How did you get green in the New Year?

Deng Zhongxiang arranged the article "Green in the New Year"

From New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve, from the first day to the fifteenth day, it is the most lively day for China people to celebrate the New Year, and the activities to celebrate the New Year in the north and south are also more colorful and interesting. Guangdong people have their own set of exquisite, especially Hong Kong compatriots, which has always been a "green picking" ceremony.

I have heard of "picking green" before, and I don't know what it means. Introduced by friends in Hong Kong, it turned out to be a Chinese New Year folk custom handed down from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in southern Guangdong. Generally, local martial arts schools and Lion Dragon Clubs organize teams to send good luck and ask for red envelopes to nearby shops, restaurants and large families from door to door. The so-called "picking vegetables" means that the lion dancers of the lion dance team pick a handful of vegetables hanging on the roof and spray them on the surrounding ground early in the morning, which means that the new year will be prosperous and rich, and it also means exorcism and peace.

The collocation of that dish is very exquisite, including lettuce, which means "making money in four seasons", green onion, celery, carrot with leaves and a red envelope, which is a gift for the lion dance team. I heard that when the green picking ceremony reached its climax, firecrackers exploded around and the people in the neighborhood clapped their hands and cheered. Now that the government is not allowed to set off firecrackers, fewer people catch up with the old tradition, and the scene is naturally not as good as before.

However, the custom of picking vegetables in Hong Kong continues to this day, especially the movement from shaking one's head and wagging one's tail to laughing and then getting up to pick vegetables. Only with the close cooperation of two lion dancers can it be smooth, natural and vivid. Isn't this beautiful?

The owner of the shop who accepted the "green picking" asked how many red envelopes should be given to the lion dance team. He said: "If the family is flat, it will be distributed all the way." Don't need a lot of money now. 168 yuan. )

How much did you send before? It is said that it is "prosperous all the way" (1688 yuan), and even a big boss gave it "business all the way" (32 168 yuan). The figures given now are different from those of the times and are also caused by the economic situation. Under the current economic situation in Hong Kong, the expenses for the Chinese New Year are generally much more important, so it is prudent to say a few auspicious words when meeting.

For example, this year, I don't say much about "financial resources rolling" because I am afraid that the company will hear "layoffs rolling" and that he will immediately pack up and leave; I don't like "everything comes true" either I am worried that I will only get "40% salary" in the coming year. How can I make a living?
