Little New Year customs: worshipping the Kitchen God
In ancient times, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace used yellow sheep to worship the kitchen god. This ritual of worshiping the kitchen god continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. People in the folks use sugar melons, Guandong sugar, sugar cakes and other offerings to worship the Kitchen God; and use clean water and grass to worship the Kitchen God's horse.
According to legend, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Kitchen God rides his horse to heaven to report the good and bad deeds of other people to the Jade Emperor.
At the end of the night shift on the 23rd, every household would erect poles in the courtyard and hang sky lanterns. The male owner would kneel down and pray with words to conceal evil and promote good. Women were strictly prohibited from presiding over the ceremony and could only clean the stove in the inner room. After the sacrifice, the statue of the Kitchen God is taken down and burned together with paper ingots.
Little New Year customs: sweeping the dust
Sweeping the dust means sweeping the year, which actually means cleaning the home environment. People in the north call it "sweeping the house"; people in the south call it "dusting".
Traditionally, every household gets up at dawn on this day to sweep the house, clean the windows, wash clothes, scrub the pots and pans, and carry out a thorough cleaning.
According to "Shiyi Ji", this custom can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, it was a religious ceremony to drive away plague ghosts and pray for health. The latter word "chen" is homophonic with "chen", so sweeping the dust means sweeping away all the old things, which refers to both the old dirt in the courtyard and the unpleasantness encountered in the old year.
Little New Year customs: cutting window decorations
The contents of the paper-cut window decorations include various anecdotes about animals and plants, such as magpies climbing on plum trees, swallows flying through peach and willow trees, peacocks playing with peonies, lions rolling embroidered balls, three sheep (yang) bringing good luck, two dragons playing with pearls, deer, cranes, tung trees and toon trees (six harmonies in spring), five bats (blessings) holding longevity, rhinoceros looking at the moon, lotus (continuous) years with fish (surplus), mandarin ducks playing in the water, Liu Hai playing with golden cicadas, the two immortals of harmony and unity, and so on. Little New Year customs: pasting Spring Festival couplets
After the Little New Year, every household will write Spring Festival couplets. People believe that couplets must be posted wherever there are gods, on every door, and on every object, so there are the largest number of couplets during the Spring Festival, and their content is the most comprehensive.
The couplets before the gods are particularly exquisite, and are mostly words of admiration and blessing. The couplets on the front door are the face of a family and are given special attention. They may be lyrical or descriptive.
Little New Year customs: bathing
After the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, both adults and children must bathe and have a haircut. There is a saying among the people that "Whether you have money or not, you should get a haircut during the New Year." In Luliang area, people pay attention to washing feet on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
That evening, the mother-in-law and the children all washed their feet with boiling water. For ignorant girls, adults should also help them wash their feet clean to leave no dirt. There is a folk saying that goes, "On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, all wives and children should wash their feet. If one person does not wash his feet, he will have pus and watery feet for seven months."
Little New Year customs: suitable for marriage
After the 23rd, people believe that the gods have gone to heaven and there are no taboos. There is no need to choose a date to marry a wife or a daughter, which is called a hasty marriage. There are a lot of wedding ceremonies held until the end of the year.
There is a saying in the folk song, "At the end of the year, villages are busy with weddings, and Yichun’s invitations are sent to celebrate the spring. Sisters whisper to each other in front of the lamp, and this year’s staying up late is the bridal chamber."
