New Year's Day, first of all, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and the customs of the New Year's Day in all parts of the country are naturally different (the city is not counted here), so what is the difference between the New Year's Day in Huizhou?
First of all, the name of the first day of the New Year in Huizhou is different from other days, generally called "Chu Yi Dynasty", the chao pronounces zhao in the dialect, with the meaning of initiation, worship, worship, of course, there is a more important "Eighteen Dynasties" in Huizhou, and now there are not many memories.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first dynasty of Huizhou, what should we pay attention to? </h1>
In fact, the first day of the New Year should be the most idle time of the year, on this day, adults will generally get up relatively early, men are responsible for putting two kicks (there have been three kicks for a while, due to the high technical difficulty of the machine, the fireworks operation is unstable, and then disappeared), this is called the opening cannon, which means to open the door, backgammon, the hostess will start a fire to cook, waiting for the elderly and children to get up.
Under normal circumstances, this day the child will get up early, if the child can not get up, then will sleep until the natural awakening (not too excessive case), this day is generally not shouted people to get up, and is a child, the New Year's day is the children are the happiest, because the family's chicken feather duster and other torture devices have long been sealed, these days there are few scolding children. The so-called pressure on the old money, remember that before it was all "broken money", the amount is very small, the pressure is not "years" but "Qi", the purpose is to let the children grow up healthy and safe.
Breakfast is generally the first tea, double parts, one is a good tea at the bottom of the pressure box, one is sugar water tea, this sugar water tea, generally made of fried rice plus sugar water, a mouthful of thick green tea, slightly bitter, and then a mouthful of sugar water tea, the meaning is first bitter after sweet, bitter to sweet.
The next thing is to eat the "tea eggs" that the people of Taiwan think we can't afford, because Huizhou produces tea, so the tea eggs here are really boiled with tea, and now they have been changed to spices, and the tea eggs are doubled as soon as they are eaten, and every household has to eat during the New Year, and some weak will has been a bit "talking about tea eggs discoloration".
If ham sausage is the best partner for instant noodles, people who know Huizhou should know that the best partner for tea eggs is "toppings", which is a major feature of Huizhou.
"Topping noodles" do not know how to spread, has lost its original meaning, so that it is falsely rumored into "bamboo shoot silk noodles", many tourists simply understand as "cover toppings", I think this is the original meaning of "toppings" misunderstood, "toppings" should be "stove noodles", dialect pronunciation is more inclined to "stove" this sound, but also better explain what is "stove head". Chinese New Year's Eve cooked vegetables, the amount will inevitably be more, waste and Huizhou people's thrifty spirit is contrary, people will put more dishes together to fry, generally is bamboo shoots, dried tofu, yellow cauliflower, shredded meat ...
Huizhou New Year, at least the first day is rarely stir-fried, fried and "noisy" homophony, the meaning is not good, mostly in the cooking time, put last night's dishes on the pot to steam, take the meaning of "steaming". In Huizhou, there are ten different sayings, so there is also a tradition of eating rice dumplings in some places.
After breakfast, first go to the elders to greet an, but also to sacrifice the ancestral appearance, there is an ancestral hall also to go to the ancestral hall to worship, no ancestral hall to go to the grave to ask for peace, in short, everyone is a family, the New Year must be brought.
Basically the first year of this is near the village, to the clan relatives to worship the New Year, generally are the big uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle ..., this link is the child's favorite, first a child to go to a closest person's home to worship the New Year, "Xiangzhuang dance sword is intended to pei gong", said to go to the New Year, in fact, is to wear new clothes to find food in the "pastry box" of the family, if you are lucky, you can also get a "fruit bag", that is, a small red packet, the end of this New Year, and then there is one more child to another family to visit the New Year, Later, it became a game for children to get together.
Speaking of "pastry box", it is now rare to see the previous box of several layers, now it has become a "fruit plate", but how the customs have changed, there are several things that are indispensable, hemp baking cake, top market crisp, these two most popular packaging partners must be in the most middle position, "cake" is "high", New Year's backgammon, "top market" is "bull market", the next year to make a fortune, but now many people forget these meanings.
However, there are also many things that cannot be done in the first year, especially taboo to break things, which is a high-risk link for the elderly and children, easy to "offend the public anger" and "touch the moldy head", but there are also remedies, that is, when breaking, hurriedly shout "years of peace".
Of course, on this day, the water cannot be poured out, and the garbage is not allowed to be transported out, this is all "money", all are fortune.
Huizhou people who have always pursued economy, in Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day, many times the lamp is always lit, because the lamp and Ding are homophonous, this is called "Fa Ding", which means "many children and many grandchildren".
Of course, scissors are not allowed to be used on this day, and generally speaking, medicine is not allowed to be eaten, in short, this day is more good to say. However, children have always spoken without spectrum, always speaking some unpleasant language, in order to solve the problem of fairy tales, adults invented a good way to wipe the mouth of toilet paper, Chinese New Year's Eve wipe the child's mouth with waste paper, which means that the child is saying, do not be too serious, in order to achieve this effect, the child said the wrong words, the master will rush to wipe the child's mouth with paper, and later simplified to the ground Yu Yu Yu, indicating that it is all, not counting.
However, in general, this day is basically around the home, can not cause big chaos, the danger of the New Year is still behind, please pay attention to the second day of the New Year, it will definitely benefit you a lot.
