Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, and send away the stove king to welcome the auspicious. --Inscription.
Speaking of Xiao Nian, it is a traditional festival of the Han nationality in our country, and the folk are also known as Xie Zao, the sacrificial stove festival, and the stove prince. In different places, the date also varies, on the 23rd or 24th day of the lunar month every year.
Today's small year represents the end of the old year and the beginning of the Spring Festival overture.
Xiao Nian, also commonly known as the early years, is the last rehearsal of the New Year, the pedestrians and vehicles on the street, obviously more than usual, is about to open the curtain of the New Year, the smell of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, you can see everywhere at the door of the business house on the adjacent street, put out various styles of New Year's goods to decorate the joy of the New Year.
After the small year, every day is the year, the small year in the north, the family sacrifices to the god of the stove, asking him to go to heaven to say more good words, auspicious words start from the day of the small year, the overture of spring will be opened, and the flavor of the year is getting stronger and stronger.
In our north, as soon as the New Year passes, it feels like the Spring Festival is really coming, and the New Year is the prelude to the entire Spring Festival.
Listen to folklore, every year on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Lord of the Stove wants to go to heaven to tell the Jade Emperor about the good and evil of the family, in order to let the Lord of the Stove be able to say a few words in front of the Jade Emperor, he sealed his mouth with maltose, and bought his heart with wine.
Winter is gradual, the New Year is warm, the New Year, eat dumplings, and good luck turns.
Today's small year, there is also the tradition of "official three people four", that is to say, the official family is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the common people's family is the twenty-fourth of the lunar month, like the north, which was the political center before the Southern Song Dynasty, and was heavily affected by the official atmosphere, so the small year is mostly the twenty-third of the lunar month; On the contrary, the south is far away from the political center, and eating tangyuan in the young year is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.
Dumplings have always been an indispensable food for northern festivals, eating dumplings on this day in the new year, often listening to the old man, but also taking the meaning of "sending off dumplings to the wind".
On this day of the New Year, in our north, there is a custom of drinking wine and eating dumplings, not only for warmth, but also for a good meaning of a happy life, drink a sip of Wuliangye, eat a full of oily dumplings, dumplings, it is really delicious in the world, the family sits idly, drinks slowly, and is full of happiness.
Generally in the north, the folk have "rich and no money, shave the head for the New Year", there is a custom in the north, the child does not cut his hair in the first month, said that it is not good for the uncle, to wait until February 2, the day when the dragon raises his head, to go to the haircut, before and after the twenty-third day of the lunar month, everyone has to bathe and cut the hair, it is a more suitable time, the hair salon is quite busy at this time, everyone wants to be clean, beautiful and bright New Year.

In the past, when I was a child, there was a folk custom of pasting window flowers on this day, some cut them by themselves, and some bought them from the market.
Loyal to the traditional New Year's flavor of "paper-cutting" between my fingers, I also like to paste this kind of window grille, like this traditional beauty, a window of beauty, joyful mood, can also be used as a decorative embellishment of daily life, setting off the festive atmosphere.
