1. Grade one. New Year's Day is the first day of the New Year in China. You can't sleep late. You should get up early to have breakfast, so that you can pay a New Year call. When I was a child, I stayed in bed for the New Year and was taught many times by my father. Every year, on the morning of New Year's Day, after breakfast, our two brothers will take their daughter-in-law and children to the uncle's house next door to pay New Year greetings, because the countryside pays attention to the order of the old and the young, and there are generations. My uncle is older than my father, so I should give him a New Year greeting first. When we arrive at my uncle's house, my cousins will give us more tea and cigarettes and greet each other with a happy New Year. After sitting for about ten minutes, we ended our New Year's greetings at my uncle's house and went back to our home, waiting for my cousins to pay a New Year's greetings to my father later. From my uncle's house, my aunt will give me and my brother's children lucky money. Generally, a child, 50 yuan, happily collected the lucky money and ran away. Later, my cousins will go to my house to pay a New Year call to their father. The procedure is the same as our uncle's. My parents will also give their children lucky money. 50 yuan for two children in a family, one child 100 yuan. Our family conditions are slightly better than my uncle's, and our parents are generous. We never care what his family gives us. Just to celebrate the new year. After New Year's greetings, our cousins gathered at a certain house for dinner at noon and took turns to be hosts for several days.
2. The next day. Because on the first day, I pay a New Year call at home, and on the second day, I usually go to my uncle's house to pay a New Year call. Let's pay attention to our mother and uncle here, shall we? . It is necessary to pay a New Year call to my uncle on the second day, otherwise it will be bad for my uncle to blame me. When we go to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, the two brothers will still go together. We will buy alcohol, tobacco and milk drinks in advance, and then drive together. At noon, we will have dinner at my uncle's house, and my cousins will try their best to accompany us to drink. In recent years, I can't drive because of drinking, and I don't advise drinking. After lunch at my uncle's house, my cousins will arrange some small programs, sometimes playing mahjong and sometimes pushing and arranging wine. The whole family will have a good time! After playing for a while, we will propose to go home, and then there will be a lively greeting, and the aunt will also give our children lucky money. These are rituals that have been established for many years, and we will not refuse them too much. After politeness, children will still receive lucky money.
3. Grade three. After visiting my family and uncle, I will pay a New Year call to my father-in-law on the third day. Sometimes my wife goes to her mother's house one day in advance, and we have to wait until the third day because we want to go to my uncle's house. Going to my father-in-law's house for New Year's greetings is still the same procedure. After lunch, my brothers-in-law will engage in economic activities for half an hour. They are all their own brothers and sisters, and whoever wins will be their own. We will all take turns to be bookmakers, and each person will push once. If you win, you will be rewarded for watching (euphemistically called eating noodles). If the dealer loses, we don't have to send it. When I go to my father-in-law's house for New Year's greetings, I usually spend the night there and don't come back at night. After dinner, I usually play mahjong with my two brothers-in-law, until about twelve o'clock in the evening, and sometimes I play all night.
Three days later, I will go to menstruation's home and menstruation's home to pay New Year greetings on the fourth and fifth days of grade four, and my cousins will also come to our home to pay New Year greetings in these days. Later, friends who often walk and some distant relatives will also walk around and pay New Year greetings to each other, which will last until the fifteenth day of the first month. This is a New Year greeting ceremony in our rural areas. It is a way for relatives to connect and enhance their feelings. It's a bit cumbersome, but the atmosphere is good.
Although the whole country is celebrating the Spring Festival, the customs of different places are quite different. Especially in urban life, there is no way to carry out folk activities, and many traditional customs have gradually faded out of people's lives. In the city, the places may be similar, and you can go to whoever you want. There are no strict rules. For various reasons, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker!
Comparatively speaking, many rural customs are completely inherited. Here, we will focus on introducing the Chinese New Year customs in Northwest China. On New Year's Eve, we attach great importance to reunion. We have a saying here that even broken chopsticks will go home on the 30th? . In other words, on New Year's Eve, no matter what happens, we must go home for reunion. That night, the elders led their children and grandchildren to get paper? It means to take the coffin of the dead ancestor home for the New Year and put paper? After receiving it, put it on the table in the main room for incense, drinks and various sacrifices. Is this called sitting on paper? My hometown still preserves the exquisite memorial tablets made by ancestors in the Qing Dynasty.
Because the family is huge, all parties in the family will accept paper? . Of course, the Dafang family inherited the earliest ancestor, which is also our common ancestor. All family members will inherit their ancestors after meeting their common ancestors (because the family has been handed down for seven generations and there are many branches, why not sit on paper? There are more than a dozen). On New Year's Day, my family sat on paper? Does every household worship paper? It means kowtowing and offering incense to each ancestor. On this day, we usually don't visit relatives, but take a walk in our family's home, which means spending the New Year with our ancestors at home.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I usually pay a New Year call to my uncle. Outside here, my uncle is as big as the sky, which is equivalent to my father's existence. I usually say a few words to my parents, but I dare not say it to my uncle. I have something important, such as marrying a daughter-in-law, so I have to invite my uncle myself. Early this morning, I rushed to my uncle's house and kowtowed to my uncle to pay New Year's greetings (we also practice bowing here).
You can also transfer relatives on the third day of the Lunar New Year, such as going to menstruation's house and sister's house. But most of the time we don't visit relatives this day, even if we do, we have to go home at night because we have to deliver paper at night? It means to send your ancestors away. Can we sit on the paper? Sit for three days and deliver paper on New Year's Eve? .
Every place has different customs and manners. The rule in our hometown is like this.
