What is the custom or folk custom of New Year in Shengzhou?

On the fourteenth night of the first month, this eyesight-improving soup for dinner is very popular among the people in our city. When did this custom begin? It's hard to find out why you want to drink Mingmu soup. Mingmu soup, as its name implies, can make your eyes shine after drinking this soup. According to the author's textual research and analysis, the significance of drinking Mingmu Decoction for fourteen nights is to warn people that the Spring Festival has passed, and they should wake up from joy and cheer up to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery. Secondly, I drank Mingyan soup and watched lanterns for fifteen nights with discerning eyes.

In fact, Mingmu soup is a bowl of vegetable soup. Cut sesame paste into strips the size of a little finger, then combine the washed vegetables into one, put them in a pot and cook them, add a proper amount of salt and soy sauce, and then dip them in a pinch of cooked lard to become a traditional folk eyesight-improving soup. Now in the Spring Festival, we eat braised pork, boiled chicken, rotten chicken and frozen tofu from the evening of the 30th to the 14th of the first month. My mouth was full of oil and I drank 14 night's bright soup. Of course, it feels particularly fresh.

As for why you want to drink bright eye soup, there is no place to research. According to the Records of the Sage County in the Republic of China, "Fourteen nights, lanterns are hung in the temples of various societies, and women travel in groups, which is called fourteen tours. Cooking hemp with vegetables is called Mingmu soup. " In ancient times, the fourteenth night was lantern night. Every street, every temple and shop is covered with lanterns, forming a lantern market. On 15, the people welcomed the lantern festival, and the scene was even more spectacular. Housewives are busy making dumplings, freezing, killing chickens and geese, frying sweet potato chips and receiving guests during the Spring Festival. It can be said that they are very busy. It was not until the fourteenth night that they relaxed and cooked a bowl of simple soup. In their spare time, they will invite their neighbors' housewives to go to the streets to watch lanterns and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lantern market.

In the countryside, it is another scene. /kloc-On the evening of 0/4, every farmer who planted fruit trees drank Mingmu soup. The owner came to the orchard with an axe in his hand, held high and cut down trees, and said to the fruit tree, "Are you alive?"? If there is no fruit, cut it with one knife! " As he spoke, he scolded himself in the vast night sky: "The cat's eyes are sharp, and the mouse's eyes are blind when they touch the wall." This scene is really ridiculous. This custom has disappeared in today's countryside, but the custom of drinking Mingmu soup is still popular among the people in our city.
