Is there anything particular about going out to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival? Who are you going to see on the second and third days of the first grade?
On the first day, no relatives, no New Year greetings. We all celebrate New Year's Eve, and the family sit around and have a reunion dinner. According to the rules handed down by our ancestors, we are vegetarian on the first day of school and don't eat greasy meat. We eat dumplings in the morning and noodles at noon and evening. On the first day of the first year, every household is earlier than others. Whoever sets off firecrackers earlier means that the more diligent that family is, the faster the fortune will change in the coming year and will make a fortune. After eating dumplings, the family joined all the families of their parents and brothers and went up the mountain to worship their ancestors. One by one, the ancestral graves worship, bow, burn incense, burn paper, light candles, light firecrackers, and set off firecrackers. According to tradition, you still have to kowtow. Now Class One is a kowtowing child. After the ancestral graves are worshipped, they are free to move. Some people go to the township market to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, watch plays, movies and folk art, and some people gather friends to play cards and chat. In short, I don't visit relatives on the first day, so I can arrange the whole day freely.
The next day, I officially went to my father-in-law's house to pay a New Year call. On the second day of the official New Year call, the first choice is my father-in-law's house, which is close to walking and cycling and far from driving. According to the traditional rules, I will leave for my father-in-law's house the next day. If the distance is too far, it is another matter. When visiting my father-in-law's house for New Year's greetings, it is generally traditional to bring the best pork, which can be three Jin, five Jin or ten Jin, depending on your own situation. If the children are older, they can go directly to pay New Year greetings to their grandparents, and adults can not go. But it is rare to get together several times a year. Generally, if you are not too lazy or too busy, adults will go to avoid others gossiping.
On the third day, menstruation paid a New Year call. According to the distance between relatives and friends, I went to my children's aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings on the third day. If the child has no aunt, I will go to the child's aunt's house to pay a New Year call. In the past, both the children's aunts and aunts were very close, and they all needed to bring meat, but the weight was less than going to the father-in-law's house. Now the concept has changed, and every family is not short of meat, so they buy things sold in supermarkets, such as high-end drinks and fruits. Generally, the more intimate, the greater the weight, and many times it is a double gift.
We are all like this in the first day, second day and third day here, which may be different from many places. What's it like there?
Coordinate the custom of New Year greetings in Yongnian District, Handan, Hebei Province. The elders in the first village get up at four o'clock, eat at four thirty, kowtow to their parents, go out at five o'clock to pay New Year greetings to their elders, and then the elders in the neighborhood pay New Year greetings. Generally, at seven o'clock, they kowtow all the time, and their backs are sore and their legs are weak! Then go to the grave to worship the ancestors and lie down and sleep when you come back. After the first day, I began to pay New Year greetings to my uncles, aunts and other relatives the next day, which basically took another day. On the third day, local customs do not go out, and you can take a day off. Continue on the fourth day, one more day for relatives. In addition, friends, classmates and comrades can exchange visits to pay New Year greetings. The custom of paying New Year greetings handed down from the older generation is still kowtowing, which is really tiring, but no one can change it, so we can only continue!
During the Spring Festival, we pay attention to whose house we go on the first day, the second day and the third day, but different places have different customs.
As the saying goes, a hundred miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs!
I come from a small place in Guangxi, very south. Where we are, we are very picky about who we go to on the first day, the second day and the third day.
First of all, let's talk about the customs of grade one. You can stop by on the first day, but you can only eat at your own home.
On the first day of every year, after burning incense, worshipping Buddha and setting off firecrackers early in the morning, every household is sent out by the whole family to pay New Year's greetings, that is, to pay New Year's greetings! The purpose of children's New Year's greetings is to get red envelopes, and the purpose of adults' New Year's greetings is to give red envelopes. Men, women and children are holding red envelopes, and our name is Lili. Profitability is smooth, and a red envelope is a good thing.
We are in the village here, and our relatives and friends live very close. We basically left our relatives in one morning to celebrate the New Year.
At this time, we will go back to our home and find our mother. It's necessary to go home. Take the lottery home! ~ If someone invites you to dinner on this day, you can skip it. During the Spring Festival, you can only eat in your own home. If we eat at someone else's house, it's equivalent to going to someone else's house with a lottery head. Other people don't like you going to their house for dinner, because they are worried that you will take away their good lottery.
Secondly, our custom is to visit her family the next day!
On the second day of every year, the market here is very lively, because many women will go back to their parents' home on this day and need to buy gifts to go home.
On our side, either the wife goes back to her mother's house by herself or the husband and wife go back together. The wife went back alone, probably because her in-laws and sisters came back. Husbands should stay at home and entertain their sisters. Otherwise, my husband will go to my mother-in-law's house.
At the end of the year, my husband seldom goes to his parents' house. At this time, the husband needs to go to his parents' home to contact his feelings.
Then, the custom of our third day here is to pay a New Year call to a friend's house.
On the third day, people who stayed at home for two days can go to other people's homes to eat and drink from this day on. From grade one to grade seven, we don't work there, except for eating, drinking and having fun. On the second day of the New Year's Day, I went out to my parents' home. From the third day, I basically ate at other people's homes or invited others to eat at my own home.
I still remember when I was very young, I went to other uncles' houses with my parents, and I always brought meat and fruit. It's different now. When visiting others, it's basically some good wine or nothing, just bring a red envelope.
In fact, although many places have money, they all have the same purpose, that is, to contact relatives and friends.
When I was a child, my parents slipped out of the warm bed at three or four o'clock in the morning of the first day, and I went out with my father to pay New Year greetings. Generally speaking, they go to their elders and peers' homes to pay New Year greetings, and then go to more suitable neighbors' homes to pay New Year greetings. After this turn, it will be dawn. The whole village has basically visited, and then I will go home to eat jiaozi. Here, the first day of jiaozi is rich, (that is, coins are wrapped in jiaozi. Two cents, five cents and ten cents. Now the conditions are good. Some families wrap 100 50 yuan with plastic wrap to make their children happy. Whoever eats it will have it.
