And in southern China, tomorrow will be the New Year. As an important festival before the Spring Festival, the Southern New Year has its own unique traditions and customs. Here, let's walk into the southern Xiaonian together and feel the unique beauty.
The Origin and Legend of the Southern Nian].
The southern year originated from the ancient folk custom of sacrificing stoves. Legend has it that the twenty-third day of the lunar month of each year is the day when the king of the stove reports his work to heaven, so the folk have the custom of sacrificing the stove. Over time, the sacrificial stove gradually evolved into a small year in the south.
The customs of the Southern Youth].
In the south, the customs of the small year are rich and colorful. One of the most unique is the "rice cake". Rice cake is a traditional food that is essential for young people in the south, which means "rising every year". Every household will be busy in the kitchen, using glutinous rice flour to make rice cakes of various flavors, such as brown sugar rice cakes, shredded pork rice cakes, etc. In addition, there are traditional customs such as dusting, pasting window grilles, and setting off firecrackers.
The cultural connotation of the southern year].
Nanfang Xiaonian is not only a festival, but also a cultural inheritance. On this special day, family members gather to make rice cakes and clean the house, symbolizing the farewell to the old and the new. At the same time, through the inheritance of these customs, children can better understand and feel the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.
