What to do during the Spring Festival? What are the special things about the Spring Festival?
Chinese culture has left a brilliant mark in the world's history and culture. Different places in China have different cultural customs. So, what should we do during the Spring Festival? What are the special things about the Spring Festival? There are some taboos about the Spring Festival that you need to pay attention to. Next, go to the 2019 Spring Festival special topic specially compiled by Shuimoxiansheng.com for everyone to learn more about it!What to do during the Spring Festival?1. Paste the couplet with the word "Fu":Most people paste up the Chinese couplets and the Chinese character "Fu" on the morning of the 31st. Of course, some people paste them up at night. In short, they paste festive couplets and the Chinese character "Fu" upside down on the door. 2. Sacrifice: Generally, people in rural areas will hold sacrifices during the Spring Festival, but in cities, there will rarely be sacrifices. However, there are still people who will burn paper on the night of the Spring Festival. But you must pay attention to safety! Fires occur every year due to burning paper. Try not to choose a place with grass on a barren hill; 3. Prepare New Year’s Eve dinner: In most families, many people start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner early in the morning. A family of more than a dozen people must prepare a lot of food, so many families prepare the New Year's Eve dinner very early; 4. Steamed glutinous rice dumplings and rice cakes: After the Little New Year, people start steaming a bunch of things. In some places, they steam date buns, and some steam glutinous rice cakes. In short, they are all delicious pasta-based foods. Especially during the Spring Festival in rural areas, there are many delicious pasta foods that are super delicious! 5. Eat New Year's Eve dinner: At around four or five in the afternoon, it’s time for the New Year’s Eve dinner to begin. Some families would eat until midnight, while others would go back to their own homes after eating. New Year’s Eve dinner mainly consists of meat dishes, but some families are more particular and go to restaurants to eat New Year’s Eve dinner, which makes many restaurants make a lot of money. However, more people still eat traditionally at home, which is more lively and safer. 6. Eat rice cakes: The symbol of rice cake is promotion every year, so it is a must to eat rice cake during the Spring Festival. Especially children and white-collar workers in important positions must eat it; 7. Eat dumplings: Dumplings are a must-eat during the Spring Festival, and dumplings are a must-have for the meal at midnight! Most families will wrap some things in dumplings, such as money, peanuts, dates, etc., which are all things with meaning! Dates and peanuts represent early birth of a son, and money, of course, means getting rich in the coming year. There are also pistachios and so on, which all depends on your mood; 8. Watch the Spring Festival Gala: Although the current Spring Festival Gala is indeed not very interesting, and although most people now use the time for the Spring Festival Gala to play on their phones, chat on QQ, or use their computers, the TV still has to be turned on to watch the Spring Festival Gala, like a fixed pattern. Even if you watch it occasionally, the family will have to gather together and wait by the TV until the Spring Festival Gala starts at 8 o'clock, and they have to stay in front of the TV until midnight before they disperse. Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala is a fixed custom. You can choose not to watch it, but the TV must be turned on to the Spring Festival Gala channel; 9. Setting off firecrackers: Setting off firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new is something every family does during the Spring Festival. Although the festive atmosphere is not as strong now, firecrackers are still indispensable. Nowadays, many people are superstitious, so even if the New Year atmosphere is not very festive, they will still set off firecrackers. Of course, it is better to set off fewer firecrackers. You can buy electronic ones and set them off at home, because firecrackers can cause great pollution to the environment. The formation of smog is caused by these pollutions. 10. New Year greetings over the phone: Now that communications are more developed, even if you are far away from each other, you can still wish each other a happy new year over the phone. Watching the Spring Festival Gala and making phone calls to wish each other a happy new year in the evening has become a habit during the Spring Festival. Of course, people of Yiyi's age have long been sending New Year greetings via QQ and mobile phone text messages, which lacks a bit of sentiment, but is much more economical than making phone calls. 11. Staying up all night: This is of course a must! As soon as the Spring Festival Gala ends at midnight, I eat dumplings and then go to bed. But many children may not be able to hold on for that long. When Yiyi was a child, she would get up in the middle of the night to eat dumplings. It is really difficult for her to hold on until 12 o'clock. 12. Give children New Year's money: Many people have heard the legend of New Year's money, but nowadays New Year's money is just a form of fun for children. Younger children will give the red envelopes to their parents after a while, while older children usually have their own ideas and will keep them for themselves or use them to buy books or toys. However, New Year's money is given to each other. Except for the elderly giving it to their grandchildren, other relatives will have children. You should naturally give back what others give you. So in fact, New Year's money is just a gesture, but children like it, so New Year's money is also a custom that is indispensable every Spring Festival. What are the special things about the Spring Festival?1. It is said that a child's crying will bring bad luck to the family. No matter what happens, parents should try not to let their children cry.2. The damage of tools or other equipment means the disappearance of wealth in the coming year, so businessmen should try their best to prevent this from happening. 3. If it is not urgent, try not to go to the hospital. It is said that you will get sick in the coming year. 4. Theft: It is best not to let others steal your belongings and money during the Spring Festival, because there is a saying that if you do not take good care of your pockets, then the coming year heralds the loss of money. 5. Debt: Do not lend money to others during the New Year, and all debts must be settled before New Year’s Eve. If someone still owes you money and refuses to pay it back, don't go to their house to collect the debt. It is said that if you do this, things will go wrong in the coming year. 6. Don’t empty the rice jar during the New Year, as there is an old saying that it is a risk of running out of food. 7. Damaged clothes: New clothes cannot be damaged. Especially children should not wear such clothes in the first month of the New Year, otherwise it will bring bad luck. 8. Do not kill any living creatures during the Spring Festival, as the sight of blood is a bad omen that will lead to financial loss, knife wounds, or serious injuries. 9. Also, don't wear white or black clothes because these two colors are often closely associated with death. 10. Welcoming the New Year: According to superstitious customs, people usually stay up late on New Year's Eve and set off firecrackers in the early hours of the morning to drive away the Nian God. 11. You can’t wash your hair on the first day of the New Year because “发” in Chinese sounds the same as “get rich”. So if you wash your hair, you will wash away all the wealth at the beginning of the new year. |
