During the Spring Festival, the whole family is round and round. Besides exchanging feelings, eating is very important. Midnight dinner, also known as "New Year's Eve", refers to jiaozi at midnight on New Year's Eve. It took me a year to come to jiaozi. Therefore, everyone, rich or poor, should start eating this meal in jiaozi.
Jiaozi on New Year's Eve is different from usual. It means "making friends" at midnight. At that time, no one slept, waiting for the arrival of the new year, in order to "keep the old age", commonly known as "endure the new year." /kloc-When the bell rang at 0/2 o'clock, the steaming creature was one year older. Therefore, this kind of jiaozi rice is also called "aged rice". The family watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV. 1 1 After that, start wrapping jiaozi, and cook jiaozi before 12. Jiaozi cooks more water than usual, indicating that it will be "more than enough" in the coming year. We can't talk about jiaozi yet. We should call it "boiled silver with clear water". Jiaozi is boiled, so you can't say "broken" or "broken". To say "earn" is to make money and make a fortune. For good luck, people still wrap copper coins or red dates in more than a dozen jiaozi boxes, which is called "big money jiaozi". What they eat indicates that there will be great wealth in the new year.
Before eating jiaozi, you should set off firecrackers and hand out paper. Sending paper is burning paper, which means that the financial resources will be rolling in the coming year. Fishermen should send paper and set off firecrackers in front of the sea temple by the sea, praying for the sea god to bless the next year's sea safety, fish and shrimp in Man Cang.
Second, the generalized "New Year's Eve"
New Year's Eve in a broad sense refers to eating and drinking before the 15th of each month. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, every household should steam rice cakes, make rice cakes, make steamed buns and steam "gold ingots" and "worms". This kind of cake is mainly steamed with dates. Jujube cake has nine dates, and the smallest one is only five dates. The rice cake is mainly steamed with glutinous rice, sticky and sweet, which means "high every year". Yuanbao is made of flour and looks like Yuanbao. On new year's eve, put it in the cupboard and make a fortune. This "bug" is shaped like a little dragon. It is put in a barn and a noodle jar on New Year's Eve. The harvest next year will be good, and the grain will be Man Cang.
For good luck, many people who eat and drink during the Spring Festival have another name. Garlic is called "Yihe dish" because it is homophonic with "three". It is unlucky to be jealous, so it is called "taboo".
Third, worship ancestors and worship heaven.
On New Year's Eve, every household will invite their ancestors to "go home" for the New Year. The ceremony is "setting the bowl". The bottom of the bowl is padded with a basket of silk or something, the top of the bowl is covered with shiny things like fat spinach, and a pair of red chopsticks are inserted. Pancakes, bowls filled with all kinds of food and incense burners are all placed on a table. After worshipping heaven and earth and ancestor worship, family members can eat.
