First, the customs of Wuxi
1, dust eaves
As the saying goes, "17- 18, the more dust, the more dust." People will inevitably encounter some troubles in a year, so when welcoming the New Year at the end of the year, folk customs will use "dust off the eaves" to sweep away their bad luck, hoping to usher in good luck with a new look in the new year. This custom also purifies the environment at home, killing two birds with one stone.
2. Send the stove
The folk custom is that on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, family members will pay tribute to the Kitchen God in the shrine on the kitchen wall, and give him "Kitchen God Sugar" made of caramel and flour, which means that the Kitchen God will have a sweet mouth and only say good things the day after tomorrow, and a couplet will be posted under the shrine: "Do good in the sky, and the next world will be peaceful."
Step 3 steam rice cakes
Wash rice at home the day before the rice cake is steamed and grind it into powder with a stone mill. The powder pulled by the stone mill is made into small slices, which are called "peach petals". This powder is of the best quality.
When steaming cakes, first light incense in front of the stove, hall and living room and close the door. After the first cage cake is baked, before preparing for processing, break off a large piece by hand, put it in a cup and put it in the above three places. At this time, the candlelight shines in the home, and the cigarettes are lingering and steaming. At this time, all the people in the family will taste a piece of rice cake.
