I. Relevant history
New Year's Eve dates are different in different parts of China. In history, there were four more significant days years ago. Winter Solstice, Worship to Kitchen God (December 24th), Chinese New Year's Eve (the day before New Year's Eve) and Chinese New Year's Eve (New Year's Eve). In the Song Dynasty, in order to save time, Lunar New Year's Eve and Kitchen God were merged into Lunar New Year's Eve, which was placed on December 24th. The theory of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove existed in the pre-Qin period.
"The Biography of Yin Shi in the Later Han Dynasty": "When Emperor Xuandi was proclaimed, the Yin-Tzu was the most filial and kind. Cooking in the morning on the twelfth day, and seeing the kitchen god, the child will worship and be celebrated again; There is an antelope in the family, so it is worshipped. After the sacrifice, it became extremely rich. " Since then, the custom of offering sacrifices to stoves has been handed down.
In the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was changed to the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Yuan and Ming Dynasties followed the old custom. In the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to "three officials, three people, four boatmen and five", that is, the government held a sacrifice on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the ordinary people on the 24th, and house boat held a sacrifice on the 25th. Later, the northern folk gradually evolved into twenty-three sacrificial stoves, and the south still followed the old habits.
The north was a political center before the Southern Song Dynasty, which was heavily influenced by bureaucracy, so the off-year was mostly the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. On the contrary, the south is far from the political center, and the off-year is the 24 th of the twelfth lunar month; The residents along the lake and the sea retain the tradition of boatmen, and the off-year is set on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
Second, around the New Year's Eve time:
1, northern region: 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
2. Southern region: the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
3. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangxi regions: The day when the kitchen god was sacrificed on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month was called "offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove", while the day before New Year's Eve was called "Lunar New Year's Eve". As opposed to "Lunar New Year's Eve" on New Year's Eve, both "Lunar New Year's Eve" and "Lunar New Year's Eve" here refer to the whole day, not necessarily the night, and there is no such thing as "Lunar New Year".
4. Taiwan Province area: the day before New Year's Eve.
5. Nanjing: The 15th day of the first month, that is, the Lantern Festival.
6. Some ethnic minority areas in the southwest and north: New Year's Eve (the New Year's Day is the first night of the year).
8. Parts of Yunnan: 16th day of the first month.
