Wuxi folk custom

In addition to pasting peach charms, mending doors and Spring Festival couplets, Tin also hangs Zhong Kui elephants during the New Year to avoid sneaking around for a year.

Legend has it that Zhong Kui is good at catching ghosts.

This custom probably began in the Tang Dynasty.

Many folk families in Wuxi also have the custom of hanging red couplets with auspicious sentences on the lintel and paper-cut doormats.

On the morning of New Year's Day, cakes and zongzi are popular in Wuxi, which means reunion and promotion.

Besides, we should eat noodles, which means longevity and Changchun.

Wuxi custom: When the children come in the New Year, the host will treat them with snacks and sweets.

Children from relatives and friends who come to pay New Year's greetings will get lucky money.

The new son-in-law goes to his mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, usually on the third day of the New Year's Eve.

The third day is called Xiao Nian Chao. You can't sweep the floor, beg for fire or draw water, just like the custom on the first day of New Year's Day.

There is another custom in Wuxi that is slightly different from other places, that is, the 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays are in the Spring Festival, not birthdays.

On New Year's Day, many places have the custom of not sweeping the floor, and so does Wuxi.

I think sweeping the floor should sweep away wealth.

Even if you sweep the floor on the second day of the lunar new year, you can't dump the garbage outside the house, but pile it in the corner until the first day of the first month. This is called "gathering money".

In the old dynasty, it was forbidden to beg for fire and water from others, to use knives and scissors, and to dump sewage and feces.

You have to close the door two or three times to explode when you sleep in the New Year.

I went to bed early that night in Wuxi. If children are too playful to sleep, parents often coax their children into saying, "Go to bed early and listen to the old bug tonight."

Wuxi old customs attach great importance to the climate on New Year's Day, and often use this day's weather to predict the next year's harvest.

Wuxi new year

The Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival for Wuxi people.

It is an old custom in Wuxi to open the door on the morning of New Year's Day and explode after opening it three times.

Eating shredded pork cake, jiaozi and noodles for breakfast means reunion, promotion, longevity and Changchun.

On this day, we only eat leftovers on New Year's Eve, which means "more than enough".

When eating, you can't cook soup and pour rice, and you can't eat porridge for fear of going out in the rain.

We should also avoid asking for fire and water from our neighbors, warning against swearing, getting angry and saying unlucky things, and praying for peace and good luck all the year round.

During the Spring Festival, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to their elders first, and then visits relatives and friends.

When relatives and friends meet for the first time, they will say something like "Congratulations on your happy wedding", "Congratulations on getting rich" and "Congratulations on getting rich" to congratulate each other.

The new son-in-law pays a New Year call to his parents-in-law's house, usually on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Old people have been celebrating the Spring Festival every 10 years since they were 60 years old.

Wuxi, also known as Liangxi and Shen Xi, is called Tin for short.

Liangxi is named after Liangxi River, and the alias of Western God is related to Huishan. The ancients called Huishan a mountain in the west, and the earliest text was "Pillow in My Heart" written by labor and capital.
