The main customs are to worship the Jade Emperor, Taoist Temple Zhaitian, etc., when the day, women prepare fragrant flowers and candles, fasting bowls, and place them in the open air at the mouth of the courtyard alley to worship the sky, and ask for the blessing of the heavens.

On this day, all stone tools such as grinding and grinding can not be moved, and even sacrifices are set up to enjoy the stones, for fear of hurting the crops. It is also called "stone immovable" and "ten immovable". Steamed bread is a must-eat for lunch, thinking that eating bread will bring prosperity within a year. In Yuncheng, Shandong and other places, there is a move to lift the stone god. On the ninth night of the first lunar month, a clay pot is frozen on a large smooth stone, and ten young men or ten little girls take turns carrying the clay pot. If the stone does not fall to the ground, it indicates a good harvest of the year.

There is a saying in the folk song of the 11th day of the first lunar month, that is, the 11th day of the first lunar month is the day of the son-in-law, and the fathers-in-law feast on this day. According to legend, this is because the food for the celebration of Tiangongsheng on the ninth day of the new year cannot be eaten until the tenth day of the new year, so it is used to invite the son-in-law to eat on the eleventh day, and the mother's family does not have to spend money on it.

During this time, the mother and father of the family are very busy, but it is very festive taste, and it is also very New Year's flavor, whether it is an adult or a child, everyone is very happy, and the dress is also very festive, full of New Year's flavor, and soon it will be the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is the main traditional festival in China, also called Yuan Xi, Yuan Night, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, because this is the first full moon night of the New Year. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, several villages gather together to perform a social fire, which includes stepping on stilts, jumping Zhong Kui, and floating.

Because the history of the main population migration to the Northeast is not very long, so the customs of the Northeast are with some foreign or Central Plains customs in it, there is a loss, and they are integrated with each other, the main thing to eat in the rural festival is to eat, for eating, there are many special snacks in the Northeast, throwing sleeve soup, braised elbow, pepper tender drunken chicken, boiled fat sausage, tomato juice grass carp fillet, red blood sausage, pork stewed vermicelli, as well as indispensable frozen milk, frozen steamed buns, frozen bean buns, frozen dumplings, frozen rice cakes, frozen autumn pears, frozen autumn pears are essential fruits for the New Year, Put a round autumn pear the size of an egg, freeze it outdoors, thaw the pear in cold water before eating, slowly slow out a layer of ice around the pear, break the ice, take a bite, the juice is sufficient, cool and sweet, very refreshing, it can relieve greasy, and lift the spirit.

The Lantern Festival in the Northeast is different from the glutinous rice balls in other places, the Lantern Festival made by my mother is also passed down by my grandmother, the Lantern Festival is not wrapped, it is rolled, the sugar and bean paste filling should be made into small pieces first, the ground glutinous rice flour is placed in the large basket, the filling piece is put in the basket and begins to shake, the glutinous rice flour is stained on the filling layer by layer, the more it shakes, the more it is shaken, the white round Lantern Festival rolls into, the meaning of the Lantern Festival is the reunion and beauty of the whole family, the husband and wife are sweet and sweet, expressing everyone's good wishes for the new year.

Because there is a lot of sugar in the Lantern Festival, it is a child's favorite, because it is full of blessings, so the good people in the village have to change the Lantern Festival, take their own family and other people's exchanges, each family's craftsmanship and filling are different, when you eat the Lantern Festival at night, you can eat a lot of different flavors, my mother's craftsmanship is good, someone will come to change it every year, and this year I want to eat it with Grandma Zhang, so the variety has increased a lot, because the Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice, which is very sticky and not easy to digest, My mother didn't let me and Wang He eat more, and after eating a few, she didn't let us eat.

Lantern Festival people in the village want to send lamps, every family has to make a noodle lamp, and the lamp shape is like a bowl, commonly known as a lamp bowl, made of cornmeal is called a golden lamp, made of white flour is called a silver lamp, made of buckwheat noodles is called an iron lamp, after being formed and steamed in a pot, plug in the wick made of reeds wrapped in cotton wool, the noodle lamp bowl is filled with lamp oil, the noodle lamp is done, and then the noodle lamp is sent to the ancestral board, the heavenly floor, and the stove king board, and then the lamp should be sent to the cemetery, placed on each grave of the deceased relatives, and when the lamp is sent, it is auspicious to light it firstIf you borrow someone else's match to light the lamp, you will think that your ancestors can't see the light, and when you light the lamp, you should nod and say: "The fifteenth day of the first month comes to send the lamp, send the gold lamp, send the silver lamp, send the iron lamp, there is a bright one in front of the grave, and there is no black hole in front of the grave." I have the intention to steal the lamp, steal a big iron lamp, and I can't carry it on my back, and I slip and make a crooked kick in the cold, and the big cloth shirt burns a big hole. "On the night of the Lantern Festival, because every family sends lights, the intersection and the field cemetery are bright. This custom has always been adhered to in the family, and every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my father will go to deliver lamps.

Red candles represent festivity, when it is just dark, the men of the family bring lamps, paper to the graves of their ancestors, burn paper for the ancestors, women at home to the home stove, pig and sheep pens, wellheads, granaries, livestock pens to light red candles, and in the house to point the family's physiognomy to show the peace of the family, I also asked my mother to send the meaning of the lamp in my previous life, my mother and I said, "Sending lamps is to illuminate the ancestors to catch lice, at the crossroads to send lights is to ask the ancestors to go home to save energy and find the way home, I hope that my ancestors can bless my family."

This custom has slowly disappeared later, and I haven't had a Lantern Festival at home for many years in my previous life, and I basically can't even eat the Lantern Festival when I work outside, let alone stick to the custom.

I and Wang He finished eating, just go out for a walk, the Lantern Festival night, everyone has to go out of the house to stroll, this is called "go a hundred diseases", everyone walks together, see the bridge must be crossed, especially if the health is not good, after walking a hundred diseases, you can get rid of illness and prolong life, eliminate disasters and health, the time to go to a hundred diseases is between three o'clock in the afternoon and twelve o'clock in the evening on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this is a kind of disaster elimination and health activities to go to a hundred diseases, my mother they are still eating and chatting, too slow, Wang He and I set off.
