Traditional Festival Etiquette of the Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is one of the major festivals handed down from ancient times, and it is a very meaningful festival. The Spring Festival is a good day for family reunion, and it is full of excitement. The following is the related contents of the traditional festival etiquette of the Spring Festival that I have carefully prepared, hoping to help everyone.
traditional festival etiquette of the spring festival 1
the spring festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and many Asian countries also have this custom. The Spring Festival was originally called New Year's Day and January Day, and the first day of the first month of the first lunar month is the first of all festivals in China. China people's New Year's etiquette is very complicated. As soon as they enter the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger day by day. There is a folk saying: wax drums sound, spring grass grows. In order to pray for longevity and good fortune and avoid disasters, the villagers knocked on the waist drum in the square, put on masks, and danced in the style of Lux King Kong to pray for peace.
since the song dynasty, eating laba porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month has become the custom of the people. It is said that Laba porridge was spread from temples to the people. Before becoming a Buddha, Sakyamuni traveled around and fainted from hunger. A shepherdess saved her life with whole grains, which made her full of spirit and became immortal. This day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so it is a habit. Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut rice, millet, adzuki bean, peeled jujube paste, etc., and then added with walnut kernel, almond, melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and raisins for spot dyeing. So far, this custom has not been abolished, but the raw materials in porridge have changed a little. After drinking Laba porridge, arrange a good day to sweep the dust. Generally, before quitting the kitchen, every household cleans the inside and outside of the house and washes the furniture and clothes to show that the old ones are removed and the new ones are welcomed. The stove was delivered on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. In the old days, on this night, there was a folk custom of sending the kitchen god.
In the provinces of the Yellow River valley, some candied melons are used to send stoves, and some clear water grass beans are also prepared. It is said that candied melons are for the kitchen god, and clear water grass beans are for the kitchen god's horses. After the sacrifice, the Kitchen God was invited to be incinerated together with thousands of pieces and New Year's Day, and then returned to the kitchen for offering on New Year's Eve. Sending stoves is also called off-year in some places, and firecrackers are set off. It is a custom to eat jiaozi and rice cakes. New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, is on the last day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, every household should set up a table of heaven and earth to worship their ancestors and gods, and put up New Year pictures indoors (mostly in bedrooms). Most of them are four beautiful pictures and some stories of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, with Yangjiabu in Weifang, Shandong, Taohuawu in Jiangsu and Yangliuqing in Tianjin as the best. Put couplets on the gate and put money on the lintel. On New Year's Eve, every family stays awake. At : in the evening, parents put up a new statue of the kitchen god and put some tributes in front of it, which means that the kitchen god was taken down from the sky. Until now, this custom still exists in many places.
Keeping the New Year's Eve and the New Year's Eve dinner are important contents of the Spring Festival. At : , firecrackers sounded, and boiling jiaozi or glutinous rice balls were served hot, and the whole family celebrated the beginning of the new year. At present, every family in our country sits in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival gala, and tastes fine wine, which has formed a new custom of the Spring Festival. Before and after the Spring Festival, social organizations usually hold Spring Festival receptions, group meetings and receptions, and at the same time visit old comrades. Folk people living in other places have also put down their jobs and rushed back to their parents to enjoy family happiness. After New Year's Eve, people greet each other when they meet, which is commonly called New Year's greetings. Traditional Festival Etiquette of Spring Festival 2
I. Celebrating the New Year Etiquette
Celebrating the New Year: On New Year's Eve, the whole family lights up and stays up late to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, commonly known as celebrating the new year. There are many activities, such as eating and playing games. On New Year's Eve, it is a custom that the descendants of the Chinese people still attach great importance to staying up late with their families, getting together and drinking, and enjoying family happiness. After the first cock crow, the new year begins. Men, women and children are dressed in festive costumes. First, they celebrate the New Year's birthday for the elders in the family, and then they visit relatives and friends to congratulate each other.
When observing the Lunar New Year, remember that entertainment should be moderate. On the New Year's Eve, friends and relatives gather together to observe the Lunar New Year, and playing cards and mahjong is enjoyable, which often breaks the life rules established by the elderly and is harmful to their health. If all-night entertainment is more harmful, it often makes the cerebral cortex excessively excited, resulting in insomnia, mental stress and high blood pressure.
