#亲子过大年 #
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-sixth day of the waxing moon. Officially entered the Countdown to the Spring Festival.
In my son's kindergarten group, the teacher sent a form for parents and children to make similar forms together to recognize the customs and habits of the Spring Festival and punch in the etiquette.
The Spring Festival is just around the corner, but it is less than the mood of the previous eagerness, and now the New Year is getting weaker and lighter, and the New Year is becoming more and more casual.
The Spring Festival I remember is full of hope and joy, and I feel that the most important thing in the year is the New Year, cleaning, New Year's tea and dinner, pasting couplets, setting off firecrackers, new clothes, pressing old money, and keeping the age of thirty and the whole family...
There are many things, those childhood small blessings, now think of it is still endlessly reminiscent, full of happiness.
The abundance of materials makes us unable to feel the joy brought by new clothes, Chinese New Year's Eve meals, and the simplification of ceremonies makes the Spring Festival no different from every day on the calendar.
In order to leave good memories of children's childhood, inherit the warmth and precious emotions of the family, let us attach importance to the New Year and make the sense of new year rituals up. Tell your children about the origin and customs of the New Year, and at the same time lead your children to practice together.

Stove King's Day
The 23rd day of the Waxing Moon is a small year in the north, and the 24th of the Waxing Moon in most parts of the South, which is also known as the Festival of sacrifice, the Festival of the King of The Stove, and the Day of Sweeping Dust.
As the saying goes, "twenty-three, sugar melon sticky", in the New Year, people will buy sugar melons, cakes and other offerings to the king of the stove, remove the old portrait of the god of the stove, and paste the new "please" back to the statue of the king of the stove. Pray that the lord of the stove will have a sweeter mouth, "The heavens will say good things, and the netherworld will ensure peace."
According to folklore, vesta is the son of the Jade Emperor, the chief of the family's peace and blessings, and supervise the good deeds and evil deeds of the whole family, and at the end of each year, make a summary and go to heaven to warn the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor can reward and punish.
Now, because the stove is not the earthen stove that used to burn firewood, the kitchen has long ceased to be attached to the stove king Feng, and this custom has disappeared quietly.
But this custom of this story is also very necessary for children to know, and at the same time we must always be aware of our words and deeds, and do more good deeds.
The worship of "good has good retribution, evil has evil retribution" for the stove king is the manifestation of this mentality.

Dust Sweep Day
The ballad says, "Twenty-four, dust sweeping day." In fact, from before and after the festival stove to the end of the year, it is the time to sweep the dust. Dust sweeping day is also called "Spring Day".
Sweeping dust has two meanings, the first is to clean the house and to clean itself. From today on, every household must be hygienic, inside and outside the house, behind the front door of the house, the corners of the house, cleaning various utensils, dismantling and washing futon curtains...
When I was a child, my sister and I were happiest and my mother was busiest, and my sister and I would do what we could.
Finally, the room became new under the "magic" of the mother, the windows were clean, and even the air was filled with a joyful and clean spring atmosphere.
In addition to cleaning the room, people also clean their bodies from head to toe. Bathing and haircutting, cleaning the body, in short, everything in the New Year should pay attention to the "new" atmosphere and cleanliness, and greet the arrival of the New Year with a new look.
Second, sweeping dust pins on people's emotional desire to get rid of diseases and avoid disasters, to resign the old and welcome the new, and also has the meaning of removing "Chen" (dust) and clothing the new.
On the cleaning day, let the child participate and cultivate the child's ability and awareness to do housework.
I've seen a TED talk titled "How to raise sucessful kids-without over-parenting," which brings up a very interesting point: Doing chores at a young age contributes to your child's future success.
Julie Lythcott-Haims said in her speech: "Professional success, what we expect our children to achieve, depends on the chores done as children, and the sooner you start [doing housework], the better."

