What are the unique customs in Hubei?

Chinese New Year is a tradition, a custom and a memory ... Every place in Hubei has its own unique customs.

Hubei has unique customs.

1, Hubei people drink chicken soup for the first meal during the Spring Festival.

It symbolizes "peace in Thailand". Drinking chicken soup for the first meal in the new year can bring good luck and blessings to your family. People who eat chicken alone are also very particular. People who are masters of their own affairs should eat chicken bones, which means "getting ahead"; The main labor force eats chicken feet, which means "grabbing money in the New Year"; "Young people" want to eat chicken wings, which means they can "fly high".

Eating chicken in the New Year is because the word "chicken" means "auspiciousness" and "sacrifice", which is easy to understand and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Eating chicken in the New Year is for good luck. Chicken wings, which means flying high and making great achievements. Drinking chicken soup for the first meal during the Spring Festival symbolizes "peace in Thailand". Among them, the main labor force also eats chicken feet, which means "grasping wealth in the New Year", and "promising young people" eats chicken wings, which means that they can fly high and their families eat chicken bones, which means "getting ahead".

People continue this custom and traditional culture by eating chicken on New Year's Day. Drinking chicken soup in the New Year symbolizes the peace of Qingtai; In Jiangxi province, drinking soup on the seventh day of the first month of each year means good luck for one year. Soup is mainly water, water is wealth, and soup is full of utensils, which symbolizes wealth. A bowl of hot warm soup on New Year's Eve not only makes New Year's Eve happy, but also symbolizes the prosperity of the new year and the auspicious meaning of happiness from now on.

2. People in Zigui, Hubei eat fried Artemisia annua for the first meal.

Take its homonym "Baihao" for good luck. In Jingzhou and Shashi, Hubei Province, eating eggs for the first meal means "truth and good luck". In case of guests, you should eat two half-cooked "poached eggs". You can see the yolk through the egg white, which means "gold is covered with silver, gold is covered with silver, and gold is covered with silver".

I know Artemisia ordosica can be used to make Artemisia ordosica Baba. There is a tradition in southern Anhui. After grinding glutinous rice and Artemisia ordosica into powder, add stuffing such as bacon and sour bamboo shoots to make chubby buns. But they ate it around Tomb-Sweeping Day, while Zigui people began to eat it during the Spring Festival.

In Shashi, Jingzhou and other places in Hubei, there is a strange custom of eating the first meal of the New Year, that is, eating poached eggs.

This means that in the new year, family members can be "true and lucky". Not only family, friends and relatives come, but also join the ranks of eating eggs, and the number should be increased to two, and the choice of eggs is also very particular. It must be a poached egg that is very soft and can see the yolk through the protein, which means "gold is covered with silver, gold is covered with silver, and gold is covered with silver". In the new year, everyone will have good luck. Here, I remind everyone not to be greedy for egg yolk, especially those with high cholesterol.

4. Huangshi, Hubei; Wedding room layout

There is a basic requirement in Huangshi wedding custom in the arrangement of specific wedding rooms, that is, whether it is a building or a house in a rural home, red comprehensive decoration should be selected on bedding, curtains, bedding and quilts, so as to get very good colors.

Of course, there have been many changes in modern beds and quilts, but the man must prepare a set of ordinary green silk quilts for men and women at home, which is the basic preparation for marriage and should be folded and put on the bed. When the bride wears an evening dress, there should be a cushion in the middle of the bed for sitting, which is a key point in the layout of the wedding room.

5. Enshi: Killing pigs and snoring in the New Year.

Enshi is inhabited by Tujia, Miao, Dong and other ethnic minorities. The national culture here is like a wonderful flower, showing its unique charm.

The preparations for the New Year in Enshi probably began after the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Almost every family has to kill pigs, and when they kill pigs on holidays, they will invite their neighbors to their homes to eat, which is also the time that children expect.

In addition to killing pigs, it is playing rice cakes. The glutinous rice just out of the pot is delicious. Put it in a printing box, and then press it hard, and it becomes round glutinous rice with many beautiful patterns. Every household in Enshi has Yin He with different designs, as well as the words Fulu Xi Shou.

6. Wuhan: On New Year's Eve, it is a "sweet day" until the early morning.

On New Year's Eve, Wuhan people will put up couplets, paste blessings, stick grilles, worship ancestors and have a family reunion dinner. The whole family will sit around and hum while eating until the bell rings. Firecrackers will be set off at 0: 00, and the younger generation will pay New Year greetings to the elders, who will give them the prepared lucky money.

At dawn on the first day of the first month, as soon as the whip is released, you can go out with the door half open (leave one end of the money paper on the door). I went out to pay a New Year call.

New Year's greetings in Wuhan are also exquisite. On the first day, I visited my grandparents' uncle. The next day, I worshipped my grandparents; In-laws who worship their wives on the third day; Visiting relatives and friends on the fourth day; On the fifth day, it was the birthday of the God of Wealth, and the shops resumed business to pick up the God of Wealth (quite a few businessmen went to Guiyuan Temple to burn incense and pray for the wealth of the New Year). Dumping the garbage piled up on the sixth day of the sixth day is called "sending it to the poor".

7. Huanggang: You can't wash your hair and take a bath when you worship your ancestors on the New Year's Day.

In Huanggang, on New Year's Eve, a pair of oranges and silvers are posted in the morning, and people keep the old year at night. At midnight, people will set off fireworks to celebrate. From midnight to dawn, there are almost fireworks, and the noise comes and goes!

As for the schedule of Chinese New Year, the custom in Huanggang area is to pay a New Year call in one's own village on the first day of New Year's Day, and to pay homage to grandpa and uncle the next day. You can't wash your hair and take a bath, you can't sweep out the garbage at home, and you can't break ground on the first day. But also eat the leftovers from the New Year's Eve dinner to show that there is still more than one year.

8. Huangshi: You can't eat the fish with the "Three Holies" reunion dinner.

The Spring Festival in Huangshi basically begins on New Year's Eve. On this day, the whole family got together and had a sumptuous reunion dinner. New Year's Eve generally uses "three complete" (whole chicken, whole fish and whole duck), "three high" (fish cake, meat pie and mutton cake) and "three bowls" (fish balls, meatballs and lotus root balls). In recent years, people put a hot pot in the middle of the table, which is steaming, adding a festive atmosphere.

Dinner time is mostly before dark, but also in the evening. Before eating, people light firecrackers outside the door and then close the door to prepare for dinner.

In the past, people in Wuhan celebrated the Spring Festival, and there were definitely three dishes, three cakes and three pills on the dining table. These three foods refer to whole chicken, whole fish and whole duck, whole cake refers to fish cake, meat pie and mutton cake, and three pills refer to fish balls, meatballs and lotus root balls. No pills, no fish, no soup. Now everyone likes to put a hot pot in the middle of the table, set off firecrackers, and have a steaming dinner with the whole family sitting around. It was really fun!

Everyone sits around the dinner table. Old people should worship their ancestors first, put some bowls and chopsticks on them and invite them to sit down. After the ancestor worship ceremony, everyone began to eat around the table. Not allowed to eat fish for more than a year in order to pray. The family ate and chatted, laughing and laughing.
