The story of the spring festival

The story of Spring Festival 1 was originally called "Spring Festival" on the first day of the first month, and the original meaning of "Yuan" was "head", and later it was extended to "start". This day is the first day of the year, the first day of spring and the first day of the first month, so it is called "Sanyuan". Because this day is still the old dynasty, the moon dynasty and the Japanese dynasty, it is also called the "three dynasties"; Because it is the first Shuori, it is also called "Yuanshuo". On the first day of the first month, there are other nicknames, such as Shangri-La, Zheng Chao, Sanshuo and Shisan, which means the beginning of a year, January and a day.

When the door is opened in the morning of the Spring Festival, firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the door to set off firecrackers". After the firecrackers, it was smashed all over the place, and it was called "full house". At this time, the streets were full of anger and joy. Open the door and set off firecrackers.

Pay new year's call

On the first day of the new year, men get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other good luck in the coming year. There are many ways to pay New Year's greetings, some of which are led by the same patriarch from door to door. Some colleagues invited several people to pay New Year greetings; Others get together to congratulate each other. This is called "group worship". Because it takes time and effort to pay New Year greetings at home, some elites and scholars later congratulated each other with famous cards, thus developing the later "New Year cards".

When paying New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, the younger generation should first pay New Year greetings to their elders and wish them health and longevity. The elders can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money. There are two kinds of lucky money, one is to put colored rope in the shape of Jackie Chan at the foot of the bed, which was recorded in Yanjing year; The other is the most common, that is, parents wrap the money distributed to their children in red paper. Lucky money can be given in public after the younger generation pays New Year's greetings, or it can be secretly put under the child's pillow by parents when the child falls asleep on New Year's Eve. It is still very popular for elders to give lucky money to younger generations.

Zhansui

In the old society, due to the sunny weather in the first few days of Xinzheng, people put this year. Its theory began in Dong Fangshuo's "Year", which means that eight days after the year, one day is chicken day, two days are dogs, three days are pigs, four days are sheep, five days are cows, six days are horses, seven days are people and eight days are valleys. If it is sunny, things that belong to it will breed, and if it is cloudy, the days that belong to it will not last long. Later generations follow their habits and think that the weather is sunny from the first day to the tenth day, and there is no wind or snow for good luck. Later generations developed from the occupation era to a series of sacrifices and celebrations.

There are countless stories about the Spring Festival. I can only tell you stories about the Spring Festival to let you know, "Oh. There is such a story. "There is such a Spring Festival in the world.

Most of the Spring Festival stories around me are reunion stories, but there are also lonely stories, which can't be said to be sad, only lonely. I met an old man and a property manager downstairs yesterday. The old man invited the property manager to his house for New Year's Eve and dinner. This scene happened to be met by me, which made me understand, oh, there are such stories in the Spring Festival.

The staff of that property is a young man in his thirties, and the old man is probably over eighty. They are talking about their New Year's plans next to my parking space. The old man asked the young homeowner why he didn't go home for the New Year. The young owner told the old man that he would not go home for the New Year this year. This answer made the old man very anxious. The old man insisted on making a big fuss about the New Year, not doing it alone. The young owner smiled and said that there was no way, but the old man insisted that there was a way.

What can we do? I saw that the old man stretched out his old hands and held the tender hands of the young people in the property and said, "Come to my house for the New Year! There are not many children in my family, plus my wife, there are six people in my family, and you are just seven. Come to my home for the New Year! " The young man in the property should be familiar with the old man, perhaps a young man who has helped the old man a lot, but he politely refused the old man's proposal and said, "That won't do! If I go to your home alone for the New Year, it will make your family uncomfortable. If I don't go or not, I will live in the office, no problem. " The old man is also a stubborn old man. He squeezed the boy's hand tighter and said, "We will have a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival. You have helped me so much, that is, relatives come to my house for dinner. " The young man in the property just wants to keep shirking. The old man put the love card in the pocket of the young man in the property and said, "My traffic card is in your pocket, so it is inconvenient for me to travel.". You must stay with me all the time, or I will tell others that my children don't listen to me. "

It can be seen that the young people in the property didn't expect the old man to do this in order to keep him for dinner. He had to say to the old man very embarrassedly, "Well, then I'll disturb your home!" " When the old man heard that the young man finally let go, he said with satisfaction, "It's time to eat on time. Don't be late."

Story of the Spring Festival 3 Every year, the night on the last day of the twelfth lunar month and the last day of the lunar year (30 years old and 29 years old) are called "New Year's Eve". It is connected with the Spring Festival (the first day of the first month), which is the day when people bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Because the big moon has 30 days and the small moon has only 29 days, the date of New Year's Eve is different. But this day, whether it is 29 or 30, is customarily called "New Year's Eve". On New Year's Eve, the whole family get together to have a New Year's Eve dinner (the last meal of the Lunar New Year). After New Year's Eve, some people will give lucky money and stay up late for the New Year. Custom refers to observation from the last day of this year to the first day of next year.

