The eighth day of the first month of the Lunar New Year in honor of Sakyamuni

The origin of Laha congee

The eighth day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, the people of our country have eaten Laha congee custom. It is said that Laha congee was introduced from India.

The founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, was the son of King Jinyi of Gavilavi country in the northern part of ancient India (in present-day Nepal), who, seeing that all beings suffered from the pains of birth, old age, sickness and death and being dissatisfied with the theocratic rule of the Brahmins at that time, gave up his throne and went out to cultivate his family. After six years of asceticism, he attained enlightenment and became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree on the eighth day of the waxing moon. During these six years of asceticism, he ate only one flax and one rice a day. The descendants did not forget his suffering and ate porridge on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year every year to commemorate him. "The eighth day of the eighth month of the Lunar New Year has become the "anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment". "Lapa" is a grand festival of Buddhism. Before the liberation of all over the Buddhist temples for the Buddha bath, held chanting, and follow the example of Sakyamuni before he became a Taoist, the shepherdess offered the legendary story of milk, with fragrant grain, fruit and other porridge for the Buddha, called "Lahai congee". And Laha congee will be given to the disciples and the good men and women, and then in the folk custom. It is said that in some monasteries, before the eighth day of the eighth month of the Lunar New Year, the monks holding the bowl, along the streets, will collect rice, chestnuts, dates, nuts and other materials into Laha congee distributed to the poor. Legend has it that after eating it, they can get the blessing of Buddha, so the poor people call it "Buddha congee". Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote a poem: "The Buddha's congee is given to each other today, and the festival in the village of Jiangcun is new." It is said that the famous Hangzhou Tianning Temple has a storage of leftovers in the "stacks of rice building," usually the temple monks every day to the leftovers of the sun, the accumulation of a year's surplus food, to the eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar into Lapa congee distributed to the believers, known as "Fukushou congee" and "Fudoku congee". "It means that after eating it, one can increase one's happiness and longevity. Visible at that time the monks of the temple to cherish the virtues of food.

Lapa congee in ancient times was cooked with red beans, glutinous rice, and then the material gradually increased. The Southern Song Dynasty, Zhou Mi wrote "Old Story of Wulin", said: "with walnuts, pine nuts, milk mushrooms, persimmon mushrooms, persimmon chestnuts and other types of congee, called 'Laha congee'. To date, the people of China's Jiangnan, northeast, northwest of the vast area still retains the custom of eating congee on the eighth day of the month, Guangdong area has been rare. The materials used vary, mostly with glutinous rice, red beans, dates, chestnuts, peanuts, white fruit, lotus seed lily and other sweet porridge. There are also added cinnamon, longan meat, candied fruit and other cooking. Winter eat a bowl of steaming congee, both delicious and nutritious, can indeed increase the blessing of life.

Lunar month 23

Food

Lunar month 23, also known as the "small year", is the day of the folk festival stove. There is a custom that "men don't worship the moon, women don't worship the stove", so the sacrifice of Zaowang is limited to men. Among the Chinese folk gods, Zao Shen is considered to be very old. Zaojun, in the Xia Dynasty, had already become a great god revered by the people. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court has also included Zao in its rituals, and the rules of Zao worship have become a regular ritual throughout the country.

On the 24th day of the Lunar New Year

Sweeping the house

After the Zaosai festival, preparations for the New Year began in earnest.

The word "broom" has been found in oracle bone inscriptions. On the Shang and Zhou bronzes unearthed in Shaanxi, there is an inscription that reads, "The son held a broom and made a sweeping motion". It can be seen that people used brooms to sweep thousands of years ago. The Book of Rites", there are "where inside and outside, the chicken first song, ...... sprinkler room and court" of the record. This shows that people in a long time ago knew that dirt and dust foam are related to the spread of disease. Zhou book, "secret mystery of the House" in the "ditch dredging, building clean, no filth, no plague," the record.

