Pay attention to ancient traditions

"Twenty-three honeydew melon sticks, twenty-four house sweeps, twenty-five grinding bean curd, twenty-six meat cuts, twenty-seven butcher cocks, twenty-eight breads, twenty-nine steamed buns, thirty food taken late at night, and a twist on New Year's Day.

"

The above songs about the twelfth lunar month have been heard by friends in many areas in the north and south. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the first day of the first lunar month, everyone is busy celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

And what needs to be done every day, people also use their own experience and combine traditional culture to sum up the above songs.

Today is 65438+ 10 month 15, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. According to the above statement, it is the day to clean the house.

There are two reasons for choosing the twelfth lunar month to sweep the house.

The first way, sweeping the house is also called "sweeping the dust".

"Dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, and Chen stands for old age.

Therefore, on the 24th day, by cleaning the house at home, cleaning the dust at home means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new year with a brand-new look.

There is also a saying that the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month are the days when family gods report good news to heaven. Usually taboo, dare not clean up carefully. While reporting their work, they can carefully tidy up their homes, even if the dust is very heavy, and they don't have to worry about offending the family gods.

But when cleaning the room, there are also some folk sayings that some things in the room should not be tampered with. If they are tampered with, their luck may be affected and even bad things may happen.

There is also a saying in agricultural proverbs that "if you sweep the house, you will not be poor in the coming year"

Some friends will ask, "four things don't move" means which four things can't move? In this article, the author will talk about it in detail, and everyone will have an answer after reading it.

First, the stove can't move.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the north is the festival of offering sacrifices to stoves, while the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month in the south is the festival of offering sacrifices to stoves, which means offering sacrifices to stoves. The duty of the kitchen god is to take charge of the kitchen fire and manage the diet, which is closely related to the kitchen.

According to the folk saying, on the Kitchen God's Day, the Kitchen God will "speak good words from heaven" and come back to meet the Kitchen God. Everyone hopes for "peace in the lower world".

If you move the stove in the process of the kitchen god going to heaven, you can't find the "position" and you can't protect your family.

Therefore, you can't tamper with the position of the stove. However, normal cleaning is no problem. Some stoves on the stove have been used for a year and need cleaning. On the one hand, you look good. On the other hand, when the chef comes back and sees a brand-new stove, it will bring good luck to your home. This is a beautiful wish.

Second, the location of the shrine cannot be moved.

In many families, some shrines, such as the god of wealth and Guanyin, will be placed in the middle of the hall or in the living room. Their position is special and cannot be easily changed.

According to the folk saying, the longer the shrine is placed at home, the more spiritual it becomes. In the words of the old man, it will be easier to realize the wishes made every year.

I have seen some shrines that have been kept at home for twenty or thirty years. They look worn out, but they just don't change.

If you change your position at will, or in the wrong direction, it will affect the feng shui at home, and then destroy the original wealth.

When sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, you can wipe the dust off the shrine or pick it up and clean it. However, it must be put back in its original position, and the direction cannot be wrong.

Don't move, don't move, don't change places and so on. It's easy except for the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Third, the position of the bed cannot be moved.

The bed plays an important role in the family. People have to lie in bed every day and take on very important responsibilities.

Under normal circumstances, the placement of the bed can not be arbitrary, and the orientation of the head and feet will be certain according to the layout of the house. After the bed is put away, it basically won't move.

According to the folk saying, if the bed is stable, the fate of the family will be stable, and the stability of fate indicates the stability of fortune. Therefore, don't move the bed easily, so as not to affect your destiny and fortune.

However, there is also a lot of rubbish under the bed. When sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it is a place that needs cleaning. According to the above statement, the bed can't move. How to clean it? The first method is to find some longer sticks or other longer tools, tie the broom to it and reach under the bed to clean it.

The second method is to move the bed to one side, clean it under the bed and then restore it to its original position.

Fourth, the lines can't move.

As the old saying goes, "Don't panic if you have food at home." Many families still have food holes at home, or a room dedicated to storing food.

Pay attention to the word "stable". The more food at home, the better. The more stable the annual grain output, the better. Do not have the phenomenon of high annual output and low annual output.

If food is pulled out during house cleaning on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it means high liquidity and "instability". By the second year, the crop yield may not be high, which farmers' friends don't want to see.

Therefore, the food at home can't be moved. When sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, don't move as long as it doesn't get in the way. It's the Spring Festival. If you want to sell some, you can sell some. If you don't want to sell it, you can keep it for yourself.

Seeing this, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the sentence "Sweep the house four times in the coming year" when sweeping the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Some people say that all the above are old sayings, which are no longer applicable to today's society.

Others say that since these traditional cultures can be passed down to the present, they have the meaning of existence and should be observed.
