What does it mean for a son to light a lamp? In life, lighting may not be familiar to everyone. Lighting lamps is a custom in Guangdong. As a bond, the lighting ceremony closely linked them. Next, I sorted out what my son meant by lighting a lamp.

What does it mean for a son to light a lamp? 1 The custom of lighting a lamp is widespread in Guangdong, but it is generally an activity after a woman gives birth to a child. The main implication of this child's lighting is smooth and healthy growth. There is also a kind of light, which is the light when holding a happy event. This moral is self-evident, and it is generally hoped that newlyweds will live a rich and happy life.

This is a common way of lighting, but in Bayu area, especially in rural areas, there is an unusual way of lighting. That is to light a lamp on New Year's Eve. Maybe it is not called lighting in other places, and the way of lighting is different from that in Guangdong.

Not only in different ways, but also in different purposes and meanings. Guangdong is dominated by celebrations, while Bayu is dominated by sacrifices. And this kind of sacrifice is not the same as we are familiar with. Ordinary sacrifice means offering sacrifices to our deceased relatives, lighting incense for them and expressing their condolences. But many of us don't know that there is an ancient lighting ceremony.

This lighting ceremony may or may not be held, because it is not to mourn our dead relatives, but to light up some unknown ghosts of the past. On New Year's Eve, when families get together, they also burn paper money and light incense sticks for their deceased relatives. But some elders will light some incense sticks on the roadside outside the house, and even put a bowl of rice on the ground. They call it lighting.

Remember to go back to your hometown for the New Year every year. After the reunion dinner, grandma will go out alone with incense sticks and a bowl of rice. I used to wonder what it was doing. Later, I asked the adults, and they said it was to light a lamp for passing ghosts. At that time, I didn't understand why I ordered them, and I didn't know them.

When I grow up, I gradually understand that this is like giving a little charity or warmth to people who have no home. Because there are always abandoned people in the world, and ghosts, too, will be forgotten. No one will light incense sticks for them, let alone offer them sacrifices. So I think this is the pity of the older generation for those homeless ghosts.

But there is another saying, that is, let the lost ghost find his way home. In fact, I think whatever the reason, it is a manifestation of human kindness and a sense of respect for relatives and strangers. But that was the past practice, and now it is basically gone. There is another saying, it is not sacrifice, but staying old.

In rural areas, lights are lit all night on New Year's Eve, and every household is brightly lit on New Year's Eve. Before there was no electric light, kerosene lamps were used, and the stoves at home burned very brightly, making the whole village look bright. This custom comes from the observation of old age. Everyone who has lived in the countryside knows that on New Year's Eve in the countryside, the family will stay up late, sit together for dinner and chat, or make some Spring Festival snacks, usually staying up late.

The custom of observing the age has a long history, which was recorded in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In my hometown, there has always been a saying that "the fire will flourish in the 30 th night", so on New Year's Eve, the lights at home will stay on until dawn, and usually more things are prepared at home to keep warm. This is an expression of nostalgia for the past years and good expectations for the new year, which means to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

I remember when I was a child, I would post Spring Festival couplets and set off fireworks at home after dinner. I usually let my children go to bed early, but on New Year's Eve, I encourage them to stay up late. Whoever persists will get as many lucky money as possible. And parents always say that you will be one year older tonight, so be sensible and not naughty. In fact, this is telling us to cherish time.

No matter where you are, what kind of lighting method you listen to is a tradition and a good way to pray. Sacrifice and blessing both reflect the profoundness and antiquity of our traditional customs and culture in China, and deserve our respect.

What does it mean for a son to light a lamp? Any male born in that year who wants to light lanterns in the next year is called a "lamp holder". According to the rules of the Mohs family, there must be more than two lampholders for the "lighting ceremony". If there was only one lamp holder in those days, you could only hang a "pig cage".

The "pig cage" is made of bamboo and shaped like a big basket without a bottom. This was originally a tool used by the Mo clan to keep pigs in captivity. Therefore, the moral of the ceremony of "hanging pig cages" is to hope that there will not be only one new male in the Mohs family in the coming year, but more and more, like pigs. The ancestral hall is responsible for the pig cage, and people will arrange to make it before the ceremony.

