Introduction to the Origin of the 28th Day of the 12th Month

For example, the area where Shandong, Hebei and Henan provinces meet is recorded in folk books (available in the county libraries of Guantao, Daming, etc.). Because the Yuan army was passing through the border, the pork was cut into large pieces (Tuotuo meat) and cooked in advance on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. In the early morning of the 28th day, they worshiped the gods and held sacrifices, and then the whole family fled for refuge. On the first day of the first lunar month, people return to their hometowns to visit their neighbors (greeting the new year on the first day), on the second day they visit relatives and friends (returning to one’s mother’s home is part of this), on the third day they worship dead soldiers and ancestors (ancestor worship), and on the fourth day they continue to visit relatives and friends (including returning to one’s mother’s home).
In places such as Susong in Anhui Province and the border with Taihu Lake, the tradition of celebrating the New Year on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month has been passed down. I heard from the local older generation that the reason why the New Year is celebrated on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is that the ancestors of the local people were old landlords, and the hired servants had to return to their homes to celebrate the New Year before New Year's Eve. Therefore, the old landlords had no servants to serve them on the night of the 30th, so they celebrated the New Year in advance on the 28th, and had the servants serve them through the New Year's Eve dinner, and then paid the servants their wages and items and sent them home after daybreak. Because transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, servants would leave in the morning and usually arrive home in the evening.
Although there are no landlords nowadays, for the sake of celebration, the locals still retain the tradition of celebrating the New Year on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and of course they also celebrate the New Year on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. Nowadays, celebrating the New Year on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month has gradually become a grand reunion time for local people.
