On the 16th night of the first month, we had dinner early and began to "carry baskets". The so-called "basket bucket" is to put some quicklime in a gauze bag and tie it to one end of the scale. The man took the other end of the scale and threw the gauze bag on the ground, leaving white spots on the ground. Of course, "carrying baskets and buckets" also has certain rules. Always "carry" from the riverside pier first, and then "carry" from the front patio and the house. When the "basket bucket" is over, there are many white spots everywhere in front of and behind the house. Because the more white dots, it indicates today.

The better the grain harvest every year.

2. Twist is sultry.

Your Excellency has passed the torch and gone home to fry the twist. Stir-frying dough twists means putting corn in an iron pot and frying it with fire. Some people have no corn, so they use rice instead. It is said that twist can fry the eyes of mice; The more corn is fried, the more rats die. When my parents fried dough twists at home, we were all playing with each other and continuing our own games.

Old people say that if Izayoi is scolded by others, it will be the luckiest, commonly known as "unlucky", and he can get rid of the bad luck for one year. So when the adults came home, several of our partners went to Aunt Wang's house, which is usually the most abusive on the farm, to scold them. The usual practice is three steps: knocking on the window, kicking the door and whipping.

3. Send cattle piles

The traditional custom of sending cattle piles on the 16th day of the first month in China has a long history. I didn't know about family planning at that time. Many families, whose first and second children were girls, always wanted another boy, so they invited others to give them cow stakes in order to survive. Many times, whoever sends a pile of cows can always get what he wants. So it was popular to send piles at that time.
