Why is the Little New Year divided into North and South? What is the difference between the Northern and Southern Little New Year?
Xiaonian is also one of my country's traditional festivals. So, let's take a look at why Xiaonian is divided into north and south? What is the difference between the Northern and Southern Little New Year? “La means connection, the new and the old are connected, so grand sacrifices are held to reward merits.” The twelfth month of the lunar calendar was a month for sacrifices in ancient times. Come to Shuimoxiansheng.com to learn more about the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2021.Why is the Little New Year divided into North and South?The fact that there is a distinction between the northern and southern parts of the Little New Year is actually related to the previous society.The traditional time for my country's Little New Year is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. In modern times, a saying has been circulated in some places in my country: "Officials' New Year's Day is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, common people's is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and people living on waters is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month." In fact, there is no distinction between "official Xiaonian" and "civilian Xiaonian". It's just that different regions have different concepts and dates of Xiaonian. The official and folk Xiaonian in the same region are the same. Traditionally, the date of Minor New Year in most parts of my country is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Before the Qing Dynasty, officials and civilians in the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Because the emperors in the middle and late Qing Dynasty worshipped the Kitchen God one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the people in the northern region also celebrated the Little New Year one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, the time of the Little New Year in the north and south of my country is different. What is the difference between the Northern and Southern Little New Year?The difference in time:The Little New Year in the north is on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Little New Year in the south is on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Differences in diet: In the north, people eat candy and dumplings during the Little New Year, but in the south, there is no such custom. When is the Little New Year?The concept and date of "Little New Year" vary from place to place. In the north it is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, in most parts of the south it is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions both "the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month" and "the night before New Year's Eve" are called Little New Year, in Nanjing area the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is called Little New Year, in some parts of Yunnan the date of Little New Year is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and in some parts of the southwest and north the date of Little New Year is New Year's Eve. |
