The customs and habits of Nanchang

Spring Festival: We Nanchang people say: After twenty-four, we celebrate the Spring Festival every day (Nanchang dialect). Because Qin Shihuang recruited civilian workers to build the Great Wall in Wan Li, Nanchang civilian workers didn't return home until the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the whole family took the time of family reunion as the "New Year". Therefore, Nanchang people celebrate the New Year on different days and at different times. Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six and twenty-seven are all Chinese New Year holidays, some in the morning, some in middle age and some in the evening. New Year's greetings: On the first day of the first month, the younger generation pays New Year's greetings to the elders in turn, and the elders lead the younger generation to pay New Year's greetings to their neighbors. There is a saying in Nanchang: (Nanchang dialect) A one-year-old boy, a two-year-old boy, a three-year-old uncle, a three-year-old boy and a four-year-old boy also pay homage to their deceased relatives. It's different now. Telephones, pagers and mobile phones are very popular. You can call and leave a message. Change tea: it means "change money", which means everyone is rich. Wrap the cake with thick wool paper and a layer of white paper, then stick a piece of red paper and distribute it everywhere. Just one thing, just one thing, only form, no content. Those who are greedy and playful will eat the bread inside and replace it with stones or sand. The last seven days are like years: Nanchang people attach importance to the last seven days. On this day, they should have a good meal and eat "paste soup", which symbolizes their promotion step by step. On this day, a grand sacrificial ceremony is usually held.
