Why is the seventh day of the first month of every year a holiday for everyone? May I ask you the origin of a day?
Some people began to observe daily customs in the Han dynasty, and they began to pay attention to it after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In ancient times, people had the custom of "men winning". Mansheng is a kind of headdress, also known as Cai Sheng and Huasheng. Since the Jin Dynasty, people cut the ribbon for flowers, cut the ribbon for people, or carved gold foil for people to hang a screen and wear it in their hair.
In addition, there is the custom of climbing high and writing poems. After the Tang Dynasty, more attention was paid to this festival. Every human day, the emperor would give his ministers a colorful victory, and they climbed up and gave a big banquet. If the weather is fine on the seventh day of the first month, the population will be safe and smooth in the first year.
On this day, people will eat "box dishes" (a kind of cooked food) of spring pancake rolls and spread pancakes in the yard to smoke the sky. Eat Qibao soup, soup made of seven kinds of vegetables, which people eat when they are alive, in order to get a good omen, saying that they can eliminate evil spirits and cure all diseases. Different places have different products, different fruits and vegetables and different meanings.
Mustard, cabbage, leek, spring vegetables, celery, garlic and thick-petalled vegetables used in Chaoshan, Guangdong; Hakka people use celery, garlic, onion, coriander and leek to match fish. Spinach, celery, onion and garlic, leeks, mustard greens, shepherd's purse and Chinese cabbage are used in Taiwan Province Province and Fujian Province. Among them, celery and onion are smart, garlic is good at calculating, mustard makes people live longer, and so on.
In the beautiful Shandong Peninsula, on the seventh day of the first month, children will also "send Vulcan". The child chooses a wooden stick about two meters long and binds it with wheat straw. This is the so-called Vulcan.
At dusk, one end of Vulcan is lit at home, and the children run away from home with the other end of Vulcan until it burns out. This activity means to send Vulcan out of the house, and there will be no fire in the house within one year, which is very safe.
