The origin of chronology
Four or five hundred years ago, towns such as Gaozhou, Huazhou and Wuchuan (Mei) located in the middle and lower reaches of Jianjiang River had formed commercial centers, developed handicrafts, and nearby villages were also developed agricultural areas. People engaged in trafficking in industrial and agricultural tools, timber, fish, salt and other goods travel between urban and rural areas, and some farmers gradually leave farming and become city dwellers. For thousands of years, the commodity distribution center formed on the riverside gradually expanded the area of the city, and the local rural people also became street people. Gaozhou Town, Huazhou Town, Zhenlong Town and Wuchuan Meicheng Town have changed from three-day fairs to once-a-day fairs, and business associations will also hold some business celebrations to promote commodity exchanges. During the Ming Dynasty, the cities and villages in the Jianjiang River valley were completely sinicized by the integration of Chinese and slang culture. Central Plains immigrants and northern officials publicized the Central Plains culture to the local area, and spread the folk festivals and social fires with the sacrifice to the country as the main content. It gradually merged with the ghost culture handed down by the local ancient slang people, and formed the worship of stoves, burning stoves, worshipping temple gods, going up the knife mountain, crossing the sea of fire, shooting guns, sending plague gods and so on. This custom also became a cultural activity celebrated in the countryside at that time. Village celebrations attract urban people, and business celebrations also attract rural people. With some rural people becoming businessmen, with some land on the edge of the city becoming streets, and with frequent contact between urban and rural people, many people think it will be great to combine temple fairs in rural areas with business celebrations in towns.
It is said that there is a street man named Gao Huanian from a peasant background in Gaozhou Fucheng. In his early twenties, together with his father Gao Sheng, he transported the wood (mainly fir trees) produced in the northern mountainous area of Maoming County to Huazhou City and Wuchuan Meicheng for sale through the raft of Jianjiang Waterway, and then shipped it back to other places for resale. After years of business, his family is rich. Gao Huanian's ancestors immigrated from the north, and they understood the connotation of Central Plains culture and ancient slang culture. In the process of doing business, he met a man named Jin Hecheng who taught in Huazhou City, and made friends with Wu Xian, a Li native of the same age as his father, in Meicheng Town. Wu Xian lived in a seaside mountain village, engaged in shipping, and came to Mei to sell his goods to his hometown through rivers and seas. After a long time, we met, and Gao Sheng and Wu Xian became brothers. One day, Wu Xian invited Gao Sheng and his son to drink on his boat and asked his daughter to pour wine. Wu, a beautiful girl in senior three, fell in love at first sight. Wu female also made a wink to Gao Huanian. During the dinner, I learned that Wu's female name was Wu Mei, and she also knew something about calligraphy and etiquette. Because Goldman Sachs and Wu Xiancheng became sworn brothers, Gao Huanian and Wu Mei were also regarded as brothers and sisters. Gao Hua is full of love, but he dare not violate the relationship between brother and sister, nor dare he talk to his father about marriage proposal. After three months of emotional frying, I confided my heart to adult education in Jinhe Huazhou City. Jin Hecheng is willing to make it into something beautiful. After a little consideration, he told Gao Hua that the Lantern Festival would be celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month, and invited Wu Xian's father and daughter and many villagers in his mountain village to enjoy the lanterns.
