The orthodox way of eating dumplings is to boil them in water and then dip them in soy sauce flavored with vinegar, garlic, and sesame oil. Dumplings can also be deep-fried and cooked (potstickers). This is because the word "he" (和) means "to merge" (合), and the words "饺子" (饺子) and "交" (交), which mean "to merge" and "to merge" (合), harmonize with each other.

This scene, even if people to white head can still remember.

There are three main activities on New Year's Eve: eating a reunion dinner, offering sacrifices, and observing the New Year.

Chinese folk have the custom of keeping watch on New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve celebration begins with the New Year's Eve dinner, which is eaten slowly, from the time of the lantern to the table, and some people have to eat until late at night. According to the record of "Jing Chu Yearly Records", there was a custom of having New Year's Eve dinner at least in the North and South Dynasties.

The custom of New Year's Eve celebration is both a farewell to the passing years and an expression of hope for the coming New Year. Ancient people wrote in a poem, "The year-end vigil": "We invite each other to watch the year-end A Rong family, wax torch red to the blue yarn; thirty-six years have wasted, preferring to cherish the years from this night." Cherishing years is a common human feeling, so Su Shi, a great poet, wrote the famous lines of the New Year's Eve: "Will there be no year next year, and I am afraid of wasting my time; I will make every effort to do my best this evening, and the youths can still be boasted!" This shows the positive significance of New Year's Eve.

The New Year's Eve vigil, commonly known as the "New Year's Eve". Why do you call it "boiling the year"? There is an interesting story that has been passed down from generation to generation in the folklore: according to legend, in the ancient flood era, there was a vicious monster, people called him "year". Every New Year's Eve, the beast will crawl out of the sea to hurt people and animals, destroy the fields, disaster in the people who have worked hard for a year. People in order to avoid the beast of the year, the night of Lunar New Year's Eve, the sky is not dark on the early close the door, do not dare to sleep, sit and wait for dawn, in order to kill time, but also for the courage, they drink. Waiting for the first morning of the year the beast no longer come out, only dare to go out. People meet each other, congratulations, congratulations, thankful not to be eaten by the beast of the year, so after many years, nothing happened, people on the beast of the year to relax their vigilance. On the night of the 30th of one year, the beast suddenly scurried to a village in Jiangnan, a village of people almost eaten up by the beast, only a family hanging red curtains, wearing a red dress of the newlyweds are safe and sound. There are a few children, in the yard lit a pile of bamboo at play, the fire red, bamboo burning "pop" burst, the beast turned here, saw the fire scared to turn their heads and fled. Since then, people know that the beast is afraid of red, afraid of light, afraid of the sound, every year-end, every family will stick red paper, wear red robes, hanging red lanterns, banging gongs and drums, firecrackers, so that the beast will not dare to come back. In the poem "Shijing-Xiaoya. Tingliao", there is a record of "the light of Tingliao". The so-called "Tingliao" is made of bamboo poles and other torches, bamboo poles burn, the air in the bamboo expansion, bamboo cavity burst, emitting crackling sound, which is also the "firecrackers" origin. However, in some places, the villagers do not know the New Year beast afraid of red, often eaten by the New Year beast. This matter later spread to the sky of the purple star, he in order to save people, determined to eliminate the beast. One year, he waited for the beast to come out, he used a fireball to knock it down, and then used a thick iron chain to lock it on a stone pillar. From then on, every New Year, people always burned incense and asked Zi Wei Xing to come down to the world to keep the peace.

The above is the origin of the legendary New Year's Eve vigil.

