Shunde Spring Festival Folk Custom

Now, many families in Shunde still like to put pig hands in rice jars on New Year's Eve, which means "unexpected wealth" in the coming year. In the past, people in Shunde put two fried fish on rice jars, which were called "lucky money". This kind of "pressure" is read as "responsibility" here. By the way, I want to talk about Ruan Fu in Jin Dynasty. He is penniless, but he always carries a bag with a dollar in it. He said, but if he has money to look after the bag, he is afraid of shyness. The word "look" is equal to the word "pressure", which means protection, and fish naturally represents the "surplus grain" of "more than one year". In fact, this is also an ancient custom. According to Liu Anjing's "New Book of Time Mirror" in Song Dynasty, at the end of the year, every family has food, which is called the store for waiting for the year. It's called sending new year's goods and leaving rice until the twelfth lunar month, so it's abandoned in the street, which means abandoning the old and getting new, getting rid of poverty and getting rich. It seems that some seemingly ordinary customs in China are actually well preserved with many ancient relics.
