"Brother, I heard that the emperor is not allowed to set off firecrackers, let's do it like this, right?" Listening to the sound of firecrackers in the courtyard outside, Lin Feng asked with some concern.

"Don't be afraid, this kind of thing is not forced in the first place. That kind of apartment building is naturally very unsafe, easy to cause fire, our such a large courtyard is fine, besides, for safety, I can't bear not to buy fireworks, otherwise, it's not bad to have a fireworks show. Zhang Tianyuan waved his hand.

"Isn't there a person who has made a film about "Under the Dome", saying that it is to prevent smog? This cannon also pollutes the air, right?" Zhang Xue asked suspiciously.

"Well, there is such a person, but before her, our country has begun to vigorously advocate the control of haze, about how the smog came about, I don't know very well, but firecrackers will form haze? This is definitely nonsense! If you can manage the factory well, make car exhaust emissions more environmentally friendly, more useful than banning firecrackers, if firecrackers will cause fires, this I can understand, after all, this is also a fact, those apartment buildings are so small environment, many people have to set off fireworks, no accident is strange, like us, it must be fine, rest assured. ”

"It's also true, firecrackers are much less polluting than factories, and even lighter than smoking. Lin Feng nodded.

The meal was almost finished, and everyone was drinking tea and chatting about the sky, and by the firecrackers, they talked about the haze.

There is a saying on the Internet called "Eating gutter oil is life,!"

borrowed to satirize people who care about national politics, but Zhang Tianyuan doesn't agree very much, even if it is a flat-headed common person, there is nothing wrong with caring about national politics. In particular, smog is related to everyone's life.

"I think the New Year still has some New Year's flavor, it's really boring not to set off firecrackers, brother, you said yes?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"'The sound of firecrackers is one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households. Always replace the new peach with the old charm. This is Wang Anshi's poem, it can be seen that even the ancients, the New Year to set off firecrackers, this tradition can not be lost, if the country really has to change, then it is better to develop some firecrackers that will not produce pollution and fire. Just like car exhaust pollution and factory emissions, you can't just cut it all and don't let it go, after all, workers still have to eat, but should start from the aspect of governance to reduce the cost of environmental protection and improve the effect of environmental protection. Now that the technology is here, it really can't be done? It can only be said that some people don't want to do it. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, speaking of the New Year, we heard a lot of interesting stories when we were young, all about Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year, and there are many things that we have forgotten now, and it is estimated that our next generation." Don't you care too much about it. Lin Feng nodded.

"Yes, in fact, many customs of the New Year are quite good, but unfortunately now they seem to be gradually neglected and not paid much attention to. Li Lanxiang also sighed and said, not only in the city, but also in the countryside, many young people don't care too much about these things.

"Because I studied archaeology, I still care more about some folklore things, haha, this is another kind of additional gain. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

"Hey, why don't we play a game? It can't be too boring, everyone tells a New Year's custom or taboo or story, and whoever can't say it will drink, how about it?" Lin Feng said suddenly.

"You young people can't play with us. Zhang Ruhai laughed.

"Not necessarily, Dad. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "My archaeology is not for nothing. Well, if I can't say it, I'll punish myself with three glasses, and how about you all drink one?"

Since it is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is natural to be happy, playing mahjong and big cards are too ordinary, so Zhang Tianyuan is still quite interested in the game proposed by his brother-in-law Lin Feng.

However, his self-punishment of three glasses made everyone a little unconvinced, you read more books, but you can know more about the customs and customs of the New Year than us? Or are you not afraid of relying on your own heavy drinking?

"Okay, you kid is so confident now, don't regret it later, then come from me. Zhang Ruhai is also very enthusiastic.

"Wait, let's stop playing, you four men. Li Lanxiang hurriedly stopped the start of this game, she knew that Zhang Xue and Lin Feng's mothers were not very good at drinking, and she couldn't drink enough, although the old lady could drink, but after all, she was old, just watch the excitement on the sidelines, there was no need to get involved.

"Okay, okay, you can be witnesses, and watch from the sidelines. Zhang Ruhai waved his hand and immediately agreed.

"Can we start?" asked Zhang Ruhai.

"Let's get started. Everyone nodded.

Zhang Ruhai thought for a moment and said: "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner! This is a custom!"

"Count, of course. Chinese New Year's Eve is extremely important for us Chinese. On this day, we are ready to remove the old and welcome the new, and have a reunion dinner. Family is the cornerstone of Chinese society, and the annual reunion dinner fully expresses the mutual respect and love of Chinese family members, and this mutual respect and love makes the relationship between the family closer together. ”

"The reunion of the family often makes the head of the family feel comforted and satisfied mentally, and the elderly see that the children and grandchildren are full of children, and the family is happy together, and the hard work of caring for and raising children in the past has not been in vain, which is how happy it is. The younger generation can also take this opportunity to express their gratitude to their parents for their nurturing grace. ”

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and helped his father explain, and then continued: "Paste Spring Festival couplets!"

