The Spring Festival Customs in Jining in Modern Times

Nowadays, the Spring Festival custom in Jining is more and more simplified. What should I send to Kitchen God, clean the house, and get all the food ready before the 15th day of the first month?

The countryside is better, and you can't feel the taste of the year in Jining city, except that there are a little more people than usual.

In rural areas, it's different to put up couplets on New Year's Eve, eat jiaozi and go to the grave for the whole family (women don't go). Some people go in the morning and some in the afternoon, with paper money, and let the elderly with elders at home cut them with firecrackers, cigarettes and wine (now it is basically the kind of paper money that imitates RMB). It means to invite the old man who died to go home for the New Year, that is, the first day of the New Year.

Fireworks are lit on New Year's Eve 12, and a bamboo pole or stick is placed at the gate. Its meaning is not clear. In some homes, green onions and bricks wrapped in red cloth are placed to symbolize the cleverness of children at home, and bricks seem to symbolize the golden brick. There is a custom of keeping old age on New Year's Eve. Children can't stand it and sleep. Adults play cards in groups of three and five, and ............... drinkers look at the coming year.

On the New Year's Day, firecrackers were set off in jiaozi and jiaozi, but they were all wrapped up at five or six. Then the family get together to pay a New Year call, and the younger generation kowtows to the elder, who will give you some cigarettes, candy and so on. On the altar. Hmm. How interesting

There are also firecrackers on the fifth day of the first month to eat jiaozi, which is called Breaking Five.

2008 is coming to an end here. Those who should go to work, those who should go to work, continue to rest.
