Colorful "New Year's customs".
It is in the mind of every Chinese
Indelible memory
The "year" of the Chinese
It is holy and full of joy
Every day is different
Each place has unique customs
So
What are the customs of the fourth year of junior high school?
Let's take a look
"Day of the Sheep".
The fourth day of the first lunar month is the "Sheep Day" of Nuwa's creation myth, so the "Three Sheep Kaitai" is often said, which is a symbol of good luck.
The fourth day of the first lunar month, also known as the day of the sheep
And "Sanyang (Yang) Kaitai" means auspicious
Jin Dong Xun's "Asking Etiquette and Customs" said
"New Year's Day
One day for chickens,
Two days for dogs,
Three days for pigs,
Four days for sheep
Five days for the ox,
Six days for horses,
Seven days as a man.
Zhengdan painted chickens in the door, and posted people in the account on the seventh day. ”
Welcome the "Stove God".
The traditional fourth day of the first lunar month is the day to welcome the gods, and the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is the day to send the gods. As the saying goes: "Send God early, receive God late", so, according to custom, send God early in the morning, but receive God around 16 o'clock. In the past, every household prepared fruits and vegetables, and burned incense, burned gold paper, and set off firecrackers to show their greetings.
There is also a legend in the north: the fourth stove prince wants to "check the household registration", so it is not appropriate to leave home, every household must stay at home, prepare rich fruits, burn incense and light candles and set off firecrackers to show welcome.
Pick up five ways
On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the general merchants will also receive the God of Wealth and open the market on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, in order to be auspicious. It is said that the fifth road is on the fifth day of the new year, but why is it said that it is on the night of the fourth day of the new year? It turns out that the fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the god of wealth, because everyone is eager for profit, they all want to welcome the god of wealth a little earlier than others, so this time is a little bit earlier, and even advanced to the evening of the fourth day of the new year, called "grab the road", also known as "pick up the god of wealth".
Eat "folding baskets".
In addition, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family will eat "Zheluo" together. The so-called folding is a hodgepodge of leftover meals from a few days to clean up the New Year's goods.
Today, our material life, though greatly enriched. However, the good habit of practicing economy and opposing waste should be continued. Here I advocate everyone: prepare the diet for the New Year, try to be nutritious, but don't make too much at one time to avoid wasting food.
"Tied to the god of fire".
In the north, some rural customs are to "tie the god of fire" on the fourth day of the first lunar month. Corn stalks or wheat stalks are tied to sticks, lit and sent from their homes to the river, indicating that there is no fire in the house for one year.
Throw poor
Today I have to clean the house and pile up the garbage in one place, the so-called "throwing poverty".
A warm time for reunion
It often feels fleeting
In the blink of an eye, half of the holiday has passed
Let's hurry up and be with our families
Enjoy the reunion again
After all
The taste of the New Year is a time of nostalgia
New Year's flavor has good expectations
New Year's flavor is the gift of childhood.
The flavor of the year has the same feelings
