As the Spring Festival draws closer, we are about to usher in the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month. Xiao New Year is an important festival in traditional Chinese culture and a prelude to the Lunar New Year. Do you know what day the year is? What is the difference between the north and the south?
Xiao Nian originates from the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month, which is called the "Sacrificial Stove Festival", and is also known as Jiao Nian, Xiao Nian, and Xiao Nian. This day is the day of the stove king**, and every household will hold a ceremony to sacrifice the stove to pray for peace and prosperity in the coming year. According to the traditional customs of the Han nationality in China, the new year is the 23rd day of the lunar month.
There are also differences between the north and the south in terms of the customs of the small year. In terms of food, the north pays attention to eating dumplings on the first day of the new year, which means reunion and wealth; In the south, rice cakes are eaten, which means "rising every year". In the form of activities, northerners like to visit temple fairs, looking for festivity and liveliness; In the south, dragon lantern dances are more likely to be used to celebrate festivals and pray for good luck. In addition, the difference between the north and the south is also reflected in the red envelopes, with northerners having fewer red envelopes but larger amounts; In the south, the number of red envelopes is relatively small.
Celebrating the New Year means that the year-end farewell to the old and welcoming the new year is about to begin. On this day, family and friends gather to celebrate the festive season. The warmth, peace and happiness of home are most perfectly reflected on this special day of the new year. "Twenty-three sugar melons are sticky, and the old man of the stove wants to go to heaven", this proverb also tells us that the arrival of the new year indicates that the Spring Festival is not far away.
With the arrival of the new year, the pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer. Are you ready for the new year? Let's look forward to the new year together!
