? Spring Festival folk customs?

? The first one is to sweep the dust and get rid of the old?

The tradition in most places is to sweep the dust on the 24th day of the Lunar New Year, but the custom in our hometown is to sweep the dust as long as it's after the Dahan Festival. Potholes in the house can be worked on, and corners inside and out are cleaned up. It usually takes most of the day's work to finish cleaning, which means that the year's bad luck and bad luck are cleaned up, and the next year is a year of good luck.

? Second, do the New Year's goods, buy new clothes?

Customs in our hometown, each town has an agreed fixed market day. Some places are one forty-seven, some are two fifty-eight, and some are three sixty-nine. Our town is a four seven, that is, whenever the end of the lunar calendar is a four seven days, vendors will go to the market stalls, and everyone is also in these days to catch the market, we call it "Fengchang". The twenty-first, twenty-fourth and twenty-seventh days of the Lunar New Year are the busiest and most crowded times of the year. Everyone chooses these days to buy new year's goods, and the streets are crowded with people.

When I was a kid, I was most happy to go to the market, although I had to get up before dawn and walk for more than an hour, but I could go to buy clothes, and if I was lucky, I could ask for change to buy snacks and toys, so that I could look good in front of my peers at New Year's.

? Third, sticking spring couplets and hanging lanterns?

When you clean the house, you have to start dressing up. Spring Festival couplets are pasted on, and big red lanterns are hung, the atmosphere of the New Year will come up at once. Sometimes you can buy gold color spring scrolls, and you can rub the gold powder on them on your face and pretend that you've painted yourself a beautiful makeup, and kids will compare whose spring scrolls look the best and are the most fashionable.

? Fourth, making tofu, steaming mash and deep-frying deep-fried noodle cakes?

The day before New Year's Eve, neighbors started to prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. Every family starts to make tofu, which we also call "tofu-making". Home-grown soybeans are soaked and ground into soy milk, which is then mixed with a small amount of gypsum powder and water, and finally turned into tofu. At this point, you can have a bowl of the original bean curd, add a spoonful of sugar to suppress the soybean smell, and the aftertaste will be endless.

Another thing you need to prepare is mash, a large pot of steamed bulgur rice, and then add the fermentation of wine curd, and finally turned into a soft and delicious mash. You can cook mash dumplings or eat them on their own. The boiled mash soup can be kept for two to three days, and a bowl of cold soup after snacking on a dry mouth is simply more delicious than any drink.

The last one is deep-fried noodle cake, which is also called "down-frying". In addition to deep-fried noodle cakes, deep-fried tofu, deep-fried meatballs, and deep-fried pork ribs are also popular. The process of deep-fried noodle cake is complicated, with many ingredients, slow flour development, and the need for several people to work together, which sometimes makes the family busy until late at night.

The deep-fried noodle cake is a kind of traditional Chinese snack food. V. Respecting the Elderly?

On New Year's Eve, families began to get busy early in the morning, have set up a large pot to cook on the pig's head and pig tails, boiled to start honoring the elderly. Put the boiled pig's head and pig's tail under the family god's tablet, every door should be burnt with incense and paper money, as well as the god of the stove and the god of the land should be burnt with incense and paper, and then a long string of firecrackers should be set off.

After honoring the old man, the pig's head and tail will be processed back to the end of the pig's head, the pig's head above all the bones removed, my favorite thing as a child is to like to stand next to watch my father sort out the pig's head, so that the best walnut meat can be given to me to eat. Then you will take a pig's teeth to clean and wear up to the children to bring, pray for peace and health.

? Sixth, the reunion dinner?

The dinner table must be less fish, symbolizing the year. Before eating the reunion dinner should also "honor the old", set up a large table of rich meals and chopsticks, ready to drink. Then, they burn incense and paper money, and invite all the gods and deceased relatives to join them for the New Year's Eve dinner. After honoring the elders, it's time to eat.

After the meal, the family dog is given a little rice, tofu and meat, and whichever the dog eats first will mean a higher price in the new year. They also cut an opening in their fruit trees with an axe and pour the rice on it. They pray that they will blossom and bear fruit in the new year and not be destroyed by insects, ants and birds.

? VII. Going to the grave?

After the reunion dinner and a little rest, the next item - visiting the graves - begins. Bringing money, incense and firecrackers, we pay our respects to our deceased relatives and pray for their blessings for a safe, healthy and prosperous new year. Often, the whole family has to go from one hill to another.

? Eight, pressure money?

The graveyard back to the general are almost dark, after dinner to the small children are most looking forward to the pressure money link. This link is more fancy, usually the value of the various currency bills on one side, the younger generation have to perform talent, not confined to a variety of forms, as long as you can make the elders happy, you can go to receive the New Year's Eve money, the main thing is to figure the elders happy.
