It will be a small year soon. How much do you know in the next year? The following are WeChat tweet articles (9 selected articles) for you. Welcome to read!
Article 1 Lunar New Year WeChat Push. Traditionally, you should eat stove candy during the Lunar New Year. Kitchen candy is a kind of maltose that sticks to the mouth and teeth. The candy that is pulled into a long strip is called "Guandong Sugar", and the candy that is pulled into a flat circle is called "honeydew melon".
When it is put outside in winter, because of the cold weather, the honeydew melon is solidified firmly, and there are some tiny bubbles in it, which tastes crisp and sweet and has a special flavor. The real kwantung sugar is extremely hard and not fragile. Be sure to split it with a kitchen knife when eating. The material is very heavy and fine. The taste is slightly sour, there is no honeycomb in the middle, each piece weighs one or two, two or four, and the price is relatively expensive.
Why do you eat stove candy in off-year? The reason for offering sugar to the stove is to stick the mouth of the stove owner. This is the meaning of the folk song "Twenty-three, cantaloupe stick" in Beijing. Cooking sugar varies from place to place, including white cooking sugar made of malt, soybean sugar and sesame sugar.
Another legend is that Lv Mengzheng, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was born in poverty and wandered around. Later, he and his mother lived in a temple in Yonghe County, northeast of Zhangde area, which is now Hongyuan Temple in Caoma Village, Anyang County. The elders in the temple are knowledgeable and skilled, and they have a unique skill in making flavor snacks-making sesame candy.
Lv Mengzheng is poor, but he is smart and studious, so he is highly valued by his elders. The elders not only teach him to read, write and write poems every day, but also often reward some sesame candy for his mother and son to taste. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in 976, people were busy sending the Kitchen God to heaven. Lv Mengzheng saw that people used food to worship the kitchen god, but he had nothing to worship the kitchen god, so he put the hemp candy in the temple on the painting of the kitchen god.
When the kitchen god returned to the Heavenly Palace, when the emperor asked him, he wanted to talk but couldn't open his mouth, just nodded blindly. The Jade Emperor thought that "Kitchen God" praised Lv Mengzheng's character again and again, so he made a decree to bless him and named him Lv Mengzheng. The following year, Lv Mengzheng really ranked first among the hundred candidates in the world and won the first prize.
In return for the education and help of his elders, he expanded the temple and allocated 500 tons of yellow rice, 500 tons of wheat and 100 tons of sesame seeds, so that the elders could widely teach the skills of making sesame candy as the basis for local people to make a living. Since then, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, people have followed Lv Mengzheng's example and offered sesame candy to the Kitchen God, praying for the jade emperor's blessing. In this way, from generation to generation.
Remind everyone that eating kitchen candy for adults has little effect, but it is necessary to buy kitchen candy with outer packaging to prevent bacterial dust from entering the intestine and stimulating gastrointestinal mucosa. However, children should be extra careful when eating kitchen candy, because kitchen candy is made of maltose. Excessive consumption will damage children's teeth. If children have a cold or bronchitis, they should eat a small amount.
The legendary jujube Lord is a god sent by the Jade Emperor to supervise the good and evil on earth. It has the responsibility of communicating with people, connecting the feelings between heaven and earth, and transmitting the information between fairyland and human beings. When it went to heaven, people gave it stove candy, hoping that it would eat sweets and say good things in front of the Jade Emperor. It is also said that the candy used for offering sacrifices to the stove is not stuck on the mouth of the stove owner, but on the mouth of the grandmother who is greedy and loves to gossip.
Because people in China basically eat rice, cooked food is generally difficult to preserve and must be cooked at any time. Unlike western bread, you can bake a lot at a time and keep it for eating. Therefore, for China people, "firewood" (fuel) is the first of the "seven things" in life (rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea). Without fuel, even with basic food, you can't eat it. In the west, it is generally enough for a village to have only one bread stove. In China, every family must have a stove.