The Lv Duanfa said: "the year in addition to the day, beat the drum to drive away the plague ghosts, known as the removal, also known as the wood is difficult." Later, gradually evolved into the end of the year cleaning. To the Tang Dynasty, "sweep the year" style prevailed. Song - Wu Zimu "dream sorghum record" records: "December end, the day of the end of the common cloud month poor years, known as the night of the New Year, the common people, regardless of the size of the family, all sprinkled clean the door, to dust, net household, change the door god, hanging Zhong Kui, nail peach charm, sticker, to pray for the new year's peace." Qing * Gu Lu "Qing Jia Lu. December. Playing dust": "wax will be residual, choose Xianshu (refers to the calendar) should be swept house Yu day, to go to the dust and filth of the household, or in the twenty-third, twenty-fourth and twenty-seventh day, commonly known as playing dust." Qing * Cai Yun Shi "Wu Yu owes" poem said: "Thatched cottage spring things happy, house dust packing number in addition to the residue." "the age of trivia" said: "December 24th to sweep the house, where there is something to do, do not choose the constitutional book, more marriage, known as the mess silk day."

Anciently, the Spring Festival cleaning is called "sweeping the year", originated in ancient times, a religious rite of the people to drive out disease. Later gradually evolved into the end of the year cleaning. It is a traditional habit of our people. In the north, it is called "sweeping", and in the south, it is called "dusting". Households have to clean the environment, cleaning all kinds of appliances, dismantle and wash the bedding curtains, sprinkle clean the courtyard, dusting dust cobwebs, dredge the nullahs and ditches. For the north, the winter in the waxing moon sweeping room, just dust sweep only, and in the south will often tables, chairs and benches, and even large frame beds are lifted to the river, wells to scrub. After sweeping the room, the whole family will begin to organize New Year's goods, please incense wax paper code, offerings, write couplets, cut window, buy hanging money, New Year's paintings, firecrackers ...... north and south of the Yangtze River, everywhere overflowing with joy to engage in sanitation, clean to welcome the new year's atmosphere.

"Lunar month twenty-four, dust sweeping house" custom, has a long history. Also known as "dust, dust, dust, in addition to the residue, dust". According to "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals", China in the era of Yao and Shun, there is a Spring Festival dust sweeping custom. According to folklore: because the "dust" and "Chen" harmonized, the New Year dust sweeping has "in addition to the meaning of Chen Bu Xin", the intention is to put all the "poor luck ", "bad luck" are swept out. This custom is the desire of the people to break the old, and the prayer of the old and welcome the new.

Interestingly, the origin of the ancient dust sweeping, but there is a rather bizarre story.

Legend has it that the ancients believed that there was a three corpses god attached to every human being, who, like a shadow, followed one's whereabouts and was inseparable. The god of three corpses is a guy who likes flattery and loves to make a fuss, and he often spread rumors in front of the Jade Emperor, describing the earth as ugly and unappealing. Over time, in the Jade Emperor's impression, the earth was simply a dirty world full of sin. Once. The Three Corpses God secretly reported that the earth was cursing the Heavenly Emperor and wanted to plot against the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor was furious and sent down a decree to quickly find out what was going on on earth. Anyone who complained about the gods and blasphemed against them would have their crimes written under the eaves of their houses. The Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Ling Ling to cover them up with a web to mark them. Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Lingguan to go down to the world on New Year's Eve and kill all the people who had made the marks, leaving no one behind. The three corpses of God see this plan is about to succeed, take advantage of the opportunity to fly down to the mortal world, regardless of the green and black and white, viciously in the eaves and corners of each house to do the mark, so that the Wang Lingguan come to a kill all.

Just when the three corpses of the God in the evil, Zaojun found his whereabouts, alarmed, and hastened to find each family Zaowang master to discuss countermeasures. So, came up with a good way, on the twenty-third day of the waxing moon to send the date of the stove, to the New Year's Eve to receive the stove before, each family must be cleaned the house, which household is not clean, Zaosheng master refused to enter the house. We follow the instructions before the ascension of the King Zaowang, sweeping dust, dusting off cobwebs, wiping clean doors and windows, to clean their own homes to a new look. When Wang Lingguan was ordered to go down to the world to check on New Year's Eve, he found that the windows of every house were clear and bright, the lights were brilliant, and people were reunited with each other, which made the earth a beautiful place to live in. Wang Lingguan couldn't find any marks that indicated the bad deeds, and was very strange in his heart, so he rushed back to heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor about the peacefulness and happiness on earth and prayed for a New Year as desired. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was greatly shocked, and sent down an order to detain the three corpses of the God, ordered to slap his mouth 300 times, and detained him in the heavenly prison forever. This time, the earthly calamity was spared thanks to the rescue of the God of Zao. In order to be grateful to the king of the stove for people to get rid of the disaster, blessing Zhangxiang, so the folk dust always in the send stove after the start, until the busy New Year's Eve.

