The Origin of New Year's Eve ——As a festival at the end of the year, it originated from the ancient customs of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new and worshiping ancestors at the end of the year. The earliest mention of the name "New Year's Eve" was in the local customs "Fengtu Ji" written by Zhou Chu of the Western Jin Dynasty. Later, the day before New Year's Eve was called Xiaochu, or Little New Year's Eve; New Year's Eve was called Dachu, or Big New Year's Eve. According to "Lüshi Chunqiu·Jidongji", the ancients used drum beating to drive away the "epidemic ghost" on the day before the New Year. At the end of each year, a "Dannu" ceremony was held. Beating drums to drive away the epidemic ghost was said to be one of the customs of the "New Year's Eve" at that time. New Year's Eve Ancestor Worship——Ancient ancestor worship:In ancient times, this custom was very popular. Due to different customs in different places, the forms of ancestor worship are also different. Some people go to the wild to worship their ancestors' tombs, some go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, and most of them place the ancestral tablets in the main hall at home, display offerings, and then the worshipers burn incense and kneel down in order of seniority. When the ancients offered sacrifices to their ancestors, they mostly cooked fish and meat dishes and served them in tall bowls, which gave the impression of being feasted on a tripod. ——Ancestor worship in the South: Southerners hold ancestor worship in a particularly grand manner. Most of the time, they have eight large dishes, a hot pot in the middle, and cups and chopsticks placed according to the spirit position. On New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and Lantern Festival, the hot pot will be fanned open and the dishes will be changed at any time. Vegetarian steamed buns are offered on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Yuanxiao is offered on Lantern Festival, and incense is burned, heads kowtowed, and new tea is offered every morning and evening. Although the forms of ancestor worship vary, most of them involve hanging up offerings on New Year's Eve and removing offerings on the Lantern Festival. Close relatives and friends must also pay homage to the ancestral hall when paying New Year's greetings. This not only keeps the intention of respecting the dead and remembering the ancestors, but also preserves the virtue of respecting their ancestors. ——Meaning of ancestor worship: In some parts of China, there is a custom of visiting graves on New Year's Eve, which is called sending new year food. The time for visiting graves is usually in the afternoon of New Year's Eve. People send the prepared New Year's Eve dinner to the graves of their deceased relatives, allowing the deceased relatives to enjoy the New Year's Eve food with the living, thus expressing people's grief for their deceased relatives. |
