Things not to be done in the Xiaonian. Things not to be done in the Xiaonian. Everyone knows about the New Year, but there is another Xiaonian before the Chinese New Year. Many young friends don’t know much about the Xiaonian. In fact, the Xiaonian is also very particular.
, let’s take a look at what Xiaonian can’t do.
Things not to do in the young year 1: 1. Women should not sacrifice themselves to the stove.
Sacrifice to the stove is one of the important customs of the Little New Year. According to legend, on the day of the Little New Year, the Kitchen God will go to heaven to report the good and evil deeds of the family this year to the Jade Emperor, and let the Jade Emperor give rewards and punishments. In order for the Kitchen God to go to heaven, people only say good things.
When offering sacrifices to the Stove, people will prepare candies, cakes and other tributes for the Stove Lord to eat, and write that the Stove Lord only speaks good things to God.
When offering sacrifices to the stove, it should be noted that only men in the family can offer sacrifices to the stove, and women cannot offer sacrifices to the stove. This is because the Stove Lord is a handsome man, and people worry that women will be fascinated by the Stove Lord if they offer sacrifices to the stove, so only men in the family can offer sacrifices to the stove.
.
2. The whole family arrives to offer sacrifices to the stove.
Xiaonian not only means the beginning of the New Year, but also means that it is time for those who work hard outside to go home to celebrate the New Year.
In many places in our country, there is a saying that "worshiping the stove or not, it is held all year round", which means that during the small year, the whole family will return home to celebrate the New Year together.
3. Do not kill.
Every year after entering the twelfth lunar month, every household in rural areas will start killing pigs for the New Year. People have to avoid many days when killing pigs for the New Year, such as not killing pigs on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, not killing pigs on the first day of the lunar month, and not killing pigs in the small year.
This is because the Little Year represents the arrival of the New Year, and animals are alive. If you kill animals during the Little Year, it will affect your fortune in the next year. Therefore, in order to have a good fortune in the New Year, kill animals during the Little Year.
Don't kill.
4. Don’t borrow anything.
I believe many people know that on the first day of the New Year, we cannot go to other people's homes to borrow things, and we do not want anyone to come to our own home to borrow things. This is because people think that borrowing things at the beginning of the New Year will not
It indicates that the family's wealth will also be borrowed this year.
This is also the reason why we can’t borrow things during the Little New Year. Because the Little New Year also symbolizes the beginning of the New Year, we can’t borrow things or lend out things at home during the Little New Year.
5. Don’t go back to your parents’ home.
In many places in our country, there is a custom that married daughters cannot return to their parents' families during their childhood. This is because in the past, due to the unequal relationship between men and women in society, people believed that after a daughter got married, she would no longer be a member of her own family.
If a daughter from her husband's family returns to her natal family, she will no longer go back to her own home as before, but will be like visiting relatives. When visiting relatives, she will be much more particular.
Xiaonian is a day when the whole family reunites. If a married daughter returns to her natal family during Xiaonian, her husband's family will not be able to reunite as a family, causing dissatisfaction with her husband's family. The natal family will also feel disgraced by the daughter's actions.
, so in the young years, a married daughter cannot return to her natal family.
Things not to do in Xiaonian 2: First: Don’t kill. The first thing to remember on Xiaonian is not to kill. Especially for the younger generation, you can’t kill any chickens or fish, because this is
It is a festive day. There is an old saying that after the Little New Year, it is the New Year, so the Little New Year is the beginning of the New Year. Do not kill animals on this day. If you cannot kill animals, how can you cook? Do you only eat vegetarian dishes?
You can prepare the meat and vegetables for the next day and put them in the refrigerator the day before the New Year, and this will solve the problem.
It can be seen that on this day, it is only forbidden to kill animals, but it is okay to eat meat.
Second: You can’t pound garlic. Another thing you can’t do on Xiaonian is pounding garlic.
Everyone should be familiar with pounding garlic, right?
The so-called pounding of garlic is to pound garlic cloves into garlic paste, which is used to add aroma and taste when cooking food.
You must remember that you cannot pound garlic on Xiaonian, because Xiaonian is the beginning of the new year. Crushing garlic on that day will scatter the joy and wealth of the new year, and will damage your family, so be sure to remember
.
Although many people may find it a bit ridiculous, this has been passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, so just follow it.
Third: Don’t complain and quarrel on the stove. On the day of Xiaonian, there is a common custom in the north and the south, which is to worship the Stove King. The purpose is to make the Stove King happy and go to the Jade Emperor to mention you.
Say good things to your family to ensure their health and harmony in the coming year.
