Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian, after today, it is the New Year.
Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and there are still 7 days left, and we will usher in the year of the dragon. In some areas, this day is known as the "Little Year". There are also some southern regions that will usher in a small year tomorrow. Why is the year divided into north and south? What are the particularities in various places?
The date of the small year is different in the north and south
On which day should I spend my new year? In fact, the history of the 24th lunar month is longer. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda has this description in "Sacrificial Stove Words": "In ancient times, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the stove king wanted to say things. The cloud car wind horse is small and stays, and the family has a cup and plate ceremony. ”
For example, the people of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province are the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month. The twenty-fourth night of the lunar month, Suzhou people call the twenty-fourth night, is the day of sending the stove. In Suzhou, every year on the 24th day of the lunar month, there is a "small year", making dumplings, sending dumplings, and eating dumplings is a necessary "New Year's flavor". Suzhou people have the custom of eating dumplings to welcome the New Year on the "Twenty-fourth Night", and the whole family shares the "Twenty-four Regiment" at night, which means that the family is reunited and happy.
There is a saying that in order to save expenses, the Qing Dynasty emperor sacrificed to the god of fire on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and also sacrificed to the god of the stove.
The people have been affected, and over time new customs have been formed, and there is a saying that has been circulated for a long time: "three officials, four people, four boats, five".
It is said that in ancient times, the eunuch's house was on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the ordinary people were on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and the water boater was on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the north was greatly affected by the "official three".
Gradually, the schedule of the small year was adjusted.
