The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year in the north, while the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is a small year in the south. There is a difference between the north and the south of the year, there is a saying in ancient times: "the official three people, the four boats are five", which means that the twenty-third year of the lunar month is the official small year, the twenty-fourth lunar month is the small year of the people, and the twenty-fifth lunar month is the small year of the boatman in the coastal area. It has been handed down to this day, and it has become the current North and South Sunian.
The time is different, the customs are also different, tomorrow in the southern year, no matter how busy you are, remember to eat 1 thing, do 3 things, the old tradition can not be forgotten.
Eat one thing: Eat rice cakes
In the north, dumplings are eaten in small years, but in the south, rice is mainly used as a crop, so in the small years in the south, rice products are mainly eaten, such as rice cakes.
On the day of the new year, people in the southern region make rice cakes, and the glutinous rice needs to be soaked the day in advance and then steamed on the day of the year. Then the adult cake is beaten for consumption on the day of the new year. There is also a part of the rice cakes, which are also used for sacrificial stoves and worship the king of the stove. Eating rice cakes is the same as eating dumplings, symbolizing reunion, and because of its homonym, rice cakes are given the beautiful meaning of "high every year", so as to hope that family, work, study, etc. can be higher and higher year by year.