Well, the Spring Festival couplets are also called door pairs, spring stickers, couplets, pairs, peach symbols, etc., it depicts the background of the times with neat, dual, concise and exquisite words, and expresses good wishes, which is a unique literary form in our country. Every Spring Festival, whether in the city or in the countryside, every household should select a pair of red Spring Festival couplets to paste on the door to add a festive atmosphere to the festival, which is a custom that has been around since the Song Dynasty, it must be counted, right?"

"You say paste Spring Festival couplets, then I will say paste window flowers!" Lin Feng said with a smile: "In the Han people, people also like to paste all kinds of paper-cut paper on the windows - window flowers. Window grilles not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also set decoration, appreciation and practicality. With its unique generalization and exaggeration, the window flowers will be auspicious mascots and good wishes to the fullest, and decorate the festival with prosperity and magnificence. ”

"Window grilles count. Then the word "blessing" is also counted. Lin Feng's father smiled.

"Count, of course, the word 'Fu' is a long-standing custom of the Han people in our country. The word 'Fu' refers to good fortune and good luck, and it entrusts people's yearning for a happy life. Wishes for a bright future. In order to more fully reflect this yearning and wishes, some people simply paste the word 'blessing' upside down, indicating that 'happiness has arrived' and 'blessing has arrived'. The Han folk also have the word 'Fu' finely depicted into various patterns, the patterns have birthday star, longevity peach, carp jumping dragon gate, five grains harvest, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang and so on. Let's stick it on this door, how can we not count it. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.

"There is one more thing to paste, and that is to paste New Year's pictures. That's not bad, right?" said Zhang Ruhai with a smile.

"Of course, of course, the Spring Festival hanging New Year's pictures are also common in urban and rural areas, and the black and colorful New Year's pictures have added a lot of prosperity and joy to thousands of households. New Year painting is an ancient Han folk art in China, which reflects the simple customs and beliefs of the people and places their hopes for the future. If you don't say it, I'll forget. We forgot to buy New Year's pictures this year. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"Now the New Year's paintings have been replaced by wall calendars, but this custom is still going on, brother, it's your turn, now that the things that should be pasted have been pasted, can you say anything else?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Is this still hard to stop me? Is it considered to set off firecrackers, and use the sound of beeping firecrackers to remove the old and welcome the new. That's what the kids out there are doing. Zhang Tianyuan laughed.

"Amazing. I want to think about what else, by the way, the New Year's sacrifice to ancestors is also one, right?" Lin Feng suddenly raised his head and said.

"In ancient times, this kind of ritual was very popular. Due to the different rituals and customs in various places, the form of ancestor worship is also different, some go to the field to worship the ancestral tomb, some go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and most of them put the ancestral tablets in the main hall in turn at home, display offerings, and then worshippers worship in the order of the elder and youngest. ”

"Han people worship their ancestors. Most of them make fish bowls and dishes, and serve them in high bowls, which has the meaning of bell ringing and dining. The southern people live in the imperial capital, and the ancestor worship is particularly grand, most of which are eight bowls of dishes. Set up hot pot in the middle, set cups and spoons according to the spiritual position, and fan the hot pot on Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and New Year's Eve, and change dishes at any time. Zhang Tianyuan still remembered some things he had read about ancestor worship in the book, and he nodded happily for Lin Feng to think of this: "Count you right, next." ”

"Hang the lantern. Lin Feng's father seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, so after arriving at him, he spoke out without any stumbling.

"The lanterns in our country are also collectively known as lanterns. Originated more than 18oo years ago in the Western Han Dynasty, around the Chinese New Year's Eve every year, people hang red lanterns symbolizing the meaning of reunion to create a festive atmosphere. On Chinese New Year's Eve, red lanterns are hung at the door, the hall is lit with red fires, candles or oil lamps are lit, and the family talks around the table. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "Although the current lanterns are no longer candles, but bulbs, but the lanterns are still lanterns, and the role has not changed. ”

"It's my turn? I'll have a drink to moisten my throat. After arriving at Zhang Ruhai, he drank the wine in the cup directly, and then poured it full before saying: "New Year's money, this is also a custom." ”

"Giving New Year's money for the New Year reflects the care of the elders for the younger generations and the respect of the younger generations for the elders, which is a folk activity that integrates the ethical relationship of the family. But I think of the past because of the New Year's money, I didn't dare to go home for the New Year, it's really embarrassing, but now I'm not afraid, sure enough, this person's happy life still has to rely on wealth to make up for it. Zhang Tianyuan said with emotion.

"Brother, don't be emotional, it's your turn. Lin Feng urged: "If you don't know, you will be punished with three cups." ”

"It's too underestimated, isn't it?" Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "The customs are almost there, let's just say a taboo." ”

"There are a lot of taboos and taboos on Chinese New Year's Eve. For example, avoid unlucky words such as ghosts, death, and killing, avoid breaking dishes, avoid evil words, avoid drowning in the open, and avoid splashing sewage and lamp oil on the ground. When the Chinese New Year's Eve arrives, people celebrate the festival and harvest while bathing, changing clothes and cleaning to ward off epidemics and evil spirits. Especially when it comes to Chinese New Year's Eve meals, there are more taboo ......"