Gao Huanian told his father the words of the golden chamber, saying that this would not only enhance friendship, but also promote the exchanges between urban and rural people and make business prosperous. Gao Sheng thought his son was clever, so he readily agreed and sent out an invitation. On the Lantern Festival, Wu Xian took his daughter Mei Yang and eight villagers to Gaos for dinner. During the dinner, it was said that three days later, on the 18th day of the first month, it was a temple fair in his seaside mountain village, which was different from the Lantern Festival in the street. The Oracle immediately asked Wu Xian to reciprocate, and asked Gao Sheng and his son to take him and his business friends to he qing. Wu Xian said that the village was humble and did not dare to receive distinguished guests. Jin Oracle suggested to Gao Sheng: In Mei ... >>
The origin of the year: According to legend, Zhanjiang's "year" also originated from the Lantern Festival. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the cultural customs of the Central Plains have gradually penetrated into the land of western Guangdong, and the habit of setting off lanterns for fun during the Chinese New Year and the Lantern Festival has also been accepted. After combining with the local custom of celebrating harvest and praying for sacrifices, it gradually evolved into a grand and warm folk festival, which was highly valued by villagers. One said: In fact, it is a comprehensive festival such as the Lantern Festival, temple fairs and the anniversary of moving ancestors in Zhanjiang and other places. First of all, the chronology has something to do with Mrs Sendai. The annual activity originated from Xian's family's sacrifice and blessing, and evolved into today's annual activity after a long time. From the Southern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, Lady Sendai, the Virgin of Lingnan, was an influential local figure. She has made outstanding contributions to safeguarding national unity and national unity, and was praised as "the first heroine in China" by Premier Zhou Enlai. Among the statues used for "wandering gods" in those years, there is a statue of Mrs. Sendai. It can be seen that her position in the hearts of local people is as lofty as a god. The local people respect a patriotic heroine so much, which also reflects their heroic feelings and patriotic thoughts. Perhaps honoring Mrs. Kenta Darvish as a god is just a continuation of our ancestors' practice, and treating Mrs. Kenta Darvish as a form of statute. But the cultural connotation contained in it cannot be erased. Mrs. Xian's culture makes the chronology more historic. It not only inherits feudal superstition, but also has positive humanistic spirit. Objectively speaking, there is a difference between the calendar and the Lantern Festival. The main differences are as follows: First, there is no uniform date in the annual calendar, which is mostly concentrated between the twelfth lunar month and February of the lunar calendar. The annual calendar of "turning over the autumn" is held every month (one month after the autumn harvest, mostly from March to November of the lunar calendar), and there are two calendars in a few places. The annual festival is usually held in a village for one day, and in some places it is held for two or three days. Yuanxiao is fixed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it will not be called Yuanxiao after that day. Second, different beliefs. Yuanxiao is called Shangyuan Festival, which is related to Taoist beliefs. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the sacrificial activities of "Taiyi God" were scheduled for the 15th day of the first month. Taiyi: the God who rules the universe. When Sima Qian created the taichu calendar Law, he had already identified the Lantern Festival as a major festival. However, this year's religious beliefs were extensive. The gods it worships are the Taoist Sangong, the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva, the indigenous Mrs. Sendai, the homeland, Kang Wang, and even ancestors, tree gods, ghosts and so on. Thirdly, Lantern Festival is about eating Yuanxiao and lighting lanterns. There is no such habit in the laws and regulations. In ancient times, the statute focused on the exorcism ceremony of rural Nuo. Fourthly, the areas where chronology prevails overlap with the areas where ancient slang people live, which is unique and unique, which is not available to other ethnic groups. Yuanxiao is a multi-ethnic festival with a wide area. The so-called "year example" can be interpreted as a year example, which is also the "meal period" as the saying goes. After the Spring Festival, the New Year in Maoming and other places began one after another. The so-called "year example" can be interpreted as a year example, which is also the "meal period" as the saying goes. Maoming people have the saying that "2008 is a big New Year", so it can be said that "2008 is the biggest festival in Maoming countryside". In fact, "Nian Shi" is just a general term for festivals with the same regional characteristics. Not all the places that make Nianshi are used to calling Nianshi Nianshi. Maoming, Zhanjiang and Suixi are generally called Nianshi or Yuanxiao. Other places have different names. For example, Leizhou is called a tourist or Yuanxiao, Xuwen is called Shangjunpo, Noisy Junpo or Wandering God, and Lianjiang is called Wandering God or Wandering Flower Street. Maoming's local "year example" can be said to come from the "Lantern Festival". As a traditional festival in China, Lantern Festival refers to the 15th day of the first lunar month. There is a custom of watching lanterns this night. "Thousands of trees bloom in the east wind night" describes the scene of enjoying the lanterns in the Lantern Festival, so the Lantern Festival is also called the Lantern Festival or Shangyuan Festival. Perhaps it was the creation of Maoming people that staggered the holiday time and became a "new year's case" based on eating and drinking. The one-year period begins on the fifth day of the first year and ends at the end of February. There is a saying in Maonan that "the earliest bamboo loves the house at the latest", which means that Huangshu Village in Gaoshan Town will establish the annual regulations on the seventh day of the first month, while Ai Wu Land in Guangong Town will establish the annual regulations on February 28th. The dates of the villages are staggered to facilitate the gathering of relatives and friends. Before the reform and opening up, rural people did not make the annual regulations as lively and grand as they are now. At that time, the production team dried the fish pond and killed a few pigs. The members took back a few pounds of fish and meat and killed a chicken to cook. It was a feast. After the reform and opening up, people's living standards have improved, and the formulation of annual regulations has become more and more solemn and lively. Generally, people will put on three or five tables; Wealthy people set up a dozen or twenty tables, eating not only chicken, duck and fish, but "flying in the sky and swimming in the sea", with all kinds of delicious food. Make an annual rule: whoever has more guests, a higher level of guests, and more cars parked at the door, the owner's face will be big. Explore >>
The Origin of New Year Customs in Western Guangdong Among the many traditional festivals in China, the Spring Festival is the most lively. However, in the Lingnan area of western Guangdong, there is a special festival to celebrate after the Spring Festival, which is a folk custom with local characteristics-Nian Gui.
The New Year Festival is the biggest folk festival in Maoming and Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province (including Wuchuan [1]). It is called "the New Year Festival is bigger than the Spring Festival" in rural areas and is the most distinctive festival in western Guangdong. During the Chinese New Year, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful buildings, colorful galleries and galleries. The roadside is covered with colorful flags, firecrackers and gongs and drums come and go, and all kinds of folk art performances are presented to the public. Cantonese opera, movies, songs and dances, puppet shows, tea-picking shows, zaju and various entertainment activities have appeared one after another. Among them, Cantonese opera is the most popular. Cantonese opera, commonly known locally as "drama", is a must-perform program every year. Generally, the performance lasts for several days throughout the year, and the audience is endless. In addition, the lion dance class is also a necessary item for the annual festival.
As the name implies, the year is once a year, and a village makes a "year" on a fixed day of the year. The legend of "Nian" originated from the Lantern Festival, but the time range of "Nian" is much wider than the Lantern Festival. Most people choose to make "Nian" before or after the Lantern Festival, and the date varies with geographical location and surname. The "Year" of a village is usually one day, and the lively and grand place usually lasts for two or three days. Until around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still villages making "Nian" (the second day of the second day, the end of November and December). The custom of making "annual rules" is rare in Guangdong province and even the whole country. So, when did the "annual regulations" originate? According to the Records of Maoming City, "Chronicle is unique to villages in Jianjiang and Luojiang river basins in western Guangdong, and it has been very popular in Qing Dynasty. The' New Year's Festival' is an activity for local people to worship God, worship God and sacrifice to the country, and pray for good weather, prosperity of all trades and prosperity of the country and the people. In fact, "Nianshi" is an expanded Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and temple fair, and it is a comprehensive festival including the anniversary of ancestors' migration and settlement. The biggest purpose of "chronology" is to respect God, and "chronology" is first made for God. In the Year, various folk art performances try their best to show God. In festivals, people try their best to please and flatter God, in order to win his favor and win a year of good weather, abundant crops and prosperity for people and animals. This is people's good wish! In ancient times, people's productivity was extremely low and their ability to control nature was very weak. Therefore, their fear of God is very deep. Now "Nian" is still going on, and the worship of God is still very strong, but now "Nian" is not only for passing by God, but also for people to entertain themselves. The people of Wuchuan City made great efforts to attract investment and hold "one meeting and one festival", one of which was Wuchuan Lantern Festival and the other was Wuchuan Lantern Festival.
