Why is it said that the New Year is the New Year of a child?

There is a saying that the New Year is the New Year of children. This is a misconception. They mistakenly think that the big year is the New Year for adults, and the small year is the New Year for children.

The New Year is actually the "Tuan New Year", so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the Chinese New Year's Eve is called the "Tuan New Year Meal", and the whole family gathers together for men, women and children, how can adults and children celebrate the New Year separately?

So, what's going on with Xiao Nian? Xiao Nian is the first part of the Spring Festival tetralogy: preparing for the New Year. In the old days, Xiao Nian generally did three things:

Wish. When people get up early in the morning, they grind the glutinous rice that has been soaked a day or two ago (with a little sticky rice in the middle) into rice milk and press it dry. In the afternoon, I started to make baba, steaming pot by pot.

In the evening, next to the patio of the main hall house, put on the incense case, light the incense candles, put on the tooth plate for fruit, generally fish, meat, chicken, small three livestock, a few fruits, and **** newly steamed baba, set off firecrackers, and then bow down to the sky, a total thanks in the past year, for various reasons to the heavens Bodhisattva, all kinds of prayers made to the gods and goddesses. The accounts of gods and ghosts must not be owed. Of course, if you have made a wish and have made it clear that you want to go to the temple or Heyue to make a vow, you still have to go to the place where you make a wish.

Sweep mildew (hall ash). That is, sweeping and cleaning. In the township, it is called "beating mildew for the New Year".

Inside and out, up and down, clean and clean. It's just that the sanitation in the stove house is only done after dinner and the stove god. The reason is that the god of the stove is still at home, and he can't do it, so he goes to the sky with dust on his face.

Send the god of the stove. The god of the stove has been working in the mortal world for a year, and he will also go to heaven to rest for a few days. In the past, people generally posted the god of the stove in the kitchen (stove house), on the night of the New Year, people put three "tooth plates" under the statue of the god of the stove, which was also filled with fish and chicken, and then put on two flavors of fruit, lit incense candles, set off firecrackers, knelt down again and again, thanked the god of the stove for his protection in the past year, and prayed that the god of the stove "said good things from heaven and kept safe from the ground".

Because children can have fun in their young years.

I don't think so.

There are reasons for the lack of sheds in the small year:

1. The small year, also known as the festival festival, does not specifically refer to a date, the northern region is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the southern region is the twenty-fourth lunar month, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions call the "twenty-fourth lunar month" and "the night before Chinese New Year's Eve" as the small year, and the Nanjing region calls the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month a small year. Folklore has it that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Lord of the Stove will go to heaven to report the good and evil to the Jade Emperor, so that the Jade Emperor will reward and punish. The common people feel that they must respect the king of the stove, so the folk have the wax moon.

Two. Ten. The "Little Year" of the 3rd and 24th sacrificial stoves pray for peace and good fortune in the coming year.

There are reasons for the big year:

2. The New Year, also known as the New Year, is the most important and solemn traditional festival of the year for Chinese. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a monster called the year, fierce and abnormal, every Chinese New Year's Eve came out to hurt people and animals, people only fled to the mountains to hide, and later people found that the year was most afraid of red, fire and explosion, so every Chinese New Year's Eve, every household pasted red couplets, set off firecrackers, candles were bright, kept more waiting for the year, drove away the year, beasts, over time, this became the custom of the New Year.

Why is there a big year and a small year respectively:

On the 23rd day of the lunar month, the Lunar New Year is the first day of the first lunar month.

Xiao Nian is also called"Sacrificial stove"or"Send the god of the stove. "。The Mongolian chain Soran people worship fire and believe that the god of fire can give happiness and wealth to mankind.

During the New Year, the whole family eats a reunion dinner and drinks reunion wine. In the evening, when the god of the stove is delivered, a little of the various offerings is taken and thrown into the fire, and the whole family prays to the god of fire against the flames.

The Spring Festival of the Han nationality is called by the Mongolian people"Big year"Before that, cattle and sheep should be slaughtered, new clothes should be made, and all kinds of exquisite food should be prepared. On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family sits around a table full of meat, milk, and wine, and a large piece of paper with the name of the ancestor written on it is offered on the table to show that they are together with the ancestors for dinner, singing and dancing"Keep the year"。Missing songs.

From the first to the fifth day of the new year, they stepped on the horses. Bring Hada and fine wine, and greet family and friends one by one.

New Year's greeters often have to bring a small bag of tea with them, meaning"Take joy home"。
