What customs have been handed down in the countryside during the Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival is the biggest traditional folk festival in China, and it is a folk festival integrating blessing, entertainment and food. The Spring Festival has a long history, which evolved from the sacrificial rites of praying for the New Year at the beginning of ancient times, and bears rich historical and cultural connotations in its inheritance and development. New Year's greeting activities are centered on offering wishes and praying for blessings, and are carried out in the form of eliminating the old, worshipping ancestors, exorcising evil spirits and praying for a bumper harvest. The content is rich and colorful, lively and festive, and the annual flavor is rich, which embodies the essence of traditional culture of Chinese civilization. During the Spring Festival, various New Year celebrations will be held all over the country. Due to different regional cultures, the content or details of customs are also different. There are various customs handed down.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, we pay homage to our ancestors. There is a family auditorium hanging on the wall behind the square table in the main room. There are sacrifices such as cooked meat, fried food, snacks and fruits on the table, which are covered with spinach leaves and called Qingtou. In addition, wine and tea should be provided. The old and new people died alone and went to their families three years later. There is a sacrificial platform for heaven and earth outside the door. You have to burn incense and paper. Sacrifice offerings before noon 12, then light firecrackers and have a reunion dinner (the lost brothers are all around the old man). Jiaozi, who packs vegetarian stuffing in the afternoon, will pack coins in 2-3 boxes randomly when she packs jiaozi. Stick Spring Festival couplets on the door and New Year pictures in the house. Light firecrackers at night to eat jiaozi's burnt old cow.

Get up at 4 o'clock on New Year's Day to cook vegetarian dumplings. In order not to scare away the "grandparents" who go home for the New Year, try not to make any noise. No bellows, no bowls, no garlic. So firewood must be selected the day before. Get acquainted with jiaozi first, and the younger generation kowtows to the elders before eating jiaozi. People who eat coins will be very happy, which means they are rich and have money to spend. Both jiaozi and jiaozi should be very careful. Careful women should be sent to avoid intercourse, otherwise it will be considered unlucky.

On the second day of the first month, there is no specific time to send "grandparents" in advance. The principle is that it will not light up after delivery. So I have to get up early the next day, and some people in the college organize it, with firecrackers as the number, and everyone gathers. After confession, we light incense. Subconsciously, we think that "grandparents" will follow the incense and must keep it burning. Then go to the grave, kowtow and set off firecrackers. Then come back and retract your confession. And many other customs.