During the Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers is always heard. Every household is decorated with colorful buildings, galleries, galleries, flower bridges and pagodas, dressed up with fluttering colors and clay sculptures, and various folk art performances do their best to contribute to the public. In a village for the New Year, people from the surrounding villages come to watch the fun and entertain relatives and friends. At this time, all the guests that the host knew came with guests that the host didn't know, and the host was no stranger. They all warmly welcomed the tea and rice, and everyone soon became one, talking and laughing. Wuchuan people left a good impression on their guests' hospitality. In the past, the social circle of rural youth was narrow, and the "annual regulations" once played the role of "Valentine's Day", which was deeply loved by young people. Every year, young men and women walk around the streets, come and go, and gradually get familiar with each other, and don't have to worry about other people's marriages.
During the "New Year's Day" period, every household is hosting a banquet from morning till night to entertain relatives and friends, and the guests are ready to eat. The more guests come, the more cars parked in front of their homes and the brighter their faces; If the door is crowded, it will be looked down upon. Rich families do this: their "New Year" is more abundant than ordinary people's wedding banquets, and the tables are filled with delicacies, delicacies and wine. A table ranges from several thousand dollars to three thousand dollars. At the end of the day, it will cost tens of thousands to set more than ten tables. Isn't it a big loss for rich people to do this "year" No, they won't all lose money, because local party and government cadres are their "guests" and they eat "Nian". & gt
The legend about the years is as lively and joyful as the traditional Chinese New Year, but the difference is that the locals regard it as bigger than the Chinese New Year. The cultural connotation of the production of "Chronicle" was deeply imprinted in the hearts of local people, that is, the culture of Mrs. Sendai.
Food is the most important thing for people. On the "Year-end" day, every household takes the slaughtered pigs and the slaughtered chickens and ducks to the square or at the entrance of the village for display. They call this form "posing", which is the first item on the day of "Year". People wait in their "posing" places early in the morning. During the worship, in the smoke of firecrackers, we can see that there are not only old people, middle-aged people, but also young people and children. The scene is very spectacular. It is said that "showing off" is to see whose pig is fatter and whose chicken and duck are bigger, and to invite Mrs. Xian to go home and spend the New Year with everyone.
The activities of "Nian" started with horse riding, archery and competition, and were later interpreted as vagrancy and acting. One of the "wandering gods" is to invite the "gods" out and carry them on the streets of villages and towns. It is unscientific to explain the custom of "wandering the gods" in a superstitious way.
We found that the "wandering god" idol in Nian Shi always has a sculpture of Mrs. Sendai, a figure in the Southern and Northern Dynasties more than 400 years ago. In "Absence of Mind", firecrackers exploded and fireworks bloomed in places where people passed by to show their respect. During the visit, the villagers said that the "annual regulations" contained three meanings: First, please ask Mrs. Xian to take a bath and change clothes. Because Mrs. Xian came out to inspect every festival before her death, people in this area habitually took her back to her family to have dinner with everyone for the New Year. When eating, the more visitors, the better, whether they know each other or not, to show popularity and prosperity. The second is to invite Mrs. Xian to travel, see the changes in people's lives in her hometown, and thank Mrs. Xian for the wealth she has brought to herself. Third, today's "wandering god" is also a form evolved in the past to show its village strength against foreign aggression.
