What are the customs in your hometown on New Year's Day? Isn't it interesting?

On New Year's Day, customs vary from place to place. Let's talk about the customs of our village and see what's different from yours.

This is the countryside of Weifang City, Shandong Province. On New Year's Day, you have to get up early, put on new clothes, wash up and set a table in the yard. The offerings are candy, fruit and rice cakes. Then serve the jiaozi who just came out of the pot and light three pillars of high incense. Then turn on all the lights in the house. Now they are all electric, and there are red lanterns on the high poles in the yard. The whole yard is brightly lit, which means that the coming year will be bright and all the best.

Get up early on New Year's Day, and children are not allowed to speak loudly to avoid saying unlucky things. Do not clean up the garbage, do not pour dirty water, but you can set off firecrackers.

Before dawn, you should pay New Year greetings to your elders, but you don't have to kneel and kowtow. Grandparents will distribute candy and lucky money to their grandchildren. In the past, when the conditions were poor, eating a lollipop was a luxury, mostly a few popcorn and black dates, and few people could eat a few peanuts. Lucky money is 20 points for boys and 0/0 for girls. In the past, the old people were backward in thinking and preferred boys to girls.

This was decades ago. Now that the conditions are good, the lucky money is not small, and snacks are not rare. Communication is also developed, e-commerce is faster, and all kinds of seasonal fruits are available. Only you can't think of it, and you can't buy it without it.

You don't have to cook alone throughout the first day of junior high school. Jiaozi, who has a New Year's Eve dinner, eats for one day; This is something I didn't dare to think about in that poor age.

There are many details, let's just say so! Welcome friends from all over the world to chat and celebrate the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Day, I get up early to worship God, and then the children go to pay a New Year call. Adults clean up the house, cook, eat noodles at noon and eat jiaozi in the afternoon. 1. Worship gods. Our family usually worships heaven and earth (heaven refers to the Jade Emperor and earth refers to the Empress Dowager), the God of Wealth, Zhang Xian, the Kitchen God, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the land father-in-law.

Heaven and earth are generally for the safety of the family, a year of good weather, a bumper harvest of land and fruitful results.

As for the god of wealth, people generally hope that the family's financial resources will roll in this year. Almost every household in China has this shrine, which is also the largest immortal in China.

Zhang Xian is one of the main auspicious gods in China. Generally speaking, there are couplets on both sides of the statue of Zhang Xian. The first couplet is that Zhang Xian opens the bow every day until the next day. The second part is to beat the dog in the cloud and bless future generations. Crosscutting is to protect future generations. This immortal is well-known in the tradition of China, because China advocates full house for children and grandchildren, so the immortals who bless their children will have fragrance.

Kitchen god, kitchen god, kitchen god is in charge of life. According to China folklore, Kitchen God reported to heaven on the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month and returned to earth on the 4th day of the first month. It is the lowest fairy in myths and legends. Legend has it that Kitchen God will report everything that happened in his family in the past year to the heaven, and convey God's will to reward good and punish evil.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, a bodhisattva in China mythology, is a very kind god and is called Guanyin Bodhisattva with great mercy. China also has a very strong fragrance.

Father-in-law of the land, also known as the Land Lord, is a fairy who was in charge of one side of the land in the ancient legend of China. He lives underground and is the lowest among the immortals. As the saying goes, "Don't treat the land god as a fairy". In China, there are various images of folk land gods with different personalities. As a local protector, it is popular all over the country. In ancient times, there was a phenomenon of worshipping the land god where people lived.

2. It is the happiest time for children to worship God, and all the children in the family go to pay New Year greetings together. When you arrive at someone else's house, the rich family will give you 5 yuan. 10 yuan. A slightly worse person gives you 1 yuan 2 yuan. If you order more, send some steamed bread to God. Whether it is money or steamed bread, it represents people's good wishes.

At noon, we usually eat noodles and longevity noodles. Those noodles all represent good wishes for the New Year. According to the old people, eating longevity noodles on New Year's Day will make the old people and children feel safe all year round.

