Old Beijingers pay special attention to "Chinese New Year", so there will be: the wife is not greedy, Laba porridge is the annual Laba porridge. After drinking for a few days, honey melon sticks, Lili Lala 23, 24, 24, sweeping the house, 25, frying tofu, 26, stewed mutton, 27, killing cock, the second 28, superficial fat, 29, steamed stuffed bun, boiled. Storytelling porridge, fried tofu, stewed mutton, etc. They are all the necessities of China people. Today in old Beijing, these are commonplace, only in the fifties and sixties before the Chinese New Year.
Of course, the above kinds of foods are not only abundant during the Spring Festival. For example, Sakyami, an ancient cake for ancestor worship, is not only the food of ethnic minorities such as Manchu and Mongolian in Beijing, but also a necessary food for Beijingers. Some come from Beijing, which is an old custom. They eat fish well on New Year's Eve. Fish must be carp, which was originally based on the naming ceremony. Later, the auspicious words of "Qing Ji Yu Yu" were associated with fish food.
As for the New Year's Eve dinner, Bao jiaozi is used to worship jiaozi, a vegetarian stuffing. Everyone eats meat, and those who live in rich countries mix meat with vegetables. Even the poorest people eat jiaozi's "programs", and the Chinese New Year is not less. In jiaozi, well-known delicacies, such as rice cakes and "Old Beijing", they have "soy sauce-skin, tofu, soybeans, mung beans, water, mustard and other cold dishes, such as colored amber, similar to" frozen children ". Apart from mustard Denner, it is used with wine and appetizers. Festivals that eat greasy food are more likely to add fuel to the fire, and "phlegm" dishes can make up for this deficiency.
All kinds of meat and vegetable dishes are now prepared by Beijingers. They also prepare sweets, nuts, seeds and salads for children. The so-called "salad" is all kinds of preserved fruits today. When people sit around the fire to celebrate the New Year, Eve talks about delicious food at one age.
Today, almost all the sacrifices and traditional foods worshipped by the ancestors of this name have been preserved, but they are not so obvious. As for today's Chinese New Year, only "abundance" can be used to summarize Sichuan-Shandong cuisine and fresh seafood, which will appear in the homes of ordinary people and on the dinner table on New Year's Eve. People who emphasize "new varieties" will go to the front of the hotel to celebrate the New Year!
Eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival: The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is also considered as a festival in old Beijing. For this day, of course, the most important thing for every household is to cook Laba porridge. There are several different versions of the origin of Laba: some say it is a sacrifice to Shennong, some say it is a memorial to Yue Fei, and some say it was handed down by the emperor. However, the most widely circulated statement is considered to be in memory of the Buddha.
According to the Buddhist "Puyao", Sakyamuni became a monk and escaped from the palace. Buddha loved mountains and studied classics, and lived in the mountains for six years. When the school where he graduated was full, it was in China, which is what the general Buddhism said: "Sakyamuni's enlightenment began in the twelfth month." Karma recorded Sakyamuni's six-year asceticism. He takes part in personal food and clothing and can only eat hemp and wheat, but he can't feed all the year round. When he graduated from school, he was a broken shoe and skinny. Tired of walking down his Fodu Mountain, he sat in Nepal and even begged in jiangbiancun. The cowherd woman in the village, a bowl of Bangladeshi aid and milk, cooked and eaten, soon recovered the body of Sakyamuni Buddha. After the prosperity of Buddhism, in order to commemorate this event, the "fasting monk" of ancient Indians on this day and the daily diet of the poor and charities were stipulated. When Buddhism was introduced into China, charity gradually became a custom-made "Laba porridge" on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the morning of February 8, 65438, in Beijing, the capital of Beijing, temples and porridge with Qibao flavor were delivered. "Seven treasures and five flavors porridge" means "Labaguan was written in the Ming Dynasty, saying" Heaven ".

Until now, most people in the Yangtze River valley, northeast and northwest of China still keep the custom of eating Laba porridge.
Laba porridge uses a lot of materials. Generally, kidney beans, peas, red beans, cowpeas, mung beans, millet, rice, sorghum and Mi Dou rice are mixed together, dried fruits such as red dates and chestnuts are added, and seasonings such as brown sugar, white sugar, roses and osmanthus are added when cooking and drinking. Please note that glutinous rice, coix seed rice, water chestnut rice, chicken head rice and lotus seed meat are mixed together to cook porridge, and then covered with candied crystal fruit, litchi, longan, pine nuts, walnut kernel and black hair, their names, but the model of selling emotional children is really delicious. Eating a bowl of steaming porridge in winter is nutritious, which really increases happiness and prolongs life.
