Spring Festival is one of the important festivals handed down from ancient times, and it is a very meaningful festival. Spring Festival is a good day for family reunion, full of excitement. The following is the related content of the traditional Spring Festival etiquette I have carefully prepared, hoping to help everyone.
Traditional Festival Etiquette of the Spring Festival 1 The Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and many countries in Asia also have this custom. The Spring Festival was originally called New Year's Day and January 1st, and the first day of the first lunar month is the first of all festivals in China. China people's New Year etiquette is very complicated. As soon as we enter the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger day by day. There is a folk proverb: wax drums sound, spring grass grows. In order to pray for longevity and good fortune and avoid disasters, the villagers beat drums, put on masks and danced in the King Kong style to pray for peace.
Since the Song Dynasty, eating Laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month has become a custom. It is said that Laba porridge was spread from temples to the people. Before becoming a Buddha, Sakyamuni traveled around and fainted from hunger. A shepherdess saved her life with whole grains, making her full of energy and immortal. This day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so it is a habit. Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, millet, adzuki bean and peeled jujube paste. Then add walnut kernel, almond, melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and raisins for spot dyeing. So far, this custom has not been abolished, but the raw materials in porridge have changed a little. After drinking Laba porridge, arrange a day to sweep the dust. Generally, before leaving the kitchen, every household should clean the house inside and outside, and wash the furniture and clothes to show the old and the new. The stove was delivered on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. In ancient times, on this night, there was a folk custom of sending the kitchen god.
In the provinces of the Yellow River basin, some honeydew melons are used to send stoves, and some water grass beans are also prepared. It is said that honeydew melon is for the kitchen god, and water grass beans are for the kitchen god's horse. After the sacrifice, Kitchen God was invited to incinerate with Qiankuai and New Year's Day, and then returned to the kitchen to offer sacrifices on New Year's Eve. Sending stoves is also called off-year in some places, setting off firecrackers. It is a custom to eat jiaozi and rice cakes. New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, is on the last day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, every household will set up a table of heaven and earth to worship ancestors and gods, and post New Year pictures indoors (mostly in the bedroom). Most of them are four beautiful pictures and some stories of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, with Yangjiabu in Weifang, Shandong, Taohuawu in Jiangsu and Yangliuqing in Tianjin as the best. Put couplets on the gate and money on the lintel. On New Year's Eve, every family stays awake. At 0: 00 in the evening, parents erected a new statue of Kitchen God and put some tributes in front of it, which meant that Kitchen God was taken down from the sky. Until now, this custom still exists in many places.
Keeping New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve are important contents of the Spring Festival. At 0: 00, firecrackers sounded, jiaozi or glutinous rice balls were scalded with boiling water, and the whole family called in the old year and welcomed the new. At present, every household in our country is sitting in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala and taste the wine, which has formed a new custom of the Spring Festival. Before and after the Spring Festival, social organizations usually hold Spring Festival receptions, group meetings, receptions, and also visit old comrades. Folk people living in other places have also put down their jobs and rushed back to their parents to enjoy family happiness. After New Year's Eve, people greet each other when they meet, commonly known as New Year's greetings.
Traditional Festival Etiquette of the Spring Festival 2. New Year greeting etiquette
Shounian: On New Year's Eve, the whole family lights up and stays up late to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, commonly known as Shounian. There are many activities, such as eating and playing games. On New Year's Eve, the descendants of China people still attach great importance to staying up late with their families, getting together for drinking and enjoying family happiness, which is a custom. After the first cock crow, the new year began. Men, women and children wear holiday clothes. First, they celebrate the New Year's birthday for their elders. Then they visit their relatives and friends and congratulate each other.
Remember, when observing the Lunar New Year, entertainment should be moderate. On New Year's Eve, friends and relatives get together to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and playing cards and mahjong is enjoyable, which often breaks the established life rules of the elderly and is not good for their health. If all-night entertainment is more harmful, it will often make the cerebral cortex excessively excited, leading to insomnia, mental stress and high blood pressure.
Secondly, don't say unlucky things, especially for the elderly at home, which is very taboo.
Second, New Year greetings etiquette.
