Southwest Jiangxi and Ganzhou into the waxing moon, New Year's Eve before the two nodes are Lahai and the New Year, the two on the time there is a difference. Of course, Lahai are the same, but the time of the Lunar New Year in southwest Lu is Lunar New Year 23, while the time of the Lunar New Year in Ganxi is Lunar New Year 24, the difference is still quite large, as a northerner, I have been with my lover for the Lunar New Year of the time of the dispute, for a long time can not understand why the southerners will be twenty-four over the Lunar New Year, perhaps this is their own mindset into the stereotypes it!
Southwest of the small New Year is of course the dumplings, morning, noon, night can eat, this day the city's restaurants are basically full, especially the dumpling hall, eating dumplings, a crop of people after a crop of people, I and a few colleagues did not make it home in order to eat the dumplings to look for the three or four places to be counted in the row. The new year for the northern people also have the meaning of reunion, usually children will be about together to the old man's home to go to the dumplings, everyone together to have fun also let the old man feel the joy of family, in advance for the Spring Festival warm up.
Gansi South over the small year of course is a good wine and good food on the on, as the saying goes, "over the small year, every day is the year. The ordinary people from a table of hearty breakfast, the year will come.
In Southwest Lu, after a small year, people began to busy, for the city, the flavor of the year is getting lighter and lighter, kill the chicken to buy meat steamed buns, these things have been deliberately prepared, nothing more than the evening to take time to go to the supermarket to turn around, supermarkets, in addition to the first day of the day may close the door half a day, basically all will be open. Years ago, relatives and friends will also be "string of doors", after all, the holiday time is limited. And cleaning, packing the car, haircutting, bathing and other things is imperative in the Lunar New Year 28, 29 completed. Relative to the city, the countryside is still more lively, after the Lunar New Year's Eve, people and the need for a variety of rural fair to prepare the New Year's goods, firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, chickens, fish, vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, especially peanuts and melon seeds, in order to entertain friends and relatives, neighbors, young people like to prepare some of the tricks, such as red wine, bacon in the South, Northeast of the sauerkraut, some of the local did not have the cigarettes, white wine, beer, special snacks and so on. Steamed buns, flower cake, vegetable buns, meat buns, fried balls, noodles, do for the Taiwan chicken and fish and other traditional food is still popular, but the phenomenon of personal killing pigs, slaughtering sheep and has basically no, after all, livestock slaughtering is still relatively formal. After the year after the relatives is a major event, the original two bottles of wine two packages of walnut cake (stove fruit) is the standard, all to be prepared in advance, but we passed around the gift package is to change the kind of ceremonial sense of heavier some.
In Ganxinan, people do not have the habit of eating pasta, everyone's staple food is rice, so steaming steamed buns, prepare pasta has not been customary, but preserved chicken, preserved meat, preserved sausage is a must-have dishes in every household, of course, haircut, car wash, sweeping the house and the rest of the country are almost the same, but the southerners in the bathing problem and the northerners is a big difference between the people in Ganxinan people need to take a bath every day, no matter winter or summer, and Lusinan. No matter winter or summer, while the winter in Lunan, the vast majority of people are a few days to wash once, so the bathing problem, in Ganxi South people do not need to be able to prepare.
In Luxinan, New Year's Eve is a day of three dumplings, and to eat dumplings before the firecrackers, dumplings out of the pot after the first to honor the king of the stove, God, to give them dumplings and chopsticks, but also a ceremony, of course, the old people usually also read the words, is nothing more than "Zaowang, eat dumplings, eat them while they are still hot! After a minute or two, the dumplings are brought back for the family to eat, and it is said that eating the leftover dumplings from "Master Zao" or "God" will be "good". After breakfast to paste the Spring Festival couplets, New Year's Eve this day is not "New Year", cleaning, tidying up the house, organizing the room can also be carried out at the same time, and at noon this dumplings is more grand, usually go home and the elderly reunion to eat dumplings, the young people can not open the shine. In the afternoon to evening, each family will go to the ancestral tomb (old forest) to the "old grandparents" invited home to spend the New Year together to fulfill filial piety. In the southwestern home, we do not have the custom of New Year's Eve dinner, New Year's Eve at noon is a reunion dinner, and at night there may be a simple two dishes and then eat the leftover dumplings at noon. Before the meal still want to firecrackers, the children will be in the big market to buy mice, through the sky monkeys, open sky thunder, still guns, rowing guns and other fireworks are taken out to play. Women get together to talk about their families, while men play poker ......
