Although there are differences in time

But the little year has arrived

This year is coming

Small years are given

The meaning of wishing for a happy and smooth year ahead of you

From this day on

The family is busy preparing the New Year goods

Have a good year in a good mood

Fiery red decorations dot the streets

The elders of the family are celebrating the New Year

The face is like a vermilion crane, and the beard looks like a green turtle.

To know the birthday of the Xiangfu, this is the time of the human sacrifice.

People began to clean and wash in various ways

Pull out the ominous, get rid of the old and welcome the new

Little Year: A prelude to the Spring Festival

Little Year: A prelude to the Spring Festival

Writers write about the little year

Lu Xun

On the day of the ascension of the stove king, there was a kind of sugar sold on the street, the size of a mandarin, and we also had this thing, but it was flat, like a thick little flapjack. That is the so-called "gum tooth". The original intention was to invite Zaojun to eat, sticking to his teeth, so that he could not adjust his mouth and learn his tongue, and said bad things to the Jade Emperor. The gods and ghosts we Chinese seem to be more honest than the living, so we must use such a tough method against the ghosts and gods, but the living people have no choice but to invite them to dinner.

Lao She

Twenty-three days to celebrate the New Year, almost the New Year's "rehearsal". In the old society, on this night, the family worshiped the king of the stove, and from the first time the black firecrackers sounded, with the sound of the cannon, the paper statue of the king of the stove was incinerated, and his name was sent to the king of the stove to heaven. In the past few days, there were many people selling maltose and rice candy on the street, and the sugar shape was either rectangular or large and small melon. According to the old saying: Stick the mouth of the stove king with sugar, and when he reaches heaven, he will not report bad things in the family to the Jade Emperor. Now, there are still sugar sellers, but they are only enjoyed by everyone, and they no longer stick to the mouth of the king of the stove.

After twenty-three, everyone will be busier, and the New Year will arrive in the blink of an eye. Before the Chinese New Year's Eve, every family must paste the Spring Festival, and must be cleaned up, and the name is called sweeping the house. Meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, rice cakes, and so on must be prepared enough, at least enough to eat for at least a week - according to the old custom, most shops close their doors for five days, and do not open until the sixth day of the first month. If you do not prepare for the next few days of food, it is not easy to replenish temporarily. Also, the old mother theory in the old society pays attention to the Chinese New Year's Eve cut out all the things that should be cut out, and it is not necessary to use the knife again from the first to the fifth day of the first month of the first month, and it is unlucky to use the knife and scissors. This implies superstition, but it also shows that people are peace-loving people who are reluctant to move even a kitchen knife at the age of one.

On the day of the twenty-third day, the family burned red bean sticky rice, first put a large bowl in front of the stove, and then the whole family came to eat. After eating, at dusk, my father put on a large gown and came to the stove to worship, and with that, we all knelt down. After the worship, the statue of the god of the stove was invited down from the stove mountain and put into a stove palanquin.

This stove car was bought from the city during the day, pasted with red and green paper, and a pair of couplets pasted on both sides, which read, "The heavens play good deeds, and the netherworld ensures peace." We took some holly cedar seeds, inserted them on both sides of the stove palanquin, and hung a string of gold yuan treasures made of paper on the palanquin; and took a little sugar cake and glued it to the mouth of the stove king bodhisattva. In this way, he went up to see the gods, and he was sticky and sticky, and he didn't speak clearly, so as not to tell them all the evil things of others.

So my father respectfully held the stove car and held it outside the gate to burn it. When burning, you must grab a paper treasure, take it in and hide it in the cupboard, and wish that there will be a real gold treasure next year. After sending The Stove Jun to heaven, Mother Chen cooked a dish to give her father a drink, saying that the wine dish must taste very good, because no Stove Jun first absorbed its aroma. My father also laughed and praised the delicious wine and dishes.

On the night of the twenty-third day of the Waxing Moon, it is the day of the sacrifice of the god of Vesta, and folklore says that on this night, the god of Vesta will return to heaven to report on the food and clothing of the world, and every family will make a kind of five-spiced small round cake, bring the god vesta a long road to heaven as dry food, and persuade him to "say good things in heaven, and descend into the earth to be auspicious." That night, the first pot of five-spiced round cakes was first offered to the statue of the god of Vesta, and I was already hungry enough to control it, so I grabbed the remaining round cakes and bit them up, and ate the BunGu noodle bun all winter, this kind of pure white noodles burnt five-spice round cakes are so fragrant.

After half a month of staying up for another half a month, it was the day of resignation. We also call the birthday a small year, and we live more seriously. Breakfast and lunch are still rough food on weekdays, and dinner is a meal of dumplings. In order to wait for this dumpling, I ate very little breakfast and lunch. At that time, my meal was so large that I couldn't say how many dumplings I could eat. There is a ritual for the stove, that is, when the dumplings come out of the pot, first put two bowls on the stove top, and then burn half a knife of yellow table paper, and burn the stove horse together. After burning, drizzle the dumpling soup on the paper ash, and then prostrate your head, even if the sacrifice stove is completed. This is the simplest. The richer families should buy some Kanto sugar for the stove, which is probably meant to let the stove prince who is about to report to heaven taste some sweetness and say more good things before God. Some people also say that kanto sugar is used to stick to the mouth of the stove king. This kind of statement is not reasonable, you stick to his mouth, bad words can not be said, but good words can not be said!