Pay attention to dressing neatly in New Year's greetings. Put on some good clothes properly, giving people a festive beauty. Pay attention to the standardization of address. The timing of New Year's greetings should be appropriate. If necessary, you can notify the host first to avoid running empty. If you don't plan to eat, the best time is 9 am to 1 1.
It is necessary to know the names of elders and peers you may meet in advance to avoid embarrassing scenes and making people feel impolite. Geely's words should be said appropriately. There should be different greetings to different people. When talking, choose a topic that is pleasant to both sides, and don't bring up sad things. Don't talk too much, talk nonsense, the argument is too fierce. We should express our true feelings and wishes in a relaxed, pleasant, cordial and natural atmosphere. Manners and gestures should be civilized.
Third, the Spring Festival dining etiquette
We often visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, so knowing proper table manners can make you leave a good impression on others. First of all, speaking humorously at the dinner table can show a person's talent, common sense, cultivation and communication etiquette. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on others, especially the Spring Festival is a cheerful festival.
Secondly, some people always try their best to persuade others to drink more. "Talk about heroes with wine" is ok for people who drink a lot, but it is difficult for people who drink less. Sometimes, excessive persuasion will destroy the feelings of original friends. Also, when making a toast, you should prioritize. In general, toasts should be made according to age and position.
Fourth, hospitality etiquette
Hospitality is divided into basic links such as welcoming guests, offering cigarettes, offering tea and seeing off. Before the Spring Festival customers come, we should clean the door in advance to meet the guests and prepare tea sets, smoking utensils and drinks. They can also prepare fruits, sugar, coffee and so on. According to their family conditions. When the guests arrive at the appointed time, they should go out to meet them in advance.
Guests should be warmly received when they go home. First, ask the guests to sit down, and then offer tea, cigarettes and sweets. When serving tea and meals, you should use your hands to peel the sugar paper and skin the guests. Smoking is a custom of entertaining guests in modern families in China, and it is a etiquette that can't be ignored when entertaining guests. In addition, female guests are generally not given cigarettes. Serving tea is also one of the important etiquette for hospitality.
Wash the tea set before serving tea. When pouring tea, you should master the amount of tea. As the saying goes, hospitality should be "light tea and full wine". The so-called weak tea is to pour two-thirds of the tea leaves into a cup. When you serve tea, you usually hold the ear of the cup in one hand and the bottom of the cup in the other, and serve tea to the guests.
When guests leave, they should generally be polite. If the guest wants to leave, wait for the guest to get up and send him away. When a guest says he wants to leave, the host should not stand up at once. Some guests often bring gifts, so you should respond when you send them away, such as expressing gratitude, asking guests not to bring gifts in the future, or thanking some gifts accordingly. Don't be indifferent.
Five, the Spring Festival gift etiquette
Giving gifts during the Spring Festival has also become a big headache for people in the workplace. When giving gifts, gifts are too expensive, which undoubtedly increases your financial burden. Gifts are too cheap to buy. You don't give gifts, others are giving gifts. If you don't give it to them yourself, I'm afraid you won't get a raise or promotion next year. In fact, gift-giving is also a science. If you don't master the temperature well, it will not only waste people and money, but also be counterproductive.
1, giving gifts to colleagues
Giving gifts to colleagues is very simple. Give him some native products of his hometown, give her a beautiful hairpin and prepare a beautiful scarf for his baby daughter. In a word, every gift you carefully prepare will help you win the most popular prize in the office.
2. Give your boss a gift
Giving gifts to the boss is usually divided into three situations: one is to sincerely thank the boss and deepen feelings; Second, there is suspicion of flattering the boss; Third, there are demands and obvious intentions. Either way, if you have decided to give your boss a gift, you should choose an unusual gift according to his needs and personal hobbies. For example, a female boss who loves beauty can send a beauty salon card or a fitness card such as yoga.
Step 3 give gifts to customers
Gifts for customers should have highlights. If gifts can be bought by customers everywhere, it is difficult to reflect the company's unique care for customers and try to send exclusive gifts to its own enterprises. For example, Pu 'er tea gift boxes with company names and greetings, paper-cut artworks with local characteristics or commemorative collector's edition stamp albums. When always giving gifts to customers, we must make customers feel that the giver is not only attentive, but also has extraordinary taste, thus winning customers' goodwill towards the enterprise.
