Offering sacrifices to stoves is a widely spread and influential custom among Chinese people. Legend has it that on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God will ascend to heaven and report the good and evil of this family for a year to the Jade Emperor. According to Kitchen God's report, the Jade Emperor will give the family the good and bad fortune they deserve in the new year to Kitchen God. The ceremony of sending the kitchen god is called "sending the kitchen" or "saying goodbye to the kitchen". People presented red candles and honeydew melons, and sent Kitchen God to heaven with solemn ceremony, hoping that Kitchen God would "speak well in heaven and be lucky in the next life". Today, this custom is still followed in many rural areas.
sweep the dust
"Twenty-four, cleaning day". To welcome the new, we must first get rid of the old. Dust removal is year-end cleaning, which is called "house cleaning" in the north and "dust removal" in the south. Sweeping dust before the Spring Festival is a traditional custom in our country. On the day of dusting, the whole family began to clean the house and yard together, scrub the pots and pans, dismantle and wash the bedding, and greet the New Year cleanly. In fact, people use the homonym of "dust" and "Chen" to express their willingness to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
paste up Spring Festival couplets
Sticking Spring Festival couplets is an activity during the Spring Festival, which has been very popular since the Song Dynasty. Every family has the custom of sticking Spring Festival couplets every year.
Spring Festival couplets, commonly known as "appropriate" and "Spring Post", are a kind of couplets. Because they are posted during the Spring Festival, they are called Spring Festival couplets. One source of Spring Festival couplets is Fu Tao. At first, people carved figures out of mahogany and hung them by the door to ward off evil spirits. Later, they painted the door god on the mahogany, simplified it and wrote the door god's name on the mahogany board. Another source of Spring Festival couplets is spring stickers. The ancients posted the word "Yichun" every day when they were in beginning of spring. The real popularity of Spring Festival couplets began in the Ming Dynasty, which was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's advocacy. According to historical records, one year before the Spring Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered every household to post a pair of Spring Festival couplets to celebrate. At first, Spring Festival couplets were carved on mahogany boards, and later rewritten on paper. The color of mahogany is red, which means good luck and avoiding evil spirits, so most Spring Festival couplets are written in red paper.
Stick the words of blessing backwards.
In our country, people often use the word "Fu" to express their yearning and pursuit for auspiciousness, wishful thinking and happiness. Whenever we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, every household should put the word "Fu" on the door, which means that we are blessed to enter the house. In many places, the word "Fu" is reversed, and the homonym of "Dao" and "Dao" is used to mean "Fu is here".
On new year's eve, watch the calendar year.
New Year's Eve refers to the evening of the last day of the year, which is connected with the Spring Festival from beginning to end. It is an important moment of "one night for two years, five hours for two years". "Except" means "going", and New Year's Eve means "the month is poor and the old year is exhausted", which means that the old year will be replaced by the new year next year. New Year's Eve is the first climax of the New Year's Festival. Shounian, commonly known as "Enduring the Year", begins with eating New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is the most intimate and warm family dinner in a year. At this time, people not only enjoy a table full of delicious food, but also enjoy deep affection and festive celebrations. After the New Year's Eve, except for the young children, the whole family began to observe the new year, saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year.
On New Year's Eve, our people will hold an annual stilt walking activity, that is, sesame stalks are stuck in the courtyard in the shape of gold ingots made of yellow paper rolls and stored in a bundle, which is called a "cornucopia". Then the whole family crushed it with their feet to make "old" and "broken" homophonic, and borrowed the auspicious meaning of sesame blossom to wish the family prosperity and express their wishes and prayers for the new year. Nowadays the custom of stepping on the age has been replaced by setting off firecrackers.
lucky money
On New Year's Eve, the elders should give the younger generation lucky money, also called lucky money. Because "old" and "treasure" are homophonic, elders hope that lucky money can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and protect children's safety. The lucky money has placed the ardent hope and deep concern of the elders for the younger generation.
Setting off firecrackers
There is a folk proverb in China. When the new year comes, the first thing for every household to open the door is to set off firecrackers, and to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with the sound of firecrackers. Setting off firecrackers is an entertainment activity of China Festival, which can bring happiness and good luck to people.
According to historical records, the earliest firecrackers were torches made of flammable materials such as bamboo poles. Because bamboo is abundant in the south of China, this custom first became popular in the south. When bamboo burns, the air in the bamboo joint expands, which makes the bamboo cavity burst and make a crackling sound, hence the name firecrackers. Around the Tang Dynasty, people put gunpowder in bamboo tubes and lit it. In the Song Dynasty, people generally used paper rolls filled with gunpowder instead of bamboo tubes, which is now firecrackers.
