What do people like to buy to decorate the atmosphere at home during the Spring Festival? Thank you.

In addition to the old cleaning, new cloth is indispensable for the New Year. The size of the room is irrelevant. Welcoming the New Year has filled the family with a strong flavor of the New Year, the affection of benevolence and filial piety, the interpersonal communication of Cinda, the festive and peaceful atmosphere, the yearning for the lost years and the hope for a new life, which is enough to make this festival full of rich cultural implications. So besides hanging lanterns and putting up couplets, you can also decorate your home. In this way, you can feel the atmosphere brought by the Chinese New Year, family harmony and natural spirit. The color used in Chinese New Year is naturally red, which has two meanings: one is to ward off evil spirits, the other is auspicious, and gold can also bring festive vitality. Including sofa, bedspread, quilt cover, tablecloth, curtains, etc. They all come to play the game of "changing face", so that you can charm your hut with some cute or exquisite or interesting ornaments instead of spending a lot of time buying furniture and adjusting its orientation. Suggestion: 1. Add some green indoors. Recommendation: Second, the price of wild chlorophytum: 38 yuan's left and right chlorophytum is like an air fairy, and the air freshness at home is always worse than that outside. But if you hang a pot of chlorophytum indoors, it will be very different. Not only does it increase the vitality of going home for the New Year, but more importantly, it can magically "swallow" harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in indoor air within 24 hours, and the efficiency of absorbing harmful substances is higher than that of air filters. At the same time, the slender and flexible leaves of Chlorophytum naturally extend into the air like fairies in the air, adding to the wild interest at home. At present, the common varieties of chlorophytum are chlorophytum argenteum, chlorophytum broadleaf and chlorophytum narrowleaf. Another way to make the New Year's home more lively is to put some flowers and green leaves in potted plants. Flowers can choose flamingo red, pink lily, cockscomb, sunflower and other flowers that have a long life and can symbolize happiness to accompany the New Year holiday; As for green leaves, you can choose potted plants such as evergreen, pueraria lobata, kumquat, marigold and poinsettia, and tie red, purple and gold ribbons in Bridgette to have a sparkling auspicious year. Price: 100 yuan or so. 2. Buy some Chinese knots, hanging whips, window grilles, New Year pictures, goldfish, lanterns, diabolos, couplets, windmills and velvet flowers. Decorate your home with trinkets, making people feel the rich atmosphere of China Year. Price:100-around 300 yuan. 3, you can choose some red, golden purple pillows, placed on the living room sofa, bedroom bed, plus one or two pink-green, fluorescent green pillows, which can have a lively atmosphere. Price:100-around 300 yuan. 4, with a thick color carpet, put it under the table in the living room, or a carpet with animal patterns, with the red and purple sofa in the living room, can have a good effect. Price: about 500- 1000 yuan. 5. Red apples, green oranges and dried fruits in the right place are also good decorations. About 50- 100 yuan. 6. Crystal ornaments, colored tissue wind chimes, etc. You may wish to choose brand crystal pendant, which is of good workmanship, exquisite and elegant. If it is too expensive, you can also buy the now popular imitation crystal bead curtain instead. Imagine those beads with different shapes and soft colors hanging in the room and swaying gently in the wind, and crystal lights are scattered all over the room, which is refreshing. Reference price: Swarovski crystal pendant: around 600 yuan; Imitation crystal bead curtain around 30 yuan. At present, the most popular wind chime is tissue paper, which is a kind of wind chime made by hand with special pulp and various hand-painted patterns. Hand-painted colors are often colorful, such as sapphire, bright yellow, pink and so on. It makes people feel warm. Tissue wind chimes: about 140 yuan, kraft wind chimes: about 130 yuan. 7. Lighting is also important. Replacing unlit light bulbs or matching a lamp with interesting shape has created a lot of festive atmosphere. The price is around 200 yuan. 8. If there is a porch at home, you can't ignore it. Decorate the facade of a home, first of all, the decoration of the gate, paste red auspicious paper-cuts or embellish some trinkets, which can add to the atmosphere of the New Year. The price is around 20 yuan. 9. Dressing up every window will bring people into a fairy tale world. String colored lights or small red lanterns with metal wires. In front of the bright glass window, a feeling came again and again. The price is around 50 yuan. 