Taboo 1: No red envelopes.
Adults should give red envelopes to their children's descendants. Adults are married men and women. Entangled, can married teenagers still receive red envelopes? After all, there is progress to achieve financial balance! Ha ha!
Taboo 2: Don't say disrespectful words.
New Year's Eve is also called "Ji Xiangye". On this night, adults and children should say auspicious words, not swearing and disrespectful words, and avoid swearing, shouting and crying children; According to legend, this attitude is disrespectful to the gods, and the parties may have bad luck for a year. Therefore, in case Xiong Haizi is naughty again, parents must not be angry!
You can't say anything unlucky on New Year's Eve, such as "broken", "dead", "sick", "lost". If you accidentally make a taboo, you must spit it out, and then say "children's words are unscrupulous" to resolve it. Friendly reminder, remember to wipe the floor after vomiting.
Taboo 3: Say "Yes" when you are full.
The elders add vegetables to the younger generation. If they are full and don't want it, they can't say "no" but "yes". If a few tea fruits are finished, you should say "I'm very happy" or "too much", but you can't just say "no". It can be regarded as "New Year's Eve homework", and adults should teach children to say it to show celebration and good luck.
Taboo 4: Stop at the door and don't eat in a hurry.
It is said that in ancient China, before dinner on New Year's Eve, we had to prepare sacrifices for our ancestors. Before inviting Zuling, family members and belongings must be complete. When offering sacrifices to ancestors, don't shout the child's name, lest the ownerless ghost outside the gate hear it and cause the child to die. When having a formal meal, people are forbidden to drop in, because this is called "stepping on New Year's Eve", which will make the whole family fidgety. For this article, I can only say, listen and listen!
Taboo 5: "Shounian" is particular.
After the New Year's Eve, there is a custom of keeping the New Year's Eve. The whole family got together, talked about the old and the new, and talked about their best wishes, and stayed up all night. "Shounian" taboo loud, so as not to wake the devil; Don't look in the mirror, lest you see the "devil"; It is forbidden to spill lamp oil on the ground. If the smell of oil dilutes the smell of wine, the "devil" will wake up and lead to disaster. After reading this article, I sincerely remind you that you must prepare more beer, red wine and so on. Have a drink and have a good year!
Taboo 6: You can't put the word "Fu" upside down.
You can't put the word "fu" upside down on the door. The gate is a place to welcome blessings, and the word "blessing" should be affixed. The place where the word "Fu" is posted upside down is generally the water tank, trash can and cabinet at home. If your door is facing the neighbor's door, please be sure to hang two Chinese knots on the door frame outside your door to avoid disadvantages.
Taboo 7: Don't draw water.
This article is only aimed at the giants with wells at home! People who have a well at home should "seal the well" before dusk on New Year's Eve, add a wooden cover on the well, burn incense and worship, and then open the cover for reuse three days later. Therefore, it is necessary to store several large cans of water in advance, or buy several boxes of pure water for later use.
Taboo 8: Avoid dumping sewage and garbage.
Avoid dumping sewage, garbage, littering and defecating anywhere on New Year's Eve. It is said that if you are not careful, it will spill on the immortal, and the immortal's anger will bring disaster to people. How to solve it? Find a big trash can and save it for the first day.
Taboo 9: Avoid darkness.
During the vigil on New Year's Eve, the lights should be on all night to avoid darkness. It means a bright future in the coming year. Suddenly, I remembered that fancy advertising slogan, "Only one degree of electricity is needed in one night". Since there is only one New Year's Eve dinner every year, don't be afraid to waste electricity, just once anyway.
Taboo 10: the paste should be dumped in time.
On New Year's Eve, you can't leave the paste left over from stick grilles's couplets. There is a saying that if you leave the paste, you will become more and more confused in the next year. The paste here refers to homemade flour. Keep this bottle of glue. After all, we should save energy and protect the green earth!
Taboo 1 1: Don't boil medicine and take medicine.
On New Year's Eve, if there is a patient at home, the patient should stop taking the medicine temporarily, and the dregs fried at home years ago must be thrown away, so it is said that this will be beneficial to the health of the next year. Although this is an old rule, I still want to say that you should take medicine when you are sick. After all, modern medicine is more scientific!
Taboo 12: Furniture is forbidden to be damaged.
Broken families in the family should be dealt with, thrown away and repaired. Then never sit in a rocking chair. I think this article is mainly about risk prevention. After all, the probability of falling from a broken chair is quite high!
Taboo 13: avoid debt.
Remember to pay off your debts before the new year. If you have been in debt for the New Year, do everything possible to prevent the other party from going to the government for debt collection, or you will have bad luck for a whole year. This spell is character, whether it is one or two, or 865438+ million. Really owe people money, remember to pay it back!
Taboo 14: Avoid taking a bath after night.
Take a bath before evening and dry your clothes. Don't get wet in the new year. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you really don't wash it. Everyone is happy to play cards, drink and have fun.
Taboo 15: Avoid wearing dark clothes.
Wear new clothes with festive colors and patterns, and avoid wearing dark clothes.
Taboo 16: Do not break utensils.
People believe that if plates and cups are broken on this day, it will mean "bad luck" in the new year. Sometimes on this day, the cups and plates are accidentally broken, and the elders will quickly wrap them in red paper and recite auspicious words such as "Peace through the years" to remedy them. In ancient times, people thought that putting pieces wrapped in red paper on the sacred case for a few days could resolve possible disasters. Hehe, it seems that we still need to prepare some red paper.
Taboo 17: Eating jiaozi cannot be out of date.
Jiaozi must eat the New Year's Eve dinner until midnight (23:00~0 1:00). The New Year's Eve dinner must be: jiaozi and wonton, which means "money is rolling" and must be wrapped up at midnight; Fish means "more than one year"; Hot pot means "booming"; Leek means "long"; The rice cake means "step by step" and so on. Everyone who is afraid of obesity, don't think about losing weight at this critical moment, let go and eat!
Taboo 18: Avoid eating fish heads and fish tails.
Fish is a must for Chinese New Year. When eating fish, leave the head and tail behind, which means that there will be not only food and clothing, but also a surplus in the coming year. It suddenly occurred to me that taboo four, you can't throw garbage on New Year's Eve, so let the rest of the fish head and tail go first!
Introduction of New Year's Eve custom
First, go to the grave to worship ancestors.
In the morning or afternoon of New Year's Eve, you must go to Fenshan to burn paper and kowtow to your ancestors. This custom has a long history and has been respected by people since ancient times. Sacrificing ancestors during the Spring Festival is a traditional folk custom in China.
Second, make a series of speeches.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, we usually follow adults to visit our elders' uncles' homes, chat and resign. After we go, they will also come to our home as a reward. This custom is quite popular in our hometown, and it is still quietly implemented.
Third, stay up late.
I think when I was a child, my grandparents stayed up all night on New Year's Eve, or sat in a chair and took a nap around the stove. Later I learned that this is one year old. In fact, we followed together until the end, and we couldn't help falling asleep. When I woke up, it was already New Year's Day. Therefore, in the past, firecrackers were set off on the morning of New Year's Day. Generally, many people don't go out because they have to sleep at home. However, the phenomenon of ensuring old age is relatively rare now. After afternoon 12, we set off firecrackers and went to bed.
