1. Shave your head in the first month.
. In fact, there is a saying in many places that my uncle died after shaving his head in the first month. My uncle said that he was really innocent ... This statement actually originated from the entry of the Qing army and the demise of the Ming Dynasty. The rulers of the Qing dynasty asked their people to shave their heads for half a month, but some scholars swore allegiance to the former dynasty and refused to shave their heads. However, under the high-pressure policy, some literati had to compromise and stopped shouting "No shaving in the first month" to express their understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, this custom is really ridiculous. Miss Wang, a citizen of Changchun, is spending the New Year at her in-laws' home. She cut her bangs because they covered her eyes. Unexpectedly, her husband's uncle found out, which triggered family conflicts. Although we finally shook hands through family mediation, we still left a bad feeling in each other's hearts.
When the elders pay New Year greetings, they should kneel down and kowtow to them.
. The Chinese nation has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. In ancient times, it was really necessary to bow down to the elders on holidays. Now few families would do this, but Xiao Liu met such a family that insisted on ancient etiquette.
In the first year of marriage, little Liu Qu's husband's family celebrated the New Year. On New Year's Eve, my husband took Xiao Liu to kneel to her parents-in-law to pay New Year's greetings, and each of them gave her a big red envelope. Xiao Liu couldn't accept it, but he put up with it when he thought that he was his parents after all. Unexpectedly, on the first day of visiting relatives, she would kneel down to her elders to pay a New Year call. This is the conscience of heaven and earth. There is really a saying in Xiaoliu's family that only the dead kneel.
3. You can't sweep the floor or take out the garbage on the first day.
. There is a custom in many places, that is, you can't sweep the floor or take out the garbage on the first day of the New Year's Day, which will lose all your blessings.
In fact, this custom is groundless, but Yan Yan's husband's family has this custom. In the first year, Yan Yan went to her husband's house for the New Year. I don't know this statement. When I got up in the morning, I saw that the ground was a little dirty, so I swept it with a broom. Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law lost her temper and said that Yan Yan had swept away all the blessings at home. New Year's Day, unhappy.
4. Women can only cook but not serve.
. This custom can be said to be caused by the feudal idea that men are superior to women, or that some families still retain this custom.
Xin Wei has been married for three years, and she goes to her husband's house for the New Year every year. Xin Wei actually refused, because her husband's family is a big family to eat together, and all the women in the family are busy cooking for dozens of people in the kitchen. Most importantly, when they are busy, they are not allowed to eat at the table. They serve tea and water below, and only when the men at home have finished eating can they make do. All the year round, they think people are stupid.
5. You can't wash your hair from the first day to the seventh day.
. In fact, all the customs of the New Year are related to wealth and happiness. However, there is a custom in her husband's family that you can't wash your hair from the first day to the seventh day, which will wash away the wealth of this year.
Nowadays, young people don't have to wash their hair every day, but once every two days. They are not allowed to wash their hair for a week. They meet all kinds of relatives every day. Can they still see people? However, he said that every year when he comes home, he is super collapsed, and sometimes he can't stand it. He ran out quietly to wash his hair, and dared to go home when it was completely dry outside, just like being a thief.
6. Married daughters can't spend New Year's Eve at their parents' home.
. This is really the most abnormal custom I have ever seen. Everyone wants to spend New Year's Eve with their families. The best solution is to change it every other year, but if the bride's family or in-laws have this custom, it will be really embarrassing.
Lingling spent the Spring Festival in her husband's family for four consecutive years after her marriage. Lingling wants to go back to her hometown this year, but her husband and mother-in-law disagree. Finally Lingling quarreled with her husband. In a rage, Lingling went back to her family first, and her daughter was very wronged. Parents should naturally support her, which means spending the New Year at home. But the closer the year is, the worse my sister-in-law's family looks. Finally, on the morning of New Year's Eve, my brother told Lingling hesitantly that marrying a woman at home for the New Year would affect her family's fortune for one year and see if Lingling could go back to her husband's house. Or if you really don't want to go back, you can go to the hotel for the New Year's Eve.
In desperation, Lingling spent the night alone in the hotel on New Year's Eve, and it was no exaggeration to cry all night. Therefore, some people say that a married woman is the most pitiful, being an outsider in her husband's family and being a guest in her family.
What Spring Festival customs have you encountered that undermine the three views? Let's talk about it.