10, buy some high-end candies, chocolates, melon seeds, peanuts, etc., with a few beautiful dishes, which can bring a little home atmosphere and the host's hospitality to the New Year. The price is around 200 yuan. Some information about the Chinese New Year: A Laba porridge and a human king entered the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the drama of the Chinese New Year began. On this day, everyone will cook a pot of Laba porridge. I remember my mother prepared rice, glutinous rice, yellow rice, cowpea, lotus seed, peanut, sesame, walnut kernel and jujube one by one in my childhood, and the beans should be soaked in advance. Cook in a casserole or iron pan for almost one night, first with strong fire, then with slow fire, and keep stirring and gurgling until it is half cooked, calling for the arrival of the New Year. Cooked the next day, add some sesame oil or big oil, add honey or sugar, everyone brings a bowl, looks at the colors and eats incense. At this time, grandma will talk about the past again. She asked, do you know how Laba porridge came from? We shook our heads. Grandma said: Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was poor when he was a child and herded cattle for others. One year, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he put cattle on the ground and watched the old cows have grass to eat. His stomach is so hungry that he can't help it. He went to catch voles. It never occurred to him that digging a pile of rice, corn and beans in a rat hole would cook porridge, so don't mention the smell. Later, when I became an emperor, I couldn't forget porridge. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people are ordered to cook porridge with whole grains. Maybe I'm tired of eating white rice flour, but this kind of miscellaneous cereal porridge is very sweet, and I gave it the name "Laba porridge" as soon as I was happy. Don't underestimate this bowl of porridge, it is still eaten by the emperor! When grandma said this, everyone laughed and ate more fragrant. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the preparations for the New Year are even more tense. There is a ballad about the preparation process: "Twenty-three kitchen gods go to heaven, twenty-four sweep houses, twenty-five paste windows, twenty-six stew, twenty-seven slaughter cocks, twenty-eight have white hair, twenty-nine stick friends (Spring Festival couplets), and thirty families happily eat jiaozi ..." Actually, it is busier than this jingle. The first ritual activity of the Chinese New Year is to send the kitchen god to heaven on the night of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is also called "honeydew melon sacrifice to the kitchen", which is very dramatic. It is not easy to say the origin of the chef king. In the old days, there was a good book saying, "There are nine people in our country, and the Jade Emperor sealed me in the kitchen. I came to the world to check good and evil, without clearing it first. " It can be seen that he is the "monitoring" messenger sent by the Jade Emperor to various families, and he knows the major events of the householder like the back of his hand. Unfortunately, his embassy was in an embarrassing situation, and everyone put him on the stove to prepare for the suffering of smoky fire. Kitchen God became a family and naturally took his wife with him. Just looking at the magic map, it is clear that the chef and his wife are sitting in the lobby. No officials stood in front of the chopping board, and there was no ceremonial display. There was only one groom leading the horse standing in front of the steps. The villagers said: "The real name of the kitchen god is Zhang, and a bowl of cold water is fragrant with three pillars." It seems that the chef is honest, does not talk about ostentation and extravagance, and sincerely performs the duties of the heavenly newspaper. Knowing that the Kitchen God has power and influence, and fearing that their dirty laundry will be exposed, the lay people posted a couplet for him, which read: "Heaven speaks well, and it is a blessing to return to the palace." This is a prayer for the future, but there is a hint of threat in the dark: if you don't say good things in heaven, there will be no auspicious day when you come back! Even so, the lay people were not at ease. On the 23rd, they sent the Kitchen God to heaven, without any other sacrifice, but put the "honeydew melon" on a stove. Melon is a mushy cake made of malt. When eating, the upper teeth are glued to the lower teeth, and honeydew melons are used to sacrifice the stove. This is obviously sticking to the mouth of the kitchen god and not letting others say it, but you just want others to "say the good things from heaven." It's like playing the kitchen god as a monkey! Sacrificial etiquette is also very simple: light candles, burn incense, kowtow, and then burn the kitchen god map with honeydew