On New Year's Eve, no matter how far apart and how busy the work is, people always want to go back to their hometown for a reunion dinner. Sometimes when you really can't go home? Always keep a seat for him at home? Leave a pair of chopsticks to show your reunion with him. This kind of New Year's Eve dinner, also called "Family Fun", is a family dinner that people attach great importance to. As the saying goes, hit a thousand and scold ten thousand, and eat at thirty nights. ?
According to the traditional custom of our country, the food of New Year's Eve is very particular? There are generally wonton, jiaozi, long noodles, Yuanxiao and so on. ?
Eating wonton in the New Year takes its original meaning. According to legend, Pangu split the heavens and the earth, making "the light and clear air floating up into the sky and the heavy and turbid air into the earth", ending the chaotic state and making everything in the universe exist. Then take the homonym of "wonton" and "mud hoard" to indicate that the food is full. Jiaozi is one of the traditional foods in China? . Also known as eating flat or cooking cakes. In ancient times, there were only wonton, not jiaozi. Later, wonton was made into a crescent shape and became jiaozi. In the Tang Dynasty, the habit of eating jiaozi had spread to remote areas in China. ?
On New Year's Eve, at 12: 11, we started eating jiaozi, so it's time? , take its old and new alternation, the meaning of the arrival of the child. ?
We attach importance to New Year's Eve, that is, we attach importance to tradition and recognize our identity. In Erya Shi Tian, there is a saying: "Young people are called cooked rice, so they are named after old people", and "Nian" is regarded as a symbol of harvest, so everyone gets together to cook something delicious, and this celebration becomes a New Year's Eve dinner. ?
More importantly, this meal is a mere formality. When eating New Year's Eve, every family should have a dish, that is, whole fish, which means more than a year. In the south of our country, fish is the last course of the whole banquet. People don't really eat it, they just put it on the exhibition until next year, which means there is plenty of time. ?
In some areas, the whole fish is served as the first hot dish until the end of the banquet, and everyone symbolically takes a few bites. The fish on New Year's Eve is entrusted with people's good wishes for a prosperous family business and a surplus every year. Guangzhou people usually have Italian dishes such as "get rich first" and "get rich at the fair" on the New Year's Eve table, but this is just a matter of pleasing people, so everyone should do it seriously and devoutly. ?
China is very big, and the customs are different from place to place. There are obvious differences between the north and the south: in the north, eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve is homophonic "making friends is young", and some put sugar in jiaozi to pray for a sweeter life in the coming year; Others wrap a coin in jiaozi, and whoever eats it will make a fortune in the new year. ?
On New Year's Eve in the south, people usually eat Yuanxiao and rice cakes. Yuanxiao is also called "Tangyuan", "Tuanzi" and "Zi Yuan", with a lot of sugar in the middle, which means a happy and sweet family reunion. The rice cake is made of glutinous rice, which is homophonic "high every year". But on this day, people all over China rushed to this feast. How can you not be moved? ?
New Year's Eve stands for supremacy. On 30th this year, wise ancestors in ancient times will also forgive prisoners to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner, because this meal represents a person's supreme right to truly live in the world, which is irreplaceable by China people. A few years ago, director Bird filmed "Going Home for the New Year", which tells a story of human tolerance through female prisoners going home for New Year's Eve dinner. Finally, the film won back a "Humanitarian Spirit Award" for Bird. The New Year's Eve dinner has already gone beyond the category of "eating", and the things on the dinner table don't have to be eaten for the New Year. The meaning of New Year's Eve is not the food, but the warmth between people. ?
New Year's Eve is a symbol of happiness. No matter how miserable it is, it is worse than Yang Bailao. However, on 30th this year, Yang Bailao also wanted to buy a red rope for Xi and try to have a New Year's Eve dinner. Xi 'er's lyrics of "Dad brought back white flour and spent the New Year happily" let my parents know what "the foreshadowing of tragedy" means in the process of recalling the painful experience. ?
New Year's Eve means fundamental power, and overseas Chinese should feel it the most. Indonesian people were once forbidden to celebrate the Spring Festival in China. After former Indonesian President Wahid came to power, the ban on China people holding religious beliefs and folk activities in public was lifted. More than 30 years later, Chinese Indonesians were allowed to spend the Spring Festival without restriction, which re-embodied the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival and made this New Year's Eve dinner relaxed and comfortable. ?
New Year's Eve is the core centripetal force of China people, and the warmth of New Year's Eve is exactly such a kind of warmth engraved in the bones of the nation, warm in the greetings of family members, and boiling in everyone's blood. This kind of warmth is the mother's nagging under the New Year's Eve lamp, and it is also the persistence and sincerity of countless wanderers who braved the cold wind and stepped on the snow to get home. China people are most concerned about their closest relatives and feelings, and are deeply influenced by the "state of etiquette". But in modern society, many family members go their separate ways for their livelihood and development, and it is rare to get together at ordinary times. How pleasant it is to have dinner together, have a family dinner, speak out of turn, tell parting stories and feel about life!
Kanto New Year's Eve: Preserving ancient customs and interaction between Manchu and Han.
