Northeast traditional Spring Festival custom Spring Festival stickers are piecemeal.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, families all over the country usually put up the word "Fu" and Spring Festival couplets at home, which can not only play a decorative role, but also bring good luck to the new year. In some areas of Northeast China, there are still "odds and ends" on Spring Festival couplets, so what are "odds and ends"? Let Lao Huangli introduce you to the traditional customs in Northeast China: Spring Festival is a little bit.

The so-called "fragmentary" is relative to couplets and couplets. In some areas of Northeast China, every household should put red couplets and couplets on the doors and window frames during the Spring Festival, which is one of the essential contents of the festival. When writing couplets and couplets, you should write some scribbled words and stick them in an inconspicuous corner of your home. This is "fragmentary".

In the past, when writing couplets in the countryside during the Spring Festival, people were usually looking for "cultural people" who had drunk ink in the village. The "cultural man" spread the paper on the table, made tea, rolled up his sleeves, turned a yellowed "peasant calendar" back and forth, selected a pair, and then copied it with a brush.

There is no need to be so emotional when writing "bits and pieces" Anyone in the village who has a good understanding of literature and ink, even a child who has just carried a schoolbag, can pick up a pen, because the words written bit by bit have already been stored in the minds of rural people and do not need to be conceived at all.

As a result, pieces of "bits and pieces" long or short, wide or narrow, like firecrackers falling from the sky, curled up and flew all over the corner of the farmhouse: "bits and pieces" stuck on the stove are "fresh vegetables of the four seasons"; The "dribs and drabs" posted in the yard are "spring scenery in the yard"; The "bits and pieces" of chicken paste in duck house are "chickens and ducks in groups"; The "fragmentary" sticker on the sheepfold and cowshed is "Six Livestock Flourish"; The "bits and pieces" posted on the animal trough head are "the trough head is flourishing"

The "dribs and drabs" posted on the well platform are "clear spring and long flow"; The "odds and ends" posted on the grain store are "bumper harvests"; The "odds and ends" posted next to the door statue are "open the door"; The "odds and ends" posted next to the door frame are "looking up to see happiness"; The "odds and ends" posted on the carriage are "safe entry and exit"; The "dribs and drabs" posted in the toilet are all "happy to go to the toilet", each with its own words, and so on.

Some of these "dribs and drabs" are well-intentioned reminders, some are pious hopes, some are beautiful hopes, and some are sincere wishes, reflecting the expectations and prayers of rural people for a smooth and happy life. "Bits and pieces" are the true feelings of the country people. Compared with exquisite couplets and upside-down scarlet letter "Fu", it is more informative and friendly. Therefore, in addition to posting couplets and New Year pictures, many families also post "sketches".

The "mobile phone" in "odds and ends" should be the "Spring Festival couplets" posted on the wall-banners announcing the arrival of spring. A "spring bar" is usually a long vertical bar. Although its length is consistent with the couplet, it is much narrower than the couplet. Usually, there are some words that rural people love to hear and want to say, such as "Happy Chinese New Year, the whole family is happy to blossom;" I earned 35 thousand last year and 88 thousand this year. " The whole story is unpretentious, but it reveals the pursuit and hope.

Of course, there are also individuals who use "spring strips" to tease and tease others. Once, an old man suspected that a younger generation was poor, which ruined the marriage between his daughter and the younger generation. Before the Spring Festival, the old man asked the young man to write "Spring Stripes", and the young man scattered all the fire in his heart on the "Spring Stripes": "There are no eggs left in the yard, and the yard is in chaos; The fat pigs are full of circles and have all been eaten, and the remaining one has to be sent to the temple to make a wish! " The old man was greatly humiliated and became a joke for a while.
