The meaning of this proverb is that Chinese New Year's Eve should be three not empty, that is, people are not empty, meals are not empty, and lights are not empty. As long as these three points are achieved, the coming year will be safe and sound, people and wealth will be prosperous, and the family will not be poor.
First, people are not empty. According to folk customs, this day is the time for family reunions, at this time every family has to get together to welcome the New Year, even if the family can not go home, they should also play a ** on this day, talk about the blessings of the New Year, which means that people are prosperous. On the contrary, if the house is empty on this day, people do not go home, and they do not drive in the warm and cold, it means that the family is scattered, and there is a phenomenon of falling in the middle of the house, it is not a good sign.
Second, the meal is not empty. The so-called rice is not empty, but in fact, the rice bowl is not empty. In ancient times, the rice bowl was the food ration of the family, and whether the family froze to death or starved to death depended entirely on the rice in the rice bowl. Therefore, every Chinese New Year's Eve, every household must fill the rice jar, which means that there is a bumper harvest of grain and no shortage of grain. If the rice jar at home is empty on this day, then there is a risk that you will not have enough to eat the next year, which means that you will be poor. For people, this is simply disadvantageous.
Third, the lights are not empty. We all know that every household on Chinese New Year's Eve should put up lights, this is a folk custom, why? Because, on the one hand, the lamp represents light and hope, and the lamp on Chinese New Year's Eve is a glorious symbol of the coming year; On the other hand, the ancients believed that lamps could ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and tonight, as long as there is a lamp in the home, it will be far from disasters in the coming year. If there are no lights in the house on this day, it means that the family is not lucky. In addition, the light also has the role of guiding the way for the ancestors, so that the ancestors can return home to reunite with their families to protect their families.
