Northern Chinese New Year custom
Details are as follows:
1, the "roll" of Yuanxiao is a good sign.
In the north, there is a saying of "rolling" Yuanxiao, which means cutting the mixed and solidified stuffing into small pieces and throwing them into a basket full of glutinous rice flour to roll inside, which means a good start for the New Year!
The Spring Festival will be held in stick grilles.
Stick grilles is still very popular in the north. In Fengning, Hebei Province, if anyone doesn't live in the window grilles during the Spring Festival, people will guess whether something happened to this family, which shows that the north attaches importance to window grilles.
3. Eat, drink and visit temple fairs
Temple fairs in the north are generally held in festivals such as Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, and are also one of the forms of market trade in China. Now it has basically developed into the main place for eating, drinking and having fun in the New Year.
Step 4 watch the Spring Festival Gala
The Spring Festival Gala is indeed an important program on New Year's Eve, but with many southerners' reaction that the Spring Festival Gala is too strong in the north (which is also one of Uncle Benshan's contributions), and most southern TV stations make the Spring Festival Gala more lively and popular, there is a saying that "the North watches the Spring Festival Gala and the South watches the New Year's Eve", which is also a new custom in the new era.
5. Gourd and "Fulu" are blessed.
Gourd is definitely the "darling" of northerners for Chinese New Year. Candied haws, zucchini, jiaozi and golden gourd buns, because gourds symbolize blessings, besides eating, northern Renye Fang likes to play with and wear gourds ornaments.
Extended data:
In the north, some families will provide a pot of rice, which was cooked years ago and provided for China New Year. It's called "annual meal", which means that there are leftovers every year, which can't be eaten all year round, and this year we still eat the grain of the previous year. This bowl of New Year's Eve dinner is usually cooked with rice and millet. As the saying goes in Beijing, it is called "two rice" because it is yellow and white. This is called "golden rice with gold and silver, gold and silver everywhere".
In many places, cakes, melons and fruits are prepared to win a lucky one: eating dates (spring comes early), persimmons (all the best), almonds (gratifying), longevity fruit (immortal) and rice cakes (getting higher every year). On New Year's Eve, the family ate happily, talking and laughing.
