The custom of the Spring Festival

1, Davanasiniu

The Chinese New Year in Lijiang actually started from the twelfth lunar month. There is a more vivid saying in Naxi language: "Dawanashinu". It means that Naxi people have been crazy since the twelfth lunar month. Why do you say that? In fact, this madness is due to buying new year's goods, and Naxi people are as crazy as them.

Once upon a time, as soon as we entered the twelfth lunar month, the whole farmer's market in other places became lively. People are surging in the market like a flood, as if everything is free. Now the madness is much delayed than before, but after the twelfth lunar month, that kind of crazy scene will always appear.

2. Brush and pretend to support

As the Spring Festival approaches, there are almost five or six days before Ding Guang 24. Then I will go to the mountain and cut down an evergreen tree, ash tree. Then the whole family cleaned up, brushing cigarettes and cobwebs like ash trees. Its form mainly expresses, brush off bad things, brush off bad luck, clean up, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.

3. Spring Festival couplets

Naxi Spring Festival couplets used to be written in Dongba.

On New Year's Eve, just after lunch, men from every household began to clean the gate, scrape off the old couplets and put up new ones. Of course, women are cooking New Year's Eve dinner.

After the New Year's Eve, take a slow walk and enjoy the Spring Festival couplets newly posted by Old Town of Lijiang, which is very elegant.

Influenced by the cultural traditions of the Han nationality, Naxi people attach great importance to Spring Festival couplets. They must ask a calligrapher who they think is good to write a pair to show their happiness.

4. Shuimi

In Naxi people, no matter on holidays or cooking delicious food at home, they will splash water and rice at the gate along the corner. Water rice is mainly to remove a little bit of various dishes as a meaning, and then mix with tea, water, wine and other foods, and the solar terms are fragrant and splash along the wall. To show respect for ancestors and the performance of a family.

5. New Year's Eve dinner

Before the New Year's Eve, put several bowls of rice on the table, usually three bowls, or according to the number of relatives who have left, the rice should be full. Then the whole family kowtowed in that direction once to show their respect for their ancestors, the memory of the deceased and the significance of family reunion. For Naxi people's New Year's Eve, after getting up, the old people will warn the children not to play or touch iron utensils or bamboo on this day, because if they touch iron or bamboo, they will be full (playing with iron utensils) or empty (playing with bamboo). New Year's Eve dinner is too important for every Naxi people, so they can only eat it in their own homes, and married daughters can't go back to their parents' homes. New Year's Eve usually has pig's head meat and rooster (must be cut) meat. Naxi dialect is called "Bugu is excluded". It doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is the atmosphere of family reunion.

After the New Year's Eve, I began to wash my feet, which means "catch up on everything in the coming year". It seems that our ancestors didn't wash their feet every day before, so they should wash their feet on New Year's Eve.

After washing your feet, it's time to give lucky money to your children at home. Or put on the new clothes already prepared and go out to play to show the new atmosphere and celebrate.

On New Year's Day, that is, after New Year's Eve, from 00: 00 on New Year's Day, we will set off firecrackers in ditches, ponds or water sources to catch up with the latest water, new weather and health in the new year. Then get up early and open the door completely, which means that the new year's financial resources are rolling in. The first day represents a new beginning and what will happen in this year, so men, women and children don't do anything to be happy on the first day, which symbolizes the happiness, happiness and beauty of this year.

7. Sweep the grave

Naxi people pay great attention to etiquette and respect their ancestors. Grave-sweeping is generally written, and the local language means to visit the grave and pay a New Year call. Naxi people's New Year greetings are long and big, no matter far or near. But the first thing to worship is ancestors, customs and respect. So generally speaking, the attributes of the next day are incompatible (Naxi tigers don't go to the grave), so the attributes of the first day are compatible in advance the next day. Naxi people have the custom of sweeping graves during the Spring Festival. In fact, it is also like this. Naxi people can't find a sad atmosphere when they sweep graves. Generally, they go up the mountain in the first or second day.

9. Spring visitors

In fact, spring outing is a gift for Naxi people, because there are also New Year greetings among Naxi people, which means bringing some local products (rarely in modern times) to families older than relatives. There is no need to pay homage to the seniors, and then please return those seniors in the form of spring guests. Naxi people have the habit of treating guests during the Spring Festival, especially if there are newlyweds at home-including those who got married after the Spring Festival last year. If the family is big enough, the newlyweds will suffer, and they may have to catch many meals a day during the Spring Festival. You must also bring gifts such as rice and sugar. Invite more guests by the way. If the family is big enough, please invite a newly married couple, and there may be as many as three or five tables. In addition, the important targets of the invitation are ethnic minorities working in the field. Ask him if he might have to wait in line Your first day and my second day will go on until the day when people have to leave.
