What is China's song of 20 years old in the New Year?

Twenty-three honeydew melons are sticky,

24 cleaning the house,

25 make tofu,

26 stews,

27-year-old chicken,

28 facial treatments,

Twenty-nine steamed buns,

Stay awake for 30 nights in a row,

On the first day of the new year.

In the traditional customs of China people, from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the 15th day of the first lunar month, there are exquisite things every day, such as offering sacrifices to stoves, drinking and shaving their heads ... But nowadays, many customs are gone. With the growth of age, there are fewer and fewer expectations for the Chinese New Year. I remember when I was a child, I was looking forward to the New Year. At that time, every household killed pigs, steamed buns and made tofu. Now they all go to the market and buy directly. Few people do it by themselves.

Twenty-three of twelfth lunar month

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, also called "off-year", is the day when people worship the kitchen. It is said that every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Kitchen God will tell the Jade Emperor about the good and evil of this family and let the Jade Emperor reward and punish them. Therefore, when sending stoves, people will put candy, water, beans and grass on the console table in front of the statue of the kitchen god, and the last three are for the kitchen god's mount to ascend to heaven. When offering sacrifices to the stove, you should melt the Guandong sugar with fire and put it on the mouth of the kitchen god. In this way, he can't speak ill of the jade emperor There is a folk custom that "men don't Yue Bai, women don't offer sacrifices to stoves", so the owner of offering sacrifices to stoves is limited to men.

"On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, push the mill to make tofu." According to research, tofu was invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty. Interestingly, some places still have the custom of eating tofu residue before New Year's Eve. The reason is that the local legend says that the Jade Emperor will go to the lower bound to see if each family is acting like the Kitchen God, so each family will eat tofu dregs to show their poverty and avoid the punishment of the Jade Emperor.
