Etiquette and Taboo in Fuzhou Traditional Banquet

Transfer: Fuzhou One Plus One Digital 0591112.com.

Politeness in language. At the banquet, the guest came and the host said, "Excuse me, excuse me". What about the guest? Yu Shouqing said "longevity" with his fist and "health and longevity" in fashion; Other celebrations all say "Congratulations", only the funeral banquet. It is best for guests to express their grief silently, bow their heads and hold the host's hand, and say "take care" at most. There are thousands of words in it.

Even "silence is better than sound." At the banquet, the host advised him to say "Please think twice" and "Without good food, I was cheated by Nong" (I had to say "cheated" modestly because I received a red envelope from others); Guests say "eat well", not "finished" (unlucky) or "really full" (rude).

What to eat and what not to eat at the party. Fuzhou birthday banquet and other wedding banquets, there must be a bowl of Taiping banquet. Taipingyan is called a big dish. When you serve a big dish, you have to set off firecrackers and wait for the host to propose a toast. Before that, you can't move chopsticks. If there are children who don't know the rules, adults will stop them. This is waiting to be eaten. Not eating? Not eating is the last "whole fish". The whole fish has a head and a tail, with more symbols. Can I eat? If you don't eat it, it will be put away by the host as a "meal" (meal) in the later period of the festival or given to friends and relatives in the neighborhood.

The weight of vegetables and vegetables. Weddings, funerals, wedding banquets, after eating a dish, the dishes should not overlap, and the staff should not weigh it when they come to collect it. This is for fear of touching "heavy mourning" and "bigamy". In addition, most of the others can be heavy.

Suitable and inappropriate dishes. Pomfret can't be served at wedding banquets and "moon viewing" banquets, and orange pomfret and braised pomfret are not homophonic with "prostitute" and are not suitable; There must be a bowl of mutton at the funeral banquet, commonly known as "mutton buns". Because sheep know the grace of breastfeeding and have the behavior of kneeling to breastfeed, eating mutton shows filial piety. The wedding banquet needs a bowl of Taiping banquet, and now the first bowl of birthday banquet is fried noodles. Noodles are homophonic with life, and eating fried noodles symbolizes longevity.

Ai Yin (mother) can't be eighty. There is a swearing saying in Fuzhou that "do eighty according to milk", so it is either seventy-nine or eighty-one to give your mother a birthday; Even if I do it every year, I won't do it at the age of 80. Why is this? First of all, eighty is homophonic with "straight" (death) in Fuzhou dialect, and doing eighty means "straight". Secondly, it is said that Luo Yin's mother was fierce before her death and was sent to hell after her death, at the age of 80.

3 Festival Day:

Heng Chong said that Fuzhou people began to be busy with the New Year as early as December 24 of the lunar calendar. According to the tradition of Fuzhou people, no killing is allowed after the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, so the meat to be eaten in the first month must be prepared before that. At home, women hang the killed chickens and pigs on the ceiling, dry them, stew them, and put them in an urn to pickle them with wine and various ingredients.

Hou Hengchong said that such a jar of dishes is not only delicious on the reunion dinner table, but also can often be eaten until the end of the month.

On New Year's Eve, before having a reunion dinner, Fuzhou people should worship their ancestors first. Among the many sacrifices, Hou Hengchong was most impressed by horseshoes and rice cakes. Horseshoe grows in the field and has strong vitality. I hope the ancestors will bless the meaning of the family heirs.

Fuzhou people's rice cakes are different from those common in the local market. They are as big as trays and have different tastes. Therefore, every year, Fuzhou Guild Hall will order rice cakes for its members, so that villagers can taste the rice cakes with unique Fuzhou flavor.

When offering sacrifices to ancestors, the rice cake should be sliced and fried, and then put on a plate for sacrifice. Fuzhou people attach great importance to rice cakes. In addition to ancestor worship, the rice cake is also a dessert on the reunion dinner table. Even if you don't eat them, they are indispensable on the table. In addition, red-cooked chicken, Fuzhou fish balls and meat swallows are also delicious on the table of Fuzhou people.

Fuzhou people also have an interesting annual custom. After the reunion dinner, parents should wipe their children's mouths with toilet paper, which means the children are talking nonsense. If the child says something wrong, I hope the gods will not blame him.

On the first day of New Year's Day, Fuzhou people have to make sacrifices to heaven before going out to pay a New Year call, and bamboo rice is a necessary sacrifice. Rice is placed in a bamboo container with a paper red flower and chopsticks around it, which means to pray to heaven.

According to tradition, Fuzhou people eat a peaceful bowl on this day. That's noodles soaked in red fermented chicken soup, with two eggs added to it. Now someone has replaced it with quail eggs. As the name implies, flat ones can be safely eaten.

Hou Hengchong remembers that the Lantern Festival in Fuzhou is also very lively. Worship is a big festival, and the atmosphere of the festival is pushed to a climax by drums, crowds and firecrackers. The Spring Festival in Fuzhou begins on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

There will be a sacrificial stove on that day, but the off-year in Fuzhou is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month (that is, the day before New Year's Eve).

Leave a bowl of rice on New Year's Eve.

People in Grade One don't like going out, but prefer to stay at home.

The custom of the Spring Festival: Shounian

Keeping the Lunar New Year's Eve is one of the most important activities, and the custom of keeping the Lunar New Year's Eve has a long history. The earliest record can be found in the Local Records of the Western Jin Dynasty: on New Year's Eve, all parties give gifts to each other, which is called "the year of giving back"; Wine and food are invited, which is called "not old"; Young and old get together to drink and wish a complete song called "age division"; Everyone stays up all night, waiting for dawn. This is the so-called "shou sui".

There are firecrackers, rice cakes and longevity noodles in the morning of the first day, so let's not talk about it.
