Where did the custom of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month originate?On the 26th and 27th of the twelfth lunar month, meat for the New Year's meal is prepared. On the 28th, it is time to prepare pasta.In the past, social development was underdeveloped and there was no modern convenient yeast powder. Ordinary noodles would easily go bad if prepared a few days in advance, but leavened noodles would not go bad easily. So, the noodles would be leavened on the 28th day to prepare the staple food for the first to fifth days of the first lunar month. At the same time, this is actually because of the old custom that fire should not be used to steam buns during the first to fifth days of the first lunar month. Why do we need to ferment the dough on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month?Because it is traditional that fire is not allowed from the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month, food for the New Year must be prepared before the New Year. Leavened dough is not easy to spoil, so people can eat it as soon as it is heated up in the first month of the year. In Guangdong, we have a tradition of “washing away the dirt on the 28th day of the lunar year”. And “washing away the dirt” does not only mean cleaning the house inside and out and decorating it meticulously. Some families will also use pomelo leaves to boil water for washing in the evening of the same day, which means washing away the bad luck and misfortunes of the year. |
