The 2022 customary topic adopts the form of a short video, and everyone can pay attention to the video number of the same name of the student.
Today is January 26th, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the small year in the south, and it is also the day of sweeping dust in the new year.
In the first two annual videos, Shusheng told everyone the reasons for the different days in the north and south of the small year, but did not tell everyone why the south is the twenty-fourth festival of the Waxing Moon.
The reason is simple, because yesterday was only the twenty-third day of the Waxing Moon, and the twenty-fourth day of the Waxing Moon is inseparable from the annual customs of this day.
According to folklore, among the gods sent by the Jade Emperor to the Nether was a three-corpse god.
His duty was to fully grasp the situation in the world and report to the Jade Emperor at the end of the year.
This duty is similar to the duty of Vesta, who also controls the situation on earth.
If there had been no subsequent events, the responsibility of the Stove Prince to grasp the situation in the human world would have been completely replaced by the Three Corpses God, and his old man was only responsible for the kitchen.
The Three Corpses God could have ascended to the throne, but he made a big mistake.
The Three Corpses God is not of high status, and he is bent on climbing upwards, so he flatters everywhere to gain the trust and attention of the Jade Emperor, and often manipulates right and wrong to reflect his due diligence.
Once, the Three Corpses God grinned and said that someone in the human world cursed the Jade Emperor.
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was convinced, and sent a decree to let the Three Corpses God find out the things that were committed in the human world, and put the names and crime books of the perpetrators on the wall, and let the spider webs cover up to make marks, so that Chinese New Year's Eve night to reduce the guilt, so that Wang Lingguan, who was tied with Sun Wukong, would encounter a house with a mark, and cut off the door, leaving no one behind.
The Three Corpse Gods were very happy when they learned of this, and took the opportunity to make marks on the walls of each household so that Wang Lingguan could kill them all.
Mortals immersed in the festive atmosphere of the busy year are unaware of the disasters they are about to face.
When the discerning Emperor Learned of this news, he was horrified, and in order to save innocent mortals, he asked each family to sweep away the dust on the twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon, dust off the cobwebs, and clean the doors and windows, so that Wang Lingguan had nowhere to go.
Wang Lingguan Chinese New Year's Eve night netherworld, saw a peaceful world, did not find a spider web, and returned to the heavenly court to report the matter to the Jade Emperor.
At this time, the Jade Emperor found that he had been deceived by the Three Corpses God, and then he sent down a decree to detain the Three Corpses God, palm his mouth for three hundred, and forever detain the Heavenly Prison.
After that, I only believed the report of the stove king.
This matter was known to the people of the mortal world, and they were very grateful to the stove king, so they swept the dust during the day on the twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon, sent the stove at night, sent the stove king back to the heavenly court, and then "picked up the stove" on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the year.
In this way, two annual customs appeared in the human world, the twenty-fourth day of the waxing moon to sweep the dust and sacrifice the stove.
Shusheng proposed in the previous article that whether the twenty-third day of the waxing moon or the twenty-fourth of the waxing moon cannot change the time when the king of the stove returns to the heavenly court on the night of the twenty-fourth night of the waxing moon, and the reason is this myth and legend.
The Stove King would wait until the people had swept the spider webs before he would return to the Heavenly Court to report on his work with confidence, and once anyone did not sweep it, he would remind him.
After the Three Corpses God was imprisoned forever, there was no need for the Stove King to wait until the night of the twenty-fourth day of the Waxing Moon to leave, and he could leave during the day, but people already had the form of sacrificing the stove and sending the stove, and the Stove King cared for the people, and accepted the respect of the people, and waited until the people sacrificed the stove before leaving.
Last year, Shusheng told everyone that the customs of the year are all one link and one link, and today's myth once again confirms this.
Whether it is the mythological part of the new year or the reality part, it is interlocked.
Some friends will ask, is this not a deception, it is true that there is a suspicion, but he has no other way, he can't watch mortals being killed, nor can he fake Wang Lingguan by personal friendship, because the Jade Emperor will inspect the human world on the twenty-fifth day of the month, and if the Stove Emperor and Wang Lingguan cheat, the Jade Emperor will not only not let them go, but also degrade the human world.
Twenty-four sweeping dust can not only break the trick of the three corpse gods, but also make the twenty-five Jade Emperors who patrol the human world not see the flaws, and the stove king is a good means.
The customs of the year are slippery: twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; twenty-four, sweeping the house; twenty-five, making tofu; twenty-six, to cut meat; twenty-seven, slaughtering chicken; twenty-eight, putting the noodles hair; twenty-nine, steaming steamed steamed buns.
The things that slip through the mouth are the realistic part of the annual customs, and everyone will find that they are one link and one link.
In ancient times, there was no refrigerator washing machine, if the twenty-four did not sweep the dust, the next few days the home was all food, and a few strings of firecrackers could shake the dust on the ground, and the food was dirty.
There is also laundry and other things, twenty-four do not wash, the next few days if the weather is not good, can not dry, years later there is no replacement clothes to wear.
Therefore, twenty-four must be swept away.
Even if there are washing machines and refrigerators now, twenty-four dust sweeping is also a good time, and the next few days will become more and more busy, where there is time to sweep the dust again.
Myth is indeed not true, but it can deter people and make people do it according to the reality part of science.
The custom of the year is the yearning for beauty, which has nothing to do with superstition.
