A brief introduction to the origin of New Year greetings. The Spring Festival is a very grand festival in our country, and it is a happy reunion day. It is inevitable to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, and the sources of New Year's greetings are also quite particular. Next, I will take you to know about the introduction of the origin of New Year greetings.
Introduction to the origin of New Year greetings 1 1. According to legend, the custom of greeting the New Year began in the Tang Dynasty ... It is said that Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin finally unified the world after many battles. After Taizong acceded to the throne, he made great efforts to govern and the country prospered. But there is one thing that makes Emperor Taizong feel uneasy. Cheng followed Emperor Taizong very early. He was chivalrous and accomplished, but he was a little unconvinced by Weichi Gong. On the other hand, Weichi Gong saved the life of Emperor Taizong because of his high martial arts, impartiality and loyalty, so he would not compromise with Cheng. There are more or less contradictions among other ministers. In order to solve this problem, Emperor Taizong asked Wei Zhi for advice. Wei Zhi went on to say a way. ...
2. On New Year's Eve, after everyone went to court, Emperor Taizong announced a holiday for the New Year, so everyone didn't have to go to court. "However, you have to do one thing on the first day." Ministers sought advice from Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong put it this way: "From now on, every New Year, everyone should pay New Year greetings to each other. Give up old grudges and grow new friendships with new opportunities; Really find each other's strengths and reflect on whether you have treated others badly. "
People call it good when they hear about it. On the morning of New Year's Day, everyone began to pay New Year greetings to each other. Cheng has always been proactive and early, so he paid tribute to several colleagues. I also want to go to Weichi Gong's house to clear up bad blood, but I can't move my feet. When he returned to the official residence, he was thinking about it. Suddenly, he heard that Weichi Gong had come to pay a New Year call!
4. Hearing this, Cheng regretted his hesitation and let Weichi Gong take the lead. He hurriedly adjusted his coat and hat and went out to meet him. Seeing that Cheng strode forward, Weichi Gong quickly bowed and said, "Weichi Gong has little knowledge, and he has always offended General Cheng. Today, I will pay a New Year call to General Cheng. I hope you will forgive me! " Cheng is a straightforward character. After hearing what he said, Weichi Gong said at once, "I was wrong in the past. In the future, I will unite with General Wei Chi, hoping that the General will forgive Lao Cheng! "
5. Since then, getting married has a good relationship with Wei Chi's family; Manchu civil and military officials are also affectionate and friendly, and understand each other. The custom of "Happy New Year" has been handed down since then and continues to this day.
Introduction to the origin of New Year's greetings 2 What are the etiquette of New Year's greetings?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends and wish each other good luck in the coming year.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China people have formulated unwritten rules for New Year greetings, in a certain order: first, worship the gods of heaven and earth, then worship the true shadow of ancestors, then worship the elders of Gaotang, and finally the whole family worships each other in the order of generations. Give gifts to elders and reward children. When paying a New Year call, the younger generation should first pay a New Year call to their elders and wish them a long and healthy life. The elders can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. It is said that lucky money can kill evil spirits, because "old" and "special" are homophonic, and the younger generation can spend a year safely with lucky money.
Paying homage to relatives and friends also pays attention to the order: paying homage to family members on the first day; The next day, the third day, I visited my mother's uncle, uncle, father-in-law and so on. Until 16. This custom was popular as early as the Song Dynasty. Mr. Meng described the cloud of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty in Volume 6 of Dream of China in Tokyo: "On October 1st, Kaifeng House was released for three days, and scholars celebrated each other early." In the Qing Dynasty, the New Year greeting etiquette was sublimated. Gu Tieqing, a Qing man, described in Jia Qinglu that "men and women pay homage to their parents, and the master leads them to visit their neighbors or send their children to congratulate them, which is called' New Year greetings'. Even if we don't meet at the end of the year, we will worship each other at this time ... "Generally speaking, it is enough for our peers to pay a New Year call.
First of all, worship the elders at home. On the first morning, after the younger generation gets up, they should first pay a New Year call to their elders. Of course, after the elders worship, they will definitely distribute the "lucky money" prepared in advance to the younger generation. What you can't forget is to pay New Year greetings to your neighbors and elders. There is an old saying in China: A distant relative is better than a close neighbor. Therefore, it is second only to our own elders to pay New Year greetings to our neighbors and elders. Generally speaking, neighbors and elders will also give "lucky money".
