Fried dumplings, dumplings wrapped around1February 15, until the 22nd, which is the time for us to pack up new year's goods. Every household sweeps the ceiling, washes curtains, changes bedding, cleans windows, and cleans tables and chairs. The house was cleaned. Twenty-three and twenty-four are good days for us Zhaoqing people to send the kitchen god to heaven. We have a saying here called "three officials, three people and four people", that is to say, on the 23rd, officials' families made cookies to worship the kitchen god, while ordinary people's families made cookies to worship the kitchen god on the 24th. Legend has it that Kitchen God has a sweet mouth after eating rice cakes. After ascension, he will speak well of us in front of the Jade Emperor and make our family happy and live a long life! After the 24 th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone will buy new year's goods, such as mushrooms, squid and other seafood products, and eat them at home during the New Year to entertain guests. There are melon seeds, candied lotus roots (Zhaoqing specialty), candied coconut horns and other preserved fruits, candy, peanuts and other things. On the 25th, it's time to prepare Chinese New Year's food: steamed brown (a specialty of Zhaoqing), poultry such as chickens and geese, and various vegetables. Twenty-seven, every household is ready to wrap steamed brown seeds. On this day, the whole family acts together. Mother put the winter leaves in the pot and cooked the bitter taste of the winter leaves. Then wash it several times with clear water and soak it in wooden barrels. The next day, I picked up the parcel and steamed it brown. In this way, the steamed brown meat will not be bitter, but will only be stained with the aroma of winter leaves. On this day, we should also soak the ground mung beans and remove the bean shells. The next day, prepare fresh pork and fry it with sesame seeds for later use. After the glutinous rice is washed, it can be wrapped in steamed brown. After the steamed brown is wrapped, put it in a large pot and cook it for 12 hours, so that the steamed brown with fragrant smell is ready. New Year's Eve is a good day for every family to celebrate the New Year. On this day, we killed chickens and geese, cooked some fish (meaning "leftover every year") and cooked a delicious soup. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the hostess at home prepared goose, pork, rice cakes, oranges and other things to worship the ancestors, praying for family reunion and happy life. Then, we made dinner. Around six o'clock, the whole family gathered for dinner, and the younger generation brought meals to the elders, which was also enjoyable. After dinner, everyone takes a bath, puts on new clothes, walks in the street and looks at lanterns. We call it "Universiade", which means that good luck and good luck will continue in the new year. Before twelve o'clock, everyone went home and prepared to set off firecrackers. Every family hangs a string of firecrackers at the door, and only when the New Year bell rings do they light firecrackers at the same time. At the first bell of twelve o'clock (also the first bell of the New Year), everyone lit firecrackers at the same time, only heard firecrackers, and the streets were filled with thick smoke. After the firecrackers, the hostess will burn lucky money, and the gold ingot will be connected with the god of wealth. It is said that they will make a fortune next year. Then, parents will give their children red envelopes as lucky money to pray for their children's peace and health in the new year. On New Year's Day, we Zhaoqing people don't pay New Year's greetings. This day is the most leisure day for people. No killing is allowed on this day, and all walks of life are closed. Everyone is resting at home, or going to the scenic spots to play and take pictures. In the countryside, on this day, the lion dance team in the village went out to pay a New Year call to each household. Everyone beats gongs and drums and dances lions. All the women and children in the village came to watch the lion dance, and the atmosphere was very warm. New Year's Day is the day when a year begins. On this day, the hostess of the family prepared chicken, steamed brown, glutinous rice balls and other things to worship the ancestors again, praying for all the best and a happy life this year. On this day, it is a good day for married women to return to their parents' home to pay New Year greetings. The daughter returned to her parents' home with her husband and children, steamed brown, chicken, sausage and fruit. The parents were very happy and quickly cooked a delicious meal for their daughter and son-in-law. On this day, the family got together happily and enjoyed family happiness. From the third day to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it is a day for relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings to each other. The younger generation buys gifts for their elders to celebrate the New Year, and their peers meet or have tea, or go out to get together. The seventh day is "People's Day", and a delicious reunion dinner is cooked at home (the married daughter on this day can't live in her parents' house, but in her husband's house or her own house). The next day, the eighth day, many people went to work. 15 is the Lantern Festival. Some of our shops let people solve riddles on lanterns. If you guess correctly, you will get a gift. Also, every household will cook jiaozi to taste, which means that the whole family is round and happy! After the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the Spring Festival is over, everyone goes to work, goes to school and enters the spring. "A year's plan lies in spring." At the beginning of the year, everyone was working hard, hoping to live a better life.
