Legend has it that there are many folk customs, which are common stories for many years. I chose this story, and the outline of the story is this: A long time ago, there was no big village in the beautiful mountain where Yangshan was fixed. In the village and the small stone house on the hillside, there lived a young man named Nian. Poor family, chopping wood and digging medicine for a living. The seasonality is so chaotic that farmers can't farm. Nian is a calculating young man who wants to set a good season, but he doesn't know where to start.
One day, Nian went up the mountain to cut firewood and sat down under a tree to have a rest. The moving shadow inspired him. He made a sundial and measured the shadow to calculate the length of the day. However, the effects of fog, cloudy skies and clouds are considered measurable. He wants to make some timing devices to make up for the lack of a good sundial. That day, he went up the mountain to dig medicine and came to the spring to drink water. The rhythm of the cliff ticking in spring caught his attention. He looked at the fountain of God. I thought for a while, came home, drew a picture, tried it, and got five leaky pots. From then on, he measured the sun shadow, looked for leaks, and Roi did due diligence. Slowly, he found that every 360 days, the length of a day would be repeated from the beginning. The shortest day in winter solstice. Then, the emperor's name was Zu Ti, and he was in a hurry to summon officials to meet the seasonal diseases of storms. The official name of the season is Aheng, and I don't know the method of the sun and the moon. In other words, people inadvertently offend the gods in everything they do. Only a pious kneeling sacrifice can get God's forgiveness. Zu Chongzhi fasted and bathed, invited temple officials to worship, spread to the whole country, and established a paradise for the unit. But offering sacrifices, the effect is not ideal, usually seasonal at sixes and sevens; People around the altar, in order to build and serve, but also donate money, it is really bile mixed with coptis chinensis, adding it is very bitter. I finally couldn't help it for years. He brought a sundial and a clepsydra. A few years ago, I met the emperor and said that during the winter solstice, the sun and the moon talked about the running cycle. Joe was overjoyed when he heard this. Even in large-scale construction, the sun and the moon were built on the sundial platform in front of the Temple of Heaven Park, which led to the construction of the Leaky Pot Pavilion. It can also help boys to keep the sundial for twelve years and six years, and six boys to keep leaky cauldron, carefully recording and reporting in time.
One day, Zuyi Riyuege asked Aheng to consult a calendar. For years, he pointed to the grass and said. "The sunrise is 360, and there are two vegetation cycles in 10 year." The reason why Aheng fell asleep disturbed him. He thought to himself: If the season is set in the right year, Zhu Yuanzhang will be happy and reuse it for a hundred years. Who will listen to my balance? Aheng thought and thought, and got rid of it wholeheartedly. One day, Ahenry inquired about filming, sent someone home, gave a banquet, explained the reason, and promised to send a new gift. The assassin promised to assassinate and arrived overnight. Two drums sounded in the sky, but Aheng, the assassin left by the carnival, ran to the Sun and Moon Shrine. But around the Temple of Heaven, you have strict guards, not close to the assassin sun and the moon, bows and arrows, a positive outlook on life, the moon and the court shooting astrological years. Who knows that the assassin drank too much, his eyes were blank, and the arrow hit the young man's arm. Alas, Nian soon fell to the ground, killing the thief boy. Who heard the shouts, together out of the guard, catch the assassin, twist to see the emperor. Zu asked the truth, which indicated that a certain value would be imprisoned, but he couldn't bear to visit Sun Moon Lake House. Over the past few years, I was very moved, pointing to Shen Xing and saying, "Shen Xing has caught up with silkworms, and astrology has resumed. Every midnight, the old year ends, and time and spring begin. I hope the emperor will make a chapter. " Zu said. "beginning of spring, whose name is Spring Festival travel rush and Ai Qinggui, hasn't been lifted for three years. I really made the lunar calendar look like it now, and my palace has been restored." Come on, say, "although the embryonic lunar calendar is not accurate, because the tail won't touch this at the end of this year, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and everything is wrong." Calendar. Robinson has hope for all beings and is favored by the emperor. The sun and the moon are willing to break their hearts, calculate carefully and set the calendar accurately. "
Therefore, in the palace of the sun and the moon for many years, we have carefully observed the ups and downs of wheat bran and calculated it carefully. Run the tail within one month of the end of the year. On that day, the ancestors offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, offered sacrifices to the gods to strike the market, boarded the Sun Moon Pavilion, and gave gifts for the Year of Peach in May. In 2000, the lunar calendar suggested that ancestors fought day and night for many years before finding it. White eyebrows should also be white, deeply moved. It is called the lunar calendar, and the moon also marks the longevity of a year. In this case, it is also called the Spring Festival. In China, during the New Year, birthday photos are often hung on houses, which is a symbol of prolonging life in the New Year and paying tribute to homesickness.
