The 16th day of the first lunar month is a peaceful day, one of the traditional lunar festivals of the Han nationality. In Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, the hometown of the great writer Wu Jingzi, there is a folk custom that has lasted from ancient times to the present: on the 16th day of the first lunar month every year, the streets of the city are deserted, and people from all over the country, old and young, go out to walk on the Taiping Bridge from early morning to late at night... The crowds are like tides, shoulder to shoulder, and it is quite spectacular. They set off fireworks, light firecrackers, and burn incense and candles, praying for good weather, turning misfortune into good fortune, eliminating disasters and diseases, and ensuring peace and safety. People call this: the "living fossil" of eastern Anhui - "Peaceful journey on the 16th day of the first lunar month".What are the customs on the 16th day of the first lunar month?1. Carrying bamboo baskets and dancing with torches On the evening of the 16th day of the first lunar month, we had dinner early and started "carrying bamboo baskets". The so-called "carrying a basket" is to put some quicklime in a gauze bag, tie it to one end of the weighing rod, and then a person holds the other end of the weighing rod and throws the gauze bag to the ground, leaving white spots on the ground. Of course, there are certain rules for "carrying the basket". You always have to "carry" it from the riverside wharf first, then the front and back doors of the house, the patio and the inside of the house. When the "carrying the basket" is over, the front and back of the house will be covered with dense white spots. Because the more white spots there are, the better the grain harvest this year. 2. Fried twisted dough sticks and scolding people Fried twisted dough sticks can fry mouse eyes; the more fiercely the corn is fried, the more mice will die. Moreover, if someone scolds you on the 16th night, it is the most auspicious, commonly known as scolding "bad luck", which can remove the bad luck of the year. 3. Sending cattle stakes The custom of sending cattle stakes on the 16th day of the first lunar month has a long history. At that time, people did not know about family planning. Many families gave birth to girls in the first and second births, and always wanted to have another boy, so they invited people to send them cattle stakes in order to have a son. Many times, those who sent cattle stakes always got what they wanted. Therefore, sending stakes was more popular at that time. |
