Guigang jisu composition more than 500

"Twenty-three, honeydew melons are sticky, twenty-four, writing blessings, twenty-five, sweeping dust, twenty-six, eating bacon, twenty-seven, stewing a chicken, twenty-eight, making noodles, twenty-nine, preparing altar wine,

Stay up for 30 nights, New Year's Day. "

This nursery rhyme has been widely circulated since the Ming Dynasty, and it let me know the custom of my ancestors for the New Year.

According to legend, there is a monster called Nian, who comes to harm the world every New Year's Eve. A fairy taught people to put red paper on the door and set off firecrackers, and finally scared away the "Nian" beast. Since then, on New Year's Eve, people put red couplets on the doors and set off firecrackers. Every candle is brightly lit, so it's better to save it for old age; In the early morning of the first day of the first month, people who have avoided the "Nian" beast have visited relatives and friends to congratulate and say hello to them. This custom has been passed down to this day.

The custom of the Spring Festival began in Shang Dynasty. After more than 3000 years of evolution, there are many interesting customs and etiquette. I like to worship the kitchen god best. I can eat sweet maltose, drink laba porridge and receive red envelopes.

On New Year's Eve, my mother cooked her own New Year's Eve. The smell of chicken, mutton and fried fish filled the room ... how delicious! Is really "droplets down three thousands of feet, suspected immortal descent".

When my mother is busy in the kitchen, I am busy in the living room-sweeping the floor, wiping the table, collecting shoes and taking out the garbage.

There is a custom here-"sweeping the floor and wiping the table" is to clean the New Year; "Receiving shoes"-that is, we can't let "evil spirits of the old year" block "wealth, happiness and good luck of the new year" and take out the garbage-that is, we take out all the bad luck of the old year, and everyone in our family takes out the garbage. I wish the whole family good luck in the new year.

There is also an important annual custom-during the Chinese New Year, every household should put beautifully packaged cakes and sweets. "Sugar" means that in the new year, life at home is sweeter than honey.
