Is it true that Lunar New Year's Day is "Little People's Day"?

From the perspective of custom, I believe this statement. After all, this is a long-standing custom, which has been deeply rooted in some areas. But from a scientific point of view, I don't believe it, because this is a superstitious statement. Many places will be on the second day of the lunar new year? Step on a villain? And there are many ways to step on the villain, which will be carried out according to different places. This custom is actually like putting up Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns every year. However, stepping on a villain does not mean stepping on a person, nor does it mean engaging in any ceremony to target people who have a holiday with themselves. It is equivalent to praying that you will not meet villains in the coming year, and even if you do, you can step on each other. To put it bluntly, it means smooth and auspicious coming year.

In fact, there are different customs every day from the first day to the fifteenth day. As young people, it is estimated that many people don't know these folk customs, but those who are old know them well. Take our hometown for example, the taboos and customs related rules in the first day are the most, and the second day will be better. As far as I know, not every place is a villain in the second grade, but in the second grade, there is a saying in most areas. For example, the second day of our hometown is not a villain, and the sixth day is a villain, so I don't believe that the second day is a villain. Besides, it can only be a kind of psychological comfort, and it can't really play a practical role.

Of course, there are many customs besides stepping on villains in the second day of junior high school. Let me list some customs and taboos in our hometown.

If you are a married woman in our hometown, take your family back to your hometown on the second day of junior high school. If you are a son-in-law, you will also go back to your home on this day. The purpose of going home is not simply to give gifts to parents, but to reunite with family members and bring the most sincere wishes to parents.

Worship the God of Wealth and Kitchen God. It is estimated that this custom is not taken seriously in cities, but we still believe in it in rural areas. On the second day of every year, before breakfast is ready, parents will prepare worship items, first worship the god of wealth, then worship the kitchen god, and then cook after worship. Although this custom is superstitious, it has become a habit in our country. Basically, every household will do it step by step in the second day of junior high school, so even if we know that this custom has no scientific basis, we will still keep it in mind.

On the first day of visiting relatives, the whole family was not only vegetarian, but also went to the temple to burn incense. When I was in the second grade, I began to treat people. If there are no plans at home, I will start visiting relatives. In the past, I usually went to my father's relatives' home first, and then to my mother's relatives' home. Not anymore. Now, whoever is invited first will go to whose house or whose house is free.