In this "one night even two years, five nights divided into two years" night, family reunion, get together. The whole family sat together, refreshments and fruits on a table. On New Year's Day, a big plate of apples is indispensable, which is called "peace and security". In the north, some people also want to provide a pot of rice, burned before, to provide for the New Year, called the "New Year's Eve rice", is leftover rice year after year, year-round food, this year also ate the meaning of the food of the past year. This pot of next year's rice is generally mixed with rice and millet to cook, Beijing slang called "two rice", in order to have yellow and white, which is called "gold and silver, gold and silver pot full of" "gold and silver rice". Many places in the New Year's Eve prepared cakes and fruits, are trying to get a lucky mouth: eat jujube (early spring), eat persimmon cakes (everything is as good as it can be), eat almonds (happy people), eat long-life fruit (longevity), eat rice cakes (a year higher than a year). On New Year's Eve, the family, while eating and having fun, talk and laugh. There are also popular families pushing pai gow, rolling dice, betting on pokies, playing mahjong, the sound of noise and laughter into the climax of the New Year's Eve joy.

In China's Guangdong region is popular in the New Year's Eve custom of giving each other oranges, this custom is closely linked to the culture of the Chinese nation. In folklore, people are accustomed to write the word tangerine into the word orange, and the word tangerine and the word is very similar to the word Ji, the New Year folk with tangerines to each other in order to seek good luck, hope that in the new year of good luck, a small tangerine has also become a talisman of the people.

Usually, when a woman goes to a relative or friend's house to pay a New Year's visit, she has to prepare some red oranges and carry them in a basket as a New Year's gift, and the gifts she gets in return are all these things.

In Haifeng, Guangdong, juniors pay New Year's greetings to their elders by kowtowing and making a bow, and the elders reward the juniors with money wrapped in red paper or by taking mandarin oranges. As is the custom in all parts of China, the younger generation pays homage to their elders, who naturally want to reward them. As for the food to be given to the younger generation, it is natural to choose items that the children love to eat and that have auspicious meanings, and so tangerines are chosen as this food with special meanings. As for the red packet reward, the children themselves were allowed to buy something they loved to eat and play with, which was later changed to simplify the procedure, although the meaning is the same, but still not as meaningful as the traditional gift of an orange.

In Chiu Chow, people call tangerines big tangerines, and its harmonic sound is "Daji", therefore, to relatives to bring tangerines to celebrate the New Year, the host will take their own big tangerines and congratulate the guests brought to exchange, in order to mutual goodwill, each get lucky. If the children of family A hit or scolded the children of family B during the New Year festival, family A must send a pair of tangerines to make amends, and the parents of family A do not blame their children; family B accepts the tangerines and forgives the children of family A. This means that family B has suffered from bad luck and has to bring tangerines to their relatives' homes. This means that family B has suffered an unlucky fight, and family A's compensatory gift is offered to family B with good fortune, so that family B and family B's children will be free from unlucky things this year.

Chinese New Year scrolls, originated from peach symbols." Peach talisman", a rectangular peach wood board hung on both sides of the gate in the Zhou Dynasty. According to the "Houhan Book, rituals," said the peach runes six inches long, three inches wide, peach board on the book, "Shentian", "Yubi" two gods." On the first day of the first month, the peach symbol is made on the household, the name of the immortal wood, all the ghosts are afraid of." Therefore, the Qing Dynasty, "Yanjing chronicle" said: "Spring Festival couplets, that is, peach symbols also."

During the Five Dynasties, in the court of Western Sichuan, some people wrote couplets on peach charms. According to the "History of Song, Shu Shijia" said: after the Lord of Shu Meng Chang made bachelor Zhang Xun Peach board, "to its non-worker, since the pen title: 'New Year's Day Na Yuqing, Jiajie No. Changchun'", this is the first pair of Spring Festival couplets in our country. Until the Song Dynasty, spring scrolls were still called "peach symbols". In Wang Anshi's poem, there is a line "Thousands of doors and tens of thousands of households, always changing the new peach for the old one". In the Song Dynasty, peach charms from peach board to paper, called "spring stickers".

