Make rice cakes, fried meatballs, "sun cakes", "sacred insects" and other pasta. On the 28th and 9th of the twelfth lunar month, "Spring Festival couplets" and New Year pictures were posted. On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, an altar was set up, a genealogy was hung, a shed was set up in the courtyard, jiaozi was covered, and "grain was grown". In the courtyard, wooden stakes were put and grain and grass were scattered (meaning to tie horses and feed them to ancestors who came home for the New Year). There is a family dinner at noon, and dinner is rice and jiaozi. Stay up late at night (don't sleep) In the early morning of the first day, put on new clothes, put out offerings, light candles, burn incense and paper, set off firecrackers, "greet the gods" (outside the yamen, burn incense and paper in a certain direction, greet the gods to enter the door), and then go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to our ancestors and pay a New Year call to our own people and neighbors. Jiaozi (30 packs of twelfth lunar month) is eaten for breakfast on the first day of the first lunar month every other year. Some jiaozi have money (coins), dates, fish, tofu, peanuts, sweets and so on. People who eat them symbolize good luck and good luck in the new year.

Penglai Folk Custom-Peasant Custom

Farmers in Penglai City are famous for their diligence in farming and diligence in managing their families. In the old society, farmers' families were generally men engaged in field work and women did housework. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), women were liberated from housework and worked in agriculture, business and business like men.

Farmers generally follow the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. During the busy farming season, women or children will send breakfast and lunch to the fields. Generally, you don't take a break before breakfast. When you work in the field, you take a break once in the morning and twice in the afternoon, which means "eat two meals at a time, not to mention three dinners."

Corn harvested after autumn is mostly hung under the eaves or dried on branches, and sweet potatoes are mostly stored in dry wells. Dry well is commonly known as "sweet potato well", that is, dig a shaft more than ten feet deep in a dry place, dig 2-3 horizontal holes at the bottom of the well, and store sweet potatoes in the horizontal holes. Most Chinese cabbages and radishes are dug and buried for storage.

In the old days, after sowing in the autumn harvest, farmers usually chopped bean stalks, peanut stalks and sweet potato vines with a straw cutter and piled them in the yard or idle room, commonly known as "fields". The whole family eats noodles, which is called "the scene of eating rice", marking the end of a year's hard work and entering the slack season.

In the past, farmers still prayed for the prosperity of people and animals and the bumper harvest of crops. Before sunset on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, sorghum stalks and grain stalks were put on their own dunghill, and "paper stalks" were hung on the top, which was called "growing grain" (planting crops). Before sunrise on the first day of the first month of the first month, sorghum stalks and grain stalks are burned on the spot, which is called "killing grain" (harvesting crops), symbolizing a bumper harvest throughout the year. From the first day of the first month to the tenth day of the first month, every day symbolizes one thing: a chicken, two dogs, three cats, four rabbits, five pigs, six sheep, seven people, eight grains, nine rus (meaning "nine rus for nature protection" and "prolonging life") and one hundred percent (meaning "one hundred percent harvest"). It's sunny and cloudy every day to predict whether people and animals are prosperous and whether crops are bumper. The 21st day of the first month is wheat's birthday, so we have noodles at noon. This is a sunny day, symbolizing the bumper harvest of wheat in the coming year. As the saying goes, "Wheat will grow harmoniously, depending on the 21st day of the first month". On this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, farmers have the custom of feeding sorghum rice to their animals. As the saying goes, "Beat 1000 and scold 10000, but don't forget the sorghum rice in Tomb-Sweeping Day".
