The following year
Han Junqing
New Year's Day is a big festival all over the world, but business is poor in the off-year period.
Sweep the dust and sacrifice the stove to eliminate smoke, reflecting the infinite scenery of the sun.
The jade emperor's eyes are wide open.
Thousands of people laugh, and thousands of families are prosperous.
Introduction of Seven-character Rhyme: Seven-character Rhyme is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. Seven-character verse is strict, which requires the unity of the number of words in the poem, and consists of eight sentences with seven words each. Every two sentences are a couplet, * * * quadruple, divided into first couplet, parallel couplet, neck couplet and tail couplet. The two couplets in the middle demand antithesis. The representative works are the Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao and the ascent of Du Fu.
The origin of off-year festivals
In his early years, he turned into a turtle and dedicated Luo Shu to Dayu. The mysterious "Luo Shu" pattern on the back is also the origin of the Book of Changes, which is known as the first of China's ten thousand classics. "The Book of Changes and Kungua", a "gentleman with lofty terrain and noble morality", is the embodiment of my early years. Every year after New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve will return to its residence-Beidou Palace, and save auspicious energy until New Year's Eve (the 29th or 30th of the twelfth lunar month).
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it will send off the Lunar New Year to the world first to see who needs the supplement of auspicious energy and inform the situation. Off-year loves to eat stove candy, so people can "say good things in the sky" for off-year and kitchen god, thus forming the folk custom of China people eating stove candy in off-year.
