When is the Little New Year in 2021? What are the New Year’s greetings?
Little New Year is the beginning and foreshadowing of the entire Spring Festival celebrations, indicating that the new year will have a new look, and expressing the Han working people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to welcome good luck and fortune. So when is Little New Year in 2021? What are the New Year’s greetings?When is the Little New Year in 2021?The Little New Year of 2021, which is the Little New Year of the lunar calendar 2020, is Thursday, February 4, 2021, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.The origin of Xiaonian The 23rd and 24th day of the 12th lunar month are the traditional days for the Han people to worship the Kitchen God, also known as the "Little New Year." Legend has it that the Kitchen God was originally a commoner named Zhang Sheng. After marrying a wife, he spent his days in debauchery and lost all his family fortune, and was reduced to begging on the streets. One day, he went to beg at his ex-wife Guo Dingxiang's house. He was so ashamed that he dived under the stove and burned to death. When the Jade Emperor found out, he thought that Zhang Sheng had changed his mind and was not completely bad. Since he died at the bottom of the pot, he was named Kitchen God. He was required to report to heaven on the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month every year and return to the bottom of the pot on New Year's Eve. Ordinary people feel that the Kitchen God must be respected because he has to report to Heaven. Therefore, the Han people have the "Little New Year" of worshiping the kitchen god on the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month, praying for peace and prosperity in the coming year. Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty said in his "Poem on Offering to the Kitchen God": "According to ancient legend, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God looks up to the sky and wants to speak. The cloud chariot and wind horses linger for a while, and every family prepares cups and plates for the rich offering. The pig's head is cooked hot, and the two fish are fresh, and the bait is made of bean paste, sweet pine and powder. Men offer wine and girls stay away, and the Kitchen God is pleased with the offerings and money. Don't listen to the quarrels of maids, and don't be angry at the filth of cats and dogs. I send you drunk and full to the Heaven's Gate, and don't say anything about the long or short ladle. I beg for the profits and share them when I return." It can be said that this poem vividly illustrates the customs and habits of the ancient Han people regarding offering to the Kitchen God. Of course, this is just a folk legend among the Han people and is not credible. What are the New Year’s greetings?1. Today is Little New Year, so New Year’s greetings should be paid in advance.

I wish you a happy day every day in the coming year.2. I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much. I wonder if you are doing well recently in that distant place.

I send you baskets of blessings on New Year's Eve, may you smile every day; I send you pieces of warmth, may your heart be warm; I send you good luck every year, may your pockets be heavy; I send you health for generations, may your family be sweet. 4. Firecrackers are ringing in the streets, and the festive atmosphere is irresistible.

I wish you good luck in the New Year, and wealth will not run away! 7. While the sun has just risen, while the New Year's Eve has just arrived, while good luck has just knocked on the door, while auspicious clouds have just covered the sky, while the God of Wealth has just entered the door, while blessings and luck have just come, I would like to send my blessings early, happy New Year's Eve. 8. Welcome the New Year's Eve, the joy is roaring, and the family reunion is lively and bustling; friends send blessings with sincere hearts, and the friendship lasts forever and happily. The joy of the New Year is swaying, embracing good luck and throwing away worries. I wish you a happy New Year and eternal happiness. 9. On the arrival of the Little New Year, I turn blessings into beauties, I turn beauties into banknotes, I turn banknotes into US dollars, I turn US dollars into gold, I turn gold into sincerity, I turn sincerity into blessings, I turn blessings into text messages, and I send the text messages to you: I wish you a happy Little New Year and all the best! 10. I wish you a happy New Year, friends gather from all directions, your career is booming, your salary doubles, your bonus doubles continuously, you welcome the New Year with joy, return home happily, everything goes well, and you have a bright future! |
