Shaoguan Nanxiong New Year's Eve custom

On New Year's Eve, we eat "Reunion Wine" at noon, cook it with day lily, eggs, fried tofu and yellow wine, and eat "Reunion Dinner" at night. Everyone who goes out will rush home for reunion to show happiness. After dinner, you should tie a plate of white rice filled with silver, a tube of chopsticks and a bunch of keys to symbolize all the best. Close the door in the afternoon 10. First of all, you should use fried soybeans and breakfast cereal to get to your door, shake a spoon to symbolize welcoming money into the door, and then stick red paper with the words "closed" between the two doors. After the door was closed, the whole family gathered for a vigil, opened the door at about one o'clock in the middle of the night, and "traveled" to Italy as announced. This custom was gradually abolished after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), but it still retains the habit of having a "reunion dinner" on New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Day, there are coriander, buckwheat head, garlic, fungus, yuba, winter bamboo shoots, leeks, daylily and so on. , all symbolize auspicious omen. Kill the chicken to make rich food on the second day of the lunar new year, and invite a new wife. Invite girls on the fourth day. The seventh day is Xie Nian, thanks to Kitchen God.

Festival that never sleeps-there are grand activities such as dragon dancing, lighting lions, playing dragons and lanterns, which are still popular today. In the past, there was another custom. If the woman has been married for more than two years and has no children, the woman's family will send two stolen cabbage flowers (symbolizing boys), two paper-tied lotus lanterns, commonly known as "cauliflower lanterns" and a Maitreya Buddha with many children, beating gongs and drums to the man's bridal chamber to wish him a son. If the child is born, the man will give Xie Deng to the woman. This custom has been abolished.

Tomb-Sweeping Day-Every household in urban and rural areas sweeps graves, repairs ancestral graves and pays homage to their ancestors. There is also the custom of making moxa and wrapping jiaozi. After the founding of New China, government officials organized cadres and students to visit the Martyrs Cemetery to mourn the revolutionary martyrs, and asked the older generation of revolutionaries to tell the great achievements of the revolutionary martyrs and carry out revolutionary traditional education.

Dragon Boat Festival-a major festival in Nanxiong, commonly known as "Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese New Year". On this day, every family makes zongzi and chickens kill ducks. There is a custom of rowing dragon boats in urban areas. In the urban area and Zhuji Lane, there are programs such as welcoming Mao boats and loading stories. Maochuan is made of Miscanthus, carried forward by one person, followed by a group of people. One person leads the crowd and sings the song of Mao Boat while walking (only Mao Boat is greeted in the urban area, and Mao Boat Song is not sung). There is also the Bodhisattva Ying Jun, from the fifth to the eighteenth day of May. Legend has it that the Prince and Bodhisattva are gods who banish the plague. Welcoming the Bodhisattva can banish disasters and reassure the people. & lt/b & gt；
