According to the custom of my hometown, after dinner, I will go up the mountain to collect firewood, sweep the floor and clean up, take a bath, and put up couplets on the door, which is about making a fortune and welcoming the new year. This day is busy and happy. On this day, our whole family, big and small, used hoes to dig wild vegetables in the fields (see photo later), which was very happy.
Thirty nights will burn very brightly, about thirty nights of fire and fifteen nights of lights. Take the meaning of wealth and light. Of course, the Spring Festival is also advancing with the times, and it is essential to watch the Spring Festival Gala around the stove. It stayed until the early hours of the morning, when the new year arrived at zero, deafening firecrackers sounded, gorgeous fireworks filled the sky, and there was a festive atmosphere for the New Year.
The most interesting thing is to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, and it is also very particular to pay New Year's greetings in your hometown. The rules are to worship Bodhisattva first, coffee (home) on the first day, Gaga (grandma) on the second day, menstruation on the third day, menstruation on the fourth day, sister's house on the sixth day, relatives and friends' house on the ninth day and other things on the tenth day.
It was robbed early on the first day of the lunar calendar. After the morning, I went to Dongyue Temple to worship the immortal bodhisattva. It is said that the temple is small, but it is very clever. From early morning until morning, men, women and children from Shiliba Village came to pay homage to each other.
After eating jiaozi in the morning of the first day, I paid a New Year call to my family. Adults and children put on new clothes, shuttle back and forth, pay New Year greetings to each other, and exchange greetings and blessings. Usually, children pay New Year greetings to adults, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to elders first, and the younger generation pays New Year greetings to elders first. Every time I go to a house, I say, "Happy New Year!" Then he went to the lobby to pay New Year's greetings. The host immediately came over and said, "Bai Mo, Bai Mo, it's the New Year when you come." Hurry up and hold the person who wants to pay a New Year call. Talking and laughing, making noise.
The first day is probably the happiest day for children. Some of them eat, drink, have fun, wear new clothes and take cloth for a ride during the New Year's greetings, but they really pay New Year's greetings everywhere. After worshipping the host, he always gives the children a handful of sweets, drinks, biscuits and snacks. The children always say "no", but the cloth has been unfolded. My baby is six years old, but this year is the first time to celebrate the New Year in my hometown. She bowed her head and took some snacks home to make her happy and said that she would come back for the New Year next year. This reminds me of me thirty years ago.
In the next few days, I paid a New Year call to my relatives and friends, but I haven't seen them for many years. When you meet them, you will naturally talk and get drunk.
