Chinese New Year is a very important event for Chinese people, because during the Spring Festival, people who work hard outside will go home to reunite with their parents, and the customs are always different in every place.
I believe there are many customs in every place every year. On New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, every family has a family reunion dinner. Moreover, an indispensable dish on every dining table is fish, and fish can't be eaten, which means "more than one year". There must be sugar and peanuts on the dining table, and jujube is also essential, which represents "spring comes early". Of course, there are persimmon cakes on the dining table, which stands for "all the best", almonds at home, which stands for "happiness", and of course, there are rice cakes that everyone loves and flowers bloom, not only Shanxi people have the custom of eating rice cakes, but also many places in China have the custom of eating rice cakes, which stands for "high every year".
My home is in a small city in the south, so the custom of Chinese New Year is the same as that of most southerners. When southerners celebrate the New Year, apart from having New Year's Eve dinner, the breakfast I had on New Year's Day is also very famous. At that time, there was a good moral for the new year, so no matter how late the family slept on New Year's Eve, it was not allowed to sleep late on New Year's Day, because getting up early was equivalent to good weather for the next year. And the breakfast on New Year's Day needs to be cooked by a man at home. The reason is that women at home cook for the whole year, so let men experience the hard work of women cooking on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Eve, every family will also pack jiaozi, which is usually eaten at 12 o'clock in the evening, but after putting up couplets, my family will go to visit the ancestors' graves first and then come back to eat. It represents the intersection of the old year and the new year, also known as the intersection. When we pack jiaozi, we have to pack a few less peppers, candy bars and coins. If anyone eats peppers, it means that he has had a prosperous year; If someone eats candy, it means that he has a sweet life this year; If anyone gets a coin, it means money is rolling in. Not only that, the rural areas in Gansu always go to the mountain temple to invite the god of wealth and hang lanterns in front of the door on New Year's Eve.
At noon on New Year's Day, it is necessary to have a reunion dinner with family members. Although many people in some families struggle outside all the year round, they can only come back during the New Year. Therefore, at noon on New Year's Day, everyone must eat at home to get it, so that those who struggle outside can be safe and auspicious in the coming year.
The 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month are the busiest days for every household, because the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the day for offering sacrifices to the kitchen god, and on that day every household needs to buy a good tribute and send it to the kitchen god. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every family needs to clean their house. Because only by cleaning your house clean that day can you make the next year's home smooth and everyone at home safe.
In the new year, may we all be happy and have our dreams come true. In 223, we will seize the day, live up to our youth and move on.
