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

1, stir-fry new year's goods

Fried new year's goods are indispensable in all parts of Henan for the New Year. Fried meatballs, fried lotus clips and fried crisp meat are the main dishes in the new year's goods. Pork is indispensable for almost every new year's goods. As the New Year approaches, families will cut pork in advance to prepare.

2. Scold social fire

This is a peculiar folk custom in Sanmenxia, Henan Province, among which the folk custom in Yangping Town, lingbao city is the most typical. Because of its uniqueness, it was listed as an intangible cultural heritage in Henan Province in 2007. The activities of cursing social fire include cursing social fire and performing social fire. The time is from the second day of the first month to the sixteenth day of the first month every year, and the scene is very lively.

3. The first month of the ancient temple fair

What I'm talking about here is the first month ancient temple fair in Xunxian County, Hebi. This activity runs through the whole first month from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the second day of February. Because of its large scale, long time and strong festive atmosphere, it is called the carnival of China by the Canadian scholar Mr. Andry.

During the ancient temple fair, various celebrations continued. Folk performances such as lion dance, dragon dance, walking on stilts and playing Hua Gun are dazzling, as are all kinds of small handicrafts and traditional times. The crowd was bustling for a long time. If friends from other places come here for the New Year, it must be very experienced.

Step 4 take a five-minute break

There are many taboos during the Chinese New Year, such as shaking the bed, sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage, splashing sewage and using scissors. But on the fifth day, all taboos can be broken. In the early morning of May Day, every household began to set off firecrackers to eat jiaozi. Finally, you don't need to tie your hands and feet, but you are forbidden to eat jiaozi to celebrate.