Pay new year's call
Paying New Year greetings is an important activity during the Spring Festival. Like the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, it is the Spring Festival custom that best reflects the "taste of the year". In the past, the order of family visiting New Year was to worship heaven and earth, ancestors and temples. Generally, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to their elders on the first day of the New Year's Day, wishing them happiness as the East China Sea and longevity as the South Mountain. After the New Year, the general rule is to worship family members on the first day, the Yue family on the second day and relatives on the third day. Students, colleagues, friends, collaborators and neighbors should also pay New Year greetings to each other. In the sound of "Happy New Year", the distance between hearts has been narrowed and the feelings between people have been enhanced. As the old saying goes, New Year greetings are "based on friendship and nostalgia".
stroll around the temple fair
Visiting temple fairs is the Spring Festival complex of most people in China, and it is also an indispensable custom. The temple fair in the Spring Festival was originally a folk religious ceremony. At temple fairs, monks and Taoists usually hold "ceremonies" or "Dojo" to offer sacrifices to gods and buddhas. People must also go on pilgrimage, make wishes, make wishes and seek blessings. During the temple fair, there were vendors selling and folk art performances. At the temple fair, there are many traditional activities with a long history that are deeply loved by ordinary people, such as lion dance, dragon dance, yangko, walking on stilts and boating.
Guanshehuo
In addition to temple fairs, folk self-entertainment and social fire are also long-standing annual entertainment activities. Social fire originated from the worship of land gods and fire gods in ancient times. Society, land god; The ancestor of fire, fire, is the legendary Vulcan. In China, which is famous for its farming culture, land is the foundation of people's foothold and lays a material foundation for human survival and development. Fire is the source of people's cooking and heating, and it is also an indispensable condition for human survival and development. The ancients thought that fire also had "spirit" with primitive thinking and worshipped it as a sacred object with special significance, thus forming the concept of respecting fire. The worship of land and fire in ancient times produced the custom of offering sacrifices to social fires. With the development of society, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to social fires has gradually become a grand, rich and diverse folk entertainment.
Chinese knotting
Chinese knots, also called coiled knots, are made of a red rope from beginning to end. China originated in ancient times, when there was no writing. In order to remember something, people tie different knots on a rope to show their memory. This is called "knotting notes". At that time, people used this method not only to remember important things in production and life, but also to express their love for young people. As a decorative art, Chinese knots give people a simple and auspicious impression. It contains a strong national flavor and elegant appearance, which not only embodies the mystery of ancient times, but also embodies the spirit of China people. Therefore, it soon became the object that people hung indoors or gave to each other during the Spring Festival. Beautiful modeling and antique charm add a peaceful atmosphere to traditional festivals.
These are some common customs of the Spring Festival in China. In fact, the customs of the provinces are not exactly the same:
Zhejiang Province

When you go out in the morning, you should follow the direction specified in the yellow calendar, which is called "Happy God". In order to burn incense in temples such as the City God Temple and the Land Temple, you must go through ten temples, which is the so-called "ten temples to burn incense". From New Year's Day to Lantern Festival, huge coal is burning in the stove, which is called "Happy Group". Legend has it that people in Zhuan 'an eat jiaozi, so they eat jiaozi every day from the early morning of the New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival. Women in Wujin County cut off pine and cypress branches on New Year's Day, wrapped them in red silk and put them on a bun. It is said that they can live longer.
Sichuan Province
People in Chengdu don't eat during the New Year, because "rice" and "sin" are homonyms. In order to avoid taboos, they eat glutinous rice balls or dried noodles to pray for family reunion and longevity. Liu Ge and other places will celebrate the "off-year" on the seventh day of the first month. Besides worshipping God and ancestors, they will also have a family reunion dinner. Chengdu people visit Du Fu Caotang in the western suburbs every day. On the first day of the Lunar New Year in Changshou County, nine candles are lit outside the door, which are called "nine-level candles" to respect heaven and earth.

The hostess holds a red candle to light up every corner of the room, which means to drive away the darkness with light, and then paste all kinds of window grilles made of flour on the windowsill. After getting up, the child has to climb the door and play three swings. It is said that they grow very fast. In some areas, cooking jiaozi with sesame stems means that the New Year rises like sesame blossoms, and steamed bread should be put in the pot after meals, which means there are "leftover heads". In the first year, the new wife in Jiaodong will go to her husband's grandparents' house to pay a New Year call, which is called "Zagen".

