Build a lantern shed <br /> It is commonly known as "Twelve Lantern Sheds" among the people. This means that the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the village manager will start to gather skilled craftsmen and young people to prepare lanterns and make various preparations for the Lantern Festival from this day on.There is a nursery rhyme that goes: "Eleven people are chattering, twelve people are setting up the lantern shed, thirteen people are lighting the lanterns, fourteen people are lighting the lanterns, fifteen people are at their zenith, sixteen people are putting out the lanterns." 2. Fire Festival <br /> In some areas in southern Shijiazhuang, the custom of roasting cypress fire on the twelfth day of the first lunar month (some people roast cypress fire on the tenth day of the first lunar month) is still preserved. At dusk, people light cypress branches in front of their homes. There is a fragrance in the smoke, and the whole family, young and old, sit around the fire, which is called "roasting cypress fire." Roasting cypress fire symbolizes "destroying disaster" and can ward off plague and drive away evil spirits. People would burn all the old household items that were no longer in use, and use the remaining cypress branches to carve "cypress locks", tie them with ropes, and hang them around babies' necks in the hope of wishing them a long life. The pronunciation of this phrase is homophonic to “烤百火” (roasting a hundred fires) and “烤百龄火” (roasting a hundred-year-old fire). Children go from street to street, visiting each household and roasting fires by the hundreds of households. This will keep them free from diseases and ensure a safe year. 3. Celebrate the Rat Festival <br /> It is said that the twelfth day of the first lunar month is the day when rats marry. Some also say that this day is the rat’s birthday, so people create all kinds of “programs” around rats, which not only express the people’s hatred for rats, but also drive away the hard work of the folks for a year. The Han folk customs on this day include hiding scissors, collecting old shoes, pinching mouse mouths, etc. You cannot use scissors on the Rat Day. As long as you don’t hear the “clicking” sound of scissors, you won’t hear the “clicking” sound of mice eating food in your home for the whole year. That morning, children from every household carried baskets and went door to door collecting old shoes, and the villagers were also happy to give away the "evil" (shoes). 4. Making dumplings <br /> On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, every household makes dumplings. When making dumplings, you should pinch them tightly, commonly known as pinching the mouse's mouth, meaning to make it happy and stop causing harm. People will pinch the dumplings into the shape of a mouse, with a mouth, ears, and tail, and use mung beans as eyes. People say that making dumplings is like "pinching a mouse's mouth." If the mouse's mouth is pinched to death, the mouse will not be able to bite things, and there will be no mice in the house for the whole year. At night, every household drinks millet or cornmeal porridge, which is meant to "blind the mouse's eyes" so that the mouse cannot see clearly. After dinner, people also fry peanuts, which means "frying (noising) the ears of deaf mice." 5. "Dian Ding" Day <br /> In Hakka folk customs, people hang lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate family reunion during the Lantern Festival, and on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, each village will gather skilled craftsmen to build sheds and light lanterns. Since “deng” and “ding” have the same pronunciation in Hakka dialect, the twelfth day of the first lunar month is also the “dian ding” day. The custom of dianding not only implies congratulations, but also expresses the clan's recognition of the newly born male. All male children must be selected once. They can be selected in the year of their birth or when they are a few years older. According to custom, when the lion dance team comes to congratulate, the host family will set off two firecrackers to welcome them, and take out wedding candies, oranges and red envelopes to thank the lion dance team. |