4. jiaozi will eat at night. Because it means "making friends when you are young", it is very popular with people. It means the alternation of the old and the new, and it is also a big feast that must be eaten according to God's will. Otherwise, God will remove your name from the world of Yin and Yang, and you will become an unrecorded ghost after death.

We have no special customs in eastern Henan, and there are mainly the following contents in the memory of teenagers.

First, on the morning of the first day, before dawn, they began to cook jiaozi. After serving, the first bowl must be given to the elders. If several sons in a family are married and married, each daughter-in-law will secretly compete with each other, and whoever appears filial first.

Second, before the sun comes out, it is best not to go to the toilet, saying that it will be celebrated.

Third, it will take an afternoon to clean up the firecrackers. If it is a symbol of financial ruin, it will be poor this year.

That's all I remember.

The old jujube tree in the picture is the historical witness of my family. 1938, Chiang Kai-shek grilled the Yellow River and the whole family fled. When I went back, my old father found a small jujube tree in a highland outside the village and moved it to my home, which has grown to this day. )

We are in Xingtai County, Xingtai City, in the south of Hebei Province. Speaking of New Year's Day, there are indeed many customs.

One is getting up early. People are diligent and spring is early. On the first day of the first year, people get up at four or five o'clock. After putting on new clothes and socks, you should kowtow to your ancestors first, then pay New Year greetings to your parents, grandparents and give lucky money. Don't make any noise after getting up, so as not to disturb the spirit of your ancestors. After setting off firecrackers, I began to go out to pay New Year greetings to the villagers. At this time, I can speak loudly.

Second, prostitutes don't pay New Year's greetings. Unmarried women do not pay New Year greetings to others, while married wives only kowtow to their parents-in-law, grandparents and family members, and do not pay New Year greetings to villagers.

The third is not to pay New Year greetings to bedridden patients.

Fourth, peers don't pay New Year greetings. If you are the same age as your peers, you don't need to pay a New Year call. However, the age gap is particularly large, and now I will go to worship to show my respect.

Fifth, you must eat jiaozi in the morning. On the morning of New Year's Day, you must eat jiaozi. Because jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, eating jiaozi is the import of the ingot, and the more it crosses. There are also coins wrapped in jiaozi, and whoever eats them is blessed.

Sixth, when eating, we should respect God, spirit, ancestors and ancestors first. In front of ancestors, ancestors and gods, in addition to offering sacrifices and articles, you should hold the rice three times and four times before the ancestors and gods for dinner every time.

Seventh, on New Year's Day, there is no broom, no needle and thread.

Here, first of all, people put on new clothes and shoes on New Year's Day. Opening the door in the morning to welcome money, setting off firecrackers and welcoming the New Year indicates that the door will be opened. The second is to pay New Year greetings. There is a saying that parents worship their mother-in-law on the first day, pay New Year greetings to their elders on the first day, and pay New Year greetings to their parents-in-law on the second day; The third is to eat jiaozi. Our jiaozi here is shaped like a gold ingot, which indicates that the new year's financial resources are rolling in.

There are also some taboos: hide some knives and scales on New Year's Eve, and don't see them on the first day; Clean up the house on the evening of the 30th, and don't sweep the floor on the first day; Do not eat rice wine (because rice wine is also called mash); You can't say anything unlucky. In ancient times, people asked for help on the first day. We have another joke here:

It is said that there is a woman who can't talk very well. On the first day of every year, the man can't talk. One year, the host thought of a way to induce the hostess to say something auspicious. On the first day of New Year's Day, we opened the gate, set off firecrackers, and went to the main shrine to burn incense. After the incense, I climbed the wooden ladder (the man put a small wooden ladder next to the shrine in advance) and asked the hostess, what do you think of me? The hostess said, nothing. Why did you climb the ladder? The host climbed up step by step and continued to ask the hostess, what do you think of me like this? The hostess said, "You went to the last gear (time) and went to another gear (time)!" The host fainted on the spot and fell off the wooden ladder! Do you know what the host wants the hostess to say?