melon. A plate of honeydew melon and a wisp of smoke, the chef is in heaven. On the first day of the first month, the new map of the kitchen god was changed, which means that the kitchen god has returned to the palace. Whether God speaks well or ill is no longer questioned. Two clever hands squeezed out the elf and sent away the kitchen god. They were busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Tianjin customs, after New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first month, can not turn on the stove, all stoves are sealed with red paper. There are more than a dozen people in my family, so we should prepare enough food for five days. Let's say pasta, it will take several days to eat. Besides steamed bread, rats, hedgehogs, pigs, bats and other animals are steamed. Pinch out the shape by hand, then cut out the nose, ears, mouth, claws, tail and thorns on the hedgehog with scissors, and finally cover the eyes with beans, mung beans for mice, red beans for hedgehogs and black beans for fat pigs. I asked my grandmother, "Rats are really annoying. Why pinch it? " Grandma smiled and said, "silly boy, rats only exist in bumper years." People are starving, how can mice eat? " Oh, what a bumper harvest! These elves are still meaningful. The most troublesome thing is the steamed flower cake, which is a tribute before the Buddha and needs careful production. The method is simple, that is, make a round cake with white flour and embed red dates around it. There are just many, and there must be plans, one is bigger than the other. After steaming, air it for a while and pile it up in turn according to the size of the cake. The bottom is big, the top is small, like a pagoda, and the straw is fixed in the middle. The height can reach three or four feet. The whole body is also painted with beautifully printed "Eight Immortals", "Three Immortals of Fulushou" and flowers, birds and animals. , so it is called "flower cake". At ordinary times, my family has to steam six seats, two in front of each niche. I think this habit is bad and wastes a lot of food. When the tribute was withdrawn on the fifteenth day of the first month, the flower cake center was moldy and could only be used as chicken food. So, how do you store so many foods and dishes? This depends on the "earth refrigerator"-several three-foot-high vats, which are packed into vats layer by layer according to consumption and placed in a cool place in the yard, and will not rot for ten days. Dress up. Yingmen Tianjin in spring is very lively, and the decoration and layout of the New Year are very particular. At this time, the whole family mobilized and showed their magical powers. My characteristic is that I am good at handicrafts, and I can make decorations for the New Year. Traditionally, lanterns are hung in front of my house and cornucopia is placed in front of the grape trellis in the yard during the New Year. Of course, it is difficult to make palace lanterns, but I will make a 18 round lantern with toilet paper and electro-optic paper, and put a light bulb in it, which has the same effect as palace lanterns. So, how to make a cornucopia? The first step is to paste a ceramic basin with a diameter of 3 feet with red paper, and paste the Chinese character "cornucopia" with gold foil scissors, surrounded by Phnom Penh and flowers; Step 2, put sand in the basin, and densely insert sesame stalks and pine branches in the basin; The third step, which is also a troublesome step, is to make a lot of money with gold, silver, tin foil paper and various electro-optic papers, such as gold ingots, silver dollars, bergamot, finger spots, agate strings, pearl strings, jade strings, etc., and then hang them tightly on sesame stalks. When people step into the courtyard, they will feel that the colors and jewels of Jin Yin Huan are shining, and they are rich and auspicious. After these things are done, my siblings and I will stick door gods, couplets, banners and ingots on the doors and windows of various places respectively. Door gods are two mighty warriors, said to be the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, Qin and Weichi Gong. Why did you choose these two? According to legend, during his illness, Emperor Taizong was startled by the "ghost cry" and was too scared to sleep at night. So, Qin and Weichi Gong were holding swords and guarding the palace gate, safe and sound. Afterwards, Emperor Taizong ordered people to put portraits of Qin and Wei on the palace door to ward off evil spirits. Since then, ministers have followed suit and slowly spread to the people. The custom of posting Spring Festival couplets has a long history. The earliest prototype is the ancient peach symbol. It is said that during the Warring States Period, during the Spring Festival, people carved the names of "Shen Tu" and "Lei Yu" on the mahogany board and hung them by the door, calling them "Fu Tao". Later, Fu Tao's content was written as a banner of opposition. Since then, Fu Tao has evolved into Spring Festival couplets. Therefore, the nickname of Spring Festival couplets is also called Fu Tao. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing. Although he has no formal education, he is good at writing couplets. A incognito visit also wrote a famous couplet for a butcher's family, "Split the road of life and death with both hands and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife". So, he made an imperial edict on New Year's Eve: "A pair of Spring Festival couplets must be added to the minister's door." Since then, this custom has been handed down. Sticking Spring Festival couplets pays attention to adapting to local conditions. During the Chinese New Year, my family posted "Poems and Books are handed down from generation to generation, and faithfulness is handed down from family to family"; Four doors and two doors are affixed with the four characters of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom"; Grandma posted in the house that "Taijun in the class is a living Buddha, why should fairy mountain worship Buddha"; Most of the other bedrooms are "singing and laughing to bid farewell to the old days, and welcoming the new with poems, books, rituals and music" and the like; The couplets in the kitchen are also very instructive: "Eat three meals during the solar eclipse, think of the sufferings of farmers, wear a wisp of clothes and remember the work of the Weaver Girl". As for gables and pillars, banners such as "Looking up to see happiness", "Good luck shines high" and "Purple gas comes from the east" are posted. These Spring Festival couplets and banners were written by my uncle. His literary talent and calligraphy are very accomplished. In addition, I also pay attention to stick grilles and New Year pictures. The contents of the window grilles are also very auspicious, such as "Five Blessingg holds longevity", "Lucky for wealth", "Fat Pig Arch" and "Celebrate with more luck". As for the indoor New Year pictures, it is all-encompassing, and it is a long story: New Year pictures originated from the door-god paintings in the Yao and Shun period and evolved into woodcut New Year pictures in the Song Dynasty. The earliest existing New Year picture is Song Ban's Graceful and Delicate Picture, which depicts Wang Zhaojun, Zhao, Ban Ji and Green Pearl, commonly known as "Simitu". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, New Year pictures formed three schools: Yangliuqing in Tianjin, Taohuawu in Suzhou and Weixian in Shandong. Therefore, Tianjin people have a special liking for New Year pictures, which are plastered all over the walls every New Year. There are classic literary works, serial stories of twenty-four filial piety, and even separate fragments to describe them, such as six countries respecting each other, three godsons, Confucius' study tour, Meng Mu neighborhood selection, digging a wall with light, hanging a beam and stabbing a stock, Zhong Kui marrying a sister, Taibai getting drunk, Wu Kai in Tiangong, and finally, there is another meaningful thing I want to do, that is to draw a "grain shop". Although more than ten generations of my family are not in the countryside, the legacy of wishing for a bumper harvest has an indelible influence. Every new year, grandma orders me to draw a grain shop in every room. The so-called "grain shop" is to draw a money pattern with a diameter of more than one meter with lime or chalk in the center of the room. This "money" symbolizes a garden-shaped "grain store", and then a ladder is drawn from the edge of the "grain store" to the door, symbolizing that people "step on the ladder to enter the store". After painting, a small bag of rice will be put in the square hole of the money, thus setting up a "rice bin". If you put a bag of wheat, it is a "wheat barn". The house is built, the grain is abundant and everything is ready. China deserves to be an agriculture-oriented country, and my grandmother never forgets to take grain as the key link. The task of the elders of the four Buddhist temples is much more sacred and solemn than that of the children, that is, dusting the Buddhist temples and arranging sacrifices. In the middle of my north house is a Buddhist temple dedicated to three groups of shrines. This is a sacred place, and naturally children are not allowed to touch it. During the Chinese New Year, adults personally dusted the shrine, changed the curtains, polished all the sacrificial vessels, and repainted the electric wax with red paint and gold lettering. Then, put colored lights on the top of the niche, and put up flags and the word "Fu". The sacrificial plate is filled with dried and fresh fruits, various cakes, square meat, wowo chicken and tower-shaped flower cakes. It is really dazzling and beautiful, which makes the children drool. It takes half a month to arrange all the