Wealth into their homes. Some people hang red lanterns, some people paste Spring Festival couplets, and some people light incense candles.
I remember when I was a child, the adults in the family would prepare a table of good food and wine, and then invite a Taoist priest to recite the scriptures, greet the God of Wealth, and pray for good luck and fortune in the year. Oh, the Taoist priest with a solemn expression and a loud voice, when he was chanting the scriptures, he really scared me to the point that my hair was straight, and my heart was pounding.
Inviting the God of Wealth is not only a tradition, but also a belief. We Northeast people believe in gods and beliefs, and we all hope to be blessed by the gods, and our families are happy and our lives are smooth.
3. Entertainment activities, unlimited joy
In addition to making dumplings and inviting the God of Wealth, there are many entertainment activities on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year! The streets and alleys are full of festive atmosphere, people put on new festive clothes, hold their families and friends, walk the streets and alleys together, watch temple fairs, visit markets, and are very lively.
The most lively place in my hometown on the eighth day of the first month is the temple fair! It is crowded with people, and it is very lively. There are all kinds of game stalls on the street, including fishing stalls, doll catching stalls, and all kinds of food stalls, and looking at these colorful stalls, my mouth began to drool.
Fourth, summary
The eighth day of the third month in the northeast of us is a unique day! Make dumplings, invite the God of Wealth, and temple fairs...... These traditional activities all reflect the unique folk customs of our Northeast people. These traditions not only enrich our lives, but also pass on our culture.
I would like to say that although society is changing and life is changing, our traditional culture will never change. Wherever we go, we have to remember our roots, our culture, and our traditions. We Northeast people should pass on these traditions, so that our future generations can also feel this unique cultural charm.