Grind tofu
"On the twenty-fifth day of the waxing moon, push and grind to make tofu." From the twenty-fifth day of the waxing moon, the kitchens of every household began to be busy.
The "rot" of tofu is harmonized with the "blessing" of happiness, so tofu represents the prayer "blessing". Because tofu is similar to the sound of "tofu", it is given the hope of being "rich" in the New Year.
Eating tofu not only means good, but also has a better nutritional value. The tofu is soft and smooth, suitable for all ages.
It is especially suitable for the elderly and children who need a lot of calcium. Tofu is rich in calcium, which can make children's teeth and bones grow and prevent osteoporosis in the elderly. Moreover, tofu is rich in protein, which can improve the body's immunity and enhance muscle content.
Today, create an exclusive "thanksgiving time" with your children to send blessings to relatives and friends, so as to stimulate children's feelings of care and care, so that they have a grateful heart.
My son and I sent Yulin tofu to relatives and elders today, Yulin tofu is a specialty of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, Yulin tofu is soft and tough, elastic and not cracked, we all like to eat, and it is very in line with the meaning.

Stew large meats
The traditional folk custom of the 26th Spring Festival of the Waxing Moon is "stewing big meat", killing pigs and cutting New Year meat. Starting today, every household will begin to prepare a rich Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and the "New Year meat" will be "out of the pot" one after another.
The taste of the New Year gradually came alive in the steaming New Year meal, becoming more and more intense.
Twenty-six should eat a meal of braised meat, because the meat itself represents wealth, and braised meat is more likely to indicate the prosperity of the coming year.
Of course, eating "Nian Meat" in addition to braised meat, you can also stew lamb, beef stew, roast char siu...
New Year's big fish and meat is more, we must remember the diet is balanced, the New Year meal should have coarse and fine, there are meat and vegetarian, cool and hot, dry and thin, is a good New Year's meal, in order to meet the different tastes of the family.

Slaughter big chickens
There is a saying in the folk song: "Twenty-seventh of the waxing moon, kill a chicken". "Chicken" is the same as "auspicious", which means auspicious and auspicious.
When I was a child, twenty-seven chickens were killed, and I always wanted to eat on this day, and my grandmother told me that this day's chicken stew was exquisite, and it could not be eaten on the twenty-seventh day, but it had to be placed until the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve to be able to eat, and it could not be eaten at once, and it needed to be eaten every day to be able to make a fortune.
With the departure of Grandma, our family no longer has the custom of killing chickens on this day, but Grandma passed on to me the wisdom and industrious attitude of life forever.
At the time of twenty-seven, there is also a saying of "catching up with the big set", on this day, it is necessary to prepare all the items needed for the New Year, such as firecrackers, nuts, couplets, etc. to be purchased.

Turn the noodles and steam the steamed buns
The folk song of the twenty-eighth day of the waxing moon has "Waxing moon twenty-eight, put the noodles", that is, on the twenty-eighth day, each family is going to start preparing staple food. Prepare the staple food from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and start steaming jujube flowers and steamed steamed steamed buns on this day.
Lao Li'er said that from the first day of the first year to the fifth day of the first year, you can't use the fire to steam steamed
The reason is because steaming and arguing harmonics, stir-frying and noisy harmonic sounds, fried and fried (four sounds) harmonic sounds, are not auspicious, so it is necessary to steam enough steamed steamed for the whole family to eat for a week or so in the year, which is called eating every other year.
Let the child participate in the choice and cooking of food, let the child see for themselves how flour and yeast become steamed buns, when the child knows more about food, the more involved, the more he will love to eat when eating.
After making the steamed buns themselves, the children learned that the steamed buns were not naturally "grown" in the supermarket food, and they understood that the food was not easy to come by.

Spring Festival is the highest sense of ceremony in Chinese, and it is in the direction we can find home.
Don't let the Spring Festival be lost in our hands, so that children feel that the New Year is no different from usual.
Inheriting the culture of the new year is the core of a family, the spirit and the core, which is these seemingly trivial but unforgettable small traditions of the family, which have always warmed the children and accompanied the children's growth.
