Do you eat New Year's Eve in Shaoyang, Hunan? Why?
I don't know if everyone mistook him for the concept of New Year's Eve, but the concept of getting rich on the first day of the first month. Anyway, in my memory, in the customs of Shaoyang, Hunan, the New Year's Eve must be eaten between 19:00-20:00. I can say responsibly that Shaoyang (except remote mountainous areas and some ethnic minorities) generally eats New Year's Eve dinner.
In the customs of Shaoyang people, the "hearty meal" on the first day of the New Year is eaten earlier. Usually between 5: 00 and 7: 00 on the first day of the first month. Therefore, there is no other special significance in choosing a "hearty meal" at this time. Eating a "hearty meal" from 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning is to prepare for receiving friends and relatives in advance to avoid the embarrassment that friends and relatives are still eating a "hearty meal" when they come to visit the New Year.
In Shaoyang, Hunan, the customs are different in the morning and evening. In Shaoyang city and its vicinity, the New Year's Eve is chosen in the evening, while in our hometown (Xinshao, Xinhua and Lianyuan), the New Year's Eve is eaten before dawn (around 4 am). I remember when I was a child, before the New Year's Eve, the whole family got up and held a sacrificial ceremony. They first moved the table to the terrace outside the main hall, put more abundant food, wine and rice to worship the world, and then carried it into the shrine of the main hall to worship their ancestors. Don't open the door until the family has finished eating. It is said that it is unlucky that the New Year's Eve is smashed by outsiders. Everyone knows that any family that doesn't open the door will not visit. Why is there a custom of eating New Year's Eve in the early morning? Legend has it that you are afraid of debt collection. There has always been a tradition of paying off the annual accounts. Economic transactions in a year, such as wages and debts, were not settled before the year, only on the last day of the year. Remember that parents and grandparents are poor helpers, and sometimes they come back late on New Year's Eve. Why is the New Year's Eve not in the evening but in Ling? According to the Chinese teacher in junior high school (in the early 1960s), people in the former dynasty had a hard time, and only during the Chinese New Year did they try their best to get something good to eat (pork, chicken and fish), so there was a legend that children spent the Chinese New Year (adults spent it in the fields). If you meet a creditor, you will accuse him of "having money for the New Year and not paying his debts", and you will take away all the delicious food to pay off his debts, and finally you won't even be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Therefore, there is a custom of having New Year's Eve dinner in the early hours of the morning to ensure good food all year round.
Most farmers in Hunan Province have New Year's Eve dinner in the morning. In the morning, housewives must prepare big fish and meat on the first day of New Year's Eve. Children at home don't get up, and they are afraid that children will swear and say unlucky things when they worship God. ) Put the semi-finished wine and meat rice on the table in front of the main shrine and burn incense. After the worship ceremony, set off firecrackers. The instrument test is over. Just put the big fish and meat in the kitchen, make a big New Year's Eve dinner, put the dishes on the stage and make a lively opening.
I remember when I was a child, I looked at the food on the table and drooled, and I had to kneel down and worship. I was young and ignorant, and I couldn't understand it at all.