According to historical data, Mrs. Xintai is already an influential figure in the local area. The "Nianshi" activity was originally initiated by the Xian family. According to historical records, "the descendants of Mrs. Xian, when wandering around in sacrifice to the Feng family, can organize the trombone 12 according to the emperor's concession words, and can play 12 gong and discharge 12 cannon continuously every time. Especially during the Lantern Festival, Sendai visited the old city. The team was hundreds of meters long, colorful flags fluttered, gongs and drums rang, firecrackers rang, the atmosphere was lively and the interest was high. "
Although no one cares about the cause of this "model of the year" activity, few people have explored it. Just as people hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi to commemorate Qu Yuan every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, this custom has gradually formed the customs and habits in people's lives after a long-term evolution. Although there is no historical record of its evolution, there are still traces to follow.
From this reasoning, people in this area not only regard "Nian" as a custom, but also habitually regard the statue of Lady Xian as a god. This can not help but remind people that this custom is a form of commemorating Mrs. Xian, which has evolved over thousands of years. However, the local people regard the "year example" as more important than the Chinese New Year, which is inseparable from Mrs. Xian Tai's contribution to the economic and cultural development of Lingnan.
Her contribution to Lingnan area at that time. Even played a decisive role in the stability of the whole Central Plains, and her spirit also had a great influence on later generations. On the land of Lingnan thousands of miles away, Mrs. Sendai has long been a beloved idol and god in the eyes of the people. This is also one of the factors that the local people regard the "year example" as more important than the Chinese New Year. Perhaps this is a form of Mrs. Xian's culture.
"year" and time
The time of "Nian" is different, which is a very distinctive custom in China's folk festivals.
The "Nian" here has the same meaning as the traditional Chinese New Year in China, but the difference is that the "Nian" in counties (cities), towns and villages has different time from New Year's Day to the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month. This strange cultural phenomenon is also related to Mrs Sendai.
Signs can be found in the Chronicle organized by the people to commemorate Mrs. Kenta Darvish: In the old society, the 17th day of the first lunar month was always the anniversary of Mrs. Kenta Darvish's death. Gaozhou is the 18th day of the first month. In addition, Daoguang's "Dianbai County Records" records that there was a "year" in Dianbai Xia Dong Town called "Seventeen People See". That is, the seventeenth day of the first month commemorates Mrs Sendai. The first month of every year is from 16 to 19 ... >>
Does anyone know the origin of chronology? Yes, tell me about the origin of the perpetual calendar.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a young man named Wannian who saw that the festival at that time was very chaotic and wanted to make it accurate. One day, he went up the mountain to cut wood and sat in the shade to have a rest. Inspired by the movement of the shadow, he designed a coffin to measure the sun and calculate the time. But it was raining and foggy at that time, which affected the measurement. Later, the dripping spring on the cliff aroused his interest, and he began to make a five-story clepsydra. As time went on, he found that the length of the weather would repeat every 360 days.
At that time, the monarch was called Zu Ti, and the unpredictable weather made him very upset. A minister named Aheng, in order to please the emperor, said that he would set up a rooftop to worship the gods. Zu Ti thought it was reasonable, so he led officials to make sacrifices to heaven, but to no avail. Knowing that ten thousand years later, I couldn't help but go to see the emperor with a sundial and a clepsydra and explain to Zu Ti why the sun and the moon run. Zu Ti was very happy after hearing this and felt reasonable. So I left for ten thousand years and built the Sun and Moon Pavilion in front of the Temple of Heaven, as well as the sundial platform and the Leaky Pot Pavilion. Send twelve boys to serve for ten thousand years. Zu Ti said to Wannian: I hope you can accurately measure the laws of the sun and the moon, calculate the exact time in the morning and evening, and create a calendar to benefit people all over the world.
On one occasion, Zu Ti sent a message to Ah Heng asking about the progress of the perpetual calendar. When he boarded the altar of the sun and the moon, he saw the stone wall beside the Temple of Heaven engraved with:
Sunrise and sunset 360
Start all over again.
Vegetation withers and flourishes in four seasons.
There are twelve circles in a year.