We are in Longzhong, west of Liupan Mountain, and most of the rural folk culture is dominated by Qin culture, which is similar to Shaanxi. On New Year's Day, there are the following folk activities: First, open the door early and around five o'clock in the evening, indicating that this family is diligent and not lazy in the new year; The second is a group outing, which is the most lively scene in the whole village in a year. The sun is on the side of the mountain, and the whole village is dressed up, beaming and rushing out. Elderly people, with incense boxes in their hands, gather on the threshing floor or open space, leading animals with big red flowers or driving sheep (there are no animals and sheep now, only cars with red flowers). People greet each other when they meet, and the young people have already squared up. In villages with community fires, they also jump lions and rock boats to play with community fires. After people gather, they put away the incense offerings brought by each family, presided over by the old people in the village, and bowed down to the Western God to welcome the New Year and pray for good luck. Travel is the carnival of the whole village. On the premise of ensuring safety, how to have fun until lunch time slowly dissipates; The third is to eat New Year's Eve. At home or at home, who do I have an appointment with to hold a banquet and have a New Year's Eve dinner? This shows the unity and harmony of this family or family. I will take the initiative to arrange myself in a good family or career family. Fourth, the ancestors are sacrificed at home first, that is, the incense table or genealogy at home (usually hung in the home of the elderly or placed on the table, and some people stay at home when something happens in the twelfth lunar month). After that, they paid a series of New Year greetings according to their generations. When their families grew up, the ranks of New Year greetings were also vast, just talking and laughing. After New Year's greetings, young people get together to play cards, set up a wine field to play basketball, women dance square dance or yangko, and dolls get together to play. On the first day of the first month, play is the main thing, and there is no farming. All indoor activities are limited to the clan, and we don't go to other people's homes.

Today is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, tomorrow is the Northern Year, and the day after tomorrow is the Southern Year. There are only a few days before the Spring Festival. As the most important festival in China, there are naturally many customs, especially New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. @ Fingertips Three Farmhouses are in the rural areas of eastern Anhui, giving you Kangkang. What are the customs on New Year's Day?

Speaking of New Year's Day, let's talk about New Year's Eve first, because many customs are interlinked. New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion. Early in the morning, the men at home will bring salted pig's head, salted pig's foot, salted pig's tail, salted chicken, salted duck and other bacon to the nearby landlord's house, burn incense and set off firecrackers, and worship the landlord first. After that, he was carried back to worship his ancestors at home and cooked.

Children at home will eat a piece of pig's head meat after getting up, to be exact, before getting up, which means that they will eat meat every day in the coming year, and children will not be greedy. In addition, the hostess at home should make all kinds of meat dishes on this day, not only the New Year's Eve, but also the first month. Others, such as posting Spring Festival couplets and having a reunion dinner, are similar everywhere, so I won't go into details. On New Year's Eve, after dinner, every household sets off fireworks, closes the financial door and prepares to go to bed.

So, what are the special customs on New Year's Day? As mentioned above, closing the door at the end of New Year's Eve is called financial closing. After this door is closed, it won't open again that night. According to local customs, opening the door before 12 at night will make the money run away. Then, on New Year's Day, opening the door again is opening the door. It is said that whoever drives can get rich early. Before you open the door, you should pay attention. Generally, it is necessary to blow off the gate with small firecrackers before opening it. Some families don't sleep on new year's eve, which is called shou sui; Wait until midnight to open the door directly. This is called robbing money. Of course, firecrackers are inevitable when you open the door. Therefore, from the night of New Year's Eve to the morning of New Year's Day, firecrackers almost never stopped.

