Is there a custom of kowtowing to the elderly during the Spring Festival?

We belong to the west of Guanzhong and have the traditional custom of Spring Festival. Every year during the Spring Festival, we will go to the villages with gongs and drums on the first day of the New Year's Day to get off to a good start. Later, I visited relatives and friends, and visited social fires, gongs and drums from the fifth day of the fifth year. , has been busy until the end of the fifteenth. Generally speaking, primary and middle school students who pay New Year greetings to the elderly all kowtow to their grandparents and uncles. The elders gave them lucky money again, but they couldn't remember what they gave them, and then they kowtowed. When you grow to 18 years old or work, you won't kowtow, and your elders don't have to give lucky money.

The habit of kowtowing still exists, but it is only a means for children to ask their elders for lucky money.

Spring Festival is the most traditional and grand festival of China People's Travel Agency. In the past, there were many customs. With the development of society and the change of lifestyle, some habits gradually change. However, during the Spring Festival, children meet their elders for the first time and kowtow for lucky money. We have always kept the custom here, which is also the happiest and favorite thing for children.

I remember when I was a child, I went to my uncle's house. When I saw my uncle, I knelt down and kowtowed. My uncle was busy giving lucky money. Sometimes when I see other children kneeling and kowtowing, I also kneel and kowtow, and my uncle will give it to me. This is also the best time for children to bully their closest elders.

Children kowtow during the Spring Festival, and sometimes parents also boo. If parents see who makes more money this year, parents, brothers and sisters, tell their children to kowtow more and ask for more money, and they can't get up without money. Of course, parents also tell their children in advance that they don't want more and give as much as they want. This is also the most lively Spring Festival and the happiest time for family members. In order to prevent my niece and nephew from kowtowing repeatedly, some people kowtow together, and they are not allowed to kowtow until they get together. The children are running around the yard looking for someone.

Kowtowing can help children form a fine tradition of respecting the elderly from an early age.

Some rural customs can be changed during the New Year, but kowtowing can't be lost. This kind of kneeling embodies the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young. The seemingly low-level custom instills respect for the elders in children from the side and respects them when they grow up. I think we should start from bit by bit and start from a young age.

And exquisite kowtow. After the first head, kneel straight up, then kowtow to the second head, kowtow to the third head, and finally stand up. Don't be like? Pouring garlic Yes, it's impolite to touch your head three times in a row without straightening it. As parents, we should teach our children the correct way to kowtow, not casually, but with respect. In this way, children can gradually develop good habits and respect for their elders.
