Friends from all over the country, how do you celebrate the Spring Festival? Let me find out

New Year's greetings from the beginning of the new year.

Shaanxi. In the evening, everyone set off firecrackers and had a reunion dinner.

Spring Festival couplets evolved from the "peach stalks" of the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago. "Huainanzi" says that the peach charm (i.e., peach stem) is carved from peach wood. It is engraved with a mantra to extinguish blessings, which changes once a year.

Five generations later, the Shu Emperor Meng Chang had a whim during the Spring Festival, and asked people to cut the peach tree, and he wrote a couplet on it: "New Year's Day, the festival number Changchun." This is the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China.

As for the official birth of the name Spring Festival couplets, it was in the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built the capital of Jinling, he issued an order on Chinese New Year's Eve: "The house of the public secretary must write a pair of Spring Festival couplets to decorate the New Year."

Later, the Spring Festival couplets were promoted, and when the New Year was celebrated, every household had to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

As the most solemn festival in China, the Spring Festival is attached great importance to all parts of the country, but due to different customs, the Spring Festival customs are not the same in various places.

In old Beijing, there will be a Spring Festival temple fair during the Spring Festival. The most famous temple fairs are Wuxian Wealth Temple, Dongyue Temple, Baiyun Temple ......For example, in the Wuxian God of Wealth Temple, the official activities start from the second day of the first month, and early in the morning, there are many people wearing cotton robes of various satins, coats or shoulders, and thin felt hats into the temple to offer incense.

In Yunnan, they must paste couplets for the New Year, which are couplets of various patterns cut out of red paper. On Chinese New Year's Eve, each person holds a homemade Spring Festival couplet, and then posts it outside the courtyard. They had to listen and sing at the same time, and the Spring Festival couplets of the Bai nationality were called Song Couplets.

In Jiangsu, they put cooked water chestnuts in their rice on Chinese New Year's Eve and dig it out when they eat, which means digging up yuanbao. When they make tea, they put two green olives and drink Yuanbao tea, which means Wishing you prosperity.

In Tianjin, they would soak garlic in vinegar during Laba, which was called Laba vinegar. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, eat dumplings dipped in eight vinegars.

In Hainan, the Spring Festival is called the New Year, and in some places, the first day of the new year is to be vegetarian, and you can't kill, they call this the new year, and you can only see wine and meat on the second day of the new year.

There are many places across the country where the customs are different, so I will introduce so many for you at present, if you are interested, you can also go and learn about it!

The custom is that during the Spring Festival in Beijing, there will be a Spring Festival temple fair, there will be a lot of cotton robes wearing various satin coats to enter the temple to incense, eating dumplings in the northeast is their custom, in the Chinese New Year's Eve night to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, everyone must eat dumplings, in Yunnan they must paste couplets for the New Year, in Tianjin they will use vinegar garlic when they are in Laba, the name is Laba vinegar, in the south they will eat rice balls and eat rice cakes customs, but also set off firecrackers, watch the Spring Festival party.

During the Spring Festival, people generally like to set off fireworks, and then eat a reunion dinner, and the reunion dinner generally chooses to eat dumplings, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, and people will also turn to the fire when they are in the north.

For example, during the Spring Festival, people who will eat dumplings or people in the south will eat rice balls and rice cakes, clean before the Spring Festival, and then clean the glass, eat hemp candy during the New Year, and then there will be a New Year's party.

For example, in the south, there will be the custom of eating rice balls and rice cakes, or firecrackers will be set off during the Spring Festival, or they will watch the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival, and they will wear new clothes during the Spring Festival.

Parents generally eat and wear, have new clothes to wear, have meat to eat and feel very satisfied, the better ones have some toys, and the poor ones can go to the door of people's homes to pick up some unfinished firecrackers, in short, it is a world of difference from now.

The Spring Festival in the 60s was unforgettable. On weekdays, coarse grains are hard to see meaty, and the rich and strong pink meat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve look extraordinarily fragrant.

There is no pocket money on weekdays, and a paper lantern during the Spring Festival, buying a windmill, even if you visit the factory and buy nothing, can make children happy for a year; On weekdays, parents and children are isolated, and it is a blessing in life to be able to have a reunion dinner, even if it is just radish and cabbage.