During the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, a ceremony of "exorcism" was held in the palace at the end of each year to beat drums to drive away epidemic ghosts, which was called "banishment". Later, the day before New Year's Eve was called "small exorcism". New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve, that is, New Year's Eve.

Story of the Spring Festival 4 As early as before the Qin and Han Dynasties, China folks had the custom of hanging peach symbols around the gate during the Spring Festival. Fu Tao is two big boards made of peach wood, on which are written the names of the legendary gods and spirits who exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits. This custom lasted for more than 1000 years. It was not until the Five Dynasties that people began to put couplets on mahogany boards instead of the names of gods. According to historical records, on New Year's Eve in 964 AD, Meng Chang, the master of Houshu, wrote a couplet on the bedroom door, namely, "On New Year's Eve, Jia Jienuo. Changchun ",the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. After the Song Dynasty, it has become quite common for people to hang Spring Festival couplets in the New Year. Because the appearance of Spring Festival couplets is closely related to peach symbols, the ancients also called Spring Festival couplets "peach symbols". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, strongly advocated couplets. After establishing the capital of Jinling (now Nanjing), he ordered ministers, officials and ordinary people to write a couplet and put it on the door before New Year's Eve. Dressed in casual clothes, he went out door to door to watch the excitement. Scholars at that time also regarded couplets as elegant enjoyment, and writing Spring Festival couplets became a social fashion. After entering the Qing Dynasty, couplets prevailed in Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang generations. Just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many famous couplets appeared.

The Story of the Spring Festival In ancient China, there was a beast called Nian. Nian has horns on his head, which is very fierce and terrible. "Nian" lived in the mountains for many years, only climbed ashore on a specific day (that is, New Year's Eve), devouring livestock and harming people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in every village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the injury of Nian.

One year on New Year's Eve, an old beggar came from outside the village. The village was in a hurry and panic, and nobody paid attention to him. Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and suggested that he go up the mountain quickly to avoid the New Year. The old man lifted his beard and smiled: "If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive Nian away." The old woman continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word.

In the middle of the night, nian broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house at the east end of the village had red paper on the door and bright candles in the room. Nian trembled and gave a long cry. Near the door, there was a sudden explosion in the hospital, and Nian was too scared to go any further. It turns out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, my mother-in-law's door opened and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. "Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in confusion.

The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers the promise of begging for the elderly. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew the way to drive away Nian. Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends.

This custom is widely circulated and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China, namely the Spring Festival.

Story of the Spring Festival 6 In ancient times, there was a beast called Nian, which was several times bigger than the current elephant and dozens of times fiercer than the tiger. It eats people, eating dozens of people at a time, and eating countless people. The people have suffered. One day, Nian came again, and a young man hated it very much. He said: "It is better to fight it than to let it eat. They are all dead anyway. " He rushed up with an axe and many young people followed him. But they are no match for Nian. All the young people were eaten by Nian. Since then, "Nian" has become more vicious, and all people are angry and hate.

The resentment in the sky shocked the white Venus in the sky, and the hatred in the earthquake shocked the king and bodhisattva in the underground. As soon as Venus Taibai and Bodhisattva Wang Di discussed it, they sent the founder of Shennong to land to collect the new year. Shennong holds a whip, aiming at Nian's ass is a whip. The fierce Nian actually fell to a draw. Shennong ran a few steps, stepped on Nian's head and roared, "Bastard, you ate countless people and did terrible things. Today is your end. " Say, take out two melon bowls from the waist, aim at the word "year" and close them. Nian, bigger than an elephant, suddenly fell into a melon bowl. Shennong buried the bowl with Nian in the ground. When he left, he repeatedly told him: "This bowl is buried in the ground and will grow melons in the future. This melon can't be broken, so be sure to say it's not broken. " Later, a melon really grew in the place where the bowl was buried, and the people called it "North Melon" according to Shennong's "No" voice. The day when Shennong got rid of "Nian" happened to be December 30th of the lunar calendar, so people called this day "Nian", which means to avoid "Nian" and get rid of its meaning. On this day, the class consecrated the North Melon to show the suppression of evil, and beat gongs and drums and lanterns with bamboo poles to commemorate the merits of Shennong's ancestors. Probably it was added by later generations according to the old customs and traditions. It is unlikely to be the origin of "Year".

