On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the pig was killed and the meat was cut, remembering "1 to eat, 1 to wash, 1 to do", and to have a good New Year
In the blink of an eye, it was December 26, which was a custom and a custom. And among them, the most popular is "Wax Moon 26, slaughtering pigs, cutting New Year's meat".
First of all, the word "New Year meat" may not be clear to most friends, but in fact, it is a piece of pork. In ancient times, the people's living environment was very difficult, ordinary people did not even have a mouthful of food, and it was very difficult to eat a bite, that is, on a big festival such as the New Year, every family had to save money and give a big gift to their relatives. Therefore, this season, the ** of pork is very high, which is called "New Year's meat", which is used to bring good luck to the new year.
Secondly, over time, this custom has gradually spread, and now, on the 26th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, there is a tradition of "cutting New Year's meat". On this day, everyone has to go to the market to buy pork, and as soon as they buy it, it is a large piece, and some families will also buy pig's head and pig's trotters and the like, in order to have a good omen during the New Year.
In addition, on December 26, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and when the time comes, one after another delicious dishes will be "out of the pot". A bite of braised pork has become the simplest meal for many people, year after year, and they will never feel bored, which is probably the feeling of home. Because of this, "eating New Year's meat" is also regarded as a sign of auspiciousness, health and wealth in the local area.
As a result, there is the custom of "slaughtering pigs and cutting New Year's meat on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month". However, on the 26th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, there is another custom, that is, "one eat, one wash, one make", what does this mean? I'll tell you about it now.
One is eating. When he says "eat", he actually means "eat". Braised pork is a very meaningful food, bright red in color, which represents a new day and the arrival of a new year. Therefore, from this day on, everyone will eat braised pork, hoping for good development in the new year.
The second thing is to take a bath. As the name suggests, it is to take a bath, which is the so-called "December 26th, you have to wash inside and out". The meaning of this story is to wash away bad luck and bad luck so that you can have good luck in the new year. On this day, the more dust you wash off, the faster the mold will be removed from your body, and you will have better luck in the new year. So, everyone had to bathe that day.
Third, execution. It's the time of the New Year. From December 26 to the present, there are only four days left, in the previous village, there are no shops, if you want to buy New Year's goods, you have to buy them in the market, and the market in each place is once every five days, yes, you have to be ready at the 26th, otherwise it is likely to not catch up with the market, and the materials for the year are not ready at that time, it will be a pity.
Now the economy is developing rapidly, there are supermarkets in the village, and there is no worry about not being able to buy them during the Chinese New Year. However, in the village market, people are more willing to go to the market, and this atmosphere is more reflective of the atmosphere of the New Year.
All in all, approaching the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching, and the folk activities at this time will also increase, and those who are interested can experience this folk custom, follow this tradition, and have a different Year of the Dragon.
