What is the custom of Japanese New Year?
On this festival, people will give their children and relatives' children some pocket money, which is called Yu Nian in Japanese (equivalent to China's lucky money). This is the busiest season for toy stores, because they want to attract children to spend their jade. Japanese people pay special attention to the New Year, and every year 65438+February 29th-65438+1October 3rd is a national holiday. The Japanese call 65438+February 3 1 "Great Dark Day", that is, New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the Japanese call it "New Year's Eve". At night, they pray for the gods to send away the troubled old year and usher in a beautiful new year. This is the so-called "first day". At midnight on New Year's Eve, temples in urban and rural areas rang bells 108 to exorcise evil spirits, while the Japanese sat quietly listening to the "Night Bell". When the bell stops, it means the arrival of a new year. People leave their seats and go to bed, hoping to have a good dream. On New Year's morning, families sit around and tell each other about their dreams on New Year's Eve to test good luck or bad luck. The Japanese call the first day of New Year's Day "Zhengri". 1-3 is "Three Congratulations Day". On Sunday, the younger generation will go to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to relatives and friends' home to pay New Year's greetings. The New Year is still a "eating" festival, and people all over the world pray for good luck by eating their own food. On "Zhengri" day, the Japanese will have a big breakfast, including sugar, soba noodles and Tu Su wine. After that, they went vegetarian for three days in a row to show their piety and pray for good luck in the coming year. At present, most urban people in Japan give up vegetarian food in the New Year and eat a hollow noodle at the "night show" to wish them health and longevity in the new year.
About 80 million people took part in the visit. On the morning of New Year's Day, the whole family arranged to drink Tu Su wine in turn from young to old, and taste herring roe, black beans and dried fish cooked with slightly sweet soy sauce. It is said that these auspicious foods will bring prosperity and health to future generations.
The Japanese call the first day of New Year's Day "Zhengri", and the day 1 month 1 to 3 is called "Sanhe Day". On Sunday, the younger generation will go to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to relatives and friends' home to pay New Year's greetings. I am used to eating rice cake soup, which the Japanese call "miscellaneous cooking".
During the Spring Festival, a straw rope or a circle made of straw rope is often pulled up above the door of every household, which is called "banknote-linked rope" or "banknote-linked decoration". Some also put some pine and bamboo, which is called "door pine". Many companies set up memorial archways with pine, bamboo and plums, which are novel in design and unique in style to celebrate. People also put paper-cuts of animals symbolizing longevity inside and outside the house, such as cranes and turtles, to pray for peace. At the same time, according to the zodiac, carve a new year and give gifts to each other.
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications also issued a large number of "New Year stamps" with pictures of the New Year. Whether individuals or groups, exchanging New Year cards has become the most popular way to congratulate each other. The Japanese call it a "flying kite", which means deep affection in the distance. Whoever receives more new year cards in the new year will feel that the new year has a bright future, prosperous wealth and special joy. In the new year, the habit of visiting New Year among neighbors, relatives, friends and children is still prevalent. The first sentence when we meet is "Happy New Year".
