Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family eats a reunion dinner, paste couplets, and watch the Spring Festival Gala with the family, a very happy and lively day. After Chinese New Year's Eve night tomorrow is the first day of the New Year, recently always heard friends around the side said that the current taste of the New Year is getting lighter and weaker, feel that the New Year is very boring, the taste of the New Year when the child is particularly strong, it may also be that the elders are not willing to celebrate the New Year, when they were young, the elders at home are very exquisite, especially the day of the New Year's Day, many pay attention to although there is no scientific basis, but also think it is very interesting, and these pay attention to we have learned from the elders from the elders", and it is precisely because of these exquisite, Only to make the New Year more special and more flavorful. Our hometown new year's day has some special exquisite, the younger generations are keeping in mind "3 eat 3 swing 3 do not do", meaning: the year of the ox is safe and smooth, the old rules do not lose.
Remember 3 to eat on the first day of the Chinese New Year: eat rice cakes, eat tangyuan, and eat fasting dishes
Eat rice cakes
Rice cake is one of the must-have delicacies for every household in the New Year, there are white rice cakes, brown sugar rice cakes, etc., steamed in advance years ago, when eating, cut it and fry it to eat, especially delicious and relieved. Eating rice cakes on the first day of the Chinese New Year also has the beautiful meaning of "step by step". Our family must eat every year on the first day of the New Year.
Eat tangyuan
The first meal we get up on the morning of the New Year in our hometown every year is to eat "tangyuan", which means "reunion" and "reunion and consummation" in the new year. Now there are many kinds of tangyuan, in addition to the traditional glutinous rice tangyuan, there are also a variety of fruit tangyuan, colorful tangyuan and so on, but also rich in taste. Chinese New Year's Eve shou years, the New Year's Day together is late, hungry, too early to make lunch, do not get something to fill the stomach and afraid of being hungry later, so tangyuan is "shining" in the skillful hands of housewives.
Eat fasting dishes
In our hometown, there is also the New Year's Day does not "kill", the habit of eating fasting dishes, dumplings are also vegetarian dumplings, some places will eat meat dishes, but also eat Chinese New Year's Eve leftovers, meaning that there is more than enough every year. Or cut all the dishes in advance and don't touch the knife the next day. "Eat fasting", the day is safe and auspicious. Dried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried water celery ("celery" and "diligence" are harmonious, hoping that the whole family will work hard in the new year), eating vermicelli (meaning living a long stream of water), huang can't help butt like gold yuan treasure (meaning to attract wealth into treasure), eating humus means "rich".
There are 3 kinds of food on the large table in the hall: kumquat, apple, and sugar cane
Place the oranges
At the beginning of the New Year, a large table in the hall of every household, with a red plate filled with some auspicious fruits, put kumquat "auspicious", we locals like to buy potted kumquats, placed at home or on both sides of the door, the table will also be placed some kumquat fruits, citrus and other fruits, are the same auspicious meaning.
Place the apples
Apple is also an indispensable fruit for the New Year every year, the first day of the New Year will be placed on a plate of apples on the table, meaning "peace and security", apples are not much, generally put 6 apples, meaning peace and security, six six big smooth.
Place the sugar cane
Sugarcane is also one of the fruits, which seems very ordinary, but on the first day of the New Year, our family will also put a few sections of sugarcane on the table, which means "rising from beginning to end", from the beginning to the end, meaning that the days are rising day by day, and the head is sweet to the end.
Don't do it on the first 2 of the New Year' Day: you can't throw water on the floor to sweep the garbage, try not to move the knife and scissors
On this day, you can't throw water outside and take out the garbage
On the first day of the new year, people hope that the beginning of the year will be successful, and there will be a good omen, Pepsi will be successful. When I was a child, the elders of the family said that the New Year can not sweep the floor, "broom star" meaning is very bad, everyone try not to touch the broom, and this day sweeping the floor is easy to sweep away the "fortune", if you want to sweep it is also to sweep the house, and then put the garbage in the corner, do not throw away.
Try not to move sharp things like knife scissors needle and thread, scissors, etc
In addition to not sweeping the floor, the first day of the New Year can not move the knife scissors needle and thread, scissors and other sharp things, especially scissors, do not cut hair and other things, cutting vegetables and the like are also cut in the Chinese New Year's Eve to the day, the first day of the New Year is to eat tangyuan and Chinese New Year's Eve eat the remaining meat dishes hot on the line, now young people do not pay attention to these.
Lily food talks about fragments: The above is about some old traditional customs and habits in the New Year's Day family, which seems to have no scientific basis, but it is also very interesting, from the elders to teach by example, and then tell their children to do the same, in fact, it is not to say that these old traditions are "superstition", everyone is just trying to be an auspicious. What are the exquisite and taboos on the first day of the Chinese New Year in your hometown?
