Tie money through the foot of the stick, then throw dung into it and sweep it up, and your wish will come true.
According to "Lu Yi Ji" it says: There was a businessman who was enlightened. When he passed Pengze Lake, there were carriages and horses coming out. He called himself Lord Qinghong. He wanted to understand his past and give him generous gifts. What is needed? Someone taught him. : "But my wish comes true!"
When asked, answer this question. Lord Qinghong was very sorry to get his wish, so he had no choice but to agree to it. It's his maidservant. Then send it out. Since then, a businessman may have something he wants, and if he does what he wants, he will get it. Later on Zhengdan, Ruyi got up late, and hit Ruyi. Ruyi walked away and fell into the dung. The merchant used a stick to beat the dung and sweep it. He called Ruyi, but he didn't return it. This wish-fulfillment story.
Today, on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month, people from the north stood by a dung sweeper and asked people to hit the dung pile with a stick, etc., in order to answer the fake pain. The one who wishes is also a wish-fulfillment story.

Someone once told Ou Ming: "Just ask for your wish!"
When Lord Qinghong asked him, he answered with this sentence.
Mr. Qinghong liked his wish very much, so he had no choice but to agree.
It turns out that Ru Yuan is Qinghong Jun’s maid.
Later, Lord Qinghong sent Ou Ming and the others away.
From now on, if Ou Ming has any requirements, he can do it as he wishes and he will be satisfied soon.
Later, on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Ou Ming got up a little late, so Ou Ming beat her.
Escape to the filthy dirt heap as you wish.
At this time, Ou Ming hit the mound of filthy soil with his money stick and called out Ru wish, but Ru wish finally did not come back.
This is the story of wish fulfillment.
Now, on the night of October 15th, the northerners stand beside the dirt and ask people to pick up bamboo sticks and beat the ash pile.
In the wish-fulfillment story, this approach shows unreal love and pity.

If you don't kill the horse, you won't execute the punishment for seven days. This is also the meaning.
In ancient times, chickens were eaten, but now they are not killed. On this day, the Jing people called for cattle, horses, chickens, and livestock in front of Chenmen. When the order came, they placed millet and beans in ashes and scattered them inside the house. The clouds were used to summon the cattle and horses. It was unknown where they came from.