The second is to visit relatives and friends for the New Year. Be sure to go to your parents-in-law's house on the first or second day, and bring gifts. After entering the door, you should bow down to the Buddha statue, ancestor statue and memorial tablet, and then bow down to your elders in turn.
Then there is a courtesy New Year greeting. If you want to pay a New Year call to your friends, all you have to do is bow to the Buddha when you enter the room. If you are equal to your master, you just have to bow your head. If you are older than yourself, you should still take the initiative to bow your head. The host should get down from his seat to help you, or even say that he is not polite to show his humility. Under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to sit for a long time, and leave after greeting. After the host worships, he should also pay a return visit another day.
There are various ways to pay New Year greetings, such as sending short messages, greeting cards, courtesy calls and telegrams. When you send a greeting card, you will also send your own business card.
In ancient times, if neighbors had too many relatives and friends, it was difficult to walk around the whole house. It's called "flying mail", and let the servant take the business card to pay a New Year call. There is a red paper bag with the word "Fu Jie" written on it in front of each house, which is the purpose of posting flying cards. This custom began in the upper class of the Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the Yantai Moon Order described the Beijing New Year Festival: "It's a fashion that the moon is flying and the sky is empty." Each family has set up a special door book to record the guests' contacts and flying photos. The front page of the door book is mostly the virtual relatives of four people: one is a centenarian who lives in centenarian lane; One said he was rich and lived in Yuanbao Street. One day, you promised someone and lived in the university archway; One day, Fu Zhao visited his master and lived in Five Blessingg Building. For good luck. So far, the gift of New Year cards and greeting cards during the Spring Festival is the legacy of this ancient exchange of flying cards.
It is very popular for ancient scholars to pay New Year greetings to each other. The New Year drill is today's New Year card, which evolved from ancient business cards. According to Zhao Yi's research in the Qing Dynasty, there was no paper in the Western Han Dynasty, so bamboo was cut into thorns, and the book was named "Ming Thorn". Later, people embroidered the words "business card" on the brocade with red wool. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, wood was replaced by paper, which was called "famous paper". In the Six Dynasties, it was called "Ming" for short, and in the Tang Dynasty it was called "door-shaped". Don't call it a "hand thorn" or "door thorn" in the Song Dynasty.
People in China pay great attention to New Year greetings during the Spring Festival. The core of stress is the concept of time.
First of all, we must choose the right time to pay New Year greetings, which is the first element of paying New Year greetings.
Because of their hard work, people usually get up very late during the Spring Festival. If you visit your home too early, you will often catch your host off guard. Some people like to choose to pay New Year greetings in the evening. Sitting for several hours will inevitably affect the rest of the host. Generally speaking, it is advisable to stay as a guest for half an hour to 40 minutes, which is polite and does not affect the host's reception of other guests. When you come in to say "Happy New Year" and leave in a hurry, it will also give people a feeling of "lack of sincerity".
Gifts are also very particular, which is also one of the elements of giving gifts to celebrate the New Year.
Gifts must be given properly. When giving New Year greetings to elders, teachers and teachers, you should bring some gifts appropriately. Gifts should not be too expensive and luxurious, but also "approachable". Holding a bunch of flowers and sending a beautiful greeting card has become a romantic and warm way for modern urban people to pay New Year greetings in recent years.
Pay attention to hygiene and safety in New Year gifts. For example, the cake given to you by others should not be transferred to others, otherwise the food will inevitably rot and deteriorate in the process of "traveling"; Pay New Year greetings to the elderly or patients, and fruits should be beneficial to each other's health so as not to cause waste or even misunderstanding; If you send fireworks or something, don't buy fake and shoddy products.
In addition, pay attention to thrift when giving gifts.
If you make a beautiful little gift for your classmates, lovers, colleagues, etc. You can express your sincere friendship and show your talents.
You must also pay attention to etiquette and etiquette when you pay New Year greetings. Sitting in the neighborhood, getting together with classmates and friends should all be "saying good things in the New Year, and saying good things in the mouth". Even if you have grievances on weekdays, you shouldn't mention them. As for chatting, don't say vulgar things or boring low-level words.
