The fortune teller website will help you understand the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.What are the customs on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in 2018?1. Fermentation of dough <br /> On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the dough is fermented to prepare the staple food. In the past, there was no quick-acting fermentation powder, and ordinary dough was not easy to keep. Fermented dough did not spoil easily, so on the 28th day, the dough was fermented to prepare the staple food from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the 27th day, the dough was fermented. On the 28th day, we started to steam jujube flowers, that is, steamed jujube flowers with fillings. According to old rules, you cannot use fire to steam buns or cook from the first to the fifth day of the New Year, so old Beijingers are accustomed to making staple foods on the 28th and 29th days of the New Year. During the Spring Festival, steaming, frying, deep-frying and baking are taboos. Steaming is homophonic with "争", frying is homophonic with "闹", deep-frying is homophonic with "炸(four tones)", and baking is homophonic with "落", all of which are considered unlucky. Therefore, old Beijingers would steam enough steamed buns to feed the whole family for about a week before the New Year. This is called "eating the next year's meal". Nowadays, there are many varieties of steamed buns sold outside and they are not expensive, so fewer and fewer people make their own dough and steam buns. However, every year when the year comes to an end, many people still follow the custom passed down from their elders and make dough on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in preparation for steaming buns the next day.2. Steamed jujube flowers <br /> On this day, people in Taiyuan steam "two baskets of cakes and steamed buns"; people in Hebei steam "jujube flowers" as offerings to their ancestors for New Year's Eve; people in Henan also steam and fry buns on the 28th. Only people in Beijing are a step behind, and they "ferment the dough" on this day and "steam the steamed buns" on the 29th. 3. Pasting flowers <br /> On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, in addition to making dough, people also need to "paste flowers", that is, paste New Year pictures, Spring Festival couplets and window decorations. The custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets originated from the ancient "peach charms". The ancients believed that peach wood was a wood that could ward off evil spirits. "Dianshu" said: "Peach is the essence of the five woods, so it can suppress evil spirits." During the Five Dynasties, Meng Chang, the monarch of the Later Shu Dynasty, was fond of literature. He ordered people to write peach charms every year, which became the origin of later Spring Festival couplets. The words "New Year brings more blessings, and the festival is called Changchun" written on the peach charms became the first recorded "Spring Festival couplet" in Chinese history. Later, with the advent of papermaking, the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets using red paper instead of peach wood emerged. |