Huasheng originated in the Jin Dynasty. Jia Chong's "Mrs. Li's Dianjie" says: "It looks like Ruitu Jinsheng, and it also looks like the Queen Mother of the West with a hoopoe.
"In the past, it was forbidden to eat chicken from the first day to the seventh day, so only new dishes were eaten at the beginning of the year, and no images of cows, horses, sheep, dogs, and pigs were carved on the remaining days, but on the second day, people and chickens were given. This is unexplained.
Guo Yuansheng's "Shu Zheng Ji" says: On Anren Mountain in Shouzhang County, King Dongping of the Wei Dynasty carved the top of the mountain and carved an inscription on the wall for people to watch. "Laozi" said: "Everyone is bustling, like this." Climb the Spring Terrace. "Chu Ci" says: "The sun's extreme thousands of miles hurts the heart of spring." "The arrival of spring has been appropriate since ancient times; but I don't know when the seven days actually came from. In the Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen joined the army to look around, and he also wrote poems about climbing in seven days. Since modern times, the north and the south have the same ears.
Northerners have this solar eclipse. Pancakes are made in the courtyard, and the source of the fire is unknown.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, draw a chicken and stick it on the door, and on the seventh day of the first lunar month, cut a human figure from five-color silk or gold foil and stick it on the bed tent." Nowadays, chickens are not killed on the first day of the first lunar month, dogs are not killed on the second day of the lunar month, and pigs are not killed on the third day of the lunar month. Do not kill sheep on the fourth day of the lunar month, do not kill cattle on the fifth day of the lunar month, do not kill horses on the sixth day of the lunar month, and do not kill people on the seventh day of the lunar month. In more ancient times, chickens were killed on the first day of the first lunar month, but not now. Kill them. On this day, the people in Jingchu called the cattle, horses, and chickens in front of the west gate to ask them to come back. They also mixed millet and beans in the ashes and sprinkled them on the ground, saying that they were used to bring back the cattle and horses. The source is unknown. Where.
Cutting five-color silk or metal sheets into human shapes means that when a person enters the New Year, his appearance and spirit will change and he will become a new person. Wearing flower-shaped jewelry began in the Jin Dynasty. , you can refer to the "Mrs. Li's Code of Precepts" written by Jia Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty: "(Hua Sheng) takes the shape of Xiang Ruitu Jinsheng, and also takes the shape of the jewelry written by Xiang Mu. ”
In the past, because it was taboo to eat chicken from the first to the seventh day of the first lunar month, only new dishes were eaten at the beginning of the year. In addition, on other days (the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth day of the first lunar month) ) does not depict the images of cows, horses, sheep, dogs, or pigs. However, on the first and seventh days of the lunar month, the blessing food during the sacrifice is given to people and chickens. I don’t know what the meaning of this custom is. : Two days refers to the rooster day and the human day)
"Shu Zheng Ji" written by Guo Yuansheng of Jin Dynasty said: In Anren Mountain, Shouzhang County, Shandong Province, King Dongping of the Wei Dynasty chiseled the top of the mountain as a human day gathering and viewing. In a distant place, the inscription is carved on the stone wall, and the handwriting is still preserved. Chapter 20 of "Laozi" says: "Everyone is bustling, as if they were on a spring platform to visit. "The Songs of Chu" also said in the "Calling Souls" chapter: "As far as the eye can see, there is no end for thousands of miles, but the delay in spring hurts people's hearts." "So, climbing high in spring and looking far into the distance has been considered the most appropriate time since ancient times, but I don't know when the climbing started on the seventh day of the lunar month. Zhang Wang, who joined the army of Huan Wen in the Jin Dynasty, also wrote a poem about climbing on the seventh day of the lunar month. In modern times, the south and the north have We all have this custom.

On the day of the beginning of spring, I cut [纟cai] and put it on Yan Dai, and attached the word "Yichun"
Note: The word "Yichun" is mentioned in Fu Xian's "Yan Fu". . The poem says: When the four eras come, we should respect the beginning. We should set up the swallows to welcome them. The shape is similar. When Yu Qing wrote about it, he wrote "Yichun Jiazhi"
[Translation]
On the first day of spring, people cut five-color silk into the shape of a swallow. On the head, stick the word "Yichun".
Note:
The word "Yichun" was mentioned in Fu Xian's "Yan Fu". Fu said: "The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are passing by one after another, and people welcome spring respectfully. Spring is the east (god) that follows the destiny. Therefore, [纺cai] swallows are used to welcome her arrival. [纺彩] Yan unfolds lightly And the powerful wings seem to want to fly but can't fly high!

He said to Cheng: 'These places are your silkworm house, and this is where I am. God. In the first half of the next year, it is better to make white porridge and paste it on it to sacrifice to me. I will make you a hundred times more silkworms. If you make it, you will get more silkworms in the first month. Pray for the porridge, add meat to cover it, and go to the house to eat. [Brother Kou] said: "Climb high and grab the rat's brain. Do you want to come or not? Treat me like three silkworms." This means chasing rats for silkworms. "Shi Hu Ye Zhong Ji": "On the 15th day of the first lunar month, there will be a climbing meeting." Climbing is not something that happens in this world.
[Translation]

She said to Zhang Cheng: 'Here is your silkworm-raising place. I am the god of this place! On the 15th day of the first lunar month next year, cook a bowl of rice porridge and add some meat fat on it to worship me. I will make your silkworm industry flourish.' After saying this, Zhang disappeared. Cheng made oil-zhi white porridge (sacrifice to her) according to the woman's instructions.

"Shi Hu Ye Zhong Ji" said: "On the 15th day of the first lunar month, there is a gathering for climbing." So, climbing on the 15th day of the first lunar month is not just like this now.

