In China, the color red represents joy and can ward off evil spirits. Tying a red string on a car is a way of praying for the owner's safe travels. 2. “Gecko” You can often see "gecko" stickers on all kinds of cars on the street. This is because its homonym means "shelter" or "avoid goods", so they are affixed with "gecko" logos. 3. Worship the car You have seen people worshipping the God of Wealth, but have you seen people worshipping cars? In some places, there is a custom of worshiping cars to pray for safe travels. Worship ceremonies are held at the end and beginning of each year, praying to the "God of Cars" to bless their safe travels. 4. Car accessories Many people place pendants in their cars, such as Buddha statues, perfumes... These pendants will more or less affect the vision; just do more good deeds and keep the Buddha in your heart. 5. Set off firecrackers In some places, people will set off firecrackers with great fanfare after buying a car, to bring good luck to the new car. What are the customs of Xiaonian?Little New Year customs: worshipping the kitchen godSince we have to send off the Kitchen God, the "Kitchen God Worship" ceremony is of course indispensable. It is the most important activity on the day of Little New Year. The day of Little New Year is actually a festival for each family to send off the Kitchen God to heaven. They have to take down the old portrait of the Kitchen God that has been burned by smoke and fire for a year. At the same time, every household has to "invite" back a new image of the Kitchen God. Little New Year customs: sweeping the house After offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, people begin to prepare for the New Year. Every year, from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the New Year's Eve, the Chinese people call this period of time "Welcoming Spring Day" or "Dust Sweeping Day". Sweeping the dust is the year-end cleaning, which is called "sweeping the house" in the north and "dusting" in the south. Sweeping the house before the Spring Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation. Dust sweeping mainly means cleaning all the rooms thoroughly. Housewives usually cover the furniture in the house with sheets, wrap their heads with a headscarf or towel, and then sweep the walls up and down with a broom. After sweeping, wipe the tables and chairs, rinse the floor, and welcome the arrival of the New Year with cleanliness, tidiness and brightness. Little New Year customs: cutting window decorations Cutting and pasting window decorations is also a popular folk activity during the Little New Year. The contents include various stories 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, etc. Little New Year customs: eating stove candy The offerings to the Kitchen God do not need to be chicken, duck, fish or meat, let alone cattle or mutton. All that is needed is some "sugar melons" to let the Kitchen God taste something sweet and say a few good words to the Jade Emperor. An old saying goes, "On the 23rd, sugar-coated melons are sticky and the Kitchen God is about to ascend to heaven." Stove sugar is a kind of malt sugar. When it is pulled into a long stick, it is called "Kanto sugar", and when it is pulled into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". Real Kanto sugar is extremely hard and cannot be broken. It must be chopped with a kitchen knife when eaten. The material is very heavy and fine. Nowadays, more and more modern people spend the Little New Year's Festival by tasting sugar-coated melons. In addition, dumplings and steamed buns are also special seasonal foods for the Little New Year. During the Kitchen God Festival, people pay attention to eating dumplings, which means "sending off dumplings with noodles in the wind." People in mountainous areas mostly eat cakes and buckwheat noodles. In the southeastern part of Shanxi Province, it is popular to eat fried corn. There is a folk saying that goes, "On the 23rd, don't eat fried corn; on the New Year's Day - eat all of it." People like to stick the fried corn together with maltose and freeze it into large chunks, which taste crispy and sweet. The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