The time to hang pig cages is the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month. The location is in the ancestral hall. The patriarch, the oldest elder in the family, the ancestral hall, the grandfather and father of the lantern bearer should all attend. People in robes entered the ancestral temple. The lamp holder is held by grandfather or father. The ceremony was presided over by the patriarch. Compared with lighting, the ceremony of hanging pig cages is simpler.

Only under the auspices of the patriarch, incense sticks were lit in front of the ancestral memorial tablet, and everyone hung the pig cage on the main beam of the ancestral temple together, and then the elders bowed down in front of the ancestral memorial tablet with incense holders. 1 month 16 to 1 month 19.

On the 19th day of the first month, the pig cage was removed and burned, and the whole ceremony of hanging the pig cage was over. After hanging up the light frame of the pig cage, a formal lighting ceremony will be held with the boys born later until the Lantern Festival of the following year.

What does it mean for a son to light a lamp? The 3 o'clock light ceremony is grand, long and complicated, and it is divided into several steps.

First, turn on the light.

The time to turn on the light is between the eighth and twelfth day of the first lunar month every year. The specific date is selected by the village feng shui master, but it cannot be later than the twelfth day of the first month. According to the date of birth of the first born lamp holder, the Feng Shui master calculated the auspicious day to turn on the light. After the date is determined, the ancestral hall is responsible for notifying all lampstand holders.

Set up a light shed before turning on the light. This light shed is built of wooden boards. It is eight meters long, four meters wide and four meters high, like a wooden house of more than 30 square meters. After entering the door, the wooden boards on the left and right sides are also carved with dragon and phoenix patterns and birthday pictures of the Eight Immortals.

On the day when the lights are turned on, it is just dawn, and people carrying lights will knock gongs and drums to go to the "Hongsheng Temple" in the village. Old people over 60 years old should wear long gowns. Please make a statue of Lord Hongsheng, mother Hongsheng and Mr. and Mrs. Kim, who are enshrined in the temple, and hang red for the statue, that is, put red cloth on the statue, and then welcome it to the lamp shed and worship it in the middle above the lamp shed. A sacrificial table was placed in front of the statue, with offerings such as incense burners, fried piles, tea fruits and fruits.

Second, grab the gun head.

This is a celebration and entertainment activity in the lighting ceremony. The time is the morning of the fifteenth day of the first month, and the place is in the village square.

The villagers piled up two square tables, on which a stool was placed. On the stool stood the Tianshi cannon, and a colorful head was hung on the cannon. After the firecrackers were lit, they immediately rose into the sky, only to hear a sound in the air, and colorful heads fell from the sky. The villagers crowded forward, scrambling to grab the lottery ticket.

Whoever grabs the lottery will bode well for this year, and whoever will win the prize. Nine shots will be fired. The Mohs family in Shawei Village is divided into four big rooms, and the people who won the lottery will have a dinner together to celebrate. One-room people who won the prize this year will return the same amount of goods next year as prizes for grabbing the gun head next year.

Third, pay Li Ding.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, a wedding is held. On this day, a big pot dish banquet will be held in the square outside the ancestral hall. At about five o'clock this afternoon, firecrackers were set off three times outside the ancestral hall. When the men in the village hear these three firecrackers, they will automatically come to the ancestral hall for a cauldron banquet without notice.

There are fifteen kinds of raw materials for a big pot dish banquet, including radish, mushrooms, yuba, celery, pork, dried asparagus, squid and duck. The weight of each raw material is calculated according to the total number of men in the village. It is shared by families with lamp caps, collected and handed over to ancestral halls.

The ancestral temple should be weighed once and then arranged for people to make it. The making method is to use fifteen main ingredients to make fifteen main courses with different styles and tastes, and then use radish as the first course to lay the foundation. Put fifteen dishes in a big wooden basin layer by layer, and each table has a pot of vegetables, which is called a cauldron banquet.

Fourth, round lights.

This is an important procedure of the ignition ceremony. The time is the 19th day of the first lunar month. This morning,

The family members of the lampstand came to the ancestral temple with the lampstand, placed large pots of vegetables, fried piles, wine, fruits and other offerings on the altar in front of the memorial tablet of the ancestral temple, lit candles, set off firecrackers, and bowed down to their ancestors with the lampstand, incense and wine;

After the worship, take the offerings outside the ancestral hall, put them on a table, and also worship the heavens, and then worship the gods inside the ancestral hall. After the lantern festival, you can take down the lanterns hanging in the ancestral temple and at home and burn them.
