Introduction of Shaoxing New Year customs;

In Shaoxing, when the twelfth lunar month comes, people are busy making preparations for the New Year: buying wine, making cakes, wrapping palm seeds, removing dust, killing chickens and geese, buying fish and meat, preparing clothes, shoes and hats for the New Year and buying gifts for relatives and friends ... People are as busy as bees.

Busy doing "blessing", "offering blessings" and performing "social drama" "Fu" is the most grand festival in every family year. Before making "Fu", clean the room, cook the "Five Sacrifices" and put them in a big plate of vermicelli. This arrangement has certain rules. For example, chickens and geese should kneel and kowtow to the gods to welcome them. A live carp is hung on the "Longmen" with a red rope through the backstab, and colored eyes are glued with red paper, which means "carp yue longmen".

At the ceremony, the family members knelt down and knocked nine times according to their seniority, and the atmosphere was very solemn. It is said that in earlier times, women were deprived of the qualification of blessing. Hum, how feudal! After the blessing, ancestor worship, commonly known as "please come back to the hall for soup and rice." When praying, the table is placed horizontally according to the wood grain on the desktop, but it is changed to be placed vertically when worshiping ancestors? ; When praying for blessings, sweeping monk bowed outward, and when worshipping ancestors, he bowed inward.

After the ancestor worship, it is "blessing", that is, cooking rice cakes or eating noodles with the juice of the blessing ceremony, indicating that the "blessing" given by God has been given to the family. This is also interesting. The biggest feature of Shaoxing Spring Festival is sacrifice and social drama. Sacrifice is also called "blessing sacrifice" in the local area. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every household sets dishes to worship the kitchen god for two days. In the local area, it is believed that the Kitchen God is not only in charge of the kitchen fire, but also inspects human peace and informs the Heaven Emperor.

The annual sacrifice is to "bribe" Kitchen God, let him say a few more good words in front of the Emperor of Heaven, and bless the good weather in the coming year. As for social drama, I heard that it is better. Other customs of Chinese New Year in Shaoxing and other places are similar. "Eat and drink on New Year's Eve, especially when wearing clothes", which is the * * * of Chinese New Year.
