Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, "Chinese New Year's Eve three is not empty" decoding What exactly does it mean?The way to wealth in the coming year
China has always been a country of etiquette, all walks of life pay attention to etiquette, people also pay attention to etiquette, if the Chinese pay the most attention to etiquette, it must be some important festivals, let's say festivals, this is of course China's biggest festival, Spring Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve before the Spring Festival, people have to enter the New Year on this day, it also means that Vientiane is renewed, there are several new things!It also means that everything is new, a new future, a new life.
So there will definitely be a lot of work on this day, and whenever Chinese New Year's Eve comes, the older generation will always do some strange behavior, and these are some proverbs handed down by the older generation, like the old saying:"Chinese New Year's Eve is not empty, and the year is not poor. "What does it mean to come last to come to Sankong?
First of all, the first day of the new year can not be empty, in ancient times, people put up lights, oil lamps shine, now is the Spring Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, almost every household will light up all night, the family gathers together, eats a reunion dinner to watch the Spring Festival Gala, waiting for the clock to ring 0 o'clock to welcome the New Year, happy time always flies away, before all people slow down, the New Year has come, so Chinese New Year's Eve is almost every family's must pass!On Chinese New Year's Eve, families chatted late into the night, and children and grandchildren mingled together, which also led the crowd away from their sleep;Tonight, the lights will not be extinguished, and China will usher in the glorious scene of thousands of lights and parents.
In summer, people living in the countryside or suburbs will hang red lanterns on the door or roof, meaning that the coming year is prosperous, home and everything is prosperous, and now the lamplighters are basically using electric lamps as lighting equipment, and in the past, there were no electrical appliances, there was no such technical invention, people can only use candles or oil lamps for lighting, but whether it is a candle or an oil lamp, it is not as bright as an electric lamp for a long time, because the moment the oil lamp goes out, the light will not go out. It is also very common for oil lamps to go out at times, but on that night, the ancients did not allow this to happen, but kept changing the candles and changing the oil lamps.
The reason is because this is a special tradition, in the eyes of the aborigines, the day of Chinese New Year's Eve is particularly important, it is related to the happiness of themselves and their families in the coming year, so this day and night can not be wrong in any way, lamps and oil lamps are very important lighting tools, and the meaning expressed by them also symbolizes that the family will be lively in the new year, based on this symbolism, the aborigines also said that if the lights are not extinguished, this does not represent their own downfall in the coming year?
There is also folk rumor that this tradition is based on a story. It is said that in ancient times, there was a kind called"Wanderers"The monsters will harm people and harass the world on Chinese New Year's Eve, because on this day, all the gods have to return to the sky to report the work of the previous year, so these monsters have an opportunity. But the clever natives also realized that the lights would not go out. However, the resourceful aborigines also found that this monster is very afraid of fireworks and car lights, in fact, this monster is the year beast we know now, but it also has such a legend, so on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, people will set off fireworks, light torches, and the lights of thousands of homes are lit for a long time.
This second can't be empty, the home of the pot can't be empty, why can't the pot be empty?Because the pot is an indispensable tool for cooking in people's daily life, the important thing is that in the past, every household had only one pot, the pot was used for cooking, and it was also used for stirring, unlike now, there will be a large number of kitchen utensils in our kitchen, due to the backwardness of science and technology in the past, we can only use the most primitive and ordinary way to cook, so today we can even see it in many rural areas!Every household has a large iron pot.
In the eyes of the aborigines, this iron pot is also a very important necessity of life, less will undoubtedly lose the rice bowl, there is no cooking fire, but at the same time, the iron pot will often store some food, the use of the residual heat of the stove to store some leftover food, so as to ensure that there is still a part of the calories in the food, because of the role of the iron pot, it also needs to be given a symbol of abundant life.
Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the iron pot used for cooking at home can not be empty, if it is empty, it means that there will be a lack of food and clothing next year, it is said that the God of Wealth is responsible for lighting the fire, he also needs to check whether there is good food in the pot, if there is nothing, of course the God of Wealth will be unlucky, he will not bless the whole family next year, and the food in the second iron pot will also be sufficient In addition, the food in the iron pot is also the meaning. Moreover, putting food in an iron pot also means that there will be enough food every year, that is, there will be enough food every year, and it is precisely because of such good wishes that people will follow this example.
The last can not be empty is to live in the bedroom or the whole room, of course, the probability of this situation is extremely small, Chinese New Year's Eve can not be no one at home, but in some cases, there will be no one at home, such as the elderly at home will go out to set off fireworks, or in some specific areas, the family will go out to meet, in short, the family will go out to meet, but the family will go out to meet, in case the family goes out to meet late on Chinese New Year's Eve, to pay New Year's greetings, that is Chinese New Year's Eve. The whole family will go out to meet, in short, there will be special occasions for the whole family to meet.
If this happens, at least one person should be left at home to watch, in fact, more precisely, to prevent any accidents from entering the house, because on Chinese New Year's Eve, every household will turn on the lights, and every family will be immersed in a joyful and happy atmosphere, which is why these accidents have nowhere to go, and choose a dark or desolate place to stay, if at this time all family members go out and no one guards the house, these accidents will disappear. Misfortune will go away. If there is no one to guard the family at this time, this evil spirit will enter the family and affect the happiness and development of the family in the coming year.
Although this statement is indeed a bit absurd and has no basis, in order to create an atmosphere of happiness, people are still willing to believe that even if there is no basis, they hope that the New Year will be a year of family harmony and prosperity, and that everyone can live a good life and have a happy life to support these good wishes.
In the final analysis, these words circulated among the people are very traditional customs, some backward and decadent ideas, we do not have to take them too seriously, do not have to believe what these preachers say, but we must correctly view and inherit them, because they are associated with the Chinese New Year's Eve customs or spring rites of the ancient ancestors, and are linked to national festivals and national culture.
It is also linked to the continuation and inheritance of the Chinese nation. Although many of these customs are outdated and unscientific, they are customs of the ancients to express their yearning for a better life and a better future for future generations, and they should be respected and admired.
