The custom of celebrating New Year in rural areas of southern Fujian is different from that of cities. In the countryside, there are many houses. In addition to the Spring Festival couplets, there are two connected sugarcane with red paper on both sides of the door called Mensugarcane. the dialect sugarcane is close to jia, which means to enter a good time. In the hall, there are every other year's table of rice, long-term vegetables and steamed cakes, and spring branches tied red and yellow paper inserts, which means a year-round meal of abundance, good luck and prosperity. Families have to pile the branches of potato vine and firewood outside the door and light it until their smoke surrounds the fire. People jump over this fire according to generations, saying. If you jump in, you will be rich every year; if you jump out, you will be carefree; if you jump over the east, the grains will not be empty; if you jump over the west, money and silver will roll in. This is called the upper fire group, which symbolizes burning away the evil of the old year, eliminating disasters and good luck, and ushering in a clean and prosperous new year. At the fire dance group, it is necessary to clean the hall with a new broom. After sweeping, the broom is placed with a bucket of water and garbage is piled up by the door in the hope that it will come out of the broom and help make a fortune. It was also necessary to collect some of the leftover ashes from the jumping fire and add them to the charcoal stove, called the sky net, to symbolize greater prosperity. Parents have their children sit around the fireplace, which is known as guarding their old age around the fire. It s better to stay up all night. It s said this is to add longevity to the parents. At this time, the elders give the younger generation new year's money, which is called dividing the circle. With the progress of society and the accelerated pace of life, some cumbersome customs in rural Minnan are gradually abolished, but the custom of farmers looking forward to a good year still exists. Especially around the stove in the cold winter of the waxing moon, the whole family sitting around the warmth of a small fireplace to drink and talk, describing how warm and happy it is to look forward to the future in the later years.