Old Beijing
There are many things in the twelfth lunar month.
Since the twelfth lunar month, there have been literati writing Spring Festival couplets under the eaves of shopping malls in an attempt to earn some money for the New Year. After the sacrifice, the new Spring Festival couplets were gradually posted, and thousands of families took on a new look. Some people use James Zhu, others use red paper, and only the imperial court and imperial clan princes use white paper with red and blue edges as the rules. Those who are not imperial clan shall not use them at will.
In the twelfth lunar month, plum blossoms are tied in a big-bellied and small-mouthed utensil and placed about five feet underground. When the fire warms the ground slightly, the plum blossoms will gradually turn white, put in paper cages and sell in the city. Momo, plum blossom and Spring Festival are also acceptable. Tents are set up and paintings are sold in prosperous areas. Women and children rushed to buy them for fun.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, porridge sellers lined up in the market on the street. There are even walnuts, persimmons, dates, chestnuts and dried water chestnuts, which are sold with baskets on their shoulders. Followed by fat pheasant, Guandong fish, wild cats, wild birds, bacon, iron finch, fruit cover, giant Buddha flower, Douguang Qianpian and Louzizhuang Yuanbao. After October of the lunar calendar, we sell Wei paintings, door gods, hanging money, gold and silver foil, yellow money, gold coins, burning paper, glass mirrors and windows. After the 20th, honeydew melons, sugar cakes, glutinous rice cakes and kwantung sugar will be sold. When the stove was delivered on the 23rd, Shenma was provided with copied beans with rotten grass. There are also kiln sellers, porcelain bowls, incense burners and candlesticks in Beijing. Stuffed gourd, children save money; Support the pot tile, and the furnace mouth is used as an aid. After 25th, sesame stalks, pine and cypress branches, atractylodes lancea, etc. are sold for "aging". The price and money in the twelfth lunar month are more expensive than usual, so there is a proverb that "the water and soil in the twelfth lunar month are three points more expensive". At this time, the old man always advised the younger generation to spend money carefully, so there was another proverb, "Twenty-seven or eight, take all the goods and catch them to the end."
There are also some ethnic minorities:
the Mongol nationality
During the Spring Festival, Mongolian people call it "New Year". Ancient Mongolian waiters regarded the Spring Festival as a "white festival". Nowadays, people call the first month of the lunar calendar "Bai Yue". It turns out that Mongols take "white" as auspicious. It is said that it is related to daily consumption of white milk, which means to congratulate the New Year and be lucky. Bai Yue is also a time for people to get together.
On the first day, early in the morning, men and women dressed in various costumes set foot on the horses that had already been built, and rushed to "Haote" (township) in groups of three and five, stringing together yurts one by one. First, kowtow to the elders, and then the host's son-in-law will toast the guests who come to string bags. It is customary to drink this toast every time, and some even sing and dance. Men and women take advantage of this opportunity to race horses, especially young men and women. Most of them have regarded the distance between "Hout" as the distance of competition and started chasing men and women.
right
On New Year's Eve, people put on gorgeous costumes, grotesque masks, and played music with suona, conch and drum, in pursuit of a grand and grand "dance meeting". The boys danced wildly and sang loudly, indicating that they would bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, exorcising evil spirits and reducing happiness. On the morning of the new year, women will pick "auspicious water" to wish good luck in the new year.
Miao ethnic group
Every New Year's Eve, when the Miao people in Xiangxi fry delicious bacon, prepare home-cooked dishes such as acid rain, and prepare steamed dumplings, it is time to have a "reunion dinner" with joy. But at this moment, the whole family can't come to the table to have a "reunion dinner". The host hangs lazy Ba Li branches, soaked rattan and calamus in front of the door to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Then the master put on his helmet and armor, copied a sharp shuttle mark in his hand, and hid himself in the corner of the gate, staring at the outside of the village. If a hungry beast rushes into the village and kills it with this meat-eating spear, the tiger will die and the wolf will die. If foreigners invade, use this spear of revenge to kill the enemy and drive him out of Miao village. If it is a friend of Miao nationality, the host happily runs out of the door, pulls his friend into the house, and has a friendly reunion dinner to celebrate New Year's Eve.
