What are the Spring Festival customs in southern Fujian?
1, dusty day
This is the year-end cleaning. In order to welcome the new year, people use tender bamboo branches and leaves, banyan branches and leaves, or long dusters tied with straw and sugarcane leaves to clean the dust cobwebs on the corner beams, and also use "tablecloths" to wipe all kinds of farm tools and articles. The main purpose of "dust removal" is, of course, to clean up and let us spend the coming year in high spirits, but also to drive away the epidemic, sweep away the plague and pray for peace in the coming year. The tender bamboo branches and leaves, straw and sugarcane leaves on the broom are generally not discarded after sweeping the dust, but collected and taken out as fuel on New Year's Eve to "jump into the fire".
2. Steamed bowls and cakes
After the Dust Festival, in many places in southern Fujian, such as Quanzhou, Jinjiang, Shishi and other coastal areas, in order to have a good Spring Festival, it is necessary to steam "bowls of cakes", also called "scones". In Minnan language, the fatter the rice cake, the better, because "fat" means getting rich and developed. Steaming "bowl cakes" must be "fermented" first, so "bowl cakes" means being able to develop and make a fortune. Moreover, after rice noodles are fermented and steamed with strong fire, the top of the cake will crack, which means "smiles are always open" and symbolizes the happiness of the whole family. "Bowl cakes" are mostly steamed with sugar, which is sweet and delicious, meaning that life is sweet and auspicious.
3. Respect God
This is the most solemn ceremony on the first day of the first month of each year. On the first day of the new year, we worship and pray to heaven that this year will be a bumper harvest. A couple of children (zero), firecrackers everywhere, people set up a case in the hall at home, put three sacrifices, fruits, green tea, gold and other offerings, burn three pots of incense, light candles, worship "God" and worship their ancestors. This sacrifice lasted until the fourth day.
4. Openness is
The bell on New Year's Eve rings at midnight 12, ushering in the dawn of the new year. While "honoring God", every household sets off firecrackers and opens the door to welcome the spring, commonly known as "opening the door".
5. He Zheng
In the morning, men, women and children get up to wash their hands and put on new clothes that have already been prepared. For breakfast, the family eats noodles with eggs, and the eggs are shelled, which is intended to remove mold and welcome good luck. Noodles symbolize longevity. After breakfast, I went out to visit my neighbors and relatives and greeted them with a smile. When you meet for the first time, you should say "congratulations" to each other, commonly known as "He Zheng", which also means to pay a New Year call to the Lantern Festival. When guests come to the door, they should provide candy, candied fruit, or drink sweet tea and coffee to make them "sweet" to show a sweet start.
6. Group worship
The so-called "group worship", even if the villagers go to the largest ancestral temple in the village to worship God, it starts at eight or nine in the morning. The origin of group worship is closely related to the production of villagers. When offering sacrifices to the gods in the ancestral temple, there is a most important ceremony called "Cup". "Cup" is popular in southern Fujian and Taiwan Province Province, also known as "Bo Cup" and "Tou _".
7, lucky money
The minor mistress pays New Year greetings to the elders, and the elders give a "red envelope" as lucky money.

How to keep fit during the Spring Festival?
1, beyond joy
When the Chinese New Year comes, men, women and children are happy, and the elderly and children are happy. This is because the elderly look forward to family reunion. Especially when children working in other places go home for the New Year, the old people are happy to keep their mouths shut.
They are busy cooking for their children during the day, and have a long talk with their long-lost relatives at night, even late at night. This was supposed to make the elderly happy. But "too happy and too sad" and long-term excitement will lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which will cause many elderly people with cardiovascular diseases to have strokes or heart attacks.
2. persistence is the key.
This is a very important one, that is, the elderly must adhere to the usual pace of life, physical exercise and treatment during the festival. Disrupting the original rhythm of life, stopping exercise and stopping taking drugs without authorization are important reasons for the accidents of the elderly on holidays.
Because during the Spring Festival, everyone spends their time and experience on celebration programs and eating, drinking and having fun, so many people break their usual life or rules. Going to bed on time becomes going to bed late and getting up late, and three meals a day may become two meals a day. The usual nutrition collocation has also become a world of meat, and morning exercises have begun to stop.
Doing so may have less impact on strong people, and the body may be able to bear it, but it is quite dangerous for the elderly with poor tolerance and low disease resistance.
Not only the vital organs of the body can't bear it, but also it will cause metabolic disorder in the body and decrease immunity, which is easy to induce many diseases, especially for chronic patients who are taking drugs. If they stop taking drugs without authorization because of the confused concept of "unlucky to take medicine during the New Year", it will often cause serious consequences.
It should be pointed out that many drugs that must be used continuously, such as antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs and antiepileptic drugs, will lead to terrible consequences such as stroke, diabetic ketoacidosis, seizures and even death once they are stopped. Therefore, elderly patients who are receiving medication must not stop taking drugs without authorization during the holiday season, and must insist on treatment.
Step 3 eat reasonably
Among the elderly patients with holiday problems, a large part is related to improper diet, among which heart attack, stroke, cholecystitis and pancreatitis caused by continuous consumption of high fat, high calorie, low vitamins and low cellulose are more common; Gastritis and enteritis caused by unclean diet.
Old people must control this. Because China has the traditional habit of eating and drinking during the Spring Festival, almost every family's holiday table is filled with meat, eggs, chickens, ducks, fish and other foods. Coupled with the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, the younger generation keeps ordering food for the elderly, and the elderly will eat more if they are not careful. Therefore, old friends-must pay special attention to, greasy meat dishes must not eat more, every meal should eat some vegetables. Adhere to vegetarian food for dinner, and it is appropriate to be full at seven or eight points.
Step 4 play moderately
During festivals, when relatives get together, everyone should have a good time. Even the old people who seldom play on weekdays sit around the mahjong table and compete with their children. Moderate playing cards will bring cheerful laughter, but it must not be excessive. Especially for the elderly with poor cardiovascular system, don't indulge in fun. You can't play for more than two hours, let alone stay up all night.
Old people should not take part in gambling cards, which will make them highly nervous and very unfavorable to the cardiovascular system. At the same time, TV programs are good during the festival, and the elderly should not watch them for too long, not more than 4 hours a day. You should choose light comedies, musicals and opera movies, and watch some martial arts films and detective films that are not too nervous and thrilling.
5. Don't drink too much
During the Spring Festival, everyone gets together to eat beans. How can there be less wine on the table? There are also many cases of accidents caused by drinking during the Spring Festival. Among them, because of alcoholism, stroke, pancreatitis and liver disease, everyone must remember not to drink too much at the dinner table.
Therefore, don't drink too much wine, beer, fruit wine and low-alcohol liquor during the festival. Not more than once a day. Don't often toast between relatives and friends, don't fight, and don't drink too much.
