“The end of the old calendar is most similar to the end of the year. Needless to say, the New Year’s atmosphere is also revealed in the sky. The gray and heavy evening clouds are flashing from time to time, followed by a dull sound, which is a firecracker for sending stoves; the nearby ones are even more intense, and the deafening loud sound is not yet calm, and the air is already filled with a subtle fragrance of gunpowder.” This is a scene depiction of Mr. Lu Xun’s lively atmosphere in the villages and towns in the pastKomiks href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks wrote Cinema. Reading it, it resonated with me. I really couldn’t forget the scene of celebrating the New Year in my childhood.
The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, legend is the day when God goes to heaven. The custom of Chaoshan folk is to use fried rice cakes as offerings to sacrifice. After eating fried rice cakes, I feel that the Spring Festival is coming soon. On the 27th and 8th day of the lunar calendar, each production team in the village organized manpower to “medicine fish”. CinemaThe so-called “medicinal fish” is to prepare “dew vine” (a toxic plant) in advance, mash it, then use a urine bucket to fill it with water, and finally pour the “dew vine” into the pond. After more than ten minutes, the fish turned over from the pond and was beaten all over by the fishing personnel. So the production team allocated fish according to the population of each household. Adults and children happily carried the fish home with bamboo baskets, and celebrated the Spring Festival where there were fish every year. On the morning of the 29th day of the lunar month, the 30th day of the lunar month, my father would ask me to be his helper and post the Spring Festival couplets to the portal. If you paste Spring Festival couplets, you will feel the brilliance of the brilliance, and the color of the flowers will be added to the door, and the flowers will feel joyful.
After lunch, the child started changing clothes and taking a bath. At this time, even the most sloppy children were scrambling to take a bath. In the spacious courtyard, my mother used her foot bucket to fill hot water to make the smallThe child sat naked inside, washing and rubbing. The child was scratched to the itchy place and smiled. The warm sunshine shone warmly into the courtyard, and everything seemed so comfortable. After taking a shower, the children put on their new clothes that had just been sunbathed in the sun, warmed up with warmth. When their parents gave them the New Year’s money, they were happy and happily bought Cinema, firecrackers, fireworks and the like, and had a lot of fun.
At around 4 pm, I worship my ancestors and pray for good weather, good harvests and peace for the whole family. Usually, I only eat at six or seven o’clock in the evening. I start eating at around five o’clock on New Year’s Eve. This is called having a reunion dinner. During the reunion dinner, the whole family “surrounded the fire” a table of dishes and ate delicious goose, chicken, big fish, tremella, ginkgo and other rare delicacies. At that time, there was no concept of weight loss, so everyone let go and eat big fish and meat. The devout grandma will also personally fold a few golden sheets of Babaylan into gold ingots, and then pray to the two doors of Cinema’s home for three prayers to the peace of the family. Then she Cinema tremblingly took several other “golden ingots”, a pair of big oranges and three incense sticks to the well.I kneel down and pay my respects, thank you for the Jinggong and Well Milk for giving us clean and sweet well water, so that we can live a happy life on Cinema.
On New Year’s Eve, the sound of firecrackersKomiks are coming one after another, and it’s so lively.
The next day was the first day of the first lunar month. After the ancestor worship in the morning, relatives and friends began to pay New Year’s greetings to each other. When going out, the parents’ meeting reminded them to bring a pair of big oranges (that is Chaozhou oranges) to make it a good fortune. CinemaWhen he arrived at the other party’s house, he gave him a big orange and said a greeting, such as “A great profit in the New Year, a happy family”, “A good fortune in the New Year, and a great source of wealth”. The other party also replied to the auspicious chant and replaced it with a pair of big oranges to express their good wishes. Later, people jokingly called this the “orange change exercise.”
With the development of the times, some customs for celebrating the New Year have been omitted or left behind, so people feel that there is less atmosphere of the New Year, and I will even more forget the scene of celebrating the New Year in my childhood.
