paste up Spring Festival couplets
Every Spring Festival, no matter in urban or rural areas, every household should choose a pair of red Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door to add festive atmosphere to the festival. Yu Yafei's "Welcome the New Year" said: "The jubilation is red, and every household sticks Spring Festival couplets; Resign from the old and welcome the new, and the wheel always moves forward. " When the Spring Festival couplets are posted on the doorstep, it means that the Spring Festival officially kicks off. There are many kinds of Spring Festival couplets, which can be divided into door heart, frame pair, cross string, spring strip and bucket square according to the place of use. The "door core" is attached to the center of the upper end of the door panel; The "door frame pair" is attached to the left and right door frames; "Cross-dressing" is posted on the crossbar of the door; "Spring strips" are posted in corresponding places according to different contents; "Dou Jin", also known as "door leaf", is a square diamond, often attached to furniture and screen walls. Usually Spring Festival couplets are two pairs of couplets, and the last word of each pair of couplets has different tones and rhymes. The correct pasting method is: stick it to the left with a flat voice and stick it to the right with a flat voice.
Stick paper-cuts on the windows.
Paper-cutting and paper-cutting are among the people, and people also like to stick all kinds of paper-cutting and paper-cutting on the windows. Window grilles not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also integrate decoration, appreciation and practicality. With its unique generalization and exaggeration, window grilles show auspicious things and good wishes to the fullest.
Stick the word "fu"
It is also a long-standing folk custom in China to paste the Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu". The word "Fu" symbolizes good luck and wishes for a happy life and a bright future. In order to fully reflect this yearning and desire. Others elaborate the word "Fu" into various patterns, such as longevity, longevity peach, carp yue longmen, abundant grains, dragons and phoenixes, and so on.
Turn the word "Fu" upside down and take the homonym of "Dao" and "Dao", which means "Fu Dao". Traditional folk customs are like this, but it doesn't mean that all the words "fu" should be posted like this, especially on house numbers.
There are two places where the word "fu" is pasted upside down: one place is above the water tank and the earth box (that is, the trash can), because everything in these two places has to be poured out from it. In order to avoid the dumping of blessings at home, they skillfully use the homonym of "Tao" to paste the word "Fu" upside down. Use "blessing" to offset "blessing" and express the yearning and pursuit of a better life. Another place is on the cupboard at home. A cupboard is a place to store things. The word "fu" is reversed, which means that good luck (and wealth) has arrived at home, in the house and cupboard. As for the word "fu" on the gate, it has always been attached. The word "Fu" on the gate means "Welcome to Fu" and "Accept Fu". The gate is the entrance and exit of the family and a solemn place. The word "fu" posted must be solemn and generous, so it must be posted correctly.
New Year picture
New Year pictures are an ancient folk art, reflecting people's simple customs and beliefs and placing their hopes for the future. New Year pictures, like Spring Festival couplets, originated from "door gods". With the rise of block printing, the content of New Year pictures is not limited to monotonous themes such as door gods, but has become rich and colorful. Some New Year pictures workshops have produced classic color New Year pictures, such as Fu Lushou's Samsung, God bless the people, abundant crops, prosperous livestock and welcoming the New Year, to meet people's good wishes of celebrating and praying for the New Year.
At present, the earliest collection of New Year pictures in China is the woodcut New Year pictures of the Southern Song Dynasty, which show four ancient beauties: Wang Zhaojun, Zhao, Ban Ji and Lvzhu. The most popular folk painting is the Year of Marrying the Rat. It depicts an interesting scene in which a mouse marries a bride according to human custom. In the early years of the Republic of China, Zheng of Shanghai combined the monthly calendar and New Year pictures into one, which later developed into a monthly calendar.

According to legend, in ancient China, there was a monster named Xi. It had long tentacles and was very fierce. Often eat livestock, hurting people's lives. So that people outside the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of nocturnal animals.
On New Year's Eve this year, people in Taohua Village took refuge in the mountains, anxious and panicked. At this time, a child came from outside the village and saw an old woman asking why. Hearing this, the child laughed: "Mother-in-law, my name is Nian. Let me stay at home for one night, and I will definitely drive away the evening beast. " The old woman looked at him carefully in surprise and found that he had an extraordinary world view. But she continued to persuade, and Nian smiled without a word. My mother-in-law had no choice but to leave home and take refuge in the mountains.
In the middle of the night, the evening beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house at the east end of the village had red paper on the door and bright candles in the room. Evening beast was a shake, animal. Glaring at her mother-in-law's house for a while, then barking at her. Near the door, there was a sudden bang in the courtyard, and the evening beast trembled and dared not go any further. It turns out that the evening beast is most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw a child wearing a red robe laughing in the hospital. Evening beast frightened to disgrace, fled.
The next day, the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers the promise in 2008. Villagers flocked to the old woman's house, only to find red paper on her mother-in-law's door, a pile of unburned bamboo still exploding in the yard, and several red candles still glowing in the house. In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, ecstatic villagers put on new clothes and hats one after another and went to their relatives and friends' homes to congratulate and say hello. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew the way to drive away the night animals. To this end, everyone went to pay New Year's greetings, that is, the current "New Year's greetings" (the origin of New Year's greetings), and called New Year's Eve the New Year.
Since then, every year on New Year's Eve, every family has posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival in China.

