Spring Festival is commonly known as "Xinzheng". On the first day of the first month of the first month, people get up at dawn, wear new clothes, worship their ancestors, and open the door to set off firecrackers, which is called "Kaizheng". At the end of 1994, firecrackers were banned in urban areas, which was vulgar and abandoned, but the countryside remained the same. After the housewife cooks sweet noodle soup and worships the gods, everyone will eat it and pray for the happiness and longevity of the whole family. Then, three bowls of rice with red paper flowers, commonly known as "spring branches of rice", were sacrificed to ancestors, praying that the family would have enough food to spare. Then pay a New Year call;
say "congratulations" to your elders, relatives and friends, and neighbors; The host's family used bamboo boxes (commonly known as "recommendation boxes") to hold sweets, cakes and preserves, and soaked them in sweet tea to warmly entertain the guests. Close relatives and friends, the host treats them with delicious food and wine, which is called "Spring Festival wine". When the guests leave, both parties give "red envelopes" (lucky money) and even numbers of oranges to the children. Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty has a saying in Zhuzhici: "Spring on New Year's Day is the first year, and everyone will accompany him with a gift. Children also say congratulations, earning red oranges full of sleeves. " ;
Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first lunar month, is commonly known as "Shangyuan Festival". Ming, use wood to make a lamp stand or knot a lamp shed in a busy place, and try the lamp at eleven nights. Lamps are made of yarn or paper, mixed with five colors, and the characters are extremely delicate, and some people in Yi Deng spend dozens of dollars. On the 14th and 15th, the streets were connected to the city, and it was as bright as a city of fire. Tourists come in an endless stream, or they enjoy fine music and walk slowly, and the flute strings are faint, which is called "walking the street" Children parade with boat lights, marching in the market, drumming and singing loudly;
Young people get together to compete in the Monk Temple with machine guns, fireworks and meteors scattered all over the place, and the audience is like a tide, especially in Izayoi. In the Qing Dynasty, in addition to making lanterns, setting up Aoshan Mountain and firing artillery, children also played fairy lions, bamboo horses and dragon lanterns. "Zhuzhici" chants Yuanxiao: "The lights in the city are arranged skillfully, and the scenery of Aoshan is beautiful. The northern tube and the southern cavity kept listening, and several times they drummed through the front street. " The newly married daughter-in-law stands under the lantern for anyone to watch;
To be a blessing, on the 15th day of the second lunar month, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the villages raise money and materials, prepare sacrifices to the earth gods, and after the sacrifice, the group drinks at the temple and leaves. Known as "doing blessings", there are few blessings now. However, the second day of February is the birthday of the kitchen prince, and every household worships the kitchen prince with cakes and candies, praying for the safety of the family and the prosperity of livestock (some families also provide land for the public). In the Qing Dynasty's Zhuzhici, it was said, "It has nothing to do with praying for agriculture to repay the soil. Drums and flutes are also played by the society. Recently, folk customs have been acting more, and the countryside has also sung classes outside the river."
