What are the customs and traditions of the Spring Festival in Anhui?

1, the first course should be "harmonious food"

Harmonious dishes, happy dishes, eight-treasure dishes, jiaozi with chicken skin and chicken fish are the necessary dishes for Hefei people's traditional New Year's Eve dinner. The first course is a harmonious one.

The practice of "harmonious dishes" is very simple. Tofu fruit is shredded, and shredded pork, day lily and fungus are fried together, which means harmony and beauty. "Anlecai" is a kind of wild vegetable, the scientific name is Portulaca oleracea, which is fried with meat after drying, but now Portulaca oleracea is rare, and many people use dried plums instead.

2. Fried dumplings and "eight-treasure dishes" are usually cooked from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. "Babao cuisine is fried with eight kinds of ingredients such as diced bacon, soybeans and garlic. This dish can be put very well. " Niu Yun said that in Hefei people's New Year's Eve dinner, chicken stands for "good luck", fish stands for "more than every year", chicken skin jiaozi stands for "gold ingot" and fans symbolize "money-oriented".

People begin to prepare for the Spring Festival from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. You also need to steam steamed bread and fry all kinds of small cakes. After the first pot of steamed bread is baked, firecrackers should be set off to worship the kitchen god. Have a reunion dinner at noon on New Year's Eve, and set off a string of firecrackers before dinner. The food is quite abundant, but you don't have to eat rice or porridge. Dinner is simple, just have some noodles or Yuanxiao. After dinner, I began to pinch flat food, and the whole family would cook it.

Flat food is a vegetarian stuffing for breakfast on the first day of the lunar new year. Mainly vegetables, broken eggs, vermicelli, randomly put some coins in the bag, one yuan, ten cents, fifty cents. After eating the flat food, a family member will voluntarily "keep watch". Whoever eats a flat food with coins for breakfast on the first day of junior high school means that he is prosperous in this year. The bigger the face value of coins, the more money he earns.

4. After getting up early in the morning on New Year's Day, you should set off firecrackers when you open the door, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, which is called the door god in some places. Family members pay New Year greetings together, congratulate each other, eat dates, chestnuts, tea, eggs and longevity noodles, and then go out to pay New Year greetings to other elders.

5. Don't sweep the floor on the first day, and pour the tea in a specially prepared basin, which means not to sweep (spill) money. Generally speaking, there is no work on this day, so there is a saying that you will spend 30 nights in a hurry and the first day in a leisurely way.