decorations. When the garden is full and exhausted, look at the whole yard inside and outside the house. It's a festive, warm and prosperous atmosphere with clouds and weather. Jiaozi time flies in the hustle and bustle, and all the hard work is to welcome the "Chinese New Year" starting on New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is the night to turn a year into a new one. The so-called "one night for two years, five hours for two years" and "one night for * * * to welcome the New Year" are highly valued by China people. That night, after many hardships, people put on new clothes and hats, and served prepared cold dishes and hot meat. This family dinner has always been the most abundant in a year. Of course, besides vegetables, the staple food is jiaozi, and jiaozi is the soul of the New Year's Eve. This kind of food has a long history in jiaozi. According to historical records, China had wonton in the Han Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, it was crescent-shaped and crossed. Yan Zhitui, a native of Sui Dynasty, said: "Today, wonton is shaped like a crescent moon, and it is delicious all over the world." It's true. After liberation, a complete jiaozi was preserved in a wooden bowl unearthed from a tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Turpan, Xinjiang, indicating that the custom of eating jiaozi in the Tang Dynasty had spread to remote areas. Northerners have a saying: "Comfortable but upside down, delicious but jiaozi." Needless to say, this kind of jiaozi is just a pleasure: the clean white jiaozi rolls up and down in a steaming pot. Once fished out, every jiaozi looks full of vitality. Through the translucent skin, you can see bright green vegetables or pink meatballs inside, and a fragrance comes from the dense, who doesn't appetize? I heard that in some places, my mother-in-law visits her daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, that is, she uses jiaozi's courses. If the daughter-in-law moves quickly, then Jiaozi is neat and beautiful, sitting on the grass tray in high spirits, and her mother-in-law smiles like honey. She knows this is a better daughter-in-law; If that creature lies round, her mother-in-law will still be happy-this daughter-in-law is lazy, but a little lucky; If the daughter-in-law's darling was withered, blind and crooked, her mother-in-law would have frosted her face by then and would still say in her heart, "Poor you!" It seems that not only the writing is like a man, but also the words are like men, and so is Jiaozi! China people love jiaozi so much, of course, it is listed as a necessary food for such a major festival as the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, the whole family is happy, mixing noodles, chopping stuffing, rolling skin, wrapping jiaozi, kissing for warmth, talking and laughing, auspicious and festive. In fact, for wealthy families, this meal in jiaozi is not much different from that in peacetime, but what makes jiaozi special on New Year's Eve is its profound meaning. No matter the poor and the rich, the big house and the small door, living at home and running around, all gathered for this jiaozi group. Even if you are a wanderer who can't go home overseas, you should also pack a meal in jiaozi in that foreign land and send your homesickness away. Little Jiaozi contains heavy courtesy, deep affection and infinite love; This friend resolved old grievances, stitched up the diaphragm, communicated with the soul, and stored the so-called benevolence and filial piety in it. All the people of China, in line with their own wishes, lit up the jiaozi. Jiaozi is a well-deserved China specialty food! Six ancestors sacrificed to God, and jiaozi finished eating. In a peaceful atmosphere, everyone is waiting for a sacred moment, that is, the New Year's Eve sacrificial ceremony. In the life of China people in the old society, the Spring Festival has a strong ceremonial function, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, praying for the memory of ancestors and looking forward to the future. At midnight on New Year's Eve, the ceremony began. My Buddhist temple is brightly lit, red candles are shining, lanterns are flashing, and all the sacrifices reflect dazzling light. Firecrackers sounded outside the hall, and the hall was full of colors, and the solemn atmosphere came into being. At this time, my grandmother was sitting in the plush chair, and the others were at the edge of the hall. He stood with his hands down. My uncle started the main sacrifice on behalf of my grandmother and the whole family, and burned a thick whole sacrifice incense. At this moment, the fire is clear, the smoke is curling, the bronze bells are ringing and the sound is clear. The old uncle kneels three times and knocks nine times, offering sacrifices to the Buddha first and then to the ancestors. He loudly wished the Buddha good luck, good health for the whole