Every household should stay at home, prepare rich fruits, burn incense, light candles and set off firecrackers to show their welcome. But in the north, nephews can go to see their aunts, "aunts, uncles, and relatives, breaking bones and connecting tendons, regardless of each other's family." In the south, on the other hand, some areas pay attention to going out to work on the fourth day to make money, which means going out to have something to do.
Although these statements are nonsense, they meet the requirement that people need to adjust at home one day during the continuous holidays.
The custom of the fourth day of lunar new year's eve
1, good news and bad luck on the fourth day of the lunar new year's day
In fact, people used to say "Happy New Year" when they met before without any tools such as network communication. However, modern people have neglected politeness. This is also one of the reasons why people are said to be "warm and cold." Now, if you don't meet in the streets, say Happy New Year. At least when you answer the phone, say a word of good news. This is a courtesy, and it is also the custom of getting rid of bad luck in the fourth day of the fourth year.
2. On the fourth night of New Year's Eve, the whole family eats "Luo Luo" together.
Perhaps this statement is rarely heard by people nowadays, and there is no such habit. In fact, now, during the Spring Festival, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, everyone gets together for dinner every day. It's either my aunt's visit, my daughter's return to her parents' home, or that relative's good. That relative goes and there are good dishes to eat every day during the Spring Festival. But people are lazy now.
It's really troublesome to get seven or eight dishes by yourself. Everyone likes to eat in restaurants and hotels outside. Therefore, "folding Luo" is basically inedible. The so-called "folding Luo" is to cook all the leftovers from a few days ago for dinner, and the leftovers are clean, which means "throwing away the poor".
