What is the custom of Spring Festival in Sichuan?

One is "offering sacrifices to stoves" and "raising dust"

In Sichuan, the generalized "New Year" begins on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. In many places in China, there has always been a saying of "off-year". The northern off-year is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the southern off-year is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

However, Sichuan is an exception. In most areas, there is no concept of "Chinese New Year"-in some places, New Year's Eve is called "New Year's Eve" and Yuanxiao Night is called "New Year's Eve".

Second, prepare new year's goods

Bacon, braised pork, the most common is pork. In addition to normal meat, it also includes various parts of pigs, such as pig ears, pig tongues, pig trotters, pig tails, pig hearts, pig livers and so on. The more varieties, the better. In addition, there are preserved chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits, and there are relatively few beef and mutton.

Third, "league year" and "keeping year"

In the eyes of Sichuanese, although the period from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the Lantern Festival is "Chinese New Year" in a broad sense, the most important days are undoubtedly New Year's Eve and the first day. On New Year's Eve, the most important things are "reunion dinner" and "keeping the old age".

Four. "floating family"