Because every family has a stove, there is a legend, that is, the Jade Emperor stationed a supervisor in each family-Kitchen God (he ordered Kitchen God, Kitchen God, Kitchen God and Kitchen King) to supervise and inspect the family's actions for one year. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will report to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor will decide whether to reward or punish the family next year according to the report. The Kitchen God is the year after next. The Festival of Sacrificing Kitchen Stove is actually a festival for every household to send the kitchen god to heaven.
Specific operation mode: Because every family usually puts a portrait of the kitchen god near the stove, and sometimes it is accompanied by a portrait of the kitchen god's grandmother. After a year of smoky fire, the portrait is old and black. To get rid of the old image, stick a grass horse to Kitchen God with straw and bribe him, so that he can "speak well in heaven and return to the palace for good luck", so that he can only speak well with a sticky melon or cake and then burn it with the grass horse.
This process is called magnetic stove. Buy a new portrait after the New Year, and ask Kitchen God to reply. In these intervening days, without the supervision of the kitchen god, most people overeat and gamble, indulging in some small mistakes that they usually think should not be made.
A few days ago, I accompanied my mother to the supermarket, and accidentally found "Guandong Sugar" among the dazzling candy piles, including long strips, garlic cakes and diamonds, which were very attractive. I can't help but think of the sesame candy I ate in my hometown in northern Shaanxi when I was a child. Although the shape and name are different, they are really the same thing, the same sticky and delicious. With a vast territory and different customs, this small candy is the same and unique "off-year" culture in China. Naturally, the biggest similarity is that regardless of the north and south of the river, people generally regard "off-year" as the beginning of Chinese New Year.
"On the day when the kitchen ascended to heaven, there was a kind of sugar in the street, the size of a citrus, and we also had it there, but it was very flat, like a thick pancake. That's the so-called' gum teeth'. The original intention is to invite the kitchen god to eat it and stick his teeth so that he can't speak ill of the jade emperor. The ghosts and gods in our minds in China seem to be more honest than the living, so we have to use such tough means to deal with ghosts and gods, but the living have to invite them to dinner. "
This passage written by Lu Xun in the twelfth lunar month (1926) is exactly the scene on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the so-called "rubber candy tooth", that is, Guandong sugar. I don't know when it started, but this day is called "off-year" in many places. According to the difference between north and south, there is a saying that "the off-year in the north is on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the off-year in the south is on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month". However, unlike the "New Year's Day" on New Year's Eve, the specific date of off-year is never the same. My classmates in rural areas in southern Anhui told me that they have the so-called "23 officials, 24 citizens and 25 people", which means that officials spend their holidays on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month and ordinary people spend their holidays on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. I don't understand what the so-called other people mean, and I have to wait another day in the back before I can have a small annual leave. In my hometown, New Year's Eve is a "big year" for God, and the first day of the first month is a "small year" for people. "One big and one small" shows the early people's reverence for God. Therefore, the more conventional saying about "off-year" refers to a custom festival developed from the belief of "Kitchen God" about seven days before New Year's Eve. As a prelude to the New Year's Day, sending stoves, sweeping dust and eating specific food have become the main affairs of people on this day.
It is said that the Kitchen God was established as a great god in Xia Dynasty, and in Yin and Shang Dynasties, offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God was listed as one of the "five major sacrifices" of the country's top priority. However, the origin of Kitchen God has always been a confused account, and some say it belongs to Emperor Yan. Some people say that it is a person named "Zhang Dan, Zi", and there is a well-known ballad to prove it: "Kitchen God's real name is Zhang, riding a horse with a gun"; It is said to be Vulcan Zhu Rong; Some even call it a bun or stirrup, which looks like a beautiful woman, and so on. Judging from those old New Year pictures, Kitchen God is not too fierce, but he is rich, wearing a crown, with a wide face and a long beard. Interestingly, people's descriptions of Kitchen God's deeds are extremely uniform. The great god sits in the kitchen of every household all day and is responsible for recording in detail what everyone has done. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Great God will return to heaven and report the good and evil on earth to the Jade Emperor. It is said that once accused, his life will be shortened by one hundred days, or three hundred days. With such a huge power, it is natural to pay homage and treat him to chewing gum, hoping to keep his mouth shut so as not to speak ill of him.
