Can I have a New Year's Eve dinner on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month?

1. Generally speaking, we don't eat New Year's Eve on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, but there are some special circumstances. In those days, families holding funerals will celebrate the New Year a few days in advance, that is, have dinner on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. The girl's son-in-law will not only attend, but also buy a coffin room for the coffin two days in advance and cover it in the middle of the coffin. If there are no girls, other younger generations will buy a ghost house.

In fact, since ancient times, this day has been a market day. People in the villages around the market have gone to the market to buy new year's goods. Smoke, wine, fish, meat and firecrackers are as indispensable as gifts for visiting relatives and friends, and the taste of the year is gradually increasing. The stewed meat on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month is also called the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Killing pigs and cutting annual meat is one of the customs of the Spring Festival. On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, there is a saying that "on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, wash the inside and wash the outside" and "on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, clean the barn". On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, there is also a folk saying that meat is cut on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. In other words, from this day on, we will start to buy new year's goods for the Spring Festival.

Eating New Year's Eve is the best time and a tradition since ancient times. The last day of the end of the year is called "year's minute", which means that the old year is divided and replaced by the new year. On the most important day at the end of this year, no matter how far away the wanderer is, he must rush home to reunite with his family, bid farewell to the old year with firecrackers and welcome the new year with fireworks all over the sky. On New Year's Eve, there have been many customs since ancient times, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors, celebrating the 30th anniversary, having a reunion dinner, posting New Year greetings and hanging lanterns, which have been passed down to this day and lasted for a long time. Keeping the new year's eve is one of the activities of the old customs, and the custom of keeping the old age has a long history.