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 in front of every house with the word "Fu Jie" written on it, which is the purpose of airmail. This custom began in the upper class of the Song Dynasty.
Song people used the famous Vitex negundo instead of New Year's greetings. Hui Zhou said in Qingbo magazine: "During the Song Dynasty, servants were often used to stab people's names when visiting the New Year." . At that time, the scholar-officials had a wide circle of friends, and it took time and energy to pay New Year greetings everywhere. Therefore, some close friends did not go in person, but sent their servants to take a card cut with plum blossom stationery, two inches wide and three inches long, with the recipient's name, address and congratulations written on it.
In the Ming dynasty, people visited instead of paying New Year's greetings. Wen Zhiming, an outstanding painter and poet in the Ming Dynasty, described this in his poem "New Year": "I don't want to meet each other, but I want to talk, and my famous articles are full; I also throw a few pieces of paper at people. The world is too simple and empty. " The "famous thorn" and "famous divination" mentioned here are the origins of today's New Year cards.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Yantai Moon Order described the Beijing New Year Festival: "It's the moon, the film flies, and the car goes empty." Become fashionable. "A large family has a special door book" to record guests' contacts and flying photos. There are four virtual "relatives" on the front page of the door: one is a centenarian living in centenarian lane; One said he was rich and lived in Yuanbao Street. One is your infinite adult, living 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. New Year cards are used to connect feelings and exchange greetings, which are convenient and practical and still popular today. Chinese New Year greeting cards, beautiful feelings and sincere wishes are all included. Why not do something simple and practical?
With the development of the times, the custom of New Year greetings is constantly adding new contents and forms. Nowadays, people not only follow the old way of paying New Year greetings, but also begin to pay New Year greetings by courtesy telegram, telephone, internet and SMS.

Traditional festivals are the long-term accumulation of a country's history and culture. There are many traditional festivals in China, and each festival has its own form of celebration, which is rich in content and a small part of the long history and culture of our Chinese nation. Spring Festival, a traditional festival, also developed from ancient times. From the festival customs that have been passed down to this day, we can clearly see the wonderful pictures of the ancient people's social life.
There are many customs in the Spring Festival: sweeping dust, posting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, eating New Year's Eve, and paying New Year's greetings ... But the customs of the Spring Festival will be different due to different regions and different nationalities. However, no matter where, the custom meaning of the Spring Festival is the same-I hope to be happy in the new year.
The custom of Chinese New Year in my family is the same as that of most southerners. A few days before the Chinese New Year, our whole family was busy cleaning together, keeping the house clean and spotless. Because according to the folk saying, "dust" and "Chen" are homophonic, and sweeping dust in the Spring Festival means "dust removal and cloth renewal", which is originally intended to sweep away all "unlucky" and "unlucky". This custom has placed people's desire to break the old and create new ones and their prayers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Therefore, in order to make the new year's financial resources rolling and smooth sailing, everyone in our family has contributed.
At the same time, mom and dad also bought all kinds of drinks, milk drinks, vegetables and fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and dried fruits from the internet, supermarkets, food markets and other places, making the locker at home full. Even grandma, who never likes snacks, took out a pack of biscuits from the locker and put them in her room.
On New Year's Eve, our family was still busy putting up Spring Festival couplets, putting up New Year pictures and setting off firecrackers ... very busy. Although a little tired, everyone's heart is full of joy and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
What made me eat this kind of food for the first time was the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. Grandparents cooked a lot of dishes in this reunion dinner: fried kidney with winter bamboo shoots, stewed chicken, instant-boiled mutton, steamed salmon ... every dish is so rich, every dish is so delicious, every dish is so delicious, it's really mouth-watering and people want to try it. I had some wine with my family when I was eating, and the family sat together, and the family was full of happiness and warmth everywhere. After dinner, adults gave me lucky money, and I was so happy that I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Watching my family celebrate the New Year reminds me of the eternal quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, "firecrackers are one year old, and the spring breeze warms Tu Su. Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old ones. " I really hope that I can celebrate the Spring Festival every month in my life, and every day is Chinese New Year.
