If you want to know more, please check out the New Year’s Eve special topic compiled by Mr. Shui Mo for you!What day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month?The 28th or 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, is called the Little New Year's Eve, which is a folk culture of the Han nationality. On this day, families hold banquets and people visit each other to say goodbye to the old year. Burning incense outdoors is called "tianxiang" and usually lasts for three days.New Year's Eve refers to the last night of the twelfth lunar month of each year, which is connected to the Spring Festival (the first day of the first lunar month). The word "chu" in "Chuxi" means "to go; to change; to alternate". Chuxi means "the end of the month and the year". People have to get rid of the old and welcome the new. It means that the old year is over and the new year will come. It is the last night of the lunar calendar. Therefore, the activities during this period are centered around getting rid of the old and bringing in the new, eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. During the Zhou and Qin dynasties, at the end of each year, a "Dannu" ceremony was held in the imperial palace, in which drums were beaten to drive away the plague demons. This was called "Zhu Chu". Later, the day before New Year's Eve was called Xiao Chu, or Little New Year's Eve, and New Year's Eve was called Da Chu, or Big New Year's Eve. What are the customs on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month?On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, people visit the graves of their ancestors and offer sacrifices. The Chinese lunar calendar is divided into long and short months. The so-called long month has 30 days, and the short month has only 29 days. Therefore, the twelfth lunar month is a short month, and the twenty-ninth day is the last day of the year. Then the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year's Eve. Even if it is not a short month, the next day is New Year's Eve, so all preparations for the New Year must be completed on this day. In the entire New Year festival, the 29th day can be said to be the busiest day. In addition to preparing various food, clothing and sacrificial offerings for the New Year festival, there is also an extremely important activity of "visiting the graves to pray to the ancestors". Therefore, the New Year's folk song says, "On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, visit the graves of ancestors and ask for great offerings."The worship of ancestors has a long history in China. Treating the dead as if they were alive is not only an important symbol of filial piety, but also a virtue of respecting the elderly. Therefore, every time there is a festival, we have to offer sacrifices to our ancestors. This is not only a way to comfort the ancestors, but also an expression of gratitude and longing for the ancestors by the descendants. The Spring Festival is a major festival, so the ceremony of visiting graves and praying to ancestors is particularly solemn and important. The time for visiting the graves and praying to the ancestors is in the early morning of the 29th day in most areas, while in a few areas it is in the afternoon or dusk on New Year's Eve. The folk song says "On the 29th, steamed buns" The dough is leavened on the 28th, and the steamed buns will start to be steamed on the 29th. People use their imagination to make the buns into various shapes such as longevity peaches and small animals. In Tianjin, people will go to Qiaoxiang Pavilion to ask for Chinese knots on this day, which means "Qiaoxiang brings good luck".
