What is the lock opener (folk custom) for?

When it comes to unlocking, we should talk about padlocks. A padlock is an ancient coin tied with a blue rope by the mother of a knowledgeable good friend when a child is born, and placed in front of Guanyin or Kitchen God. After burning incense, my good friend's mother murmured, to the effect of blessing my children to grow up healthily and smoothly. Under normal circumstances, the first child in the family, or the child who is particularly valued at home, will also padlock some children who have been in poor health since childhood. It is said that if you die, you won't get sick. Some people who attach great importance to children will run to the mountains and let the old monk help them hang up. Those are professionals, and they should do better and more effectively. Some children have recognized an adoptive mother and asked her to help them hang up. In this kind of activity, we all say who to give our children to. "My children are for the chef. Where are your children?" "My children gave it to Guanyin." Maybe it means entrusting the children to the gods and letting them bless their healthy growth.

Since then, every child's birthday has been tied with a blue rope every year. When you are a few years old, you should stick a few coins, burn incense in front of Guanyin or Kitchen God, and then wear them around the child's neck until 12 years old. It's 12 years old, but it's actually 1 1 year old. My hometown is 10 years old, because we in China traditionally say nominal age. It would be much more complicated to hold a party on the day of unlocking. Tieguanyin, baked cakes, cooked jiaozi, recited Buddha's words at home, and some people had to make trouble for three days. It would be much easier not to have a meeting. A new dustpan and broom are usually prepared for a ceremony at home. Children's aunts, uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers will come to their birthdays. At home, we should prepare ten bowls of vegetables, five vegetarian dishes, five meat dishes, ten peaches and ten jujube rolls for the kitchen god, and then a knowledgeable and kind mother will start singing. These songs are euphemistic and melodious. Due to the limitation of space, I will tell you the specific lyrics another day. The general idea is to keep disasters and setbacks away from children, and to sweep up and down symbolically with a new broom while singing. After singing a paragraph, unlock the child and let the child stand up. He has something to eat in his mouth. My brother installed fried dough sticks when he was a child. Children can't eat fried dough sticks now. My niece has a biscuit. Then, put the dustpan on the child's head and hit it with a broom. The child ran behind the gate and secretly ate. After eating, sing children's songs for a while, burn some gold ingot paper money and burn the child's lock, even if the ceremony in front of the kitchen god is completed. Then go to the middle of the yard and sing for a while, even if the whole ceremony is over. After lunch, the family ate a meal happily, saying it was a chewing disaster for the children.
