Old yearbook terminology: What does separation mean? What is the meaning of separation?

Editor: Generally speaking, when children and grandchildren grow up, they will naturally separate their families and live alone again to avoid many contradictions. Moreover, separation is still very important in people's eyes, and it is necessary to carefully read the old almanac before deciding. But there is no separation in the terminology of the old almanac, only the branch office. So what does the word separation mean in the old calendar? Let's look at the meaning of separation.

What does separation mean?

Separation: refers to the separation of the extended family and the intention to start a new stove.

Separation refers to dividing a family into several families. A complete family disintegrated, and several new families were established and born. Separation is mainly the division of property. Property is mainly divided into fixed assets and funds, that is, parents' savings and parents' private property. As the saying goes: "When the tree is divided, the child is divided." It can be seen that "separation" was a common phenomenon for a long time before.

Separation is also called separation, separation and separation. Due to the influence of Chinese dialects, appellations vary from place to place. Separation is mainly a method adopted by parents to facilitate management or better handle the relationship between sisters-in-law. In the late Qing Dynasty, the custom of separation between brothers of She nationality was no different from that of local Han residents. At the time of separation, in addition to the property that belongs to the biological parents, parents-in-law or brother in law gave many gifts. There are cabinets, dining tables, stools, buckets, rice cookers, bowls, plates, chopsticks, spoons, wine glasses, scrapers and spoons used on stoves, etc. Bowls, chopsticks, spoons and wine glasses sent by parents-in-law or brother-in-law must be 65,438+00 pieces or 65,438+00 pairs, which is a good way to build a perfect and happy family. On the day of separation, parents-in-law or brother in law must cook a meal of rice and rice cakes, together with kitchen utensils and tableware, which is called the "hot stove" of the son-in-law's house.

Separation time

Parents are very picky about when they choose to separate their sons. They believe that "separation at the beginning of the year is good for brothers, and separation at the end of the year is good for brothers." Although this is not scientific enough, it shows that parents treat their sons equally. Therefore, although there is a saying of "thick moon" in June and July of the lunar calendar, most people still choose the middle of the year, that is, June of the lunar calendar. Because June is also the time to "divide oranges and cut pomelo", the development is the same after the division. Choosing the auspicious day of the ecliptic in June has placed parents' expectations on their son after separation: both major events and minor feelings should be cultivated.

However, in the era of "many children are blessed", many families have more than one boy. If you want to choose an auspicious day in June, there will inevitably be some "coincidences". In many places, it is convenient to choose the best separation time on June 15 of the lunar calendar, and then on the middle day of this month, which means that brothers are both good and good; In some places, it was chosen as the first day of June, which meant a good start after separation. What's more, there is a saying in southern Fujian: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, you don't have to turn over the books." In other words, no matter what you do, you can choose a day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. This is also the reason for choosing June 1 day or June 15 to separate. Of course, some people choose other months, such as May or August.

Separate host

The separation ceremony is generally presided over by the mother-in-law. The so-called "mother-in-law is like a family when she sees her nephew." If the host cannot be played by my mother's uncle under special circumstances, then we should choose another person from "home" (mother's maiden) to replace him. The identity of the host shows that the folk customs in southern Fujian have the legacy of the matriarchal blood concept in the past. Separation needs a "middleman", that is, a notary, who is generally represented by a prestigious "boss" (elder) in the separation family. At the same time, please ask your uncle to be a supervisor to prevent parents from favoring or brothers from seizing power.

Principle of separation of brothers

1. When dividing family property, it is necessary to clearly distinguish the common property of the family from the personal property of family members.

2. The division of property can only divide the common property of the family, and the personal property belonging to family members does not belong to the division category.

When dividing the property, we should divide the common property of the family according to the principle of fairness and reasonableness.

4, in the division of property, the division of family property, especially some production, labor tools, equipment and other property, to be as conducive to production as possible, is conducive to the development of family members' respective specialties. For some specific properties that are inconvenient to divide, they can also be modified through special agreements to give full play to the effectiveness of the item. The division of property is directly related to the future living arrangements of family members. Therefore, it should be carried out in the form of separation agreement, so that disputes will not arise because of the unclear ownership of a property right after separation.