When Ah Heng saw this, he knew that the study of perpetual calendar was successful, and his heart was uneasy. He was extremely afraid that the monarch would blame himself for putting forward the idea of offering sacrifices to the gods, because he was favored by calendars created for thousands of years. So he plotted and sent an assassin to get rid of Wan Nian. The assassin climbed up the Sun Moon Pavilion and saw Wannian watching the stars on the pavilion, so he drew an arrow with his bow and prepared to shoot him. Who knows, the assassin was found by the guards and arrested on the spot. When Zu Ti learned of this, he punished Ah Heng and personally went to Riyuege to visit Wan Nian. Wannian pointed to the astronomical phenomena and said to Zuyi: Now 12 months, the old year has passed and the new year has begun again. Please make a festival for the monarch. Zu Ti said: Spring is the first year of a year. Let's call it Spring Festival. Winter goes and spring comes, year after year. Later, after long-term observation and careful calculation, it took 10 thousand years to calculate the accurate solar calendar. When he showed his successor the solar calendar, he was covered with silver whiskers. The monarch was deeply moved. In order to commemorate the achievements of ten thousand years, he named the solar calendar as the perpetual calendar and named it the Sun, Moon and Shouxing. In the future, people will hang up the Shou Xingtu during the Chinese New Year, which is said to commemorate the venerable ten thousand years. This is the origin of the Spring Festival.
The Significance of Wuchuan Chronology When residents in big cities find traditional festivals more and more boring, the traditional customs of the Han nationality in Wuchuan's hometown can still be well preserved, and the traditional culture of Wuchuan's hometown has not disappeared in today's tide of globalization. On the contrary, with the changes of the times and the continuous improvement of productivity, the cultural environment has been constantly changing, and the contents and functions of festivals in Wuchuan New Year are also constantly changing. The prosperity of cultural and sports activities in Wuchuan every year is an urgent need for psychological needs after the survival needs are met. The age of Wuchuan is a rare custom in Guangdong Province and even in China. It attracts more and more overseas people with its unique local characteristics and traditional customs, and some folklore experts and scholars are also interested in it. Moreover, Wuchuan area is rich in natural tourism resources because of its superior geographical location, which is close to mountains and seas. In addition, it will be developed into a tourism economy with cultural connotation, which will contribute to Zhanjiang's tourism industry and have great market potential. During the Spring Festival in Wuchuan, the host got together with relatives living in other places and friends working and living outside. Maybe, there is only one day in a year, and you can meet many friends you haven't seen for a long time. On this day, you can talk about this year with your friends and keep in touch with their sincere feelings. As an important traditional festival in Wuchuan area since ancient times, Wuchuan New Year Festival has a long history. It should show more fine traditions and have many meanings, such as playing a very important role in the spiritual culture of people in the whole region. Especially with the progress of the times and the development of the economy, the Chronicle of Wuchuan is constantly developing and innovating, giving it a new meaning of existence: 1, a bridge of communication. Nowadays, social networks and communication are developed, but people's work pressure has also increased, reducing the time to go home. It is difficult for many people to get together at the same time, and there is also a lack of opportunities to face relatives and friends. Here, people who are away from home don't have to go home for the New Year, but they have to go home for reunion no matter how far away they are. Moreover, it is the Wuchuan annual line. On New Year's Day, every household is beaming, and people from neighboring towns and villages will come from all directions to watch the excitement. Friends, relatives and friends will also come. The host family will be hospitable, invite tea and hold a banquet, and the children will benefit. Wu Chuannian played a very good role in communication. This is really fun and fun! It adds a lot of festive atmosphere to spring. 