In southwest Jiangxi, people bring out the best food and wine, including duck, preserved chicken, preserved meat, preserved sausage, spicy fried fish, roasted chicken feet, stewed chicken, fried bamboo shoots, hollow vegetables, meatballs, spicy fried garlic, fish soup, fried bullfrogs, rice wine, and so on. Let your intestines loose. The kids are also watching TV and the Spring Festival Gala, eating snacks and setting off fireworks, while the adults are getting together to play mahjong.
Both places are a time for relatives to get together, children who haven't been home for a year, parents, siblings, friends and classmates, all get together to talk about the sweet and sour of the year and share their achievements. And at twelve o'clock midnight, every place is on time across the New Year, firecrackers, flowers, God's country, a jubilation.
In southwest Lu, due to the influence of Confucius, the rural customs and rituals here are more, people in the family as a unit, to their own family and other family ancestors in front of the platform to worship, worship, usually kowtow four, of course, everyone will go to the older elders that kowtow to the New Year, all these are "rites of passage". The village is relatively large place, may be everyone to turn the morning, some usually rarely talk, meet the village people, are to take the opportunity to pay New Year's greetings to each other. And at noon, the family meal is also more sumptuous, will fry a few dishes, the family prepared chicken, duck, fish and meat this will be able to eat. Of course, there are many families or classmates choose to have a big party on this day, this day is the reunion time.
In the rural areas of southwest Jiangxi, in addition to firecrackers, eat a big meal, more and more people choose to walk around the neighborhood, Mingyue Mountain, Yichun Park, Yuanshan Park, People's Park, Beihu Park, Chuntai Park, Scholarship Chau Park, Zenbo Park, and so on, everywhere is the temple, lanterns, and other activities, due to the Spring Festival in the warmer temperatures, the major parks are already in a springtime, is just a great time to go out, and the family has a rare chance to get together, but also a lot of time for the family. Taking advantage of the holiday, the family is rare to get together, travel around, relax a bit.
Southwest Lu, the second return to the mother's home (older or mother's parents died is the child to go to the uncle's home), the third go aunt's home, the fourth go aunt's home (there is also the fourth return to the mother's home), the old traditional customs are still in the generations, especially the new aunt with a daughter-in-law to go to the house of the mother-in-law, that is in the middle of the year is a big deal ah, the aunt to bring a very heavy gift, what is the eight boxes of wine, eight chickens, eight meat, eight fish, eight gift boxes and so on and so forth. Fish, eight gift boxes, etc., etc., and the old man or brother-in-law or brother-in-law to find four or five companions, drinking in Shandong is a string of relatives must go through the program, and the more you drink, the more drunk, the greater the hospitality is the better, the more they show, the more real, excellent. Of course, not only the daughter back to the door, other guests to come to wine for joy, in southwest Shandong, string relatives can be the morning and noon, but more taboo night stay or dinner, to go to the relatives are men, at most with children, of course, the daughter will return to her mother's home is the exception. Some people have quite a criticism of the banquet women can not eat on the table, in fact, in addition to the traditional customs of a kind of circulation, but also because of the atmosphere caused by the men drinking at the table, a group of drunken people together, if not drinking is not willing to go to participate in, in fact, many times if the men do not drink the women's children are a piece of dinner.
Of course, in Gansinan, this woman is not on the table of the custom is not. Gansinan everyone string relatives of the day regulations are not strict, just to agree in advance, today to go to whose house, a few brothers or sisters will all go to a family get together. Generally there is no string of relatives in the morning, that is, at noon and in the evening, the host family will be prepared in advance to wine and rice, to go to the string of relatives in the family in addition to older people, the rest of all to go, because they are booked in advance of the time, so there is no need to worry about there will be other people to come. In Gannan, men smoke more, almost all middle-aged men smoke, while drinking is relatively small, in addition to their own family gatherings will drink a small amount of beer or rice wine, liquor is almost immobile. The most common recreational activities in Gannan is mahjong, popular to every household has a mahjong table, and in recent years are automatic mahjong table, more relatives will open two or three tables of mahjong, magnificent!
In fact, whether it is Southwest Lu or Ganxi, and even extended to the country, the Spring Festival has become a symbol of the Chinese people, a nostalgic feelings, a bay of nostalgia, a wandering outside the heart of the ultimate destination!
