The traditional culture, inherited for thousands of years, is like a picture scroll flowing in the long river of history. From the small snowflakes dancing in the wind of the wax moon to the scene of the lively sacrifice to the God of Wealth on the second day of the first lunar month, every link is a delicate depiction of traditional Chinese culture. It is a feast that travels through time and space, allowing people to immerse themselves in the river of millennial culture in a warm and celebratory atmosphere.
On the second day of the new year, every family is immersed in the ritual of worshiping the God of Wealth. People in the north take it seriously, not only worship at home, but also go to the God of Wealth Temple to compete for the burning of "head incense". This custom of grabbing incense has been passed down since ancient times, and it is said that those who can grab it will get a good fortune for a year. This unique ritual allows people to feel the weight of time, as if they were under the patronage of an ancient deity.
In the process of sacrificing to the God of Wealth, there are two wants, one is to rob, and the other is to be full. Grabbing the incense is just the beginning, and the next full is a symbol of a year's wealth. People express this meaning vividly, from the money bag to the water tank, all of which show the desire for wealth. The money bag is filled with gold and silver, the water tank is filled with clarity, and the family life is full, implying peace and prosperity in the four seasons.
On this special day, the food also becomes fun and full of meaning. Lettuce, homonym "shengcai", has become an indispensable dish at the banquet of the God of Wealth. People in Guangdong are even more fond of lettuce, which is closely linked to wealth. As a result, on the day of worshipping the God of Wealth, a table of delicious food with good wealth has become a hot topic of discussion.
Pig's feet, the folk tradition of "shaving" representation, are included in the recipes of offerings to the God of Wealth. It is believed that eating pig's feet will lead to a wide range of wealth and a more prosperous life. The aroma of stewed pig's feet permeates the home, as if bringing a breath of happiness to the whole family.
At lunchtime, a bowl of bulging wonton soup is served on the table, shaped like a gold ingot, implying wealth and treasure. This bowl of hot wonton soup not only fills the stomach, but also the happiness of the family. It's not just a simple meal, it's a good New Year's wish.
However, there are also taboos to be aware of on this holy day. Sleeping in bed is seen as disrespectful to the God of Wealth. On the second day of junior high school, he woke up early and showed a vigorous mental state, as if he was showing his sincerity to the God of Wealth.
Washing clothes is considered unlucky. This day is considered the birthday of the god of water, and people are to revere the god of water and avoid large amounts of water. Water represents wealth, so washing clothes is seen as "pouring money" and is not in keeping with the peaceful atmosphere of this special day.
