What are the customs and habits during the Great Cold?The Great Cold is usually close to the Minor New Year, so the Great Cold is already filled with the atmosphere of joy and happiness before the New Year. People begin to get busy cleaning out the old and decorating with the new, pickling preserved meats and preparing New Year's goods.The so-called "welcoming the New Year with the Great Cold" means that during the period from the Great Cold to the Lunar New Year, there will be a series of activities among the people. In summary, there are at least ten major customs, namely: "eating glutinous rice", "drinking", "making teeth", "sweeping the house", "pasting windows", "cured meat", "rushing to get married", "taking advantage of the market", "bathing", "sticking New Year's red ribbons" , etc. 1. Eating glutinous rice: Eating glutinous rice means eating food made from glutinous rice on the day of the Great Cold. Ancient people used to eat food made from glutinous rice. 2. Indulge in drinking: Indulge in drinking means to indulge in feasting and drinking. Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Duduan": "La is the grand sacrifice at the end of the year, during which officials are allowed to feast and drink." 3. Zuoya: Zuoya is also called "Zuoyaji", which was originally a ceremony to worship the God of Land. The commonly known as "Da Yaji" for a delicious meal comes from this. There are two kinds of teeth celebration: the first tooth and the last tooth. The first tooth is on the second day of the second lunar month, and the last tooth is on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The whole family sits together to celebrate the last tooth. 4. Dust removal: Dust removal is also called "removing the old" and "beating the dust", which means general cleaning: "Every family paints the walls to sweep away the bad luck" and sweep away the bad luck; on the contrary, "if you don't remove dust in the twelfth lunar month, you will attract the plague god in the coming year." Dust removal is usually carried out on the 23rd and 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day of "worshiping the kitchen god". When dusting, you should avoid talking and pay attention to "making money in silence." 5. Window pasting: Window pasting means pasting windows with new paper. “Paste windows to bring good luck.” For the sake of beauty, some families will cut some auspicious patterns and paste them on the windows, so it is also called “window flowers pasting”. It is usually done on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. 6. Steamed offerings: Steamed offerings are the offerings prepared for sacrifice. In the past, the cakes, steamed buns and steamed buns used for offerings were all steamed with flour, so they were called steamed offerings. 7. Rushing to get married: Rushing to get married means that at the end of December, the gods go to heaven to "report their work for the year". At this time, there are no taboos in the world. There is no need to pick a date for marriage at this time, and it is also the slack season for farming. Therefore, the folk scene in the old days was "busy getting married in the countryside at the end of the year". 8. Going to the market: Going to the market is the traditional New Year market, where people buy supplies for the La Festival and prepare New Year goods. 9. Bathing: Bathing has the same purpose as "dust removal", which is to maintain good personal hygiene, implying washing away a year's worries and bad luck. So no matter how busy you are at the end of the year, you have to get a haircut and take a bath. As the old saying goes, "Whether you have money or not, you can take a bath during the New Year."
