What are the customs on the eleventh day of the first lunar month?1. Son-in-law Day <br /> The eleventh day of the first lunar month is "Son-in-law Day", when the father-in-law entertains his son-in-law. There is a lot of food left over from celebrating the "God's Birthday" on the ninth day of the first lunar month, after being eaten for a day on the tenth day. Therefore, the wife's family does not have to spend any more money and can use the leftover food to entertain the son-in-law and daughter. The folk song calls this "Inviting the Son-in-law on the Eleventh Day".In fact, "Son-in-law Day" has a long history. In ancient times, the leftover food from the celebration of "God of Heaven"'s birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month had not been eaten up, so people would use these delicacies from offering sacrifices to the gods to entertain daughters and sons-in-law as a return gift when the daughter returned home on the second day of the first lunar month. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, when a daughter and her son-in-law rush back to her parents' home, her older brother or younger brother must go out in advance to greet them, to show the respect and attention that the family has for the son-in-law. 2. Xingcai Bridge <br /> The custom of "Xingtou Bridge" with strong local flavor is an important folk custom in Chaoshan. The "Xingcai Bridge" that starts on the evening of the 11th day of the first lunar month is called "Xingqiaotou". When night falls and the lights come on, people come in groups of three or five, carrying the old and the young, and rush to the colorful bridge with great interest. When crossing the bridge, people would pick banyan branches and bamboo leaves from the bridgehead and compose four lines for each person: "Pick banyan leaves, and you will have money every day." Take it home and stick it on the door lintel to pray for good luck. In the "Xingtou Bridge", different ages have different prayers. For example, people with children say: "Walk on the bridge (or touch the lion's head), Anu will be virtuous in everything"; unmarried young men say: "Walk on the bridge belly (or touch the lion's belly), marry a beautiful wife"; girls take stones or bamboo sticks and throw them into the stream and say: "Throw (or walk) in the bridge, marry a handsome husband"; pregnant women say: "Touch the bridge (or lion) ear, give birth to a younger brother"... and so on. 3. Eat Laohezi <br /> On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, old Beijingers have the custom of eating Laohezi. The ancients believed that "ten" was a beautiful number that represented "perfection and repetition". Adding "one" to ten meant a new beginning, so the four days before the Lantern Festival were used as the time for "greeting the old age". There is a saying in old Beijing that "you can pay New Year's greetings before the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month": before the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is called "early New Year's greetings", before the 5th day of the first lunar month is called "big New Year's greetings", and after the 5th day of the first lunar month, which is called "breaking the fifth day", is called "late New Year's greetings". For those who are unable to wish a happy new year to their relatives, friends and old acquaintances for various reasons in the days around the New Year, it would be polite to say "happy new year in your later years" as soon as possible. The food custom of this day is to eat laohezi. The "he" in laohezi is homophonic with "he" in Chinese, so eating hezi means living a harmonious and happy life. 4. Paolong Festival <br /> In Guangxi, on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Binyang will hold the Paolong Festival, which is also one of the major folk customs. "Paolong" is a kind of dancing dragon, but it is larger than the common dancing dragon, about 40 meters long, with the short one having 7 sections and the long one having 11 sections. Every year on the eleventh night of the first lunar month, Binyang County holds the "Pao Long Festival". Wherever the "Pao Long" goes, every household sets off firecrackers and lines the streets to welcome it. There is a saying that "the sound of cannons never stops, and the dragon dance never stops", so it is called "Pao Long". As the dragon moves forward, some spectators seize the opportunity to quickly pass under the dragon, or pull out a few of its whiskers or scales, praying for good luck. When the "cannon dragon" danced to the end of the street and was blown to pieces by firecrackers, only its skeleton was left. The elders of the tribe directed people to light a bonfire, play the "Binyang Eight Sounds", and throw the "cannon dragon" into the fire, symbolizing "sending the dragon back to heaven". Afterwards, people set up a big pot on the raging fire and cooked "dragon porridge" to comfort the dragon dancing warriors. 5. Congratulations on the birth of a new baby In the first month of every year, various regions in Guangdong have the custom of celebrating the birth of a boy. In the Chaoshan area, "rice sugar cubes" are sent to every household on the tenth and eleventh day of the first lunar month. In the Hakka area, "lanterns are lit and banquets are held" to entertain the villagers. Zhu Village, a famous cultural village in Guangzhou, hangs "human lanterns" to pray for the newborns. Although the customs of celebrating the birth of a new baby vary from place to place, they are all filled with every household's good wishes and expectations for the "new baby". Every year on the tenth or eleventh day of the first lunar month, the ancient Beidi Temple in Zhu Village, Guangzhou, is always filled with smoke, and several octagonal paper lanterns are hung on the Sheji Altar in front of the temple. In Zhu Village, according to custom, every villager who had a new child or grandchild last year (sometimes the year before) must go to the clan altar to "hang lanterns". 6. Shangcai Day <br /> The eleventh day of the first lunar month is a small festival before the Lantern Festival in Fuzhou, called "Shangcai Day". Shangcai Day has a long history and symbolizes welcoming the spring and bringing good fortune. According to Fuzhou's traditional customs, Fuzhou people have the habit of sending lanterns before the Lantern Festival. Usually grandparents send lanterns to their grandchildren. The time for sending lanterns is usually from the eighth to the eleventh day of the first lunar month. Why do we have to send lanterns before the eleventh day of the first lunar month? According to experts, the eleventh day of the first lunar month is called "Shangcai Day" in Fuzhou. It is a small festival before the Lantern Festival, which means welcoming the spring and bringing good fortune. On this day, every household lights lanterns to celebrate, and some families even eat "Shangcai Rice" at night. In the old days, various Lantern Festival celebrations also kicked off around this day. 7. Worship Zi Gu <br /> On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, worship Zi Gu (Zi Gu is the name of a legendary goddess. In the southwest of China, especially in the western Hunan region, folklore says she is the toilet god, also known as Zi Gu, Toilet Gu, Mao Gu, Keng Gu, Keng San Niangniang, etc. People say she can predict the future, and often worship her at home to predict various things). The earliest document recording "Zi Gu" is "Yi Yuan" by Liu Jingshu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Generally speaking, Zi Gu was someone's concubine who was envied by the original wife and was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Emperor of Heaven took pity on her and made her the toilet god. The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
