Read aloud丨Zhu Liye.
The rabbit leaps forward, and the dragon comes with good luck. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Dragon, and Haibo Night Reading wishes everyone a prosperous future and a bright future.
In Fuzhou, early in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, every household will open their doors and burn incense and fire cannons to welcome the arrival of the new year.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fuzhou people must eat Taiping noodles, which is a kind of boiled noodles made of noodles, broth, and duck eggs, in the Fuzhou dialect. "Duck eggs" and "pressed waves" are homophonic, implying calm and peaceful.
Fuzhou dialect "face" and "life" homonym, the line is long, meaning "long life". Eating Taiping eggs is also particular, to keep one, can not eat all, to other people's homes as a guest is the same, must leave one for the host, meaning to bless the master, but also let themselves "more than every year", after eating only say "eat well", do not say "finished eating".
Did you eat too much today?
There is a proverb in Fuzhou: "New Year's greetings, New Year's greetings, oranges and money."
Fujian's Fu orange is bright red in color, sweet in fruity juice, and ripens around the Spring Festival. "Tangerine" and "auspicious" are homophonic, and it is a festive red, so orange is a must-have fruit for Fuzhou people to celebrate the New Year.
The custom of old Fuzhou is that on the first day of the first lunar month, the younger generation should go to the hall where the elders live to pay New Year's greetings to the elders to show respect for the elderly. And the elders should give oranges to the younger generations to thank them, wishing the younger generations good luck in the new year. The custom of dividing oranges in Fuzhou is simple and auspicious, and everyone is happy.
If it is a close relative's junior, the elders should give red envelopes, commonly known as "New Year's money". The "New Year's money" is wrapped in red paper on the outside, also like a red orange, and there is money inside, which means good luck and wealth.
The Qing Dynasty poet Wu Jiyun described it this way in "Fuzhou Years of Bamboo Branches":
The new clothes are approaching people, and the etiquette is humble and joyful.
Meet on the road and make a fortune to celebrate the New Year.
Have you eaten oranges today?
On the first day of the new year, everyone will put down all their work and eat the next year's meal on Chinese New Year's Eve. Eating "alternate year's dinner" in the New Year is to ask for "more than enough every year", and some people eat rice cakes (brown sugar cakes) or vegetarian food. They don't sweep the floor and take out the garbage, and some even stop their daily household chores such as washing dishes, mainly to get a good fortune in life.
On the first day of the first lunar month, "fighting night lanterns" is a custom in old Fuzhou.
*"Fujiyama Chronicles" records:
On Chinese New Year's Eve, people keep the New Year, and merchants check out and stay up all night, so on New Year's Eve, Yidou (than) goes to bed early.
Fight early to get into bed", which means that the family competes to see who rests earlier. "Night light", a lamp hanging in the hall after sleeping at night, also known as "Changming lamp", the meaning of auspicious long hair. During the Spring Festival, Fuzhou folk customs like to be brightly lit, and they will not turn off all the lights when they sleep, and will leave a lamp for lighting.
Let's come to the "Fighting Night Lantern" today, okay?
