Now, with the development of economy and the emancipation of mind, some customs and habits can no longer be seen in cities, but in relatively traditional rural areas, villagers still abide by them. Let's talk about the customs and rules in our countryside.
1, even.
In fact, according to our local dialect, it is called "Jing", which means that on the first day of the New Year, villagers have to get up early on the fifth day to cook jiaozi and eat jiaozi. Pay New Year greetings to parents and uncles first, and then visit the village to pay New Year greetings to senior villagers, usually several brothers. That scene is simply!
2. kowtow
Nowadays, New Year greetings are paid with both hands in most areas, but in our hometown, there is a custom of kowtowing, that is, kowtowing to the elders during the New Year greetings. The whole village is paralyzed, and my knee hurts.
3. Married daughters can't go back to their parents' home for the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, married daughters are not allowed to live in their parents' homes. There is really no way to live with other relatives. It is considered unlucky that a married daughter will celebrate the New Year at her parents' home.
4. On the second day of the lunar calendar, the daughter will go back to her parents' home.
Everyone may know that "On February 2nd, the dragon looks up" expresses the meaning of villagers praying for rain. In my hometown, there is another saying: "February 2, pancakes are spread;" She can't stand it when prostitutes don't come. "
On the second day of the second lunar month, my daughter will go back to her mother's house to help her spread pancakes. However, there is not so much attention now. After all, many people go out to work now, not at home.