In addition to cooking Laba porridge, there is also the folk custom of soaking Laba garlic. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, peeled garlic cloves are put in a jar, filled with vinegar, and placed in a warm place for children, only for children who like to eat New Year's Eve in jiaozi. Children who have soaked in cloves are green as jade, and children with sour holes taste a little spicy, which is really special.

"Song Xin Er Laba porridge" is widely circulated among the people: in the creditor's website of Laba porridge, the debts paid are related. Generally, there is no debt on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
King No.23: On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, every family in old Beijing is in a hurry. Beijing folk song "Door God Furnace" sings: "I go home for a busy family every year, and I will go to the king on the 23rd. Add black hay and a bowl of water on both sides, burn incense in the stove, and put two plates of sugar on the table. I hope the busyness leads to praise, praise auspicious decline, and I hope the kitchen god. "This is the first time that folk songs describe the grand occasion and real scene of every household in old Beijing.
Vesta of Shang Dynasty said. Zhuangzi Sheng Da's articles are harmful. The bun, Vesta, is an extraordinary symbol, shaped like a beautiful one "Huainanzi Thinking Training" said, "Emperor Yan died of fire, so he used it to burn the stove."

It is said that the kitchen god knows the good and evil of every household in the world. This is relevant. He said, "God did a good deed and went back to the palace for good luck. When the chef returned to the palace. Probably before the Spring Festival. Good luck in the new year, but every peace is a good wish.
Kitchen God is also a Vulcan. The name of Vulcan Zhu Rong, or Hui Lu. The legendary Vulcan, the fire-fighting facility in Chi Di, was later considered by fire officials. As the emperor's animal fire officer, this Vulcan is respected by later generations. Vulcan, for the benefit of mankind, has become synonymous with fire. Old Beijingers offer sacrifices to Vulcan and kitchen soldiers. Since ancient times, dry weather has been a fire around the Spring Festival. It is very necessary to sink the fire.
What he said: "Song Xiner's Laba porridge, terrible Guandong sugar helps to cook cakes" refers to the information of Laba Festival. In the coming Spring Festival and New Year, creditors will force debts, and the 23rd is the most critical time, which is terrible Guandong sugar. Most creditors can't ban it after eating jiaozi at midnight on New Year's Eve. Some poor families are hungry to eat. How can they afford the Kwantung sugar sacrifice stove? Old Beijing folk songs are also legendary chefs, surnamed Zhang, with a bowl of cold water and three incense sticks. This year, the children are poor, and they will eat Guandong sugar next year. "It turns out that Beijing's multi-stove Longwang Temple is the kitchen of every household. Besides, except for a few people, almost all Han people are anxious about Wang's customs. Vesta is the kitchen god worshipped by the people, also known as the kitchen god, the kitchen god and the god in the kitchen. Primitive people thanked the inventor of fire. Every summer, their ancestors worship him. He is a symbol of summer fire and a stove. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, everyday candy is noisy and vulgar. There is a saying in northern China, "Twenty-three honeydew melon stickers, twenty-five honeydew melons to sweep away the dust." Dust removal is not only beneficial to the environment, health and good fire control, because some combustible garbage is completely removed, which is obviously a fire factor.
Sweeping houses on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month: "Sweeping the Year Wind" prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. Song Wumu's Dream of Liang Lu is like this: "It was written in June+February, 5438 ... No matter the size of the house, all the doors swept the dust and dirt on the road, and the courtyard households were cleaned up ... and prayed for a new year." The experience passed down from generation to generation formed the scanning room of China New Year before the customs. Even ethnic minorities and the poor have to clean their rooms. This is not only to prepare for the lower world of the gods, but also an act of erasing an unpleasant smell, bad luck and poverty. Cleaning the room is troublesome, but don't pursue it.

Celebrating New Year's Eve has two meanings. For most people who celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, Jane is borrowing time. Young people celebrate New Year's Eve to prolong their parents' life. Setting off firecrackers to celebrate the Spring Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. The ancient people burned bamboo, which was called "firecrackers". "The popular comedian said," The ancient firecrackers were really bamboo, so China's poems were also called explosive heat. Whose descendants roll, indicating firecrackers. "The original intention of firecrackers is fear and fear to drive away evil spirits. When Jingchu was old, he wrote: "Oh, on the third day, the chicken in front of the vestibule called firecrackers and offered a mandrill to a devil. "Nerve" says: "Xiyan Zhang Ziyu is not afraid of people, and she is hot and cold. It is called mandrill. Bamboo fire, buzz, fear of mandrill.