Such an attitude, as Xun Weng said, is naturally not serious enough, but it reveals a playful human touch. Up to now, attitudes towards Kitchen God are similar everywhere. In addition to paying tribute, more differences seem to lie in the diet of this day. As long as I can remember, there is always a red note next to the stove fire in my cave every year. A fellow villager, a teacher of Yin and Yang, told me that on this day, we should burn paper and incense under the position of the kitchen god, pay attention to it, and then put on a tribute similar to ancestor worship, which must be fruits, vegetables and meat. This simple process is called "delivering the kitchen horse". Our chef seems to be more conscious and doesn't need to take it back after sending it away. "At the end of the month, God will come back after the meeting."
In the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, the sacrificial furnace was chosen on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month. On both sides of the kitchen god's portrait, there is often a couplet: "Heaven says yes, and the lower bound is safe." In addition, the portrait of the kitchen god "kitchen" should also be cut out with paper and pasted on the mouth of the kitchen. In addition to simply paying homage to the kitchen god, people will also eat a "kitchen cake" these two days. Different from ordinary pies, its stuffing is made of cooked red bean paste and brown sugar, with a diameter of about 20 cm. However, the kitchen god here has a short meeting time. When you make a fire in the kitchen in the early morning of the first day of the first month, you should burn the "kitchen girl" to show your recovery.
In the rural area of Huludao, Liaoning Province, in addition to paying homage to the kitchen god, the important activity on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is "Killing the Year Pig". Pigs that have been raised for a year grow fat and strong. After the adults kill the pigs together, they will lose their hair and cut them open. After cutting into pieces, they began to cook "killing pig dishes"-sauerkraut stew. After the pig urine bubble is washed and inflated, it becomes a toy for children to chase and kick. After a busy day, people got together and began to enjoy sauerkraut stew and steamed pig blood. Naturally, jiaozi is indispensable. Three or five days later, people began to cook pig's head meat and pig's trotters. Cold pig's head meat, pig's trotters and pigskin jelly became the staple food around New Year's Day. In addition to eating, rich families will also specially invite yangko teams to perform at home, which will be lively and festive.
For the old Tianjin people, the main task of off-year is to send the kitchen god to heaven. Zhao Yongqiang, a gourmet, once described the scene in his memory in an article: "In the old days, in Tianjinwei, on the evening of the Lunar New Year, after putting out lanterns, vendors selling melons, pears, peaches, raw melon seeds and oily flowers, people shaving their heads and repairing shoes, scissors and kitchen knives wandered in the streets, and hawking came and went. At midnight, firecrackers sounded and people were seeing off the kitchen god. " Eating jiaozi as usual is also to see Kitchen God off. Interestingly, in the old society, from this day on, Tianjin people wanted to eat polished rice and white flour, commonly known as "changing rice".
In the rural areas of southern Anhui, besides sending stoves, the more important ceremony is to worship ancestors. In front of the ancestors' graves, light firecrackers and burn Mingbi, and then light candles or alcohol lamps to illuminate the ancestors' way home for dinner. In addition, from this day until the Lantern Festival, people will have dinner on the table behind the main room every morning and evening after washing their faces and feet to show their piety.
For many places, "sweeping dust", that is, cleaning houses, is also an important job on the day of off-year. When people clean up their houses, they also hope to sweep away all bad luck and dissatisfaction within one year.
