The original meaning of Dongguan Spring Festival custom "Golden Snake Dance" was adapted by Nie Er according to 1934 folk music "Knife Eight Boards", and he personally directed the recording. Music is accompanied by exciting gongs and drums, showing a warm and festive atmosphere. Nie Er named it Dance of the Golden Snake, which reflected his strong yearning for new China and revolutionary optimism. You mustn't imagine rummaging around the house when you are cleaning during the Spring Festival. In fact, for this most important festival, it's strange that the family wants Qi Xin to work together and is not busy. If you have enough time, it's fun to clean yourself up. Watching yourself clean and tidy home is especially rewarding, no matter how tired. Moreover, while cleaning, you can also sort out some old things. The so-called old things don't go, and new things don't come. Cleaning up some unused things and adding some new ones, sometimes just some small decorations, will make the whole home look brand-new. And these things, hourly workers can't do, they can only help you "clear" but can't help you "manage". In fact, a lot of housework is very easy. In the past, I couldn't get a part-time job for a month or two, and I almost did it myself. While getting satisfaction, I also exercised my body. Therefore, as for whether it is necessary to ask for part-time cleaning, my opinion is that it is not necessary to ask, but the problem always has two sides. At the end of the year, when you are very busy at work and have no time to clean at home, you will feel that cleaning is a burden. The cleaning before the Spring Festival was different from that in peacetime. You can do surface work at ordinary times. After the Spring Festival, it is the custom of China people not to bring old and dirty things into the New Year. Therefore, the edges and corners that can't be taken care of when cleaning at ordinary times should be turned out and thoroughly cleaned, and it is really necessary to ask the hourly worker for help. That's not true! Otherwise, the hourly market before the festival is so hot! As the Spring Festival is approaching, we should bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. During this time, every household should clean up the house and paint it. The custom of cleaning before the Spring Festival is called "dust removal" or "house selection" in some folk places. It is said that it is to wash away the fine dust of a year and pray for a new year and a new atmosphere. Folklore has always been "three miles with different styles and five miles with different customs", which are inherited from each other and change with time, different from north to south and different from east to west. What about the custom of "dusting" in Dongguan? A few days ago, the reporter made a special trip to interview Mr. Zhang Tiewen, president of Dongguan Collectors Association. Before retiring, Mr. Zhang worked in Dongguan Cultural Bureau and studied Dongguan folk customs. The twelfth lunar month began to clean up. "In the old days, in Dongguan, generally from the 16th of the twelfth lunar month, you can clean up and prepare for the New Year." Zhang Tiewen told reporters that Ma Wei (Toothless) ate it on the 16th of the twelfth lunar month. Ma Wei refers to the sacrifices used to sacrifice to God, such as beef and mutton. After eating Ma Wei, large families will give long-term workers a holiday, so that everyone has time to clean up. It is reported that Dongguan people generally began to clean up smallpox years ago, and then the walls. Cleaning tools are generally big brooms made of bamboo branches and leaves, mainly to clean dust, cobwebs and other dirt accumulated on roofs, eaves and walls. We also have to clean furniture, clothes and quilts, and clean the courtyard. Generally, I have to be busy until the second year, that is, the 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month. "On the 23 rd of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen will be sacrificed." Zhang Tiewen said that cooking stoves are actually cleaning. According to folk tradition, civil servants generally offer sacrifices to stoves on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, soldiers and civilians offer sacrifices to stoves on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and family members are buried on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Sacrificial stoves must be made by men. The sacrificial stove is the image of the kitchen god, attached to the top of the stove mouth. The man should paint maltose on the mouth of the kitchen god, make a ladder with hemp bones and worship with sugar cane, so that the kitchen god can "speak well in the sky and keep peace underground." Zhang Tiewen said that the reason for offering sacrifices to the stove is also for hygiene, because a new statue of the kitchen god should be placed after offering sacrifices to the stove. The statue of Kitchen God can be bought in the street and carved on paper with wood. It is said that some people are afraid that the kitchen god will steal his wife when he leaves, and they will make up a portrait of the kitchen god's wife next to him when they change the portrait of the kitchen god. And some odds and ends that are difficult to wash are generally washed on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Zhang Tiewen said that there is a saying in Dongguan called "28 years old, sloppy". In Dongguan dialect, rotten tower refers to small bits and pieces, which are generally not cleaned often and are very dirty. When women wash their hair and men shave their heads to clean the house, it is time for personal hygiene. According to reports, after the twelfth lunar month, women can wash their hair. "Women are very troublesome and very particular about washing their hair." Zhang Tiewen said that in his memory, women usually wash their hair after cleaning the house, otherwise cleaning the house will make their hair dirty. It is said that because there was no shampoo before, women usually use tea powder to wash their hair. Tea maker is the residue left over from making tea oil, which is toxic and can kill pond lice, like bean curd residue, and the washing effect is very good. Unmarried girls will comb into two horns after washing their hair, while married women will weave a bun in the shape of a bow, a fly, a dragon and a snail, which is more complicated to weave. Compared with women, men are much simpler. Zhang Tiewen told reporters that men must shave their heads before the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, because they can't shave their heads in the first month, otherwise they will die. There are allusions to Zhang Tiewen's statement that uncle died. It