You can't kill on New Year's Day. Eat dumplings after getting up, be sure to be solid and not stuffed. This jiaozi was made in advance on New Year's Eve. The first person to get up will pack jiaozi to worship his ancestors. Of course, some people have the custom of getting up early to worship their ancestors and kowtowing for nine heads. You can't kill anything except breakfast. It's like this all day. All the meals eaten on New Year's Eve are prepared in advance.

Then, it is a routine to pay New Year greetings to each other, so I won't go into details here. On the first day of New Year's Day, we call it "Master's Year", which means that on the second day of New Year's Day, we should pay New Year greetings to our elders, grandparents, son-in-law and parents-in-law. Generally speaking, this is a custom. If it is interesting, it is that relatives and friends are here, and everyone has time to chat and play cards. When I was a child, I was simple. I had food, drink and play, and I had lucky money. I felt very happy. Now all the years have been diluted, many old traditions have been lost, and travel is faster, but it is not so interesting because it comes quickly. What do you think of this? Do you have anything interesting on New Year's Day?

I come from Shandong, my hometown is Tai 'an and my husband's family is Jining. Although not far away, the local conditions and customs are quite different.

In my hometown of Tai 'an, I got up early in the morning on the first day to give red envelopes to my elders, and I had to eat jiaozi in the morning. After dinner, I went door to door to pay New Year greetings to the elderly. In the afternoon, I basically got together to play cards and chat, and basically didn't sweep the floor on the first day. Even if you sweep, you should sweep from the outside to the inside. You can't sew things with needle and thread. ................................

The customs in Jining are different from those in the husband's family. You can't comb your hair in the house on the first morning, you have to go outside. In the morning, jiaozi must be filled with vegetarian dishes. This is because Luz, a disciple of Confucius, died in civil strife in the struggle to defend the country. At that time, Lutz was outside the city. After the civil strife, he did not escape from defending his country. But regardless of their own safety, stand up and take risks. He was knocked off his crown in boxing. Lutz said to himself, "When a gentleman dies, fasten his hat belt, and the samurai will certainly not miss this opportunity to cut Lutz into meat sauce.

Customs vary from place to place, and the overall feeling is festive, lively and auspicious. In Xiayi County, eastern Henan Province, people used to get up at four or five o'clock on New Year's Day to set off a cannon, so we couldn't throw the washing water outside until the sun came out. Then we set off firecrackers in jiaozi, dedicated the first bowl of jiaozi and two steamed buns to our ancestors, and gave them jiaozi. After the whole family ate jiaozi, the younger generation kowtowed to their ancestors, grandparents and parents to pay New Year's greetings, and the elders gave the younger generation lucky money, and then led the children to their ancestors' homes to pay New Year's greetings. Now the new society is new and fashionable, and the old customs can't keep up with the new era. It is also forbidden to set off fireworks and send WeChat during the New Year. It feels similar to ordinary days, and there is no taste of Chinese New Year.

On the first day of New Year's Day, when we get up early, we always cook jiaozi in our hometown. Jiaozi is ripe, and when we take it out, there is another one in the pot, which means it will take more than a year. This year, we packed two kinds of stuffing, jiaozi leek, shrimp and eggs, and Chinese cabbage and beef, each with its own flavor.

After breakfast, put on new clothes, that is, go door to door to pay New Year's greetings. All the family elders with the same surname as Five Blessingg will go there. I liked this moment better when I was a child. The elders will give candy balls, melon seeds, two full bags, and pay attention to wrapping big red envelopes. There is no such atmosphere now, but I still miss my childhood.

At noon, my mother-in-law has to go fishing for rice. They are Manchu, and they like to divide rice and millet, and then steam them into rice. Generally, you have to eat until the fifteenth day of the first month, which means that you will earn more money and gold in the new year, and the financial resources will be rolling in one year.

You also need to steam rice cakes, which are usually steamed years ago. If it is too late, it will be made up on the first day of the month, which symbolizes that the good life is getting higher and better every year.

In a word, the first day is the beginning of a new year. We welcome the new year with rich food, and the whole family is round and round.
