There is a saying among the people: "The kitchen god's real name is Zhang, and a bowl of cold water smells three times."

Our country has a long history and profound cultural heritage, which was vividly displayed in the Spring Festival. As a children's song describes:
Don't be greedy, son. After Laba, it is the New Year. Laba porridge, drink for a few days, pull twenty-three. Twenty-three, honeydew melon is sticky; Twenty-four, sweeping the house; Twenty-five, paste the window; Twenty-six, braised pork; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eight, flour hair; Twenty-nine, steamed bread; Stay up for thirty nights; Twist into the street on New Year's Day. This children's song almost summarizes the activities around the Spring Festival, Laba, offering candy to the stove, observing the old age and paying New Year's greetings. It is catchy to read and is still sung by the disseminators of "popular culture".
The Spring Festival is happy for children and also for adults. The Beiping folk songs circulated in the past show the "programs" of adults during the Spring Festival. As the saying goes, "In the first month, every family celebrates the New Year. Lantern Festival, brightly lit, full moon, many people, visiting temple fairs, shaking clothes, flower boxes everywhere, firecrackers everywhere, people wandering in the streets, going home in the middle of the night, singing and dancing, throwing dice, setting up stalls. Oh, my God! Jin Shenxian visited Baiyun Temple. "
This folk song comes from "Paige of Hundred Banknotes", with immortal, which is a kind of Quyi people. Of course, this brand song is sung by artists, so it needs some singing skills to rhyme.
The folk songs of the Spring Festival are a portrayal of life in those days. Although they have been made for a long time, today's memories still make people daydream and even forget. With the development of the times, some customs no longer exist in the Spring Festival. However, those folk proverbs of the Spring Festival that have been passed down to this day have retained some historical folk customs.