If New Year's Day is the beginning of the Western New Year and the Spring Festival is the beginning of the China New Year, then off-year is the beginning of the "China New Year" composed of a series of festivals. There is a folk proverb circulating in southwest Shandong: "Sacrifice three furnaces, sweep four houses, chop five tofu, kill six pigs, kill seven chickens, make eight cakes, make nine table tennis and make ten pinches". Twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, offering sacrifices to the stove; On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, sweep the house; On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, chop tofu; On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, kill pigs; On the 27 th of the twelfth lunar month, kill chickens; On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, fried crispy vegetables (fried meatballs, tofu, yam, meat noodles, etc. ); On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, "Bing Ga" (chop dumpling stuffing); December 30th, "Pingga" (including Jiaozi). The old example in Tianjin is "twenty-three melon sticks (Guandong sugar), twenty-four cleaning houses, twenty-five pasting windows, twenty-six stewing meat, twenty-seven slaughtering cocks, twenty-eight white flour (preparing staple food), twenty-nine pasting (pasting Spring Festival couplets), and sitting for one night for thirty nights."
Nowadays, the traditional stoves have withdrawn from the life of urban residents, and the sacrificial activities are only kept in some rural areas. In the off-year, it seems that only traditional delicacies such as Guandong sugar, sesame cakes, pork-killing dishes and jiaozi are left to people. It is not only a small year, but also a New Year's Eve. Faced with the diversity of life choices and changes, the taste of New Year seems to fade in people's memory. But as the last article said, "You feel that life is boring because you lack a sense of ceremony", festivals seem to give people in a hurry a chance to rest and pursue taste.
Xiaonian, WeChat tweet 5. Snowflakes flew all night, and the mountains became thinner and the jade makeup changed. Today, this snow brings inconvenience to people's travel, but it makes the taste of the year more intense.
In my hometown, New Year's Eve is a day for the whole family to get together and worship the kitchen god. Although a little superstitious, it is also a prayer for a better life in the coming year. I remember when I was a child, on this day every year, I kept urging my mother to make pancakes to worship the kitchen god. Usually, pancakes become bigger, cut and shared, so the pancakes used to worship the kitchen god can't be separated, so I have to make them smaller. I will add one every leap month for twelve months a year. Probably because the number of pancakes today is limited, I always feel that today's pancakes are particularly fragrant. At that time, my family called me a greedy cat. ) Early in the morning, my mother cooked noodles and prepared pancakes in the afternoon. Like a follower, I have been chasing my mother and asking, is the noodles ready? When will the pancakes be ready? Everyone in the family laughed and joked, "Oh, what will such a greedy girl look like when she grows up!" " "I always curled my lips and said, eat first, no matter later.
Time flies, it's almost the age of no doubt, and my parents are almost 60 years old. Every year when I think of my childhood, I can't help laughing. Nowadays, people are busy all day, and they no longer regard off-year as so important. I am a nostalgic person, and I will inform my family outside in advance every year. I remember going home for reunion on New Year's Eve, and my parents will also talk about their children and whether they will go home today. Today, my mother and I got ready early and had a busy day, but our hearts were full of joy, looking forward to the family reunion, sitting around, eating the cakes I baked, thinking of the gluttonous girl of that year and laughing constantly.
On New Year's Eve, a beautiful night of reunion, harmony and peace of mind, we feel that the happy life we have been pursuing is as simple as that.
Off-year' WeChat pushes the sixth off-year refers to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month every year, on holidays, 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month, when the old customs worship the stove and eat jiaozi.
It is said that every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will tell the Jade Emperor about the good and evil of this family and let the Jade Emperor reward and punish them. Therefore, when sending stoves, people put candy, water, beans and grass on the console table in front of the kitchen god statue; Among them, the last three are the mounts of the kitchen god ascending to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the stove, you should melt the Guandong sugar with fire and put it on the mouth of the kitchen god. In this way, he can't speak ill of the jade emperor There is a folk custom that "men don't Yue Bai, women don't offer sacrifices to stoves", so the owner of offering sacrifices to stoves is limited to men.
