In the traditional culture of our country, the twenty-first day of the first lunar month is a special day. This day is known as the "Four Vulgar Days", that is, "frying, boiling, branding, and sending". On this day, people perform a series of traditional activities to pray for family happiness and a fulfilling life.
Early in the morning, families start to get busy. The first thing to do is the "frying" part. People set up pans in the kitchen to prepare all kinds of food for frying. Among them, fried fritters, fried twists, croquettes, etc. are indispensable. As the oil temperature rises, the aroma comes to the nose and makes people salivate. Fried food is not only crispy and delicious, but also symbolizes "full of gold and jade", symbolizing the continuous growth of family wealth.
Next is the "boiling" part. People will cook rice balls, dumplings and other foods in the pot, which means "reunion" and "harmony and beauty". At the same time, a pot of pig's head meat will be cooked, which is to worship the ancestors and express respect for the ancestors. During the cooking process, people will also add some spices to the pot, such as ginger, green onions, garlic, etc., which means "the way to make money" and pray for family prosperity.
After completing the "frying" and "boiling" steps, people begin the process of "burning". They will use flour and eggs to make a variety of pastries, such as sugar cakes, scallion pancakes, etc. Not only are these pastries crispy and delicious, but they also symbolize the growing wealth of the family. In the process of branding, people will also print various patterns on the pastry, such as fish, bats, etc., which means "more than every year" and "full of blessings".
Finally, there is the "send" link. On this day, people exchange gifts to show their concern and blessings to their family and friends. The gifts given are usually some food or daily necessities, such as candy, pastries, tobacco and alcohol, etc. These gifts not only represent people's emotional exchanges, but also imply blessings and good wishes. In addition, people will also go to temples or ancestral halls to offer incense to their ancestors and pray for their ancestors, expressing their respect and remembrance for their ancestors.
In these four links on the 21st day of the first lunar month, "frying, boiling, branding, and sending" are all traditional activities with profound meanings. Through these activities, people not only enjoy the warmth of food and family affection, but also inherit the traditional culture and values of the Chinese nation. At the same time, these activities also reflect people's pursuit of a better life and their desire for family happiness.
On this special day, families come together to participate in these traditional activities. This atmosphere of family reunion not only deepens family and friendship, but also makes people feel a sense of warmth and tranquility in their busy lives. The inheritance and promotion of this traditional culture will help to unite the national spirit and enhance cultural self-confidence.
In today's society, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the continuous development of technology, many traditional customs are gradually forgotten or ignored. However, the traditional customs of the "four major customs days" on the 21st day of the first lunar month are still preserved and inherited by the broad masses of the people. This is not only because these customs have deep cultural and historical roots, but also because they entrust people's yearning for a better life and the pursuit of family happiness.
Therefore, we should pay more attention to the inheritance and development of these traditional customs. Through education and publicity, more people can understand and participate in these activities, so that traditional culture can be better promoted and inherited. At the same time, we can also combine modern technology and innovative thinking to inject new vitality and connotation into these traditional customs, so that they can be more in line with the needs of the development of the times.
In short, the 21st day of the first lunar month is an important day in China's traditional culture, and the traditional customs of the "Four Customs" carry rich cultural connotations and historical heritage. By inheriting and promoting these customs, we can better understand the history and culture of the Chinese nation, and at the same time, we can also contribute to the realization of the Chinese dream of family happiness, national prosperity and national rejuvenation.
On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, the good wishes of "eating and drinking without worry, family prosperity" run through the entire traditional customs. From fried food to boiled dumplings, dumplings and pork head, to baked pastries and exchanging gifts, every link conveys people's expectations for life and deep affection for family. Through these activities, people not only enjoy the taste of food and the warmth of family affection, but also get spiritual satisfaction and comfort.
In this fast-paced society, people often overlook the importance of family because of the pressure of work and life. However, the traditional custom of the 21st day of the first lunar month reminds us to always pay attention to family happiness and family relationships. Only on the basis of harmonious and happy family can we better face the challenges and difficulties in life. Therefore, we should cherish the time we spend with our families, actively participate in family activities, and work together to create a warm and happy family atmosphere.
In addition, the good wishes of "eating and drinking without worry" also reflect people's pursuit of material life and yearning for a better life. In modern society, with the development of the economy and the improvement of living standards, "eating and drinking without worry" is no longer an unattainable dream. However, we should not only be satisfied with material abundance, but also focus on spiritual fulfillment and upliftment. By learning traditional culture and promoting the national spirit, we can better understand ourselves and the world.