A folk custom-Spring Festival couplets. Spring Festival couplets are an indispensable part of the activities. As early as before the Spring Festival, the streets were crowded with hawkers shouting Spring Festival couplets for several days. The couplets placed in the booth are dazzling, which makes people overwhelmed. Every blessing is written on the Spring Festival couplets, but each has its own merits and is full of fun. Some wrote on the banner: "Liu Jiangnan is green, and the wind and rain urge the flowers in the north", and some wrote on the Spring Festival couplets: "Mountains and rivers can be seen everywhere, and every household is rich every year." In just a few words, I wrote a New Year greeting to make life better.
Grandpa said that the Spring Festival couplets in China have a long history. Wang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in Yuan Ri: "Apart from firecrackers, thousands of primary school students in Qian Qian were warmly touched, and new peaches were exchanged for old ones." The new peach and the old word in this poem are the rudiments of rolling. As a unique literary form, a pair of couplets on Spring Festival couplets has developed from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to more than a thousand years, but its heyday is still in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the legendary capital of Nanjing was established by the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, on New Year's Eve the year before last, Jinling issued a decree: "The upper house must add a couplet to the door." On New Year's Eve, he personally told the truth about the body in plain clothes. Once, he found a pair of couplets without Spring Festival couplets and asked a pig if he knew how to operate what he wrote. Hearing the emperor's words, I pondered for a while, because the pig was linked to the topic: "Hands are born separately; The knife cuts the root. " Therefore, once Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang popularized and developed scrolls, he made remarkable contributions in the same industry. In Kangxi and Qianlong, couplets became more and more perfect. No matter from the content form, there are certain levels. Kangxi is also related to the author, and Zhenjiang Jinshan Qifeng Pavilion connects his problem, that is, a pair of good sentences: "The charm of the West Garden is early, the rain comes, and the building is full" has entered a new era. This ancient evergreen tree will show its charming style in the new century.
Two people.-the caretaker. Goalkeepers also have the same status, and they are also necessary items to roll a spring, but with the development of culture, they are few and far between. Personally, I think it should be because of the weakness of door reform in modern architecture. It is difficult for a goalkeeper to find a place here and gradually dissipate. After some searching, I finally saw it listening to and selling paintings. This is a portrait of the tea god and Lei Yu. They are armed with Strafe, iron mace and a huge mane trend belt. Through the information, I know that in ancient times, the two brothers of Lei Yu lived in Moon Mountain. Pick berries, peaches, that kind of life. There is a peach tree on the Moon Mountain, which is shaded by trees. One day, the ghost king wanted to steal some peaches. He let the kid pick, and the two brothers who were beaten, the ghost king, showed his true colors in a rage. In the evening, two brothers broke into the house. Two brothers, the cool and gentle ghost king, feed him to the tiger and the ghost will kneel down to them. Every morning, they will check this peach ghost. If you have a bad habit of harming others and not benefiting yourself, tie it to the tiger. Later, people painted two mahogany panels of Shencha, and Lei Yu's portrait was hung on both sides of the door to drive away evil spirits.
