The custom of the Spring Festival "Please sum it up in 50 words"

No.26 Xifu Road 1

In traditional folk customs, we should concentrate on bathing and washing clothes these two days to get rid of the bad luck of the year and prepare for the Spring Festival next year. There is a saying in Beijing that "twenty-seven washes away the root of the disease, and twenty-eight washes away the mess." Taking a bath on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month is "washing Fulu".

2, 29 small New Year's Eve

The day before New Year's Eve is called "New Year's Eve", and people call it "Don't be old" when greeting each other. Burning incense outdoors is called "Tianxiang", which usually takes three days. Celebrating the New Year is also called "adjusting the annual meeting".

3. The twelfth day of the first month.

On the twelfth day of the first month, we set up a lantern shed, hold a lantern reception, cook a vegetarian meal, make a cup, mark a cannon, and so on. From then on, people began to prepare for the Lantern Festival, buy lanterns, build light sheds, make lanterns and javelin. There is a nursery rhyme that says, "Eleven people clamor, twelve people build a light shed, thirteen people turn on the lights, fourteen lights are on, fifteen lines and a half months, and sixteen people finish the lights."