Collectivity is characteristic of the Spring Festival. Unit invoices to watch movies, organize amusement parties, group worship, street uniform invoice certificates, purchase books, and organize cleaning. Pushing open different doors, the dishes on each table are similar, the furniture in each room is similar, the clothes are similar, and the desire for life is also the same.

In my hometown, the Spring Festival is usually spent on Chinese New Year's Eve, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and paying New Year's greetings. The Spring Festival means the end of the year and the beginning of another year for the common people. How much is the harvest in one year and how to plan for the coming year, so this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new year is particularly important for the people, and it is also a special lively and festive time.

Especially for people nowadays, the Spring Festival is a rare day for family reunion, and the family cherishes this day very much. In our place, we have to prepare the New Year's goods four days before the Chinese New Year. Then the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be prepared.

We pay special attention to the amount of food on the table. A good number represents good luck in the coming year. Therefore, the dishes at home are generally even-numbered, generally eight, ten, and twelve.

Eight means that eight is inseparable from the hair, and the next year will be rich, ten means perfect, and twelve means that every month of the coming year will be prosperous. When eating the Chinese New Year's Eve spine dumpling rice, there is a particularly interesting thing. That is, whether it is chicken feet or duck feet, you must give them to the pillar of the family, because eating more claws can catch more wealth in the coming year.

Of course, during the meal, there is also a part of the New Year's money that children especially like.

After eating, I will basically talk to the neighbors and talk about what each family eats for Chinese New Year's Eve. Then when it gets dark, it's time for the family to sit together and watch the Spring Festival Gala, which is especially precious for people who go out to work. Many families don't spend much time together throughout the year.

When watching the Spring Festival Gala, parents can ask their children how they work, and children can also accompany their parents well, which may be the biggest significance of the Spring Festival Gala. The next morning, every child would be knocked on the door with a bag in his hand. It's a New Year's greeting.

When the children knock on the door with their bags, the first thing they have to say when the owner opens the door is, "Happy New Year, I'm here to greet you." The host would give the children some candy or fruit, and each child's bag would be full in the morning. That's a lot of fun for kids.

Spring Festival is the largest and most solemn festival of the year for Chinese. In the era of food scarcity, many people worked hard for a year in order to have a big year, so there is a saying that "it is better to be poor for a year than to be poor for a day".

On the day of the Chinese New Year, no matter how far the way home is, you must rush home to reunite with your family; In order to celebrate the New Year, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you must prepare New Year's goods.

On the day of the Spring Festival, every household sticks up the Spring Festival couplets, builds fires, sets off firecrackers, and sacrifices to ghosts and gods. I still remember when I was a child, I wrote couplets by myself, cut window flowers by myself, and my father bought back pork and mutton, big roosters, big carp of the Yellow River with a large door leaf, as well as all kinds of cannons, firecrackers, candy melon seeds. Grandpa built the fire himself and told us not to poke the fire.

Two big red lanterns will be hung at the gate.

The Spring Festival has been prepared since Laba. Laba eats Laba porridge and drowns Laba garlic. Entering the twentieth month of the lunar month, people began to fold their fingers and count how long it was gone.

Twenty-three is the small year, sacrifice to the god of the stove, eat hemp sugar, twenty-four sweep the house, twenty-five make tofu, twenty-six boil big meat, twenty-seven kill roosters, twenty-eight noodle hair, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns, thirty nights of Ming code on the code to play for a night, after keeping Chinese New Year's Eve is the first day of the new year, go out to welcome the god of wealth and joy, to relatives to pay New Year's greetings. The girl who got married in the second year of junior high school went back to her parents' house until the fifteenth day of the lantern festival and ate the Lantern Festival.

The customs of Datong, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, there are lively programs, stilts, dry boats, small car lights, and flower drum teams all go to the street, and the crowds of people on the street are shopping to see the excitement, and an ancient city is boiling.

This year's Spring Festival coincides with the epidemic, and many people do not prepare New Year's goods, so what do they have to eat. The new clothes in the store can't be sold, the price of pigs, beef and mutton has been reduced, there are not many people who buy it, just a little enough to eat, everything is simple, and the New Year's flavor is gone. Fireworks and firecrackers are forbidden on the top, and the whole city is quiet in the approaching year.

In previous years, the Spring Festival Gala on TV was the most attractive, but this year people don't pay attention to it, and this year is a little sad.