2. Promote economic development. During the Spring Festival in Wuchuan, the consumption of villages and towns in Wuchuan increased sharply. The vegetable market, shops and roads are full of new year's goods, which is dazzling. The survey results show that the supply of fruits, sweets and biscuits will increase substantially, with an increase of more than 40%; The rise of new dishes has gradually become a bright spot in the economy. It not only stimulated the growth of consumption, but also stimulated the demand for related items, which directly increased the income of vegetable farmers by about 15%. The consumption proportion of holiday products such as home appliances, fireworks and lanterns has also increased greatly, which will increase by 20 percentage points compared with other months; Annual entertainment performances (such as lion dance, dragon dance, floating color, Cantonese opera, etc. ) also has great market potential. According to the statistical analysis of relevant people, Wuchuan's economy accounts for about a quarter of the rural market economy. Wuchuan is a tourist city, and chronology is a major cultural feature of Wuchuan area. In the past, spiritual wealth has produced considerable material value and is accelerating its pace, affecting the mode of economic and social development. After experiencing the stage of supporting literature with literature, setting up a stage with culture and singing opera economically, culture began to set up a stage for itself and sing opera by itself, and integrated into the field of economic and social development. The more culture and economy are integrated, the greater the potential of releasing cultural productivity. Integrating cultural industry into service industry, especially tourism, is a new bright spot of economic growth. 3. Conducive to the preservation and development of traditional culture. & amp......& gt& gt
Does anyone know the origin of chronology? Talking about the year is a unique custom in Maoming, southwest Guangdong Province. From the second day of the first lunar month, people celebrate the New Year one after another, which means that there are cases and songs every year, especially from the first lunar month to March. The villages sang gongs and woke up lions, and friends and relatives gathered together. The local conditions and customs were colorful and the fields were full of joy. Rural people call this period "the spring of the year".
The origin of Gaozhou calendar. Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China, also known as the biggest festival. In the eyes of people in western Guangdong, the New Year Festival is a bigger festival than the Spring Festival, and it is also a special festival only in western Guangdong. Some people who go out to work, even if they don't come back during the Spring Festival, go home on New Year's Day.
The year is usually set around the Lantern Festival in the first month, and different villages must have different times. There are different opinions about the origin of Nianshi, and now most of them say it is to commemorate a hero named Nianshi, because he enabled people in western Guangdong to drive away demons and get a happy life. Adults told us that after the resurgence of reform and opening up, because people began to live a good life at that time, they had enough material conditions for the New Year.
Now this year has become more and more grand. In Genzi Town, Gaozhou, my uncle's village, people's lives are booming because of their rich fruits. This year has passed three days in a row. This year immersed the whole village in a festive atmosphere. The fourteenth day of the first month is annual leave. On the twelfth day of the first month, the village invited a performance team, including traditional Cantonese opera performances, concerts and other cultural performances, as well as mass acrobatic performances. Before the performance began, the adults had arrived at the venue to congratulate each other on the new atmosphere of the year. The children are the happiest because there are many snacks around the venue. When their pockets are full, they take out red envelopes and eat snacks to their heart's content. Some set off fireworks, and the sky at the venue was gorgeous.
Happy days are always short. After two happy days, the year officially comes. The traditional wandering gods team holds out mythical figures such as the Jade Queen, historical figures such as Guan Gong, and local heroes such as Mrs. Xian, beating gongs and drums in the village to let the gods drive away past disappointments, pray for good luck and wish the villagers peace. After wandering, they began to prepare for the banquet. Every household is slaughtering chickens and ducks, and the sound of pots and pans is full of the sound of water. Relatives and friends will come over from work to eat new year's goods. Eating New Year's Eve is not because of the rich dishes on the table, but because of this festive day. Usually busy, relatives who don't have time to meet are all gathered together at the moment, and it always makes people feel the warmth of the family. The old man looked at his children and grandchildren and smiled like a flower. Next year's example is a banquet, but it's not the same as a wedding or birthday. The meaning of the annual example is getting simpler and simpler. Guests who eat don't need to bring red envelopes, just bring some fruit.
In western Guangdong, where the pace of life is relatively slow, the annual regulations make people feel the comfort and leisure of life. After the annual regulations, people will slowly start their new year's work with holiday blessings.
