In Junan, it is taboo to push the mill (the mill is closed before the New Year and is not allowed to be used until the fifth day of the New Year), fetch water, sweep the floor, or hit or scold people. In Linyi, people avoid touching needles and money, making dumplings, eating meat, and crushing garlic. In Yiyuan, people are forbidden to light lamps on the first night of the Lunar New Year. It is said that if lamps are lit, rats will infest the city. People in Jiaodong are most taboo about breaking things on the first day of the Lunar New Year. If something is broken, one should hold the broken pieces in one's hand, walk straight to the well without looking back or saying anything, and throw the broken pieces into the well, otherwise it will be considered a bad omen. In some places, after breaking something, people recite auspicious words "May you be safe and sound every year" to break the bad luck. When cooking dumplings on the first day of the New Year, if they break, you cannot say "broken", you should say "earned" instead. When people eat dumplings and garlic during the Chinese New Year in stores, because "garlic" and "san" have the same pronunciation, garlic is renamed "Yihecai".It is very common among the people in Shandong to hold entertainment activities during the Spring Festival. There are various forms of performances, such as yangko, dragon lanterns, lion dances, land boat races, martial arts performances, and ball games. From the second to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a Drum Tower Gate Festival in Qufu City and the Confucius Temple is open. At the meeting, there were performances of local operas such as Huagu and Xiaqiang, as well as folk art performances, and stalls selling toys, fireworks, flowers, and fried cakes. The fair is at its peak on the 14th, when many people from the countryside come to the city to attend the fair, commonly known as "going to the fair." In order to enjoy the lively scene at the party, the young ladies and wives of the Confucius Mansion built a platform and a shed against the wall inside the gate of the Confucius Mansion, hung lanterns and decorations, and hung a bamboo curtain on the street side of the platform to enjoy the view through the curtain. |
