It is the "end" of a year's activities for businesses and the "forerunner" of the Spring Festival activities for ordinary people. The second and sixteenth day of every month are the days when Minnan merchants worship the God of Land, which is called "Zuoya". The first tooth ceremony is on February 2nd, which is called the "first tooth"; the one on December 16th is the last tooth ceremony, so it is called the "last tooth".The custom of "making teeth" originated from "tooth merchants". "Ya Shang" refers to the "middleman" (broker) in ancient times who negotiated transactions between buyers and sellers and collected commissions. They hold "Tooth Sacrifice" twice a month to worship the God of Wealth and pray for prosperous business and abundant wealth. The 18th chapter of The Scholars says: "On normal days, we have a simple meal, but on the second and sixteenth day of the lunar month, we have meat at the restaurant." What is the meaning of the year-end banquet on Dahan?Nowadays, the "end-of-year party" of a company refers to the "annual meeting". Enterprises can use this day to hold an internal year-end party to summarize the company's performance in the previous year and reward employees who have made contributions. Therefore, it can be said that this is the party that every employee of an enterprise looks forward to most. Because the end of the year is also accompanied by the arrival of Christmas, New Year's Day and the Spring Festival.Therefore, many companies simply hold their annual meetings during these three festivals, which adds to the joyful atmosphere of the annual meeting. Many companies also hold some lottery activities at the "year-end banquet". All employees of the company participate. Everyone is in a friendly atmosphere and has the feeling of being a big family. Therefore, in a year, the second day of the first lunar month is called "Tou Ya", the sixteenth day of June is called "Ban Ya", and the sixteenth day of December is called "Wei Ya". The "Three Big Tooth Days" and "Tail-Tooth Day" are the most important days for businesses. All shops in urban and rural areas have to prepare rich gifts of three animals to honor the God of Land and the God at the Door, burn incense and light candles, pray for prosperous business in the coming year, and then burn gold paper money and set off firecrackers. At night, the boss would host a banquet to entertain the employees as a reward for their hard work throughout the year, and it was also customary to distribute dividends at this time. |
