Is the fish used to pay New Year greetings raw or cooked?

The fish for the Spring Festival is cooked.

Xie Nian worships gods at the end of the year, which is also called farewell year. This is the most solemn moment of offering sacrifices to the gods in a year. We thank the God of heaven and earth for their protection throughout the year, and wish the old year and pray for the coming year. Xie Nian has to choose a date, so it is necessary to clean up the house and the outside. The whole family should wash their hair and bathe, and put on clean clothes inside and outside to show their piety. Only when the fish heads are inward and the fish swim in can there be more (fish) every year.

Light three sticks of incense, respectfully worship at the door for three times, then enter the house, insert the incense on the incense burner, light the red candle on the tin candlestick, and put your hands together to pray for good weather and good health for the whole family.

Xie Nian's process is tedious and lengthy, the incense head turns gray and falls off bit by bit, and time passes by in a way that can be seen by the naked eye.

"The Last Gift to God" can be said to be the highlight of Xie Nian's soup rice. Before fanning out the candle with your palm, you prayed solemnly again, and three firecrackers were set off in the yard to announce the end of Xie Nian. Compared with the solemnity and rigidity of Xie Nian's whole ceremony, the last part of "Safu" is much more relaxed and interesting.

Pinch the skin, tear the scales, twist a piece of fruit, break a cake, and put a chopstick in the dish. Even if it is as smooth as an egg, you should scrape it in the air. In short, you must take a little from each offering and put it in a glass. What a precious cup.

Even the smell in the air is so happy when you say a blessing.