Ming Dynasty, the peach runes were renamed "Spring Festival". Ming Dynasty Chen Yunzhan "hairpin cloud building miscellany" in: "the set of spring couplets, since the beginning of the Ming Taizu. Imperial capital of Jinling, New Year's Eve before the sudden decree: public officials and the general public shall be added to the door of the Spring Festival couplets a picture of the emperor appeared in the micro line." Zhu Yuanzhang not only personally out of the city in micro clothes, viewing the laughter and music, he also personally inscribed spring couplets. He passed by a family, see the door has not been posted on the Spring Festival couplets, they went to ask, know that this is a family of castration of pigs, has not yet hired someone to write. Zhu Yuanzhang specially for the pig castration people wrote "hands split the road of life and death, a knife cut off the root of right and wrong" of the Spring Festival couplets. Couplet is apt and humorous. After the Ming Taizu this advocate, since then the Spring Festival couplets have become customary, has been handed down to the present day.

The first thing to do at the beginning of the New Year is to put up door gods and couplets. Whenever the New Year's Day 30 (or 29), families have to go out to the street to buy spring couplets, and those who have the pleasure of doing so also spread the paper, ink and spring, will be decorated inside and outside the gateway to the house.

The god of the door, according to legend, is the god Tea Yubi, who can catch ghosts. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ying Shao's "Customs" quoted in the Book of the Yellow Emperor as saying: "In ancient times, there were two brothers, the god Naphthalene Yubi, who lived on Dushuo Mountain. There was a peach tree on the mountain, which gave them shade. Every morning, they examined all the ghosts under this tree. If there was an evil spirit that harmed the earth, they would tie it up and feed it to tigers. Later, people would use two peach wood boards to paint the portraits of Shencha and Yubi and hang them on both sides of the door.

Used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. South Dynasty - Liang - Zong Gao "Jing Chu chronicles" recorded: the first day of the first month, "the peach board with the household, known as the immortal wood, painted two gods posted on the left and right of the household, the left god naphthalene, the right Yu Rang, commonly known as the door god." However, the real historical record of the door god, but not the god tea, Yu Rang, but an ancient warrior called Cheng Qing. In Ban Gu's "Book of Han - Biography of the King of Guangchuan", it is recorded that on the door of the palace of the King of Guangchuan, there was a painting of an ancient warrior named Cheng Qing, with a short coat, big pants and a long sword. In the Tang Dynasty, the position of the door god was replaced by Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde.

The Journey to the West is even more detailed: the Dragon King of the Trail River made a bet with a fortune-teller, and ended up committing a crime that deserved to be decapitated. The Jade Emperor appointed Wei Zheng as the supervisor of the beheading. In order to survive, the Dragon King begged for mercy from Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Taizong agreed, to behead the dragon of the hour, will be summoned to Wei Zheng and the game. I didn't expect Wei Zheng to play the game, played a proteus, and then the spirit ascended to heaven, and beheaded the dragon king. The Dragon King complained that Taizong's words were not honored, and he was outside the palace day and night, crying out for his life. Emperor Taizong told his ministers that Qin Shubao, a general, would like to wait outside the palace with Yuchi Jingde in military attire. Emperor Taizong agreed. That night, nothing happened. Emperor Taizong could not bear the hard work of the two generals, so he ordered a skillful artist to draw the real faces of the two generals and paste them on the door. The two generals have become the door gods of thousands of households. In today's Chaoshan, some of the old-style doorway on the two gates, we can still see the god tea, Yubi, or two members of the gallant war generals, the image seems to be the same, but a closer look, one of the hands holding a steel whip, the other hand holding an iron mace. The whip-wielder is Yuchi Jingde and the mace-wielder is Qin Qiong. The seventh day of the first month of the first year of the lunar calendar is also known as "People's Victory Festival", "People's Celebration Festival", "Population Day" and "People's Seventh Day".

The eighth day of the first month, the Valley Day, the day when the stars come down to the world, also known as the "Star Sacrifice" and "Star Receiving Day"

The tenth day of the first month, the birthday of the stone, the "Stone Immovable" and the "Ten Immovable". "