Cao Baoming, a famous folklorist in China, said that the New Year's Eve dinner is also called "reunion dinner" or "family happiness", because after eating this meal, it is necessary to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so it is also called "New Year's Eve dinner". In ancient times, people thought that the New Year's Eve dinner also had the functions of expelling epidemic diseases, exorcising evil spirits and strengthening the body. Therefore, the New Year's Eve is characterized by a family reunion dinner, which is attended by men, women and children. For this reunion, family members or children who go out must go home before New Year's Eve. If they don't come back in time, leave a space on the dining table for those who don't come back and put a pair of chopsticks to show family reunion.
The New Year's Eve dinner is usually the most abundant meal in a year among the farmers in Jiuguandong, and it will be ready on the 30th. There must be fish all over the table, which means more money, more vegetables and all the best in the new year. There must also be a bowl of braised meatballs to show family reunion. According to Zonggu's record of Jingchu's age, there was a custom of New Year's Eve dinner at least in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Kanto people have always said that "the poor celebrate the New Year, the rich celebrate the New Year, and they don't eat jiaozi during the New Year". Jiaozi appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are different legends and stories about the origin of jiaozi. However, Kanto people have always advocated that jiaozi, the first meal of the Spring Festival, should be eaten at midnight on New Year's Eve. This custom is spread all over the urban and rural areas of Guandong and passed down from generation to generation.
Nowadays, many farmers in Northeast China still maintain many ancient customs, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, setting off firecrackers and eating jiaozi. But in recent years, eating and drinking on New Year's Eve is no longer important. New Year's Eve has already gone beyond the category of' eating', but lies in the warmth between people, the greetings from family members and the warmth in warmth. There are both nostalgia for the dying old year and hope for the coming new year.
Chongqing Tujia new year's eve dinner: "braised meat" and "sea pepper stuffing" are indispensable.
Just entering the twelfth lunar month, Xu, a farmer in Hongxing Village, Banxi Township, Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County, Chongqing, is busy. In order to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner, it is impossible to prepare some essential traditional main courses ten and a half days before. Among them, the most important ones are "deduction of meat" and "reclamation of pepper". Xu said that "pork-cutting" seems simple, but it really takes some effort to be really fat but not greasy, tender and refreshing. "Sea pepper" is to mix glutinous rice flour with seasoning, then fill it into the hollowed-out sea pepper, and then marinate it in a pickle jar for half a month. On New Year's Eve, take it out and fry it in oil before serving.
Tujia people attach importance to these two dishes because it is rare to eat meat several times a year, and glutinous rice is also a rare thing. Therefore, every household regards these two dishes as an opportunity to show their skills at the New Year's Eve dinner, and at the same time, they also treat their families who have worked hard for a year.
Surprisingly, kelp once became the main course of Tujia New Year's Eve. Because of the difficulty in eating salt and poor medical conditions in Tujia areas in the past, people often suffer from big neck disease due to iodine deficiency. In order to supplement iodine for their families, Tujia people put a kelp on the New Year's Eve dinner to supplement the iodine needed by the human body. At that time, kelp was really good for Tujia people. "Delicious food" is impossible to eat often, so it has become a good dish for New Year's Eve. Nowadays, kelp has already withdrawn from the "stage" of the New Year's Eve.
After Tujia people have eaten the New Year's Eve dinner, each family will light a handful of firewood. Everyone will sit around and listen to the old people telling stories, and they will stay up until dawn, named "Shoutian Ridge" to express their love for the fields.
Korean: "Suijiu" and "Degu" occupy a special position.
Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province is the main inhabited area of Korean people in China, and the Spring Festival is also the traditional and most important festival for Korean people. Korean New Year's Eve dinner has its own traditional food and characteristics.
South Korea's New Year's Eve dinner is often very rich, with 70 or 80 plates large and small, and some families even reach hundreds of plates. Among them,' Laojiu' and' Degu' occupy a special position.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the reporter saw in the villages of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture that many Korean villagers were brewing "old wine". Koreans have the custom of drinking "New Year's Wine" on New Year's Eve. This kind of wine is mostly brewed before the "New Year's Day". The Lunar New Year is equivalent to the Spring Festival of the Han nationality. "New Year's Wine" is a kind of medicinal liquor with rice as the main raw material and a variety of Chinese herbal medicines. Used for drinking and entertaining guests during the Spring Festival, they think that drinking this wine can ward off evil spirits and prolong life.
"Degu" is a kind of soup cake, that is, after rice flour is steamed, it is mashed into a big sticky ball, then rubbed into oval round strips, cut into thin slices, poured into chicken, pheasant and beef soup pots, and then added with sesame oil or sesame oil and laver when eating, which is delicious.
On New Year's Eve, Korean women should wear beautiful national costumes. Most families start making cakes early in the morning. Although there are machines selling cakes now, I still like to make them with my own cake hammer, because the taste is still different.
On New Year's Eve, it is a very happy moment for the whole family to get together for dinner. The whole family will stay up all night. Different from the Han nationality, the Korean New Year's Eve party is mainly about singing and dancing, accompanied by the ancient music of the Korean Gayaqin and flute to welcome the New Year.