On the second day of junior high school, I worshipped my aunt. I'm going to visit menstruation's house on the second day of junior high school, because none of them want to take their ancestors home for the New Year. Is this called receiving god? . The married daughter is a foreigner and can't see her ancestors. Therefore, on the second day, the married daughter can't stay at her parents' house, and the younger generation will go to her aunt's house to pay a New Year call.
Go back to my mother's house on the third day and the fourth day. Wait until the next night to send god? After that, the married daughter can take her son-in-law and grandson to pay a New Year call to her grandparents.
It's the Spring Festival, and it's essential. Different places have different customs, so I will talk about our customs in general.
Local coordinates, Liaocheng, Shandong.
Let's talk about New Year's Day first. You must get up early in the morning. After eating early, I began to pay a collective New Year call to my family. Generally, a group of men and a group of women get together in a family home, and then a dozen people begin to pay New Year greetings. New Year's greetings are all door-to-door, and everyone with old people should go to New Year's greetings. Men will kowtow to the elderly, and women will come out with a few words of blessing. Generally, older uncles and aunts take the lead, and our younger generation just follows behind. Sometimes the people inside come out before entering the house?
On the morning of the first day, there was basically nothing. The emphasis here is on climbing in the new year, which means getting higher every year. At that time, people of all ages will go out to play. My family has a mountain, so when I was a child, I would take delicious food to climb the mountain. Not at my husband's house. People here go to the dam to play the Yellow River Dam. It's lively, like a market?
The next day, it was the day when monks and girls returned to their parents' homes. She took the children and her children, and put forward her bag. The family went back to her parents' home with great excitement. Old parents will prepare rich meals early and go out again and again to see if the children arrive early.
When I go back to my parents' house the next day, the first three years of marriage are the most important. I have been an old guest for three years, so I don't have that many rules. Moreover, our family is willing to return gifts and cakes, which means climbing step by step. Three years before marriage, the flower cakes grew bigger every year. Remember when we came back, the flower cake was steamed in a big pot, which was very delicious and had many dates?
I haven't paid much attention since the third grade, and I began to visit relatives. Those who just started to leave, such as menstruation's, menstruation's and uncle's, usually call in advance to make an appointment, so as not to be empty. ?
Chinese New Year is really hard, but many relatives seldom get together once a year. It is also excellent to have a good chat during the Spring Festival.
We can learn from each other how the traditional Spring Festival in China is spent, especially the first three days of the Spring Festival are the most interesting, but remind everyone to pay attention to safety, more people and cars, and be kind to celebrate the New Year.
So how did you spend these three days there? Who will go home for the New Year? Understandably, relatives who go within these three days must be very important.
In the former countryside, because there were too many relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts felt that these three days passed very quickly every year, and they couldn't wait for the time to pass slowly. In our country, on New Year's Day, we don't go out to visit relatives, but our families walk around each other. It can be said that it is a round and round day, and the family is happy, especially on the first day of the New Year. Of course, red envelopes are definitely indispensable. It is also the most unforgettable day for grandparents, parents and uncles to pay New Year greetings. Rural people will visit each other at home on this day.
I began to visit relatives on the second day of the lunar new year. My sister, aunt and nephew are coming to our house these days, so my home is the busiest on the second day of the New Year. I'm going to cook for everyone and bring out the best food at home, because many old relatives are gone, all of them are old cousins. They all sit for a while and leave as soon as they get a red envelope. Maybe this is the way of the world.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, we began to visit relatives formally. Of course, many old relatives are also browsing. In fact, I don't like this day the most, because I am really tired. Of course, my sister and father-in-law can't go through the process. They always go to the earliest one and come back at the latest.
I used to be particular, such as going to my uncle menstruation's house first, and then to menstruation's house. Now that there are fewer relatives, there is nothing to pay attention to. Just be happy. Do you like China New Year? Let's talk about Chinese New Year.
On the first day of New Year's Day, our people have the custom of welcoming the New Year. Custom experts say that New Year greetings are handed down from generation to generation by China people, and they are a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and express their good wishes to each other. People usually have four ways to pay New Year greetings. Zhao Zhi Heng, an expert on Tianjin customs, said that on this day, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes and dress neatly, and go out to visit relatives and friends and wish each other a happy New Year. Ancient New Year greetings? The original meaning of this word is to pay New Year greetings to the elderly, including kowtowing to the elderly, congratulating them on a happy New Year and saying hello to a good day. But today, if you meet friends and relatives of the same generation, you should also salute and congratulate each other. According to different social relations, there are four types of folk New Year greetings. First, visit relatives: be sure to visit your father-in-law and relatives; The second is a courtesy visit: to pay New Year greetings to partners and friends; Third, thank you for visiting: anyone who owes others a favor in the past year should buy some gifts to express his gratitude by paying a New Year call; Fourth, home visit: pay a courtesy visit to neighbors. Custom experts said that with the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and ways. Nowadays, in addition to the traditional way of paying New Year greetings, people also begin to pay New Year greetings through courtesy telegrams, telephones, short messages and the Internet. Although not so sentimental, it is convenient, fast, economical and labor-saving, especially popular with young people. Yes . I'm from the northwest. . It's a student. The first grade can only be spent at home. Thirty is my milk. The next day, my mother and I went back to my parents' house to see my grandmother, and on the sixth day, we visited relatives. First, people are busy and sleepy, so they are thirty years old. Second, are there any taboos? It is inconvenient for women to go out. Third, the cost of showing kindness is too high now. The first day was too strong, and my mother asked me to visit someone else's house on the tenth day. You can prevaricate the annual money. The world has gone bad? . Fourth, the calendar doesn't say that you can't go out on the first day. . But it depends on who you admire. If being an official is the best. . Because there were the least people there that day. If you miss grandma very much. I left in a hurry and my grandmothers were lonely every day.