Story of the Spring Festival 7 In ancient times, Pangu, Shennong and Fuxi took turns to take charge of the leading crutches, the treasure of the town house, with the first day of the first month of each year as the shift change time. On this day, Fuxi had just taken office when he suddenly saw the boy with five epidemics turn into a black gas and rush to the world. Fuxi was afraid that Wu Wen's children would do evil in the world, so he threw his crutches into the air. The crutch immediately turned into a golden dragon, opened his mouth wide, swallowed all the plagues released by Wentong at once, and then seized Wentong and imprisoned him. Because crutches are made of Yuzhu, people later made a dragon with a wax lamp in it according to the appearance of Yuzhu dragon, and danced in circles to eliminate the plague and be immune.

During the Spring Festival, every family likes to put portraits of two generals, Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde, on their doors. Why? It is said that in ancient times, King Jinghe bet with a fortune teller and was sentenced to death by the Jade Emperor. King Jinghe asked Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong to pardon him, and Emperor Taizong agreed. The next day, Emperor Taizong played chess with Wei Zhi, an outspoken minister. Wei Zhi suddenly fell asleep and beheaded King Jinghe in his dream. The ghost of King Jinghe blamed Emperor Taizong for his bad faith and often killed him. Emperor Taizong couldn't afford to get sick, so he swam to the underworld, where he was forgiven by the ten Yan kings and returned to Yang. This is the cause of the journey to the west. Afraid that King Jinghe would come to seek his soul, let Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde guard the door and keep safe. Emperor Taizong felt embarrassed again, so he posted two generals on the door, which was safe. Spread to the people, so the people also posted two generals.

It is said that after the monster "Nian" on New Year's Eve, there will be an invisible monster-Chong. I wandered around looking for children. As long as you touch the child's head, the child will get old and live longer. At night, a child sleeps and plays with shiny coins wrapped in red paper. Chong found the child and just reached out and touched the child's head, but the child turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. People think this is because of red paper and coins, so they give children red envelopes every year and give the coins in the red envelopes a new name-lucky money.

It was very popular after the Tang and Song Dynasties, and some people who don't have to go in person can use famous cards to congratulate them. It was called "thorn" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the business card was also called "famous thorn". After the Ming Dynasty, many people put up a red paper bag at the door to collect famous posts, which was called "Menben".

However, from the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, most families do not receive women, which is called "taboo". It's just that men want to go out to pay New Year greetings, and women can't go out to visit until after the sixth day of the first month. New Year greetings will last for a long time until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. Visiting relatives and friends in the evening is called "Night Worship Festival", and it is called "Lantern Festival" after October of the lunar calendar, so there is a joke that it is not too late to have a cold meal.

The custom of "Happy New Year" is rich in content. The usual order is: "worship heaven and earth first, then ancestors, then Gaotang, and then go out to visit relatives and friends."

After a busy day, my long-awaited New Year's Eve dinner finally came to the table. Grandpa's craft is cool. All kinds of delicious food on the table dazzled me and made my mouth water. The most attractive things are steamed crabs, stir-fried red shrimps and scallops with green peppers that my brother and I like to eat. Grandpa saw our greed and said, "Two greedy cats, you are really happy now." I asked my grandfather, "Grandpa, what did you eat for the New Year's Eve when you were young?" Grandpa said: "When I was a child, I was satisfied with eating meat in the New Year." I turned my head and asked my mother, "Mom, when were you a child?" Mother said, "I didn't have shrimp when I was a child." Just a "fried shrimp slices", not to mention Chili tomatoes. You are so happy! Hearing this, I said naughtily, "Yes, our Chinese dream is like this." Everyone laughed and said, "Yes, yes? "

Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast. friendship

On New Year's Eve, an old beggar came from outside the village. The villagers were in a hurry and panic. Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and suggested that he go up the mountain quickly to avoid Nian beast.

Nian was frightened.

Pale, embarrassed to escape.

The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound.

The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people all knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast. Since then, every New Year's Eve, at home.

Story of the Spring Festival 14 In ancient times, there was a fierce monster named Nian, who went door to door every year on130 February, eating human flesh and killing people. On the night of the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Nian came to a village. It happened that two cowboys were fighting for a whip. Nian suddenly heard the sound of whipping in mid-air and ran away in fear. It fled to another village and saw a bright red dress drying in front of the door. It didn't know what it was, so it turned around and ran away. Later, he came to a village, looked into the door of a family, and saw that the lights were brightly lit and dizzy, so he had to slip away again, with his tail between his legs. From this, people realized that Nian has the weakness of being afraid of noise, red and light, so they thought of many ways to resist it and gradually evolved into the custom of celebrating the New Year today.

The story of the Spring Festival is 15. It is said that many years ago, there was a small village at the foot of the beautiful Dingyang Mountain. On the hillside at the head of the village, there is a small stone house where a young man named Wannian lives. He was born in poverty and made a living by collecting firewood and digging for medicine. At that time, festivals were chaotic and farmers could not farm. Wannian is a young man with calculation, and wants to set the festival right. However, where to start?