According to the elders of Miao people, Miao people used to live on the banks of the Yellow River, and were bullied, killed and driven away by foreigners, so they were forced to move to the mountains in western Hunan to nest and breed their children. But at ordinary times, in addition to being invaded by wild animals, there are also foreign invaders. On New Year's Eve, they often gather troops to sneak into Miao village, take away the wine and meat of Miao family for the New Year, kill innocent people of Miao family and burn down the newly-built thatched cottage of Miao family. Therefore, every night on New Year's Eve, Miao ancestors should be fully armed and heavily guarded to defend a happy New Year. Over the years, it has gradually evolved into a special custom, which has been passed down to this day and is full of distinctive features.
Yi ethnic group
Yi compatriots choose festivals according to the Yi calendar. Some people spend the Spring Festival with the local Han people. In some areas, Yi compatriots set up pine trees in front of their doors and paved the ground with pine needles to avoid disasters. Others kill pigs and sheep in festivals, visit each other and give each other meat. In the morning of the first day of junior high school, the first thing to do when getting up is to carry water home. A bowl of water is compared with yesterday's water, such as the water for the New Year, which means that there is enough rain this year.
Zhuang people
On New Year's Eve, we have to prepare the rice we eat on the festival day, which is called "New Year's Rice", which indicates a bumper agricultural harvest in the coming year. On the first morning, people got up before dawn, put on new clothes and set off firecrackers. Women compete to "draw water from the river" and start a boiling life in the new year.
Cloth (BY)
On New Year's Eve, the whole family stayed up all night by the pond. At dawn, the girls scrambled to fetch water. Whoever picks the first load of water first is the hardest-working and happiest girl.
Tujia nationality
Tujia people will hold a grand swing dance, which is an ancient dance popular in Tujia people, including hunting, military, farming, banquets and other more than 70 dance moves, with distinct rhythm and beautiful movements.
The custom of Lantern Festival is relatively simple:
eat yuanxiao
Eating Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, as a kind of food, has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, a novel Lantern Festival food was popular among the people. This kind of food was originally called "Floating Zi Yuan", later called "Yuanxiao", and merchants also called it "Yuanbao". Yuanxiao, or "Tangyuan", contains sugar, roses, sesame seeds, red bean paste, cinnamon bark, walnut kernel, nuts, jujube paste and so on. And wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a circle, you can be vegetarian and have different flavors. It can be boiled, fried and steamed, which means happy reunion. Jiaozi, Shaanxi is not wrapped, but "rolled" in glutinous rice flour, or boiled or fried, warm and round.
Look at the lights.
During the Yong Ping period of Han Dynasty (AD 58-75), when Ming Chengzu advocated Buddhism, it happened that Cai Cheng returned from India to seek Buddhism, saying that it was the fifteenth day of the first month of Mohato, India, and the monks gathered to pay tribute to the relics, which was an auspicious day to participate in Buddhism. In order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Hanming ordered "burning lamps to show Buddha" in palaces and temples on the fifteenth night of the first month. Since then, the custom of putting lights on the Lantern Festival has spread from being held only in the court to the people. That is, on the fifteenth day of the first month, both the gentry and the people hang up lights, and the urban and rural areas are brightly lit all night.
The custom of setting off lanterns during the Lantern Festival developed into an unprecedented lantern market in the Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an, the capital at that time, was already the largest city with a population of one million in the world, and its society was rich. Under the personal initiative of the emperor, the Lantern Festival became more and more luxurious. After the middle Tang Dynasty, it has developed into a national carnival. In the prosperous period of the Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan (685-762 AD), the lantern market in Chang 'an was very large, with 50,000 lanterns and all kinds of lanterns. The emperor ordered 20 giant lantern buildings with a height of 150 feet, resplendent and magnificent.
The Lantern Festival in Song Dynasty is superior to that in Tang Dynasty in scale and dreamy lighting, with more folk activities and stronger national characteristics. Since then, the Lantern Festival has continued to develop and the time of the Lantern Festival has become longer and longer. The Lantern Festival in Tang Dynasty is "the day before and after Shangyuan". In the Song Dynasty, two days were added after the 16th, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was extended from the 8th to 18th to ten days.
In the Qing Dynasty, Manchu entered the Central Plains, and the court no longer held lantern festivals, but the folk lantern festivals were still spectacular. The date was shortened to five days and continues to this day.
In Taiwan Province Province, lanterns have the meaning of light and elegance, and lighting them means lighting up the future. The homonym of Taiwan Province Lantern and En stands for having a boy. So in the past, women would deliberately wander under lanterns, hoping to "drill under lanterns to lay eggs" (that is, swim under lanterns to give birth to boys).
