What are the customs in Northeast China?

The customs in Northeast China are: buying new year's goods, offering sacrifices to stoves, sweeping dust, and starting to light lights, in stick grilles.

1, do new year's goods

Celebrating the Spring Festival is an important activity for China people. Moreover, the purchase of new year's goods includes food, clothing, clothing, use, stickers (New Year's Eve) and gifts, which are collectively called "new year's goods", and the process of buying new year's goods is called "new year's goods".

Step 2 sacrifice the stove

The folk sacrificial furnace originated from the ancient custom of worshipping fire. For example, "Ming Shi" said: "One stove also makes food." Kitchen God's duty is to take charge of the kitchen fire and manage the diet. Later, it was expanded to investigate human good and evil to reduce good and evil. Sacrificing stoves has a history of thousands of years in China, and the belief in kitchen gods is a reflection of China people's dream of "adequate food and clothing".

Step 3 clean the dust

In the folk, there is a custom of sweeping the dust (also called sweeping the house) on New Year's Eve on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. The folk proverb says "Twenty-four, sweep the house". Folk call it "Dust Day".

4. amazing lighting

Frightened, the farmer lit a lamp in the dark and evacuated the house and damp and dark corners with lime. The children lit firecrackers and threw them under the wall in the corner, shouting "cold stings frighten insects and ants to jump straight."

5. stick grilles

Stick grilles is an ancient traditional festival custom. During the Spring Festival, people in many places in China like to stick various paper-cut window grilles on their windows. Window grilles not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also bring people beautiful enjoyment.