One day during the Spring Festival, Wan Nian went up the mountain to collect firewood and sat under a tree to rest. The movement of the shadow inspired him, so he made a sundial and measured the shadow to calculate the length of the day. But cloudy, cloudy, foggy and rainy affected the recording. He wanted to make another timer to make up for the sundial. That day, he went up the mountain to dig medicine and came to the spring to drink water. The spring on the cliff was ticking rhythmically, which caught his attention. He looked at the spring, thought for a while, returned home, drew a picture, tried it, and made a five-story clepsydra.

From then on, he measured the shadow of the sun, looked at the leakage, and worked diligently. Slowly, he found that every 360 days, the length of a day would be repeated from the beginning. The shortest day is in the winter solstice.

At that time, the son of heaven was called Zu Ti. The chaos of the festival made him very anxious, so he called hundreds of officials to discuss the reasons for the chaos of the festival. The name of the festival official is Aheng. He didn't understand the laws of the sun and the moon, so he said that people were careless and offended the gods. Only by kneeling down and offering sacrifices can they get God's forgiveness. Zu Ti took a vegetarian bath, led hundreds of officials to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, and sent a message to the whole country to set up a platform for offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, sacrifices have come and gone, but they have no effect, and the four seasons are still chaotic. In order to build the altar, people from all over the world must serve and donate. It's really bile mixed with coptis chinensis-bitterness adds bitterness. After ten thousand years, I couldn't help it, so I took his sundial and clepsydra to see the son of heaven.

I met the son of heaven, talked about the winter solstice, talked about the cycle of the sun and the moon. Zu Ti was overjoyed at this. Even if he built a large-scale building, he built the Sun and Moon Pavilion, the sundial platform and the Leaky Pot Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven. Also arranged 12 boys to guard the leaking pot, carefully record and report on time.

One day, Zuyi asked Ah Heng to go to Riyuege to inquire about calendar making. Wannian pointed to the calendar and said, "Sunrise and Sunset 360, start all over again. The vegetation is divided into four seasons and there are twelve laps a year. " After listening to this, Ah Heng felt deeply justified, but his heart was uneasy. He thought to himself: If the festival is set at 10,000 years, and the son of heaven is happy, who will listen to me? Ah Heng thought and thought, bent on getting rid of Wan Nian.

On that day, A Heng found that an assassin was good at shooting, so he sent someone to his house, held a wine feast, explained the reason, and promised to give him a heavy gift. The assassin promised to assassinate him that night.

On the second drum of the day, the assassin left Aheng drunk and ran to Riyuege. But around the Temple of Heaven, Sun Moon's adult was guarded by guards, so the assassin couldn't get close, so he pulled out his bow and arrow and shot at Wannian who was watching the stars on the Sun Moon Pavilion. Who knows that the assassin was blinded by drinking too much, and the arrow only hit Wan Nian's arm. Ten thousand years fell to the ground with a sigh, and all the teenagers cried for the thief. Hearing the shouts, the guards went out together, caught the assassin and leaned forward to see the son of heaven.

Zu Ti asked the truth, sent a command to put Ah Heng into prison, and personally went out of the palace to visit Riyuege for ten thousand years. Wan Nian was very moved and pointed to Shen Xing and said, "Shen Xing has caught up with silkworms and astrology has been restored. Giving children in the evening, the old year has passed, and it is spring again. Let's hope that the emperor will make a festival. "

Zu Ti said, "Spring is the first year of a year, so let's call it Spring Festival. Ai Qing has been in the cabinet for three years and has the courage to make the lunar calendar with a full moon. This is a great achievement. Ai Qing was assassinated by a traitor today. Come with me to the palace to recuperate. "

Wannian said: "Although the lunar calendar was originally created, it is still not accurate, and there are still a few hours at the end of the year. If we don't leap by the end of this year, the sun and the moon will fly like flies. It is wrong to come and go. I live up to the expectations of all beings, and I am deeply grateful to the son of heaven. I would like to be fascinated by the Sun and Moon Pavilion, calculate it carefully, and determine the next calendar. "

In this way, in the Sun Moon Pavilion for 10,000 years, we carefully observed the ups and downs of vegetation and wheat bran, and performed them carefully, jumping into the end of the year. In May of that year, Zu Ti went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the gods, and then boarded the Sun and Moon Pavilion to present the May Peach to the God of Ten Thousand Years. The lunar calendar is ten thousand years, and Zu Ti looks forward to ten thousand years of hard work day and night. His eyebrows are white and his beard is white. He was deeply moved, so he named the lunar calendar the perpetual calendar and the birthday star of the sun, the moon and the moon.

Therefore, people later called the Spring Festival "Year". During the Spring Festival, Shou Xingtu is hung in the house, symbolizing the longevity of the new year, so as to convey the nostalgia for the years of great achievements.