In addition, on New Year's Eve, the Kitchen God will bring the gods to the world for the New Year, and there will be ceremonies of "receiving the kitchen" and "receiving the gods" on that day. Every family burns sedan chairs and horses, sprinkles three glasses of wine, and sends away the kitchen god, so it's their turn to worship their ancestors. No, in the afternoon, my grandmother asked my sister to pull weeds downstairs. I asked her why. He said to "feed the horses". I asked again, "Do you keep horses at home?" My sister replied, "No", and I asked, "What kind of horse did you feed?" "I don't know," my sister answered. I feel dizzy. When she came up, she gave me some grass and put it next to Kitchen God. It was originally prepared for the mount of the kitchen god ascending to heaven. In the evening, we (my grandmother, my sister) go down to give money to the kitchen god first, but after the money is burned, we should set off firecrackers. Grandma, neither my sister nor I dare to let go. Just then, my brother came with a small bag. What a coincidence! When my brother came over, my sister and I turned around and ran. I was timid and firecrackers were loud, so I went upstairs to see it. Unfortunately, when we ran upstairs, the whip had been pulled out. What a pity! As soon as it was over, grandma and them all came up.
Dad and grandma went upstairs to pack jiaozi. I don't know much about it. Let's eat jiaozi!
After eating a pack, grandma put it in the pot, but dad took the steamed stuffed bun slowly from upstairs, which was a step slower than grandma and had to wait for my brother to eat, so he ate more. Now that my brother is here, we'll start. Grandma said that my sister had just eaten some steamed buns upstairs. I'm surprised. She is seven years old. A few steamed buns were my appetite when I was three or four years old. So my father asked my sister to eat more. As soon as my sister sat down, she began to eat. It took me five minutes to eat 1 steamed stuffed bun, which means I'm almost full. The two of us sitting together for dinner is a sharp contrast!
Off-year is an exciting day, but there are better days (Chinese New Year). Then don't be so happy.
In the morning, I get up early. Because this is the day of sacrifice.
After breakfast, grandma led me to the street to buy sesame candy. On my way home, I saw passers-by holding a bag of sesame candy. I asked my grandmother, "Why do you want to eat sesame candy?" Grandma told me that it was used for offering sacrifices to stoves. "Is it the Kitchen God?" I can't wait to ask. She smiled and told me yes.
When we got home, grandma asked our family to sit around the dining table and told us the story of offering sacrifices to the stove.
Once upon a time, there was a man who had a great memory of cooking stoves. People called him the king of stoves. One day, the kitchen god suddenly fell ill. His younger brother wants to be separated from his parents. Later, my brother knew that he was wrong, admitted his mistake to his parents and posted his portrait at the door. One day, the Jade Emperor took the soul of the Kitchen God to the sky and named him Kitchen God.
So every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will tell the Jade Emperor about the behavior and morality of each family. On this day every year, people will pay homage to the Kitchen God and let him say something nice in front of the Jade Emperor on the last day, so that there will be a good harvest in the coming year.
After listening to the story, I realized that the meaning of off-year is to sacrifice to the kitchen god. So, with a heart of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, we put sesame candy in front of his ranking. ...
At night, I heard deafening firecrackers coming from downstairs. It's like thunderous gunfire, which reminds me of Kitchen God again.
Perhaps it is out of a beautiful vision for the future. I believe that in this pleasant living environment, people will continue to pass on the festival colors to the next generation. Let them live in rich knowledge and imagination full of dreams.
Earlier years, Wechat Tweet 8 Tonight, heavy snow is falling, and dazzling snowflakes illuminate the way home for wanderers. Tonight, the cold wind remains the same, and the whistling north wind summons the homesickness of the wanderer. Tonight, firecrackers are one after another, and the firecrackers that resound through the sky are announcing the arrival of the New Year.
Wandering around the window for a long time, thinking a lot. This year is about to turn over. At this midnight, I made a pot of coffee for myself, mixed with happy sucrose, and savored the hard work and harvest of this year. The bitter feeling permeates the heart, but leaves a trace of sweetness between the lips and teeth.
This year, I paid too much and took many detours. I feel that I am gradually maturing through hardships. I experienced the pain of failure and the joy of success on the way! I have cried, laughed, been lonely and helpless. I have asked myself more than once, what is the purpose of being far away from home and wandering around all day? While sweating and crying, I have been struggling to find the answer.
