The origin of reunion dinner
New Year's Eve is also called reunion dinner. New Year's Eve is extremely important for Chinese people. On this day, people are ready to get rid of the old and welcome the new and have a family reunion dinner. In ancient China, some prison officials even let prisoners go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, which shows how important the "reunion dinner" is to ancient China people. ?
Speaking of the sound of the anvil on New Year's Eve, Deng Yunxiang's "Yanjing Local Records" recorded a very bleak story on New Year's Eve: in the old society, the poor had a hard life, and the 30 th night was a pass. There is a family whose husband hasn't returned with money until late at night. "There are no bottles of millet at home, and there are no new year's goods.
When a woman put her child to sleep at home, she was at a loss. She heard the chopping block next door, and it was extremely painful. I wondered if her husband could bring some money or something back. I didn't know how to spend the year tomorrow, and I was afraid that there was no chopping block at home to make people laugh. So she took a knife and cut the chopping block empty, while thumping, while tears fell. This story was really sad.