Secondly, don't say unlucky words, especially for the elderly at home, which are very taboo.
second, New Year greetings etiquette
Pay attention to dressing neatly during New Year greetings. Put on some good clothes properly, giving people a festive beauty. Pay attention to the standardization of address. The timing of New Year's greetings should be appropriate. If necessary, you can inform the host first to avoid running empty. If you are not going to eat, the best time is between 9 am and 11 am.
Know the names of elders and peers you may meet in advance, so as to avoid embarrassing scenes and make people feel impolite. The auspicious words should be said appropriately. There should be different greetings to different people. When talking, we should choose the topics that are pleasant for both sides, and don't bring up sad things. We should not talk too much, talk nonsense, and argue too fiercely. We should show our true feelings and wishes in a relaxed, pleasant, cordial and natural atmosphere. Manners and gestures should be civilized.
Third, dining etiquette during the Spring Festival
During the Spring Festival, we often visit relatives and friends, so knowing the proper table manners can make you leave a good impression on others. First of all, talk humorously at the dinner table, which can show a person's talent, common sense, cultivation and communication manners. Sometimes a humorous language will leave a deep impression on others, especially the Spring Festival is a cheerful festival.
Secondly, some people always try their best to persuade others to drink more. "Talk about heroes with wine" is ok for people who drink a lot, but it is difficult for those who drink a little. Sometimes, excessive persuasion will destroy the feelings of the original friends. Also, when toasting, we should prioritize. Under normal circumstances, toasting should be based on age and position.
four, hospitality etiquette
hospitality is divided into basic links such as welcoming guests, offering cigarettes, offering tea and seeing them off. Before the Spring Festival customers come, they should clean the door in advance to welcome the guests, and prepare tea sets, smoking utensils, drinks, etc. They can also prepare fruits, sugar, coffee, etc. according to their family conditions. When guests arrive at the appointed time, they should go out to meet them in advance.
when guests arrive at home, they should be warmly received. First, ask the guests to sit down, then offer tea, pass cigarettes and serve candy. Use both hands when serving tea and sending candy plates, and peel the candy paper and peel the skin for the guests. Smoking is a custom of modern family hospitality in China, and it is a etiquette that can not be ignored when entertaining guests. In addition, female guests are generally not offered cigarettes. Serving tea is also one of the important etiquette for hospitality.
wash the tea set before serving tea. When pouring tea, you should master the amount of tea. As the saying goes, hospitality should be "light tea full of wine". The so-called light tea, that is, two-thirds of the tea is poured into the cup. When serving tea, you usually hold the cup ear with one hand and hold the bottom of the cup with the other hand to give the tea to the guests.
when guests leave, they should generally leave each other politely. If the guest wants to leave, he should wait for the guest to get up and send him off. The host should not stand up as soon as the guest says to leave. Some guests often bring gifts, so they should respond when seeing them off, such as expressing gratitude, asking guests not to bring gifts in the future, or thanking some gifts accordingly, and never be as if nothing had happened.
V. Gift-giving etiquette during the Spring Festival
Giving gifts during the Spring Festival has also become a big headache for people in the workplace. When giving a gift, the gift is too expensive, which undoubtedly increases your financial burden. The gift is too cheap and you are afraid that you can't get it. If you don't give gifts, others are giving them. If you don't give them yourself, I'm afraid you won't get a raise or promotion next year. In fact, gift-giving is also a science. If you don't master the temperature well, it will not only waste people and money, but also backfire.
1. Giving gifts to colleagues
Giving gifts to colleagues is very simple. Give him some local products from his hometown, give her a beautiful hairpin and prepare a beautiful scarf for her baby daughter. In a word, every gift you prepare with your heart will help you win the most popular prize in the office.
2. Giving gifts to your boss
Giving gifts to your boss is usually divided into three situations: one is to sincerely thank your boss and deepen your feelings; Second, it is suspected of flattering the boss; Third, there is something to ask for, and the intention is obvious. Either way, if you have decided to give a gift to your boss, you should choose an unusual gift according to your boss's needs and personal hobbies. For example, a female BOSS who loves beauty can send a beauty salon card or a fitness card such as yoga.
3. Gifts for customers
Gifts for customers should have highlights. If the gifts can be bought by customers everywhere, it will be difficult to reflect the company's unique concern for customers. You should give your own company exclusive gifts as much as possible. For example, Pu 'er tea gift boxes with company names and greetings, paper-cut artworks with local characteristics or commemorative collector's edition stamp albums. When always giving gifts to customers, we must make customers feel that the giver is not only attentive, but also has extraordinary taste, thus winning customers' goodwill towards the enterprise.