On the evening of the same day, I welcomed Zigu to predict the future silkworm mulching and to predict various events.
Note: Liu Jingshu's "Yiyuan" says: "Zi Gu's own concubine was taken by the eldest wife [Nv Shi]. She died of gratitude on the 15th day of the first lunar month, so the world made her appearance to welcome her. Curse Cloud "Zixu (the cloud is his son-in-law) is not here. Mrs. Cao (the cloud is his aunt) has already left. My sister-in-law can come out to meet him. I feel heavy when I catch him. "Ping. Changmeng tried to welcome him on this day, so he passed through the layers and left. Since then, you have worn clothes that are in ruins, and this is why you are covered with them.
"Donglan" says: "When the emperor's concubine was about to die, he said: 'I will be happy in my life, and I will see you in the first month.'" Another story.
As the saying goes: You must be quiet between the toilets and then go to Zigu. "Miscellaneous Five Elements Book": "The toilet god is named Hou Di". "Yiyuan" says: "Tao Kan was going to the toilet, and when he saw someone he said 'Hou Di', wearing single clothes and a flat top, he said to Kan: 'Don't talk about it for three years, it's so precious.'" Based on this, the spirit of the Hou Di That’s right!
[Translation]
That night (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month), we welcomed the god Zigu, who came to divine the upcoming silkworm affairs, as well as other questions. Good or bad things.
Note:
"Yiyuan" written by Liu Jingshu of the Southern Dynasties said: Zigu was originally the youngest wife of a family. Because she was jealous of the eldest wife, she died of anger on the 15th day of the first lunar month. So people made the image of Zigu on the 15th day of the first lunar month to welcome her.
Zhu Gao said: "Zixu said that Zigu's husband is not at home. Mrs. Cao (Mrs. Cao) has returned to her parents' home. Zigu, you can come out."
Welcome at the toilet or pigsty. If the image of Zigu in your hand is heavier, it means the toilet god is coming.
A man named Meng from Pingchang County once welcomed Zigu on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Zigu walked through the house and left.
Since then, the image of Zigu has been covered with old clothes, probably because of this.
"Donglan" said: "When Gao Xin's daughter was dying, she said: 'I have loved music all my life, and you can welcome me with music in the first month." This is another story about welcoming Zi Gu. legend.
Customs and legends: Toilets and pig pens must be quiet to attract Zigu.
"Miscellaneous Five Elements Book" said: "The name of the toilet god is Hou Di."
"Yiyuan" said: "Tao Kan went to the toilet one night and saw a man who called himself It was the later emperor, wearing a single coat and a flat turban, who said to Tao Kan: "If you don't tell me within three years, you will be worthless in the future."
Later Tao Kan really became a high official. Could it be that the spirit of the Hou Emperor possessed Zigu to say this.

