Who will tell me the origin of jumping on the fire on Chinese New Year s Eve

In ancient times, legend has it that there was a monster with a long head and antennae, and it was fierce and unusually called Nian. Whenever it comes, people are not at peace. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the monster called the New Year came again, and people packed their luggage, hid, and fled.

On the same road, he met an old man, who was very pitiful, and everyone ignored him, only a mother-in-law persuaded him to leave quickly. The old man told the mother-in-law that he had a way to get rid of the Nian beast, and that all he had to do was stay at home. The mother-in-law thought he was sick and ignored him.

After a while, the old man and his mother-in-law knew that they could not hide, so they slipped back home. Nian soon chased to his mother-in-law's house, but Nian was frightened back, because the old man asked her mother-in-law to put on red clothes and set off firecrackers. Later, they told everyone the secret, and everyone was no longer afraid of the New Year.

To commemorate this day, people call the beginning of the year the New Year. Since then, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, families have pasted red couplets and set off firecrackers, which has become the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk.

What I heard here is that when the Yuan Dynasty was not in the early Ming Dynasty, the three families raised one yuan, that is, the three peasants wanted to raise a yuan soldier, and they used the brazier jumping on Chinese New Year's Eve as a code to kill the yuan soldiers together"The three families raised one yuan, and they were killed in one night"

Of course, jumping the brazier has also burned the fire to the bad luck of the year, and it is also the beginning of the new year, and the symbolic luck in the new year will become more and more prosperous.

When the folk customs on our side jump into the fire, the rumors recited are: Jump out, be talented, jump in, and make a fortune

Symbolize the prosperity of the new year.

Volcano life is getting better and better, and there is also a meaning that everything will go well in the new year by jumping over the volcano, and we still have 23 volcano jumping here

In the coming year, life will be prosperous, and the meaning of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters.

Jumping over the fire is a traditional folk culture in Guangdong during the Spring Festival every year. In the first month of the lunar calendar, the villagers worshipped the first, worshiped the gods, and visited the gods at the same time"Jump over the fire"Activity. It entrusts the Chinese working people with a good wish to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

The custom of jumping over the fire is an important embodiment of the belief of our ancestors in worshipping fire. In ancient times, productivity was extremely backward, people could only eat raw food, could not protect themselves from the cold at night, and faced the threat of wild beasts at any time. With the advent of natural fire, people's living standards have gradually improved, with fire, you can eat cooked food, and you can also use fire to illuminate the darkness, resist the cold, drive away wild animals, and eliminate epidemics.

In an era of low productivity, the constant burning of fires gave people a sense of security, and over time, people became deeply dependent on fire. As a result, the ancient ancestors began to fear fire, worship fire, and use fire, hoping to communicate with heaven and earth, celebrate a good harvest, drive away diseases, and eliminate bad luck through fire. With awe and gratitude for fire, people revered fire as a god, and gradually the worship of the god of fire came into being.

In the future, at the end of the year and the harvest season, the people will light fires and torches in a grand blessing ceremony, and then sing and dance in front of the statue of the god of fire, praying sincerely, hoping that God will bless the family with safety. It can be said that from the ancient stool to the present, fire has always played an extremely important role in the development of human society, and the reputation of envy has even affected everyone's daily life.
