The Spring Festival is coming soon, are there any customs for the Spring Festival in my hometown?

First, the New Year sweeping.

According to the record of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", as early as the Yaoshun era, there was already a custom of sweeping and sitting during the Spring Festival in China. Because "sitting" with.

Chen's homonym, so the New Year sweep has been given a new meaning, with the meaning of "except Chen Buxin", hoping to put everything poor.

Luck and bad luck are all swept out of the house.

Second, paste couplets, blessing words, door gods.

On the afternoon of the day before the Chinese New Year, the children would step on a stool, hold paste and brushes, and paste couplets on the door, and then let the adults below see if they were properly pasted. Some are also horizontally pasted on the horizontal head of the lintel, and the couplets are pasted on the left and right sides of the door. There are also pasted Fuyu on the door, wall, and lintel to express people's yearning for a happy life.

3. Worship ancestors and gods.

The Spring Festival sacrifice to the gods is a custom that spreads throughout our country. The customs of worshipping the gods are similar all over the country, but the purpose is basically the same, which is to pray for good weather in the coming year, good harvest, good fortune and so on.

Fourth, eat dumplings.

In the Spring Festival in our hometown, there is a custom of eating dumplings in the morning, and often put a coin in the dumplings, if anyone eats the coin, everyone will say that he is the most blessed person in the family that year.

Fifth, keep the year and give money.

Chinese New Year's Eve is also one of the most important Spring Festival activities, neighbors and friends get together, or a family together, some play cards, some watch the Spring Festival Gala, everyone sleeps all day, waiting for the dawn together, to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

New Year's money is a favorite custom of children and younger generations. After Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the elders will give coins to the younger ones, and use red thread to weave copper coins into strings and hang them on the children's chests, saying that they can suppress evil spirits and drive away ghosts.

Sixth, New Year's greetings. New Year's greetings are one of the most important events and customs of the Spring Festival. On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, adults and children put on new clothes and hats, visit relatives and friends, greet each other, and wish the New Year a prosperous and prosperous New Year.

New Year's greetings start from home, and after the juniors greet their elders, people greet each other with smiles on their faces when they go out to meet each other.

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 people. How much is the harvest in a year, and what are the plans 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 very lively and festive.

Especially for people nowadays, the Spring Festival is a rare day for family reunion, and the family cherishes this time 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, and they are 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. During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there was 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.

I was born and raised in the city, but I have to go back to my hometown in Nanxiang several times a year.

My hometown is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. In Nanxiang, there are many customs, such as stacking arhats, worshipping ancestors on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, etc., but the most interesting thing for me is "birthday celebration".

This year, my grandfather is 60 years old. When it was time for the big birthday, we were all very happy and ready to celebrate my grandfather's birthday in a lively manner.

On the first day of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we all came to my grandfather's house. This is the most lively time for our children, screaming, running, and making a fuss. The adults were busy, and the kitchen was filled with the sound of chopping boards and the smell of green onions.

In the evening, we opened the table to eat sushi. When I saw that my grandfather, the "old birthday star", did not go to the banquet, I wondered, "Where's grandpa?" Grandpa has gone to **?

When my mother heard me shouting, she smiled and said, "Grandpa is not here!" At the other table!

I was even more puzzled: "Today is my grandfather's birthday, why can't he be there?" As soon as I finished speaking, everyone in the front of the hall burst into laughter.

I blushed and was a little shy. The uncle said: "This is the custom of my hometown, and the old birthday star himself is generally not in the main hall."

Instead, ask a few elders who are good friends with my grandfather to accompany him, and he drinks in another place? ”

After listening to my uncle's words, several of us children quarreled and said, "Uncle, tell us about the customs of celebrating birthdays in our hometown!" Uncle said with a smile

I know how much to say, and it's not very clear! "Okay! "Okay!

My sisters screamed in unison. The uncle poured wine and said: "Birthday celebration is a custom in Nanxiang, generally based on sons-in-law and daughters, and our sons are the companions.

Both men and women can live at the age of thirty, and generally do not do it at forty, nor do they do it at the age of 100. It means 'four', that is, 'death', which is unlucky. 100 years old, too full, 'full of losses', I don't do it.

The uncle poured the wine, sat down and said, "I want to celebrate my birthday." To worship the birthday to set up the longevity hall first, hang the lanterns, hang the word 'longevity' in the middle, and hang the longevity banner on both sides.

In the morning, eat tea eggs and longevity noodles. In the afternoon, the birthday greeting, the old birthday star took the seat to worship. Didn't we pray in the afternoon?

Bye! Bye! We giggled and said ......

I really learned a lot about my grandfather's birthday this time. The customs of my hometown make me unforgettable and full of curiosity!
