What are the customs of 20 years old in winter?

There are six solar terms in winter, namely, beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, slight cold and severe cold.

At the age of 20 in winter, there are some customs, such as studying in winter, learning from teachers, having fun activities of herding cattle and sheep, eating bacon, eating Ciba, drying dried fish, drinking soup, making laba porridge, pickling new year's vegetables and following abundant food.

According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical sage", was the magistrate of Changsha. On the solstice of this winter, he saw that the people in Nanyang were hungry and cold, and their ears were frostbitten.

At that time, typhoid fever was prevalent and many people died. So Zhang Zhongjing summed up the clinical practice of the Han Dynasty for more than 300 years, set up a medical shed in the local area, set up a cauldron, cooked mutton, peppers and medicinal materials, removed the cold and heat, and made them into ears with flour bags. After cooking, they even give soup and food to the poor.

People eat from the solstice of winter to New Year's Eve, fighting typhoid fever and curing frozen ears.

Since then, villagers and future generations have imitated it and called it "jiaozi Ear" or "jiaozi", and some places called it "flat food" or "instant noodle jiaozi". The custom of eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter has been handed down.

In fact, the custom in beginning of winter is not just to eat jiaozi. Cui Mang, a university student in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote in the "Moon Order for Four": "On the day of the winter solstice, wine and food are set up, such as paying tribute to the monarch and the elderly on sunny days." On this day in the Song Dynasty, people put on new clothes and celebrated exchanges, just like New Year's Day.

Some activities to celebrate or worship winter are gradually fixed, stylized and more universal. For example, in winter schools, teacher-worshipping activities are held in winter.

Winter night is the longest and it is also the slack season, so it is the best time to hold a "winter school" in this season.

The informal education of ancient winter school has various properties: for example, "literacy classes" recruit adult men and women for the purpose of literacy; The "training class" recruits people with certain expertise, conducts professional knowledge training and cultivates talents; "Ordinary classes" are mainly to improve culture and popularize scientific and technological knowledge.

The school site of winter school is mostly located in temples or public houses. Teachers mainly employ people from their own village or other villages to undertake it, and give them appropriate remuneration.

In winter, many villages hold teacher worship activities, which is the season for students to visit their teachers. After winter, the principals of urban and rural schools take their parents and students, put four dishes, a pot of wine and a wine glass on the top plate, and take fruits and snacks to the school to express their condolences to the teachers, which is called "learning from teachers".

Some teachers' families hold banquets for students who come to visit their teachers at the beginning of winter or winter solstice, as if it were an important thing. Hang a statue of Confucius in the court and write "Great Confucius, the most sacred teacher".

The students bowed before the statue of Confucius and said, "Confucius, Confucius, Confucius is great!" " Confucius did not have Confucius before, and Confucius will be like Confucius in the future! "Then the students say hello to the teacher. After the ceremony, the students did housework at the teacher's house.

In the long winter, there is little tender grass, and feeding animals mainly depends on hay. In order to improve the feed of livestock, there are activities to let cattle eat grass in late autumn and early winter before the severe winter.

In the Guanzhong area of ancient Shaanxi, there were many cows and babies in the wheat fields in winter. Cowboys also have fun herding cowboys. When the cows are eating grass, they stick together and carry out various interesting activities in the fields.

One is sitting around fields and roadsides, such as "losing one's way", "holding the top and staring blankly" and "wolfing down". These three kinds of games are all folk Weiqi forms, which are very simple to play. Draw a chessboard on the ground with stones, and pick up some stones as chess pieces, which can be played anytime and anywhere.

Another game is "beating". Wan is a toy made of wood, cut into two points from the middle.

When playing, first dig a small hole in the ground, support it with "Mubiezi", that is, sawdust cut from wood, and then beat one end of Mubiezi with a crowbar. When you hit it, hit it far with the club. Play far to win, play close to lose. The loser shouted from the place where he fell to the starting point of the beating in one breath.

Another kind of outdoor entertainment is telling stories, singing folk songs, singing wild bullets and so on. In the wild, I often hear the melodious song of the Cowherd: "The sun shines all over the sky, and the Cowherd is happy ..."

Beginning of winter solar terms mean autumn harvest and winter storage. China used to be a farming society. People who have worked for a year should take advantage of beginning of winter to have a rest and reward their families for their hard work over the past year. There is a proverb that "beginning of winter fills the winter and the mouth" is the best metaphor.

