At the time of receiving God, the door of the house was open, and a sacrificial table was placed in the yard. The table was covered with candles and incense for firecrackers. The host bowed and was welcomed into the room from the outside. Insiders asked: Do you welcome the God of Wealth? The man immediately replied happily: welcome, welcome the god of wealth! At this time, someone will carry a bundle of firewood from outside the house, and the hostess will ask: Did you carry firewood (wealth)? The woodcutter immediately replied happily: I got firewood chopping (wealth)! Chai homophonic for wealth, take its auspicious meaning.

The youngest child in the family had to lie on the high quilt in advance, when the host asked: Is the boy up? The child immediately got up from the place where he was left behind and answered loudly: get up, get up!

The hostess began to cook jiaozi, the goddess of New Year's Eve, and deliberately broke off a few when cooking. The hostess asked: Did you earn it? The hostess replied: I earned it! It is forbidden to call it cooking to earn money. At this time, the table was set, jiaozi served it, and the family sat together for dinner. After liberation, superstition was broken, firecrackers were set off on New Year's Eve to celebrate the Spring Festival, and the custom of receiving the god of wealth gradually disappeared.

Popular beliefs and customs in Heilongjiang province. On the Lantern Festival, every household makes a surface lamp, which is shaped like a bowl, commonly known as a lamp bowl.

Then the lanterns will be sent to the cemetery and placed on the graves of every deceased relative. When sending a lamp, it is lucky to light it first. People who send lanterns to graves must use their own matches when lighting them. If they borrow someone else's matches to light them, they think their ancestors can't see the light. When lighting a lamp, you should say: on the fifteenth day of the first month, send a lamp, send a gold lamp, send a silver lamp, and send an iron lamp. Some children's graves are bright, but there are no dark holes in front of them. Intentionally stealing a lamp, I stole a big iron lamp. My back couldn't move, it was cold and slippery, and the big cloth shirt burned a big hole. On the night of Lantern Festival, because every family sends lanterns, intersections and field cemeteries are brightly lit. The custom of sending lanterns is still preserved in the remote mountainous areas of Heilongjiang.

Rolling fairy

On April 14th of the lunar calendar, Suzhou has a unique custom of remote temple fairs. It is said that on Lv Zu's birthday, Lv Chunyang, one of the Eight Immortals, will become a beggar and a peddler to enlighten the world. Therefore, the citizens and farmers in the four townships should come to crush the immortals, so that they can use the spirit of the immortals to eliminate disasters and prevent diseases, prolong their lives, be lucky, and be safe all year round.

Lv Chunyang is one of the most influential Eight Immortals in folk beliefs. Taoism attaches great importance to alchemy. According to legend, Lv Chunyang made great contributions to medicine, so he was regarded as the founder of traditional Chinese medicine.

On the day of fairy rolling, there were many stalls near Shenxian Temple, and most of them sold flowers and saplings. Many flowers and plants have auspicious names, such as evergreen, reincarnation flower, immortal flower, African onion and so on. In the old custom, on the eve of the fairy's birthday, she cut off the thousand-year-old leaves and laid them on the road, so that all the immortals could pass by and get a touch of fairy spirit. To build a house, you have to put African onions on the beam as a good sign.

Green turtle symbolizes longevity: "money turtle", also known as "fairy turtle"; Mud master, a symbol of good luck; Drinking tea is also called "immortal tea", and shaving is also called "immortal head".
