Basically, all the customs of this day are related to these aspects. The new year represents a new beginning, especially on the second day of the new year, we should follow the tradition and hope that the new year will be smooth and prosperous.
What are the customs of the second year of junior high school? There is an important rule: "Do 4 things, avoid 2 things". It's a local tradition that may vary from place to place, but it's also reasonable.
First of all, worship the God of Wealth. According to folk tradition, the second day of the lunar month is the day to worship the God of Wealth. Many businesses open on this day, rather than waiting until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to open as before. Before the second day of the new year, they will hold a ceremony to worship the god of wealth and pray for good fortune and success in the coming year. This is in the hope of a good harvest and good luck in the new year.
In addition, there are many customs in the second year of junior high school, such as family members greeting each other, visiting relatives and friends, passing New Year's cards, setting off firecrackers, and so on. These customs are all about celebrating the arrival of the new year in the hope that it will be filled with joy and good luck.
Overall, the second day of junior high school is an important day when people carry out various activities according to traditional customs to look forward to a smooth and prosperous new year. We hope you and your family can have a pleasant and peaceful day in the second year of junior high school.
Especially for people who work or do business outside the home, they want to be better every year than the previous year, and their financial luck can also be better. Therefore, they will choose to worship the God of Wealth on this day.
The second is the tradition of returning to one's parents' home. This is a common custom in both the South and the North. It means that a married daughter will return to her parents' home with her husband and children. At the same time, they will prepare some gifts and red envelopes to reunite with their families, deepen the relationship between family members, and hope that the family members will be harmonious and help each other in the future.
Returning to your parents' home is usually after breakfast, but you may choose a different date if you are far away. But most of them are on the same day.
The third thing is ancestor worship. On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, I have returned to my mother's house, and I want to worship my ancestors at this time. Relatively speaking, this ancestor worship will be relatively simple, you don't need to bring a lot of offerings, just bring fireworks and firecrackers, and then go to the cemetery to pay respects to your ancestors. I hope that our ancestors will bless their descendants in the new year and that they will have good luck with them.
In fact, ancestor worship can also be understood as paying New Year's greetings to ancestors, which is different from traditional sacrifices. In the new year, I also hope that the ancestors will bless you, everything will go well, and you will be rich at the beginning of the year.
In addition, there is a fourth thing to be aware of, which is not to pour dirty water. After the first day of the new year, pouring dirty water is considered unlucky and can even bring bad luck. The dirty water in the house will be concentrated in one place and cleaned up together in the second year of junior high school.
Also, one thing you shouldn't do is ask for an account. In the new year, it is most taboo to ask for debts from others, because it is easy to cause conflicts and troubles. The past year has had plenty of time for you to pay off your debts, and the start of the new year is a time to pursue good fortune and good fortune.
Today is the second year of junior high school, and there are many customs and exquisiteness among the people. These customs actually represent good wishes for the new year, hoping for good luck and good fortune in the new year. May the days ahead be better and better!