Friends always ask, are you happy in this life? Are you happy? I can't answer that. Everyone has different definitions of happiness and happiness. If you have love in your heart, you will feel happy! I also want to have the kind of happiness described by San Mao. In fact, no matter how tired we are, we can try to eat a candy every day and tell ourselves freely-today's day is really sweet!
On this night, I can finally unload my heavy backpack, shake off the dirt on my body and breathe the smell of the New Year easily. Take your bags, your thoughts, your blessings, and your days and nights of the year! After tonight, the day of family reunion is getting closer and closer! The worries in my heart will never be easily blown away by the wind. Just like the lyrics, I miss home, I really miss home! Home is our eternal root! Because in the distance, our parents and relatives are expecting!
Because in the distance, I was born and raised, and my hometown is pouring out my heart! No matter how far we drift outside, no matter whether we have traveled all over the cape and cliff, we will still remember the way home! I will still think of my hometown. That door! I really want to listen to the familiar local accent again, and I really want to drink the mountain springs in my hometown again! Even if we are no longer young and have a thick cocoon on our hands, in the eyes of our parents and relatives, we are still children who will never grow up!
It will always be like a kite that has just been released. Endless thoughts and reminders, strung together a solid long line, across the Qian Shan. One end of the thread is in our hands, but the other end is tied to our parents' hearts!
Tonight, love is in my heart. Because of love, I would rather give everything. In this rainy winter, I will feel free! Exhausted a year's efforts to ignite the desire in the heart, let the once wet mood turn into brilliant fireworks to bloom in this charming night sky, to light up the dream hometown missed by distant relatives!
Tonight, I am doomed not to sleep!
On the New Year's Eve, snowflakes fell quietly, and the faint firecrackers came from a distance, which had passed the thickest time. Sitting by the window, I saw people coming home late, and the lights flashed. Only this day and the silence of this place are left.
There will be a period of time, either happy or sad, or bright or hesitant.
Spring is sultry. Look at the flowers in spring, one after another, illuminating the whole spring. Spring grass sprouts and spring flowers bloom, even if it is sad, it is also happy;
Have a charming summer. I have been to a beautiful place by chance and met a beautiful place by chance. Just like the remaining lotus in summer, although it is not the most beautiful, it is the most pitiful Guang Chen;
There is a quiet language in autumn. Lie down and listen to the rain, open the skylight, have a cup of tea and taste a book. The years are gentle and calm, quiet and beautiful;
It snows all the long winter. It snows heavily and the weather is extremely cold. Only those warm, like the warmest body temperature of lovers, are warm, intimate and unintentional.
Which shot do you have in mind?
Is it a cold night? I sit in the back of your car. Look at you in the spotlight with a big towel. Very literary and cynical. Then you said to me: Let me song for you! Then you sing loudly, and I kick you. It seems that there has never been more than ten years in between. I am still the shy and crying girl in high school, and you are still the boy who likes my best friend. ...
Not brothers and sisters, not buddies, as if they were not bosom friends, but they made me so warm.
Will you come back? When I first met, I was a little girl, and I was in a daze for six years. How many years have we been apart? We met by chance, met by chance, and then parted. When we meet again, we are all mothers, with weathered faces and stories in our eyes. Fortunately, you still have blue eyes, and there are no signs of injury. What about me? Hehe ... still heartless, sentimental, in distress situation.
We still have so much to say, we will learn appreciate each other and tolerate each other's intolerance. How nice!
Oh, there is also the feeling of trust, the moonlight on the lotus pond sent in summer, and the thoughts wrapped around my wrist. ...
So many memories poured out and dispersed on New Year's Eve.
Look out the window, there is no flashing light. Have you all gone home? Only discerning and white world is so quiet.
On a cold night, if you have a home, you will feel at ease and be safe. Have you found a home for your heart? Be safe.
It is late at night. Ann.