On the 15th day of the Winter Festival, there was strong wind and heavy rain, which was called cold food. Ban fire for three days and make barley porridge. According to the calendar, it falls on the two days before the Qingming Festival, and it also falls on the 16th day of the winter solstice.
"Qin Cao" says: "Both Duke Wen of Jin and Jie Zisui died, and Zi Sui cut off his stock to feed Duke Wen. Gong Wen returned to the country, but Zi Sui had nothing to gain. Zi Sui composed the snake's dragon song and went into hiding. Wen Gong asked for it, but he refused to come out, so he burned the left and right trees. Zi Sui died holding the wood. Wen Gong mourned and ordered that no fire be allowed on May 5th. "Zhou Ju transferred the book to Wei Wu's "Ming Punishment Order", Lu [ Sui Yu's "Ye Zhong Ji" also says that cold food cuts off the fire, starting from Zitui. "Qin Cao" says that Zi Sui is pushing it. Also, there are differences between the fifth day of May and today, all due to popular tradition.
According to "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records", there was no such thing as the burning of Jie Zitui.
Press; "Book of Zhou·Si [Huo Gen] Clan": "In mid-spring, the wood duo is used to follow the fire and it is banned in the country." Note: "It is the spring that will bring out the fire." Today's cold food solar term is The end of mid-spring. Qingming is the beginning of March, but the fire ban covers the old system of Zhou Dynasty.
Lu [Sui Yu]'s "Ye Zhong Ji" says: "After three days of cold food, make sweet cheese. Also: boil japonica rice and wheat to make cheese, [扌shou] almonds, and make porridge." "Jade Candle Collection" 》 said: "Nowadays, people know it as barley porridge. Grind almonds into cheese and use it to make fermentation." Sun Chu's sacrifice to his son tweeted: "One plate of millet rice, two pieces of cheese." This is what happened.
[Translation]
One hundred and five days after the Winter Solstice, there will be strong winds and heavy rain, which is called the Cold Food Festival. Cold food should be abstained from fire for three days and make some food such as maltose barley porridge (prepared for consumption). According to calculations based on Li's method, the Cold Food Festival should be two days before Qingming Festival, or one hundred and six days after the Winter Solstice.
"Qin Cao" said: "Jin Gongzi Chong'er and Jie Zisui fled abroad together. (Jin Gongzi was hungry when he passed through Weiguo) Jie Zisui cut off the meat from his thigh and gave it to Wen Gong. Wen Gong After he returned to his country and became the king, only Jie Zisui was not rewarded. So he wrote "Song of the Dragon and Snake" and lived in seclusion. Duke Wen of Jin came to see Zi Sui, but Zi Sui refused to come out. He set fire to the trees in front and behind (in the hope of forcing Zi Sui to come out), and he hugged the dead willow and let the fire burn him to death. Duke Wen mourned him and ordered the people not to light fires on May 5th. The proclamation posted in front of the Jie Zitui Temple, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty in the "Ming Punishment Order", and Lu [Sui Yu] in the "Ye Zhong Ji" all said: The custom of banning fire during the Cold Food Festival was started to commemorate Zitui. . The "Zisui" mentioned in "Qin Cao" is "Zitui". Also, (the date of the fire ban) "Qin Cao" said it was the fifth day of May, which is different from now. This is due to the spread of customs.
According to the records of "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records", there is no such thing as the burning of Jie Zitui.
Note:
"Book of Zhou·Si [Huo Gen] Shi" says: "In February, officials paraded around the country shaking the wooden duo and ordered the people to ban fireworks." Note The person who wrote the book said: "The reason for the ban on fire is that March will be the time when there will be the most fires." Now the exact time of the Cold Food Festival is at the end of February, and the Qingming Festival is at the beginning of March. From this point of view, the "fire ban" is probably an old rule of the Zhou Dynasty.

Note:
"The Jade Candle Collection" said: "This festival is particularly popular in cities.' Game of Fighting Eggs'. "
"Zuo Zhuan" contains the story of a cockfight between the Ji family and the [Houtan] family. The game of cockfighting originated very early.
In ancient times, wealthy people were particular about their food. They are eggs with patterns painted on them. Nowadays, the eggs are still dyed in blue, red and other colors, and they are still presented to each other as if they were carved, or placed on dishes and sacrificial vessels.
"Guanzi" said. : “The purpose of carving eggs and then dyeing them is to develop the accumulation and spread all things. "
Zhang Hengnan Dufu said: "Eggs in spring, bamboo shoots in summer, leeks in autumn, and leek flowers in winter", listing eggs as a delicacy that nourishes the body.
As for I don’t know where the egg-fighting game comes from.
Dong Zhongshu’s book writes: The human heart is like an egg, one of the five internal organs of the body, occupying the dominant position in the human body. It seems that this is the principle of egg-fighting. (Translator's note: These sentences can be understood as the egg is like the human heart, so fighting for the egg is a battle of hearts and wits.

A village thought they were "worried", so they went to the waterside to wash themselves. Because the water flows from the source, the water flows from here. The emperor said: "It would be a bad thing to talk about it." Shangshu Langshu said: "I don't know how to understand this. I would like to ask you to tell me its beginning." In the past, Zhou Gong predicted that Luoyi would be filled with wine because of the flowing water. Therefore, the poem said: The wine cup flows with the waves. In the third month of the Qin Dynasty, a man of gold came out from the east and said: "The monarchy is Xixia. It is the hegemonic prince of Qin, because it is the Qushui Temple.