Qixi Festival
Lantern Festival is also a romantic festival. In the feudal traditional society, Lantern Festival also provides unmarried men and women with opportunities to get to know each other. In traditional society, young girls are not allowed to go out freely, but they can go out to play together on holidays. Lantern Festival lanterns are just an opportunity to make friends, and unmarried men and women can also find their own partners by the way. During the Lantern Festival, it is also the time for young men and women to meet their lovers.
In Taiwan Province Province, there is also a traditional custom that unmarried women who steal onions or vegetables at midnight will marry a good husband, commonly known as "stealing onions and marrying a good wife" and "stealing vegetables and marrying a good husband". I hope that a girl with a happy marriage will steal onions or vegetables in the garden at midnight snack, hoping to have a happy family in the future. There are hundreds of dances and performances in the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and there are thousands of maids.
Ouyang Xiu (health inspector) said: Last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was lit like a book; The moon rose to the willow tree, and he met me at dusk. Xin Qiji (jade case) wrote: Many people looked for it and suddenly looked back, and that person was in the dim light. It is a scene describing midnight snack, while the traditional opera Chen San and Wu Niang met at the Lantern Festival and fell in love at first sight. In the second episode of "Nightingale", Lechang official and Xu Deyan made love at the Lantern Festival, and in "Spring Lantern Enigma", they made love with ying niang at the Lantern Festival. So the Lantern Festival is also China's "Valentine's Day".
Walking sickness
Besides celebrating the Lantern Festival, there are also religious activities. That is to say, most of the participants in "taking all kinds of diseases", also known as "baking all kinds of diseases" and "spreading all kinds of diseases" are women. They walk together or against the wall, or cross the bridge through the suburbs, in order to drive away diseases and eliminate disasters.
As time goes by, there are more and more activities for the Lantern Festival. In many places, activities such as playing dragon lanterns, playing lions, walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing yangko and playing Taiping drums were also added during the festival.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, some little-known folk activities have been lost. Here are two or three.
In ancient times, there were "seven sacrifices" at the sacrificial gate and the sacrificial households, which were two of them. The method of sacrifice is very simple. Put poplar branches above the door, put a pair of chopsticks in a bowl filled with bean porridge, or put wine and meat directly in front of the door.
Mouse chase
This activity is mainly aimed at sericulture families. Because mice often eat silkworms in large areas at night, it is said that they can stop eating silkworms by feeding them rice porridge on the fifteenth day of the first month. As a result, these people cooked a large pot of sticky porridge on the fifteenth day of the first month, and some even covered it with a layer of meat. They put porridge in a bowl and put it on the ceiling, corner and mouth where mice haunt, cursing that mice will not die a natural death if they eat silkworm babies again.
Yingzigu
Zi Gu is a kind and poor girl in folklore. On the fifteenth day of the first month, Zi Gu died of poverty. People sympathize with her and miss her. In some places, it is convenient to have the custom of "welcoming the daughter-in-law on the fifteenth day of the first month". Every night, people tie a life-size portrait of purple aunt with straw and cloth heads. Women have stood beside the toilet, pigsty and kitchen where Zigu often works to meet her, holding her hand like sisters, telling her sweet words and comforting her with tears. This scene is very vivid and truly reflects the thoughts and feelings of the working people who are kind, honest and sympathetic to the weak.
As for folk songs, there are many, but I feel the following are the best:
1, the first month is right, everything is new, Spring Festival couplets are posted, and new clothes are worn. Eat jiaozi, set off firecrackers, pay New Year greetings and be polite. Respect for the elderly and love for the young are praised, but don't waste the lucky money.
The fifteenth day of the first month is a small year, and the Lantern Festival celebrates reunion. Watching flower lanterns and solving riddles on lanterns are all prepared for the New Year. One year's plan lies in spring, and the year after next is new.

On March 3, 6, the warm wind was blowing gently and kites were flying all over the sky. On March 3, the flowers bloom brilliantly, and the wind blows peaches and plums more brightly.
In July and April, after Tomb-Sweeping Day, there were not enough outings. Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is advisable to offer sacrifices to sweep, which will add trouble to the fallen flowers. Some people are sad because of spring injury, and it is difficult for a thousand dollars to buy an inch of time. Jie Zhi pushed the fire, and Tomb-Sweeping Day began to eat cold food.
On May 5th, it was Duanyang, and Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River. Pack jiaozi for the dragon boat race, remember this custom. Eating fried cakes, embroidering sachets, hanging mugwort leaves, and drinking realgar have remedies for exorcising evil spirits and removing filth, and hygiene habits are talked about every day.
