Cangzhou New Year custom: Do you want to "please God" on the 30th?

In Cangzhou,1February 30th, every family got up early. It's a busy day. After breakfast, women are busy at home, and men take their children out and ask "God" what God wants? Why ask God? In fact, this god is an old friend of his late parents and grandparents. This issue of Cangzhou Culture introduces you to the Chinese New Year custom in Cangzhou.

The so-called "praying for God" means going to the intersection in the direction of the ancestral grave and asking God to go home for the New Year.

When I was a child, I was very happy to spend the Spring Festival in my hometown, because on this day, children can put on new clothes in 2008. Then I followed my father to ask God. The procedure of this day is probably like this: after breakfast, housewives begin to prepare tributes, mostly steamed bread, vegetables, pig's head or a chicken. When the hostess was preparing the tribute, the man took the children to paste couplets, hang the genealogy and concentrate. When all this is done, the host can take the children to ask God.

Before asking God, you should bring incense and firecrackers at home and hold a symbol of asking God. This symbol is a portrait of a civilian, paying attention to "being subjected to force". When you get to the intersection of please God, you should set off firecrackers and burn portraits of civilians. Please go back to your grandparents and immortals. Burn incense after setting off firecrackers, hold incense all the way, and take your god home all the way. The important thing is that you must not drop by or take a fork in the road, but go back the same way, so as to invite the god at home back. When you get home, you should put "door bars" at the gate and put incense in your own incense burner. So today's task is completed. However, the fragrance must not be broken. This incense is burned out, and another one will be inserted immediately, which will last until the 10% discount on New Year's Day (withdrawal). Some families have been burning incense until the fifteenth day of the first month, and some families have withdrawn on the first day of the first month.

About the "door bar", it is a wooden stick, the length of which should reach the width of one's own door, and then it should be wrapped with a paper wallet and tied with a red rope. It is said that it is to prevent other people's gods from coming to their home for the New Year.

When I was a child, it was very particular to spend the New Year with my grandmother. She always talks to me a lot, forbade me to talk nonsense, forbade me to drink cold water, forbade me to sleep during the day on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day (it is said that if I sleep these two days, I will be depressed, groggy and lazy for a whole year), forbade me to splash water in the yard, forbade me to make a loud noise in front of my family tree and the whole idol .. More importantly, my grandmother wanted me to sleep. So, ask God to come back. I'll change it right away before the incense burns out. Then, grandma asked me to exchange the short incense, which would make me worship God more (kowtow more). At that time, I was very smart. I chose Gao Xiang and Long Xiang because I can change them for a long time. However, I am very careful. Every time I change incense, I kowtow to my family tree and the whole idol seriously. When I changed my fragrance when I was a child, I said to myself: I hope I can study hard and get into a good university ... when I am old, I will treat this god sincerely.

At 30 this afternoon, it's Bao jiaozi. Remember to pack a candy and a money when you pack jiaozi. It is said that people who eat sugar will feel very sweet this year, and those who eat money will not be short of money this year. Some people say that they can make money this year. ...

On New Year's Eve, families get together, have dinner together, and then watch the Spring Festival party, or there are activities in the village, that is, flowers, drums, gongs and lanterns.

About "lighting", it is the team organized by the village. In addition to setting off flowers and firecrackers, they will also put a pile of combustible things made of cottonseed peels in front of each house, which is similar to the ever-burning lamp in front of the house, because cottonseed peels will burn for a long time. When I was a child, my grandfather always followed the lighting team because he was the drummer in the village. When I grow up, the lights are no longer so grand, so I put flowers and firecrackers at important intersections and so on.

Another point is to "scatter age" on New Year's Eve. The so-called "Sprinkling the Year" means scattering sesame stalks in your yard, which means that life is like a sesame blossom. It also spreads age, which means putting aside troubles and worries.
