What do you mean by putting a lamp on a boy? Presumably everyone is familiar with lanterns. Hanging lanterns will make everyone feel happy. It is also a traditional custom to light a boy. Let's see what it means to put a lamp on a boy.

What does it mean to turn on the light when a boy is born? 1 The 10th day of the first month is also the Lantern Festival. This is an ancient custom that can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Generally, "Lantern Festival" lasts for five days, and * * * is divided into three steps, that is, lighting, warming and leaving lights. From 10: 00 on the first day of the first month, it is also called "turning on the light". This kind of lighting is specially for children to pray for peace.

"Cenxi County Records" records that "every year on the tenth day of the first month, all families who have added households and were born before the tenth day of the first month of that year and have reached the full moon should hang lanterns on this day to celebrate". "Shang" means "hanging" and "Deng" means "Ding", so a boy at home is called "Tianding", which is homophonic with "Tiandeng".

It means that a boy was born at home the year before last, and the child was full moon before the tenth day of the first month. On the tenth day of the first month, we should "light up", that is, "add lights". If there is no full moon, it will be the tenth day of the first month of next year.

When lighting a lamp, it is usually the father of the child who carries firecrackers from his door and puts them on the roots of the community in the village, and then hangs lanterns in the lamp shed with the boy's name written on them. "She" refers to the place where the landlord lives in the village.

The elders in charge of writing genealogy in the village will write the name of the boy on the lantern into the genealogy after seeing the lantern. On the day of "lighting", we were the first to worship our ancestors, that is, to tell our ancestors that "more people have been added" to our family. And to hold a banquet to entertain the villagers, commonly known as "please light wine."

After putting lanterns, you should "warm the lanterns", that is, after the eleventh day of the first month, the elders should watch them in front of the lanterns in the morning and evening, and cheer and worship the lanterns to ensure that the lanterns will not go out day and night, indicating that the incense will continue. On the 16th day of the first month, lanterns are taken down and hung in ancestral halls or living rooms, which is called "falling lanterns".

This custom is to hope that children can be protected by their ancestors and landowners and grow up healthily. The reason why Earth Day lights up is because the land is the mother of all things and the place where all things are born. Therefore, "there are more children at home, and the lights are on every day" is an expectation for children.

What is the meaning of the earth and the sun?

Numbers range from one to ten, nine is the pole of yang, ten is the tail of yin, yang is the sky, and yin is the ground, so the ninth day of the first month is the "sky" and the tenth day of the first month is the "ground". Earth Day is the birthday of the land and the birthday of the stone. The ancients believed that the basic elements that make up everything are wood, fire, earth, gold and water, among which spring wood, summer fire, autumn gold and winter water are the characteristics of the four seasons.

The earth was born in four seasons, and in orientation, it corresponds to the Huanglong in the sky, so the earth is the repository of all things. Therefore, the last month of each season belongs to the earth, that is, the four months of "Chen Xu Ugliness". Therefore, the original wood, fire and water are Tai Chi, and the same as "wood, fire and water" are soil, that is, the four images are soil.

So metals can be produced in the soil, metals can flow out of the water, and trees can grow. Trees can make fires, and at the same time, wood is soil after decay, and soil after gold rust is exhausted. When the fire burns out, water enters the soil. So the five elements all circulate in the soil. Of course, people are also composed of five elements, so they have to be buried to be safe and circulate.

So "Earth" is the birthplace of all things, and "Earth Day" is also "Earth Day" and "Stone Day". Therefore, it is a custom to "recognize the stone" every day. The so-called "recognizing the stone father" is to let the children recognize the stone as their father, because the stone is extremely hard and can protect the healthy growth of the children, which means that the children are as strong and long-lasting as the stone.

One of the most important customs in Meizhou is to invite lanterns.

Accompanied by the gongs and drums team and the dragon and lion dance team, firecrackers rang all the way, and the guns kept "inviting" lanterns.

Please go home and put the lanterns solemnly on the table of the Eight Immortals. On the day when lanterns are put on, "Ding Shou" will gather other families to invite lanterns and hang them under the roof beam of Gong Zu Hall, and hang lanterns symbolizing men. The number of lanterns depends on the man born in the previous year. Add five new men, add five lanterns, seven boys are seven lanterns, and so on.

Of course, "carrying lanterns" means simply carrying lanterns. In fact, the ceremony of carrying lanterns is the climax of the whole activity, grabbing white flowers before carrying lanterns; When lanterns are lit, firecrackers and fireworks will be set off, and dragon and lion dances will be held. ...

Take Zhanjiang and Meizhou as examples. Both of them are traditional folk customs of putting lanterns, but their "presentation" is quite different.
