Saying goodbye to the New Year means eating delicious food on New Year's Eve. The origin of the New Year's Eve dinner is called "reunion dinner", which is also called "reunion dinner", "family fun", "farewell wine" and "farewell wine" in some areas. The wind of resignation has been very popular since the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty. On that night, the flesh and blood were reunited, the children and grandchildren were around their knees, the red light was green and the wine was green, and the family was reunited. Then there is shou sui. The "Local Records" in the Zhou Dynasty of the Han Dynasty said: "On New Year's Eve, sitting by the fire, failing to sleep, this is called keeping the year.

"Many writers have poems that celebrate the longevity. Meng Haoran wrote: "Continue to draw candles, and keep the year to answer the feast." Du Fu once said, "Stay with Arjon's family, and pepper dishes are used to praise flowers." The wonderful sentence, guarding the happiness of the year, is vividly written.

In the case of having a family reunion dinner every year in the south of the Yangtze River, every household needs to close the gate. You can't talk loudly or beat the tableware. After eating the New Year's dinner, you need to tidy up the tableware on the dining table and then open the gate. This is called closing the door to gather wealth and opening the door.

The origin of the New Year's Eve dinner, this regulation, customs and habits, is said to have been handed down in order to better trick Tie Guai Li.

In the case of the original New Year's dinner, every household opened the gate. The Jade Emperor wanted to master the hardships of folk customs, so he sent Tie Guai Li to inquire at this time. Tie Guai Li is a lame man named Hua Xian. Therefore, when he was born to hesitate to eat New Year's dinner, he limped along the street with a bamboo basket and went to every house to beg. After begging for food, he showed the jade emperor the items he had asked for. You can tell at a glance which one is poor and which one is rich.

As a result, the rich, the jade emperor ordered the relevant immortals to make him suffer several disasters a year, not to be too rich; If he is poor, he will make a few fortune, so he need not be poor.

This matter gradually spread to the world, and a family of others, more treacherous than others, quickly thought of a solution. After the annual meal, the gate was firmly closed, and no one in the family was allowed to speak loudly. When Tie Guai Li came to beg, their family had already eaten the annual meal. When the gate was opened, the table was empty. Why did you give it to Tie Guai Li? Tie Guai Li saw that it was poor enough to afford a meal every year, so he left by putting several gold coins at his gate.

Now, this family has made a fortune, but _ has an airtight wall, and another family can see that their family has made a fortune, so they all follow suit. Who knows that when Tie Guai Li saw that every household was eating New Year's dinner with the door closed, he knew that everyone already knew his daily task, and he would never come to the world again to beg for food. However, the habit of stuttering with the door closed has been widely spread since then. .