family, long life and prosperity for all trades. After the sacrifice, New Year greetings will be paid in order of seniority and ranking. The New Year greeting ceremony is still kowtowing to the Buddha, but his mouth is full of praise: "хххх, I will pay a New Year greeting to you." The method of kowtowing is also very standard: stand in front of the futon, with your left leg first, your right leg kneeling, your hands folded and placed on your left knee. Then kneel down with your legs together, your upper body straight, your body slightly tilted, bend over and kowtow, and knock your head off the ground three times with one punch. These ceremonies infiltrated ethics and etiquette, and over time, in my young mind, I deeply branded the ethical norms of respecting long-term and orderly growth. After the seventh birthday, after the whole set of sacrifices is completed, the elders will give money to the younger generation to "suppress the age". It stands to reason that at this time, the year has passed and the year is long, but according to the custom, everyone should "watch the night" all night. Meng Yuanshen in the Southern Song Dynasty recorded in love love love in Tokyo: "It is a night when firecrackers are heard in the mountains and people are heard outside, sitting in the scholar's house around the stove, and can't sleep for a long time, which is called shou sui." It can be seen that this custom has been going on for a long time. I think the custom of "suppressing the age" and "keeping the age" has been passed down to this day, which is probably a very practical expression of cherishing the years. In some places, it is also called "longevity night", which symbolizes that the elders hope to live long. On the night of "Shousui", adults completely relaxed, chewed melon seeds, held sesame candy and chatted leisurely. When they have played enough, they will "tease ten" (old-fashioned cards) and "push nine cards" (old-fashioned bamboo cards) and play chess happily. You can't sweep dander all over the floor. If everyone steps on it, it's called stepping on the "old" (broken), and you can't take out the garbage, for fear of dumping your wealth. The children ran out of the door hand in hand with lanterns of various colors-paper lanterns, gauze lanterns, bamboo lanterns, wooden lanterns and glass lanterns. Calling friends along the way: "Play lanterns, roast hands, kiss and come out; Stars in the sky, lights on the ground, who is not lazy! ..... "The outside world is really wonderful, and every street is a long river of lights. All the companies put long tables in front of their doors, with piles of firecrackers and fireworks on them, so that the apprentices can set them off at will. It seems to be a strength competition, and spectators can judge who is majestic and who is heroic. The pot was boiled in the sky, and the sound of "bean explosion" was accompanied by the sound of two feet kicking. Paper pieces were everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder stimulated people's spirits to be more excited. After all, children can't stand adults. After midnight, they stagger and dream of "Duke of Zhou". Before the fifteenth day of the first month, most people were busy visiting relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year. The only important sacrifice is to greet the god of wealth on the second day of the first month. Speaking of the god of wealth, except for commercial houses, ordinary people do not sacrifice all the year round. Just before New Year's Eve, every household asked for a portrait of the God of Wealth, and then held a ceremony to welcome the God of Wealth on the second day of the following year. In the middle of the night after the second day of junior high school, adults get up and open the gate to set off firecrackers. At this moment, a porter came into the gate with a load of water and a bundle of firewood. I heard the porter singing, "Hold your head high as soon as you come in, Lord God of Wealth, please come in. The whole family is in good health and everything is prosperous. Good luck in the new year. " Then shouted: "send money to send water!" " "At this time, firecrackers exploded, and the old uncle and others bowed and welcomed the porters into the hospital. On the north wall stood a bundle of firewood with the word "Fu" on it. Two buckets of water were poured into the jar, and the word "Fu" was affixed, and a red envelope was given to the porter as a reward. Then enter the Buddhist temple, burn incense and kowtow to the god of wealth, and the adults shake hands and greet each other, "Congratulations on making a fortune". After the ceremony, the god of wealth was burned to the sky. This custom seems to say that after the Lord God of Wealth scattered his wealth, he disdained to stay in any one house for a long time, and the owner's home had to take over the delivery. It seems that the rich god of wealth is much more valuable.
