What are the customs for children here in Yangzhou to celebrate the week?

Hello, it is a custom in Yangzhou to catch the week for children: one year after a child is born, some Yangzhou families have to "grasp the week" for the child. This custom was called "Nian Zhou to test the day" in ancient times, which is a kind of divination. The etiquette of children's future and career is also a family game with superstition.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties through the Southern Song Dynasty to modern times, Yangzhou people have inherited the custom of holding Zhou Dynasty in one continuous line, and its content and form have not changed much, reflecting the strong inheritance of this kind of folk custom. In fact, using children's unintentional actions to predict their future career is actually a relic of ancient omen divination. It is undoubtedly ridiculous to attempt to make certain judgments about a child's future through accidental contact between people and objects, so people no longer do this.

Nowadays, Yangzhou people still have the custom of "grabbing the week", but the form and content have fundamentally changed. When children today "grasp the week", they have to have a banquet at home, which is called "grabbing the week wine" " Relatives and friends will come to celebrate, and they will also tease their children to play around with various objects. But it is no longer an ancient divination, but a modern family happiness.
