Customs and habits of Sanshui Spring Festival

The ninth day of the first month is heaven, commonly known as "born in heaven". It is said that this day is the birthday of the Jade Emperor. The main customs are offering sacrifices to the jade emperor and Taoist temple to heaven. In some places, when the weather is fine, women will prepare incense sticks and fast rice bowls and put them in the open air at the entrance of patio lane to worship heaven and pray for God's blessing.

2. Example of year

Chinese New Year is one of the ancient traditional ways to celebrate the New Year. Chronological culture has a long history and no basis in history. The so-called annual ceremony, that is, "tracing back to the source and making an example every year", refers to the large-scale group sacrifice activities held regularly every year (mainly during the New Year).

Step 3 fertilize

From the beginning of the first month to the fifth day, the toilet could not be cleaned, and the feces in the toilet also piled up. So on this day, I did a big cleaning and worshipped the toilet god to clean the dirty toilet on weekdays. So it is called "fat" (but now people use new bathroom equipment, so there is no such custom).

Step 4 send the poor

The sixth day of the first lunar month, also known as Horse Day, is a distinctive custom of the Han people to send the poor on this day. There are different ways to send the poor to all parts of China. But the moral is basically the same, they all send away the poor.

Step 5 open the market

During the old custom Spring Festival, large and small shops closed together from the beginning of the New Year, but opened on the fifth day of the first month. People are used to taking the fifth day of the first month as the holy day of the god of wealth, thinking that choosing this day to open the market will definitely make a fortune.
