Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
Small-year customs
Sacrifice to the god of the hearth
Worshipping the god of the stove is one of the most important activities during the year. The purpose of worshipping the god of the stove is to pray for the god of the stove to bless the family with a safe home, a good harvest of grains, and the prosperity of the six animals.
When worshipping the god of the stove, people will place offerings on the stove, such as traditional foods such as stove candy and sugar melon sticky, to show respect to the god of the stove. At the same time, people will also share these foods with their families after the worship, symbolizing the sharing of joy and happiness.
Sweep up the dust
During the small year, a major cleaning should be carried out in order to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and to drive away the ominous.
People will sweep away the dust, garbage, clothes, bedding and other items in the house to welcome the new year with a new look.
Sweeping dust is not only to clean the home environment, but also to remove all unlucky things and pray for good luck and peace in the new year.
Cut the window grille
Window flowers are one of the traditional Chinese folk crafts, and they are also a common custom during the childhood. People will put a variety of beautiful window flowers on the windows, such as auspicious patterns, blessing characters, etc., to show joy and blessings.
Window cutting is not only an art form, but also people's pursuit and expectation of a better life.
Shower and change clothes
During the New Year, people will take a bath and change clothes, which means that they will say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year.
On this day, people will wash away the bad luck and unhappiness of the year, and welcome the new year with a new image and mental state.
Healthy for a young age
Nourishing food to keep out the cold
During the small years, the temperature gradually decreases, and in order to resist the cold, people need to consume some foods that are cold and nourishing.
Common nourishing foods include mutton, beef, ginger, green onions, garlic, etc. These foods can increase the body's calories, improve immunity, and provide the body with sufficient energy.
Wake up in the morning and do tai chi
Tai Chi is one of the traditional Chinese martial arts and a good way to maintain health and fitness. During the early years, doing tai chi in the morning can help people regulate their body functions and strengthen the body's immunity.
Doing tai chi can promote blood circulation, enhance muscle strength, improve the flexibility and coordination of the body, and have great benefits for physical and mental health.
What not to do in a young year?
Don't drink a lot of alcohol
It is not advisable to drink a lot of alcohol during the young years. Alcohol has a great stimulating effect on the body, and excessive drinking can lead to a decline in body functions and affect health.
At the same time, excessive alcohol consumption can also easily lead to accidents, causing unnecessary losses and injuries to individuals and families.
Don't overeat
Overeating is not advisable during the young years. Eating a large amount of food will increase the burden on the body, causing problems such as indigestion and obesity.
In terms of diet, you should pay attention to moderation, balance, and nutrition, choose light and easily digestible foods, and avoid excessively greasy and irritating foods.
Do not overexert yourself
It is not advisable to overexert yourself during the young years. Overexertion can affect the body's immunity and cause various diseases.
During the festival, you should pay attention to rest, arrange your work and rest time reasonably, and ensure sufficient sleep and rest time. At the same time, it is also necessary to participate in some light-hearted recreational activities to relax and relieve fatigue.