Descendants, its shape, gunpowder man. "Of course, this is a superstition. Today, we will set off firecrackers. Although we are old and welcome an auspicious Zhao Tou in Italy, we are not superstitious.
Spring Festival-Lion Dance
In addition to the old year, firecrackers sounded. On the vast land of China, traditional lion dance activities, warm spring breeze and joyful gongs and drums appeared in cities and rural areas. Every year, the Spring Festival adds a wealth of joy.
Lion dance is a traditional folk sport in China, which originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
According to legend, in the 23rd year of Yue Yuanjia, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty (AD 466), Song Jiaozhou's envoy made a secretariat attack, illegally invaded the DPRK, and cut down forests in an orderly manner, which Lin Fanyang used as a war. Army soldiers ride on the backs of tall elephants with spears, so it is difficult to contact enemies with short weapons. Soldiers near the elephant began to suffer heavy losses. Later, General Fang Zhenwu, the pioneer officer, thought of a way. He said that wild animals are afraid of lions and elephants, and may be no exception. On the horse's face at night, there are many fake lions with colorful and special mouths. Each "lion" was covered by two soldiers and hidden in the grass. He also plans to dig a deep and wide trap on the battlefield. Driving like an enemy in a military attack, but releasing a fake lion and a bow, the "lion" made a bloody big mouth, turned over and took the elephant with its claws.
The elephant turned around in fear and ran away. It also took the opportunity to order soldiers to put all their crossbows together. The frightened elephant suddenly ran around like crazy, and the trap was picked out, as if it were all captured alive. "... since then, lions have been in the army first and then spread to the people. Xiliang made The Poet of the Tang Dynasty dress up as a barbarian lion, carved wooden tails, gilded eyes and silver teeth, lifted sweaters and shook his ears ... "Look, there was a similar modern lion dance in the Tang Dynasty.
Why do people like to dance lions during the Spring Festival? Some people say that in the early Ming Dynasty, a monster appeared in Foshan, Guangdong. Every era has destroyed crops and hurt people, livestock and farmers' associations all over the suburbs of Foshan. In order to cope with their pain, people tied several lion models to bamboo grates in advance and painted them with mottled colors. When the monster appeared, the golden gong and the lion danced together to the monster at the other end. The monster was frightened and turned and ran. After that, the local villagers thought that lions exorcised demons. Therefore, playing gongs and drums, going door-to-door and dancing lions during the Spring Festival every year show consumers the auspicious meaning of pesticide prediction.
Besides the Spring Festival, lion dancing is also very interesting on festive days. Generally speaking, the folk lion dance is played by two people (in some places, it is said to be a lion). One person pretends to be a lion (in some aspects, he is a Leo), and the other person plays a samurai with hydrangea as a guide, and the first one kicks and lures the lion dance. With the fast, slow, light and heavy drums, the lion suddenly went down eagerly, suddenly turned back, suddenly turned around, suddenly crawled to the ground, and suddenly chased the tail. The style was diverse and interesting, imitating actions, licking hair, wiping feet, scratching his head, washing his ears, worshiping rolling, crossing three mountains, coming out of the hole, going down the mountain, rolling the ball, spitting the ball, and greening the balcony.
Spring Festival-Playing Dragon Lantern
During the Spring Festival, in most of our towns, we have the habit of playing with dragon lanterns.
Playing dragon lanterns, also called dragon dancing, is a popular folk dance in China.
The ancient people of China created the image of a dragon and expressed their good wishes. According to legend, the ancient dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and turtles were called the Four Spirits. Fashionable, colorful, rigid and flexible lines. In the long river of history, it shines with unique artistic brilliance. As early as Shang and Yin Dynasties, bronze wares and bones were engraved with dragon-shaped patterns, and the bronze dragons of Zhou Dynasty had become relatively complete. Playing with dragon lanterns was quite popular among people in the Han Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, "social fire", wonderful performances by dance teams and playing with dragon lanterns were common forms, which were a manifestation of animal husbandry in the Song Dynasty. "Liang Lumeng" records: Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) people in the Southern Song Dynasty, "On the Lantern Festival night ... the grass is tied into a dragon, the green curtain is covered with grass, and the lights and candles are densely arranged 10000, and the wind looks like a dragon."
In ancient times, the "dragon", as the embodiment of good luck, represented people's good weather, dancing dragons and praying for blessings, so as to achieve a good harvest season. Interesting people are bound by bamboo and iron, and after performing cheerful emotions with silk or cloth dragon dances, folk artists continue to process and manufacture them. Now, playing dragon lanterns has developed into a perfect form, with considerable performance skills and folk romantic dance art, which is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people.
