On this day, people slaughter pigs, cut meat, and start preparing for the New Year.A brief introduction to customs and habits on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar monthA folk proverb of the Han nationality says: "On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are slaughtered and meat is cut for the New Year." It means that this day is mainly used to prepare meat for the New Year. The so-called killing pigs, of course, means killing the pigs raised by one's own family; the so-called cutting meat refers to the poor families who do not raise pigs going to the market to buy meat for New Year's meal. The reason why "cutting New Year's meat" is included in the New Year's song is that the economy of the farming society was underdeveloped and people could only eat meat during the annual New Year's festival, so it was called "New Year's meat." The traditional Han custom on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is "stewing meat".On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are sayings in various places such as "On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, wash inside and outside" and "On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, clean the poultry and livestock houses." Regarding the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, there is a saying among the Han people that "the meat is cut on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month", which means that people should start buying New Year's goods from this day on. In villages across the country, this day is the big market day. People from villages surrounding the market rush to the market to buy New Year's goods. Cigarettes, alcohol, fish, meat, firecrackers and gifts for visiting relatives are all indispensable. The festive atmosphere is gradually getting stronger. The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month refers to the common name for the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month (also known as the twelfth lunar month) in the Chinese lunar calendar; one of the customs of the Spring Festival. In a blink of an eye, it is the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the old saying, "stew meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month", I believe this day is a festival for all children, as they can finally eat "New Year's meat". Now, let us tell you about the Han Chinese folk custom of stewing meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. In the past, ordinary people lived in poverty, and there were many people in a family, so they often had no food to eat. Those with slightly better conditions could only eat some steamed bread and wild vegetables. After finally waiting for the New Year, the laborers in the family began to slaughter pigs. Those who did not raise pigs would go to the market to buy a piece of meat to take home. Therefore, stewing meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month is also called "The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, slaughtering pigs and cutting New Year's meat." At the same time, due to the underdeveloped economy of the farming society, people could only eat meat during the New Year, so it was called "New Year's meat". "New Year's meat" requires eating braised pork. Meat itself represents wealth, and braised pork can better represent a prosperous and wealthy new year. A bowl of steaming braised pork with the aroma of meat is what many people look forward to on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. Even today, when every family is getting better and better, buying some meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month has become an old tradition that many people have not forgotten. Summary: From the above article content, we can see that there is a custom of slaughtering pigs and cutting New Year meat on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, which means that the preparation of meat for the New Year begins. This is a folk custom inherited by the Han nationality. I hope that this old tradition will be passed down from generation to generation! |
