1. The boy or girl who unlocked the lock put a bucket on his head, hung a chain, locked it with three ordinary iron locks, and then tied a pillar of fire to three white steamed buns. Grandma and grandma on both sides smashed it with a rolling pin three times (if grandma and grandma died, it might be other elders at the same level), and then there were three people: uncle (aunt), father and aunt (uncle).
2. My uncle or uncle is holding a huge broom, and the broom is covered with objects made of copper coins (in recent years, because copper coins are scarce, they have been replaced by coins of ten cents, fifty cents and one yuan), red dates and red cloth strips. The unlocked child ran in front, and my uncle patted the child while chasing behind. Objects fell down one by one, scrambling to get into a ball with other children behind.
3. Before unlocking a lock, you should usually find a teacher of Yin and Yang to choose a "good day" in advance, and paste a "shelf" in advance-one is a yellow hexagonal star made of "millet grass Rib" and the other is a "flower shoe" made of five-color paper. In addition, some have to prepare some "gold ingots", five-color paper, yellow label paper, silver paper and so on. And burned it to grandma on the day of unlocking to thank grandma for her protection for more than ten years.
The above is the custom of unlocking in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, which reflects the local people's attention and good wishes for their children's growth.
