Time to burn the first incense during the Spring FestivalThe first incense does not refer to the first incense stick on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but refers to the incense burned from midnight when the old year turns to the new year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The incense burned in these two hours from midnight to 2 a.m. is called the first incense. The incense burned between midnight and 1 a.m. is called the first incense. The time for burning the first incense can be based on local time (such as Beijing time). It is best to go to a temple with a strong incense.There are many customs of burning incense among the people, one of which is the so-called burning of the first incense. The first incense is the first incense burner, especially the first incense burner of the New Year. Ordinary people believe that the first incense burner has the greatest merit and can gain the most blessings, so they often compete to burn the first incense burner. Although the first incense is burned in the early morning, believers have been waiting before midnight. If it is the first incense burning in the New Year (the first day of the first lunar month), pilgrims will usually be waiting long before midnight on New Year's Eve. In addition to burning the first incense stick, people in some places also have the custom of burning incense sticks at ten temples. On the morning of the first day of the new year, people would carry incense baskets and burn incense in ten surrounding temples. Its purpose is similar to burning the first incense. Spring Festival customs: New Year greetings New Year’s greetings are one of the traditional activities during the Chinese New Year. Welcome the new year in the morning and worship the "God of the Year". "Sui" is also known as "Sheti" and "Taisui", which is the name of a star in ancient times. Tai Sui is also a deity in folk beliefs. The year is based on the sixty-year cycle of the Ganzhi calendar, which has sixty zodiac signs in total. Every year, there is a Tai Sui on duty. The Tai Sui on duty for that year is called the "Yearly Tai Sui", the ruler of the year, in charge of the good and bad fortune of the world in that year. As stated in "Sanming Tonghui": "Taisui is the ruler of a year and the leader of all gods." New Year's greetings are the oldest traditional Chinese New Year custom. This ancient custom is still popular in Guangdong, especially in Wuchuan. On the first day of the New Year, when people bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, the traditional custom of welcoming the new year, worshiping the god of the year and receiving blessings has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. |
