A year has passed, and adults and children are busy. It's really a pleasure to prepare new year's goods, clean the house and worship the ancestors! Sticking Spring Festival couplets is an essential project. Or do it yourself or entrust someone to do it for you, and write the harvest of one year and the hope of the next year into this small Spring Festival couplets. Students, speaking of Spring Festival couplets, there is another story! Spring Festival couplets originated from the symbol of peach, which first appeared in the Zhou Dynasty. They are rectangular peach doors hanging on both sides of the gate. It is said that mahogany can kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. Because all the evil spirits in the world are afraid of "Shen Tu" and "Lei Yu" Er Shen, people carve them into peach trees and put them at home to ward off evil spirits. Later, people simply carved the names of the two gods on the mahogany board, thinking that this could also ward off evil spirits. This kind of peach board is called "peach symbol". During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, people began to write on peach symbols. On one occasion, Meng Changjun, the monarch of Shu, ordered the bachelor to write on the board on New Year's Eve. Because he couldn't see what the bachelor wrote, Meng Chang simply wrote "about every year, and the year of Jiazi is Changchun". This produced China's first Spring Festival couplets.
Always go home to see, go home to see, no matter how far away the wanderer is, hurry home to reunite with his family and eat the family reunion dinner carefully prepared by his parents. In the past, people called it New Year's Eve. The meal was eaten slowly into the night.
Watching the wonderful program of the Spring Festival Evening, surrounded by steaming hot pot, listening to the firecrackers outside the window, the family enjoyed family happiness. At this time, the happiest thing for children is that their elders will give lucky money. It is said that this practice existed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Lucky money is also called "lucky money" and "lucky money" because it is homophonic. Lucky money can suppress evil spirits and let children celebrate the New Year safely.