is reported that the Qing government asked the Han people to shave their heads. In order to resist the Manchu rule, Han people invented the saying that uncle died in the first month. In the tradition of China people, uncle is a symbol of justice. Generally, family separation is presided over by my uncle. Zhang Tiewen said that adults usually take a bath at the age of 28, and children take a bath first and then sell laziness. Selling laziness is to let the children take a duck egg (commonly used in Guangzhou), insert incense, and run outside the village for three laps. Children should also sing the song of selling laziness: "Sell lazy children, sell lazy children, and sell them to Aunt Wang in Guangxi. I am lazy today, and I will get up early for the New Year (tomorrow). " It is said that as long as children can sell this duck egg, it means they are lazy, but many children secretly eat the duck egg themselves and come back to tell adults that they have sold it. "New Year's Eve sells laziness. On this day, parents will wake up their children early in the morning, let them get up, take a shower and change clothes, and then sell lazy clothes. After washing this day, I will wear it to my brothers and sisters next year. " Zhang Tiewen said. According to Mr. Zhang Tiewen's memory, at the age of 28, he usually scraped the bottom of the pot. And things like shrines are usually cleaned by men after Weimar. "The toilet god is a special case. Toilets are generally swept on New Year's Eve. " Zhang Tiewen told reporters that the toilet god worshipped by the people is Zigu. Generally, after cleaning the toilet on New Year's Eve, candles should be inserted in the toilet and incense should be used to worship Ce Shen. For those families with poultry and livestock, cleaning the cowshed and henhouse is before the twelfth lunar month. Zhang Tiewen said that cleaning is not allowed on New Year's Day, water cannot be spilled, and brooms should be hidden from outsiders. First, in China, the Spring Festival generally begins with offering sacrifices to stoves. In folk songs, "Twenty-three, Melon Stick" refers to the annual sacrifice on the 23rd or 24th of the twelfth lunar month. There is a saying that "officials, three people, four boatmen and five", that is, officials hold sacrifices on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, ordinary people hold them on the 24th, and government boats hold them on the 25th. Second, after sweeping the dust and holding the stove festival, we officially began to prepare for the New Year. Every year from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to New Year's Eve, we folks call this period "Spring Festival" or "Dust Day". Dust removal is a year-end cleaning, which is called "house cleaning" in the north and "dust removal" in the south. It is a traditional habit of our people to sweep the dust before the Spring Festival. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household should clean the environment, clean all kinds of electrical appliances, remove and wash bedding curtains, sweep six yards, dust cobwebs and dredge culverts in open channels. North and south of the great river, everywhere is filled with the atmosphere of being willing to engage in hygiene and welcoming the Spring Festival cleanly. New Year's Eve (reunion dinner) III. New Year's Eve is extremely important for China people. On this day, people are ready to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and have a family reunion dinner. In ancient China, some prison officials even let prisoners go home to reunite with their families for the New Year, which shows how important "reunion dinner" is to ancient China people. Four. China people who worship their ancestors will never forget their dead ancestors during festivals, and the Spring Festival is no exception. In China, it is a common ceremony for China people to express their feelings with food or flowers. The form of ancestor worship may vary according to different religious beliefs, but the significance of commemorating ancestors is the same. In our country, people have the habit of observing the New Year's Eve. Watching the new year begins with eating New Year's Eve dinner. This New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten slowly, starting with lighting lanterns, and some families have to eat it until late at night. According to Zonggu's Chronicle of Jingchu, there was a custom of eating New Year's Eve dinner at least in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Sixth, according to the timing method of China people, the New Year and the Zodiac start at 1 1 p.m., so the traditional Spring Festival usually starts at 1 1 p.m.. However, most people in modern times welcome spring at midnight on 12. Seven. Sending "red envelopes" is the custom of Chinese New Year. China people like red because it symbolizes vitality, happiness and good luck. Eight. The custom of exchanging oranges during the Spring Festival is popular in Guangdong Province, China, which is closely related to the culture of the Chinese nation. In the folk, people are used to writing orange characters, which are very similar to auspicious characters. In the Spring Festival, people give oranges to each other for good luck, hoping that in the new year, small oranges can become people's amulets. Nine. Set off firecrackers in the New Year. Happy new year. According to the folklore of the god of wealth, the fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the god of wealth, so after the first day of the first month, the next most important activity is to meet the god of wealth. On the night before God of Wealth's birthday, every household will hold a banquet to celebrate God of Wealth. 12. On the second and third day of the first month, the married daughter goes back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year with her husband and children. When a daughter returns to her mother's house, there must be a big bag of biscuits and sweets distributed by her mother to her neighbors, just like the scene of the New Year. If there are many daughters at home, and these daughters don't come back on the same day, then we must share one at a time. The gift is quite thin, just four biscuits. However, it reflects a strong feeling. What is the real "courtesy is light and affection is heavy", which expresses the girl's yearning for the villagers. When the girl goes home, if there is a nephew at home, menstruation has to pay again. Although she gave lucky money on New Year's Day, this time it had a different meaning. This custom is called "eating midnight snack" by Chaoshan people. As the name implies, it's just lunch, and the daughter must get back to her grandmother's house before dinner.
