The custom of sunshine

One of the annual customs activities. In the morning of the first year of the New Year, we welcome the New Year and worship old gods. "Sui", also known as "She Ti" and "Tai Sui", is an epoch-making star name created in the era of the Yellow Emperor. Tai sui god is also a god of folk beliefs, with the chronology of 60 branches as the running cycle. Sixty people are on duty at the age of one. The Tai sui god who was on duty in that year was called "Tai sui" and was the one-year-old master, who was in charge of the good and bad luck of the world in that year.

Step 2 gather wealth

It is said that the first day of the first month is the birthday of a broom, so you can't use a broom on this day, otherwise it will ruin your fortune, attract a "broom star" and cause bad luck. If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep it from the outside to the inside. Don't throw water on the garbage on this day, for fear of breaking the money. Today, many places still have the custom of cleaning up New Year's Eve. On the first day of New Year's Day, there was no broom or garbage, and a large barrel of wastewater was prepared to avoid splashing outside that day.

Step 3 burn door paper

Burn the gatekeeper paper. On the third day of the old days, pine and cypress branches were burned together with the door-god stationery hung on the festival to show that the new year had passed and it was time to start business again. As the saying goes, "if you burn the janitor's paper, one will seek physiology." People think that Xiaomi was born on the third day of the first month, which is a day to pray for the New Year.

Step 4 take a five-minute break

Many taboos can be broken after folklore tells them on this day. According to the old custom, you should eat "dumplings" for five days, which is called "boiled cakes" in the north. Now some families only eat it for three or two days, and some eat it every other day. However, there is no one who does not eat.

5, people win the festival

According to the ancient customs collected in Nianzhan, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is called People's Day, which is also called People's Victory Day, People's Celebration Day, Population Day and People's Seventh Day. Legend has it that Nu Wa created chickens, dogs, pigs, cows, horses and other animals at the beginning of creation, and then created people on the seventh day, so this day is the birthday of mankind.