Southerners like chicken, duck and fish in early winter. On this day in beginning of winter, Taiwan Province Province, China, people hold weddings, and there are winter tonic restaurants on the street, such as "Mutton Stove" and "Ginger Duck". Many families will also stew sesame oil chicken and siwu chicken to supplement energy.

People in northern China, especially those in Beijing and Tianjin, like to eat jiaozi. Why does beginning of winter eat jiaozi?

Because intercourse comes from the saying of "sexual intercourse time". New Year's Eve is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and beginning of winter is the turn of autumn and winter. When jiaozi is in love, he can't help eating.

The folklore of Xiaoxue solar terms includes bacon, eating Ciba, drying dried fish and drinking soup.

After a light snow, the temperature plummeted and the weather became dry, which was a good time to process bacon. After the light snow festival, some farmers began to make sausages and bacon and enjoy food during the Spring Festival.

Some places in the south also have the custom of eating Ciba in October of the lunar calendar. In ancient times, Ciba was a traditional festival sacrifice in the south of China, which was originally used by farmers to worship the cow god. There is a saying that "in October, Ciba Shao" refers to sacrificial events.

During the light snow solar term, fishermen in the south-central coastal areas of Taiwan Province Province will start drying dried fish and storing dry food. The mullet group will come to the Taiwan Province Strait around the light snow, including swordfish and sharks.

A proverb in Taiwan Province Province says that "beans are fat in October", which means that "bean fish" can be caught in October of the lunar calendar in the cloth bag area of Chiayi County.

Before and after the light snow, Tujia people started the annual folk activity of "killing pigs to welcome the new year", which added a warm atmosphere to the cold winter.

Eating soup is the custom of Tujia nationality. In the folk activity of "killing pigs to welcome the new year", the delicious food cooked with steaming first-class fresh pork is called "soup making".

In the snow season, there is a saying among the people in northern Shandong that "the road is full of doors, and people only drink red sticky porridge", which means that they will no longer visit their homes in cold weather and only drink warm sweet potato porridge at home.

There is a saying in old Nanjing that "light snow pickled vegetables, heavy snow pickled meat". Every household is busy pickling "salty goods" as soon as the solar term of heavy snow arrives.

Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. To salt, stir-fry in the pot, and after the fried pepper and salt are completely cooled, apply them to fish, meat and poultry and rub them repeatedly.

When the color of the meat changes from fresh to dark, and there is liquid oozing from the surface, put the meat and the remaining salt into a jar, flatten them with stones, put them in a cool and backlit place, take them out after half a month, put the marinade into a pot and add water to boil, skim off the floating foam, take them out after 10, and hang them under the eaves of Chaoyang to dry them to welcome the New Year.

The winter solstice is a very important solar term in China. As the saying goes, "the solstice in winter is as big as a year." In ancient times, the winter solstice was very important, and people always regarded it as another New Year.

On the solstice of winter, the monarch does not ask about state affairs, but listens to music for five days. The imperial court will have a holiday and rest, the army will be on standby, the frontier fortress will be closed, business trips will be closed, relatives and friends will send meals to each other, visit each other and have a happy "quiet" festival.

In ancient times, the worship of heaven from the winter solstice was an activity that all previous dynasties attached great importance to. According to Lu, when winter comes, the emperor will go to the southern suburbs of the imperial city to worship heaven, and the emperor must fast before worshipping heaven.

In addition, the court meeting on the day of winter solstice is also very lively, and all officials and foreign envoys will come to attend this grand court meeting. At that time, civil and military officials were arranged neatly in the hall, which was commonly known as the "winter instrument" in the Song Dynasty.

The emperor visited the front hall and accepted the congratulations. The ceremony is the same as that on New Year's Day. This is exactly what Han Shu said: "The sun shines on the winter solstice, and the monarch is long. Congratulations."

The ancients believed that from winter to the future, the days became longer and the yang rose, which was an auspicious day, so it was worth celebrating. There are records of "celebrating winter" in historical books such as the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Book of Jin. Especially in the Tang and Song Dynasties, this custom was particularly popular.

According to "Tokyo Dream Record", "this festival is the most important festival in the capital from winter to November. Although it is for the poor, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare meals and enjoy the ancestors in a year. "

On this day in early winter, cars and horses are noisy, the streets are crowded and pedestrians are in an endless stream. Although it was abolished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people still have the custom of winter solstice from the Qing Dynasty until modern times.