"Three corpses of God", Taoism said in the human body, "God". According to the "three corpses in the scripture", "the upper corpse Peng 倨, in the human head; the middle corpse Peng quality, in the human abdomen; the lower corpse Peng Jiao, in the human foot." It is also said that on the day of Gengshen, they would go up to heaven to tell the Emperor of Heaven about the sins of people; but as long as people stayed up all night on that day, they could avoid it, and it was called "guarding Gengshen".

Sweeping dust is also beneficial to people's living environment. According to scientific research, in places with high dust content, each cubic meter of air containing bacteria up to several million, in this environment, pneumonia, pharyngitis, lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, bronchial asthma and other morbidity are higher. Dust can absorb and refract the ultraviolet rays of the sun, when each cubic meter of air containing dust 1 mg, the ultraviolet light about 2 / 3, long-term living in this environment, children suffering from chondromalacia will significantly increase the opportunity.

In addition, cleaning, pay attention to wear masks, hats and glasses. Dust sweeping and then change clothes in time. The motherland medicine believes that after the spring climate warms, everything recovers, pests also began to sin. Therefore, rushing to clean up before the Spring Festival will help prevent infectious diseases and epidemics. Both good health, but also added to the festive atmosphere of the old and new.

The old custom is that after the God of the Stove goes up to heaven (Lunar New Year's Eve 23), the Jade Emperor himself comes down to the world on Lunar New Year's Eve 25 to investigate the good and evil on earth, and to decide on the coming year's misfortunes and misfortunes, so every family sacrifices to pray for blessings, which is called "receiving the Jade Emperor". On this day, we must be careful in our living and speaking, and strive for good performance in order to win the favor of the Jade Emperor and bring down blessings in the coming year.

Catching up with the chaotic year

Sending the God of the Stove to the sky until New Year's Eve before welcoming back, during which time there is no god on earth to govern, no taboos, and more marriages among the people, known as "catching up with the chaotic year". Messy year is the people designed for themselves to regulate the social life of a specific period of time. At the end of the year, people have leisure and savings, for people who usually have the energy to organize big events, this is a good time. Therefore, people invented this special time folklore according to the needs of real life. It can be seen that in traditional society, the order of people's life is dependent on folklore to regulate.

Shining the field silkworms

Also known as "burning the field silkworms", "Shining the field silkworms", "burning the field of money", is popular in the south of the Yangtze River belt of folk praying for the New Year customs. Lunar New Year 25 this day will be tied to the torch pole in the field, with the flame to divine the New Year, the flame is strong omen of a good harvest in the coming year.

Lunar 28

Lunar 28 to the surface of the hair

Most places in this day to catch up with the New Year's pasta steamed. Taiyuan people to steam "cake bun bun two colander"; Hebei people are "steamed jujube flower" ready for New Year's Eve ritual ancestors as offerings; Henan people are also "28, steamed buns fried Ohta." Only the Beijing people slow half a beat, in this day only "to the surface hair", wait until twenty-nine "steamed buns". （

One of the old Beijing rhymes about the Spring Festival:

Lunar New Year's Day:

Lunar New Year's Day: 23rd day of the Lunar New Year, sugar gourd is sticky;

Lunar New Year's Day: 24th day of the Lunar New Year, sweeping the house;

Lunar New Year's Day: 25th day of the Lunar New Year, frying the tofu;

Lunar New Year's Day: 26th day of the Lunar New Year, cooking the white meat;

Lunar New Year's Day: 27th day of the Lunar New Year, killing the rooster;

Lunar New Year's Day: 28th day of the Lunar New Year, sending the noodles

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, steamed buns are made;

On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, they stay up all night;

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they are twisted.

When I taught my children to read, I couldn't help but wonder how it was possible to say from the twenty-third day of the Lunar New Year to the first day of the Lunar New Year instead of from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Perhaps the anticipation of the holiday is more fun than the holiday itself? After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the free and easy holiday is one day less, while from the 23rd of Lunar New Year to the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the holiday is more and more enthusiastic day by day. So the days leading up to New Year's Eve can't be ignored.
