The annual Spring Festival is here again, the streets and alleys are bustling with activity, and the festival customs in each place have their own characteristics. Now, let me introduce the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival in Shiyan. Every Spring Festival, every household must post Spring Festival couplets. Spring couplets are a type of couplet, so named because they are posted during the Spring Festival. At first, people carved human figures in peach wood and hung them by the door to ward off evil spirits. Later, it was simplified to inscribing the name of the door god on the peach wood board. Spring couplets are mostly written on red paper, which represents good luck and happiness. Every Spring Festival, every household has the habit of staying up late on New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve dinner begins with the New Year's Eve dinner. This New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten slowly, starting from the time when the lanterns are turned on. Some people have to eat until late at night, but the children cannot bear their temper and simply run out to play together. The custom of keeping the year old includes not only a feeling of nostalgia for the passing years, but also a good hope for the coming New Year. When the New Year's bell rings at midnight, the sound of firecrackers fills the sky above the entire city. At this moment, some people still build a "strong fire" in the courtyard to show that the sky is full of energy and prosperity. Around the blazing fire, the children set off firecrackers and jumped happily. At this time, there were bright lights inside the house, brilliant sparks in front of the court, and loud noises outside, pushing the lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve to its climax. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, it is also the busiest time for housewives in the kitchen. The New Year dishes are prepared a few days ago, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is always made by the chef on the 30th day of the New Year. One dumpling must be made on the 30th. At this time, every chopping board was busy chopping meat and chopping vegetables. At this time, the sound of chopping boards and firecrackers, mixed with people's talking and laughter, come and go, filling the ears, intertwining into a cheerful New Year's Eve music. The New Year's Eve dinner is the most lively and joyful time for every family during the Spring Festival. The table is filled with sumptuous New Year dishes, and the family is reunited. Sitting around the table and having the reunion dinner together, the sense of fulfillment in my heart is really indescribable. People not only enjoy the table full of delicacies, but also enjoy the happy atmosphere. There are usually two things we can't do without here, one is hot pot. One is fish. The hot pot is boiling, steaming, warm and sultry, indicating that it is booming; "fish" and "yu" are homophonic, which symbolizes "abundance in auspicious celebrations" and also means "abundance every year". There are also radish, commonly known as cabbage, which is used to wish good luck; lobster, fried fish and other fried foods are used to wish prosperity for the family, just like "fire cooking oil". The last part is usually a sweet dish, wishing you a sweet life in the future. On this day, even if you don’t know how to drink, you should drink a little. For a time, there are endless descriptions of Shiyan’s festival customs. When you get here, you can feel its charm firsthand.