Beginning of winter is a big festival in October during the Han and Wei Dynasties. On this day, Emperor Tiandi will personally lead the ministers to meet the winter weather, commend and support the martyrs who died for their country and their families, ask the deceased to bless their lives, and encourage the people to resist foreign plunder and invasion.

Among the people, there are customs such as ancestor worship, feasting and divination of the elderly. In order to fulfill our obligations and responsibilities to future generations, we pray that God will give us a bumper harvest year in the coming year, and farmers themselves will be rewarded with drinking water and rest.

In ancient times, Nanjing people attached great importance to slight cold, but with the changes of the times, it has gradually faded, and now people can only find some traces in their lives.

In the slight cold, old Nanjing usually cooks meals with different contents. Boil short-legged yellow vegetables with sliced bacon, sausage or salted duck, and then chop some ginger with glutinous rice. It is very fragrant and delicious.

Among them, dwarf yellow, sausage and dried salted duck are all famous specialties in Nanjing, which can be described as "Nanjing vegetable rice" and even comparable to Laba porridge.

In the slight cold season, it is also the busiest time for old Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese pharmacy. Generally, I have eaten almost all the paste cooked in winter. At this time, some people will cook a little more and eat it before and after the Spring Festival.

Residents' daily diet is also dominated by warm foods, such as mutton and dog meat, among which mutton soup is the most common, and some restaurants also provide angelica and ginger mutton soup.

As the saying goes, "a slight cold is cold, and it turns into a hockey." Nanjing people have a set of physical exercise methods with regional characteristics in the slight cold season, such as skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, rolling iron rings, squeezing oil residue, fighting cocks and so on. If it snows, you will cheer, have a snowball fight and make a snowman. Soon your whole body will warm up and your blood will flow smoothly.

Traditionally in Guangzhou, Xiao Han eats glutinous rice in the morning. In order to avoid being too glutinous, it is generally 60% glutinous rice and 40% fragrant rice. Chop bacon and sausage, stir-fry peanuts, add some chopped onions and mix in rice.

The severe cold has reached around September of the lunar calendar, and the traditional eating custom of "one hundred and ninety-one chickens" is still respected by many families. Most people in Nanjing choose old hens, or stew them alone, or add ginseng, medlar, black fungus and so on. Drinking chicken soup in cold winter is really a pleasure.

In the twelfth lunar month, old Nanjing still likes to make soup. Soups and vegetables are everywhere, and the practices are different. For example, the soup in the north is often thick, and the soup in the south is often light and delicate. The soup in Nanjing, on the other hand, takes the flavor of north and south, which is not too strong or light, but fresh or sweet.

Another reason why Nanjing people like to drink soup in winter is that raw materials are easy to get, complex and simple, valuable and cheap. Minced meat, tofu, yam, fungus, sweet potato, mustard tuber, etc. Can be made into hot soup, add some coriander, add some white pepper, can be eaten warm.

In the cold season, people are busy throwing away old decorations, pickling New Year dishes and preparing new year's goods, because the Spring Festival, the most important festival for China people, is coming soon. Northerners also have a very important day, Laba, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On this day, people cook a pot of sweet and delicious Laba porridge with whole grains, peanuts, chestnuts, red dates and lotus seeds, which is an indispensable staple food for people in the New Year.

According to the custom of our country, especially in rural areas, people are busy removing old cloth, pickling new year's vegetables and preparing new year's goods every cold festival.

During the period from the Great Cold to beginning of spring, there were many important folk customs and festivals. For example, sumptuous food, kitchen sacrifices and New Year's Eve, and sometimes even the Spring Festival, the biggest festival in China, are all in this solar term.

The cold solar term is full of joy and festive atmosphere, and it is a cheerful and relaxed solar term. Tail teeth originated from the custom of worshipping the earth god as "teeth", which is called the first tooth on the second day of February. From then on, it was called "teeth" every second day and sixteenth day until the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar.

Weiya has spring cakes like February 2 nd. On this day, buyers and sellers will hold a banquet, and boiled chicken is an essential dish at the banquet. It is said that whoever the head of a chicken faces means who the boss will fire next year.

Times have changed, and now the way people greet winter has changed a lot compared with ancient times. But even if the years go by, what will never change is to stay with my family and pray for a better life in this special solar term.
