Introduction to the Customs of Spring Festival in China

The customs of the Spring Festival are as follows:

1. In China, the Spring Festival usually begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. Sacrificing a stove is a custom that has great influence and spread widely among the people in our country. In the old days, almost every kitchen had a "kitchen god" god.

2. "On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, dust sweeps the house." According to "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals", China had the custom of sweeping dust during the Spring Festival in the Yao and Shun era. According to the folk saying: Because of the homonym of "dust" and "Chen", sweeping dust in the Spring Festival has the meaning of "except Chen Buxin", and its intention is to sweep away all bad luck and bad luck. This custom is entrusted with people's desire to break through the old and establish the new and their prayer to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment, clean all kinds of appliances, tear down and wash bedding curtains, sweep the six yards, dust cobwebs and dredge open channels and culverts. Everywhere is filled with the joyful atmosphere of engaging in sanitation and welcoming the Spring Festival cleanly.

3. According to the old custom, when the kitchen god went to heaven, the Jade Emperor personally went down on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to investigate the good and evil on earth and decide the fortunes of the coming year. Therefore, every family offered a blessing, which is called "receiving the Jade Emperor". On this day, we should be careful in our daily life and words, and strive for good performance in order to win the favor of the Jade Emperor and bring good fortune to the coming year.

4. In traditional folk customs, it is necessary to take a bath and wash clothes intensively in these two days to get rid of the bad luck of one year and prepare for the Spring Festival next year. There is a proverb in Beijing that "twenty-seven washes the ill and twenty-eight washes the sloppy". Bathing on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is "washing Fulu".

5. On New Year's Eve of the twelfth lunar month, people stick up the door gods, put up Spring Festival couplets, watch the New Year's Eve, firecrackers, eat New Year's Eve, give lucky money, and pay homage to their ancestors.

New Year's Eve means "the month is poor and the old is exhausted", and people have to get rid of the old and get rid of the new, which means to get a new one next year. It is the last night of the lunar year. Therefore, the activities during this period are centered on eliminating the old and renewing the new, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. Solemnly declare: the answer is for reference only, please don't be blindly superstitious.
