What are the characteristics of the Spring Festival custom in Hebei?

At festivals and weddings, people make snuff with paper-cuts, hang colored paper, and cut out New Year's wishes (symbols) and stick grilles. Infinite paper-cutting is rich in modeling and life, and its style is influenced by Yangliuqing New Year pictures in Shanxi and Tianjin, gradually forming a unique paper-cutting art.

"Twenty-three honeydew melons are sticky, twenty-four house cleaning days, twenty-five grinding bean curd, twenty-six pork, twenty-seven chicken, twenty-eight noodles, twenty-nine streets, thirty nights, New Year's Eve, one night." This proverb, which has been circulating in Chengde for a long time, makes people's lives tense and orderly under age.

Chengde Spring Festival also pays attention to sticking "Spring Strip". A long spring strip runs from the beam to the edge of the kang, which reads, "It is appropriate to enter the spring music and sit at home. There are piles of gold and piles of gold ingots. People are prosperous, rich and prosperous, suitable for all ages. "

3. Zhangjiakou: the northernmost taste of the year. In Zhangjiakou, the twelfth lunar month is a year. First, families began to clean their houses and wash their bedding. Then, men and women quickly shaved their heads and had their hair cut. The next step is to make tofu, press vermicelli, fry dough twists in a dry pot, steam rice cakes and steamed buns. Many people have to buy food for half a month in the twelfth lunar month. On the first day of the first month, especially from the first day to the tenth day of the first month, every household can't eat "no rice", that is, bad rice. Every day, they have to eat the New Year's Eve dinner prepared in the twelfth month, which indicates that there will be good food every day in the coming year.

4, Handan: throwing hats during the Spring Festival. There is a strange custom in Handan to throw sad hats on New Year's Eve. Throwing sad hats is always done in the dead of night on New Year's Eve. Before going to bed, every family quietly threw their old hats or headscarves into the street. When cleaning the street the next day, sweep it into the corner and burn it when you are afraid of the spirit fire on the fifteenth night of next month.