Folklore-work grid. China is an ancient art, handicraft art and a beautiful folk art with a long history. It is rooted in the people and has been loved by people for nearly two thousand years. As a part of folk art, the vitality of folk lies in its existence and development. Today, its vitality has always been a big display screen. Whether ancient or modern, with a pair of scissors and a short article, you can cut out paper-cut works with a strong flavor of life. Animals such as dogs and sheep enter the zodiac, and everyone's incisiveness is similar to the seven wonders of nature. On this festive day of spring, we will be able to see a unique paper-cut work-window grilles on every window of every family.

Folklore-pictures. In addition to posting Spring Festival couplets at the door, hanging the door gods, stick grilles, and paying New Year's greetings is also a major event. This is a photo of every household, which adds a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere to some photos. In the past, every household's Spring Festival and private rooms at the gate were full of colorful and auspicious new year's goods. Why is the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year full of joy? Painting has played a certain role. Maybe rich people always like to hang birthday stars, purple stars, blessings, blessings, longevity words and so on in private rooms. Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and flowers and birds are also popular in nature. At present, there are more common fish lying on the lotus (a chubby doll with a big goldfish in her hand, even lying playing with flowers), Phoenix on the left (the picture shows a stand and colorful rocks, and two teenagers on the right are talking to each other), or More than a year, or describing The Legend of the White Snake, The Journey to the West and The Water Margin.
Folklore 5- some money. In any case, one thing is to return to the most anticipated Spring Festival and give lucky money to children. On New Year's Day, there is a widely circulated story. In ancient times, a demon reached out to touch a sleeping child on New Year's Eve. Children often cry, then have a headache and a fever, and become fools. Therefore, on this day, everyone sits under the lamp and doesn't sleep, which is called "following the footsteps".
Several older children are considered to be the most popular. On New Year's Eve, they were afraid that "worship" would hurt their children and spent eight coppers to play with them. The child fell asleep when he was tired of playing, so he wrapped eight coins in red paper under the pillow for the child, and the couple dared not sleep. Open the door at night, and the evil wind blows out the middle of the lamp. Miranda just reached out and touched the child's head. After beating the lamp on the pillow round and round, she was afraid. Miranda ran away. The next day, the couple wrapped eight coppers in red paper and panicked. I want to tell you about Miranda. We will learn to do it, and the children will get peace.
It turns out that eight coins are eight immortals, secretly used to protect children. Because "follow the shadow" and "year" are homophonic, it gradually evolved into "lucky money" In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was "composed of money and colored ropes, called lucky money, and told the elders to give some money to the children." So in some places, giving children lucky money is called "money string". In modern times, the evolution of Bai Wen coins is wrapped in red paper for young people, which means "longevity". The old schoolmate wrapped it in red paper and then put a silver dollar, which means "profitable". After that, the money becomes paper money, and the old people are more willing to connect to the sub-bank to exchange the voucher number of the new banknotes. Children want to "rise again and again". It is good to give lucky money, and it also expresses the tradition that the ancients had deep expectations for the next generation. But now parents are often generous, 102 one hundred or even thousands, which not only allows illegitimate children to spend money, but also allows them to develop financial habits and be more extravagant and wasteful. Therefore, when parents give their children too much lucky money, secondly, guide their children to use the money in the right place.
Folk custom 6- Chinese knot. They are worn in all the streets and lanes, and Chinese knots can be seen everywhere. It is said that Chinese knots were made by monks in their spare time, and then they were strung with precious Buddhist ornaments to form the word "Wang", which has been passed down to this day. Monks at that time, in order to embody their "single-minded" Buddha, used a thread sticking out of their ears to embody the belief of "supreme" and compiled the word "king". Later, gradually stepping into the society, the meaning of Chinese knot also changed China people's faith in affection, friendship and love, and the status of "wholehearted" and "supreme" symbolized the boss. From small to large, from coarse to fine, it reveals a big red Chinese knot with profound cultural heritage in China.
