Manuscript: New Year's Jokes

The original intention of the two concepts of Spring Festival and New Year comes from agriculture. In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "year". Hebe: "in the year, the grain is ripe." . During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Xia calendar came into being, with the full and short moon as the month, and a year was divided into twelve months. Every month, the day when the moon can't be seen is the new moon, and the first day of the first month is called the beginning of a year, also known as the year. The title of the year began in the Zhou Dynasty and was officially set in the Western Han Dynasty, which continues to this day. However, in ancient times, the first day of the first month was called "New Year's Day". Until the victory of the Revolution of 1911 in modern China, in order to conform to the farming season and facilitate statistics, the Nanjing Provisional Government stipulated that the people would use the summer calendar, and institutions, factories, mines, schools and organizations would adopt the solar calendar, with the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day as New Year's Day and the first lunar month 1 day as the Spring Festival.

1949 On September 27th, New China was founded. At the first plenary session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, the international use of the Gregorian calendar era was adopted, and the Gregorian calendar 1 month 1 day was designated as New Year's Day, commonly known as the Gregorian calendar year. The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is usually when spring begins, so the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar is designated as the "Spring Festival", which is usually called the Lunar New Year.

In the traditional sense, the Spring Festival refers to the La Worship sacrificial ceremony from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month or the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, with New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month as the climax. During the Spring Festival, a traditional festival, the Han nationality and most ethnic minorities in China will hold various celebrations. Most of these activities are mainly about offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas, paying homage to ancestors, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and praying for the new. The forms of activities are rich and colorful, with strong national characteristics.

Jie Jin vs Spring Festival couplets

Jie Jin was a good writer since he was a child. This year's Spring Festival, he posted a pair of Spring Festival couplets at the back door: "The door is against a thousand bamboo poles, and the family hides thousands of books." The staff across the hall was very unhappy, thinking that only a family like me deserved to post this couplet, so they ordered the servants to cut down the bamboo. Soon, the family came to report that Jie Jin's Spring Festival couplets were changed to: "The door is as short as a thousand bamboo poles, and parents save thousands of books." Mr. Yuan was very angry after hearing this, and let people dig out the bamboo roots. Unexpectedly, Xie Jia's Spring Festival couplets were changed to: "The door is short of bamboo, and there is thousands of books at home."

Ji Xiaolan Shi Chunlian

Ji Xiaolan was a college student in the Qing Dynasty. Once, he went home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, and a family of three brothers in the village asked him to write Spring Festival couplets. He wrote a pair of "earth-shattering, one of the best" Spring Festival couplets and criticized "acting first". This is a terrible mistake. He was accused of cheating the monarch in the name of "offending". When Emperor Qianlong learned of this incident, he immediately called Ji Xiaolan back to Beijing to ask. Ji Xiaolan replied, "I wrote Spring Festival couplets correctly! Isn't this boss selling firecrackers an "earth-shattering portal"? The second child is in charge of the fair fight. Isn't screaming all day one of the best families? The third is to sell roast chicken, isn't it' cut first and then play'? " The words were dry, and the dragon smiled.

The whole family writes couplets together.

In ancient times, there was a family who was very superstitious and wanted to make good luck in everything. On New Year's Eve, my father's two sons discussed and said, "Put up a new Spring Festival couplets in the class. Now let's each say a few auspicious words and make a pair of Spring Festival couplets. " The two sons nodded in agreement. Father stroked his beard and read, "What a good year!" The eldest son thought about it and read, "Less bad luck." The second son then read: "No lawsuit!" Everyone was full of praise after reading it, so my father wrote a long article without punctuation and posted it in the middle of the room. The next day, the neighbors came to pay New Year's greetings. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Spring Festival couplets and read aloud: "This year is so unlucky, I have to go to court!"

Young master writes Spring Festival couplets.

Once upon a time, there was a young master who used to eat, drink, and be merry and idle. He spent all his father's inheritance, and near the end of the year, there was no firewood. On New Year's Eve, the poor young master wrote a couplet to laugh at himself and posted it at the door: "Live frugally and spend the indifferent year." An old pedant in the village sighed after reading it, and added a sentence to the couplet, which became: "Do frugal things early and avoid being indifferent."
