In a blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of the first day of the year, and Lu Chen had also reached the age of twenty. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly made Lu Chen feel that he had grown up, and he felt that he was still a child in his teens, and he could only be called a teenager, but after he was twenty years old, he could be called a young man.

Twenty years is a quarter of a person's lifespan, but for Lu Chen, it has just begun. Because he feels that his life has just entered the normal.

The Spring Festival is very important to Lu Chen, Qin Baichuan and Wujimen, and everyone is very happy to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Qin Baichuan looked at Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, it's the New Year." You're twenty years old, so you can be said to be a real adult, and you're now hardened in your wings. I won't care about what you do in the future, because you are no longer a child, and you can make your own decisions about what you want to do, but remember that you are not a child, and you can't let your own temperament come, remember? ”

Lu Chen heard Qin Baichuan's words, and felt very embarrassed, what his land master said was not wrong, he used to act impulsively, and his lack of consideration was similar to that of a child.

"Okay, Master Gong, I have memorized your words, I must have paid attention, I have grown up, after today I will be twenty, I will celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve today." I'm not a little hairy kid in my teens, I'm also an adult in my twenties," Lu Chen said with a smile.

Keeping the New Year, that is, not sleeping on the last night of the old year, staying up late to welcome the arrival of the new year, also called Chinese New Year's Eve Keeping the New Year, commonly known as "staying up the year".

Exploring the origin of this custom, there is an interesting story among the folk: in the ancient times, there was a fierce monster scattered in the deep mountains and dense forests, and people called them "Nian".

Its appearance is hideous, ferocious by nature, specializing in birds and animals, scaly insects, changing a taste every day, from kowtow insects to eating big living people, making people talk about the "year" color change. Later, people slowly grasped the activity law of "Nian", which is to go to the place where the crowd gathers once every 365 days to taste the freshness, and the time of haunting is after dark, and when the rooster crows at dawn, they will return to the mountains and forests.

After calculating the date when the "New Year" was raging, the people regarded this terrible night as a pass, called it "New Year's Pass", and came up with a whole set of ways to pass the New Year's Pass: Every night on this day, every household prepared dinner in advance, turned out the fire and cleaned the stove, and then tied all the chicken pens and cattle pens, sealed the front and rear doors of the house, and hid in the house to eat "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner."

In addition to asking the whole family to dine together to express harmony and reunion, it is also necessary to offer sacrifices to the ancestors before eating, pray for the blessing of the ancestors, and spend the night peacefully. The habit of staying up on Chinese New Year's Eve has gradually formed.

Lu Chen followed his father-in-law, uncle, and uncle to live a very lively life together this year, and after the third year of junior high school, people began to come to the New Year's greetings one after another, and Lu Chen followed to deal with it. Because Wujimen now has a lot of power in Binhai, there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings this year.

Seeing this situation, Shigong, Uncle and Uncle were very happy, which marked the beginning of the growth of Wujimen. Shigong Qin Baichuan also gave each of these children a New Year's money.

New Year's money, Han New Year's customs, meaning to ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, bless peace. The original intention of the New Year's money was to suppress evil and drive away evil spirits. Because people believe that children are susceptible to sneaky victims, they use New Year's money to drive away evil spirits, help children celebrate the New Year safely, and wish children health and peace in the new year.

During the Spring Festival, the elders should put the pre-prepared New Year's money into the red envelope and distribute it to the younger generation, according to legend, the New Year's money can suppress the evil, because the "year" and "Zhen" homonym, the younger generation can get the New Year's money to spend a year peacefully. New Year's money is generally distributed by the elders to the younger generations during the countdown to the New Year, indicating the New Year's money.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a little demon with black hands and white hands, whose name was "Zhen", who came out to harm people every year on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and touched the sleeping child's head three times with its hand, and the child was frightened and cried, and then he had a fever, talked in his dreams and got sick from then on, and after a few days the fever subsided, but the smart and clever child became a demented and crazy fool. People are afraid that they will harm their children, so they light the lamps and sit still, which is called "guarding".

There is a family surnamed Guan in Jiaxing Mansion, and the husband and wife have children in old age, which is regarded as the pearl of the palm. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they forced the child to play for fear of harming them. The child wrapped eight copper coins in red paper, unwrapped the bag, unwrapped it again, and played until he fell asleep, and then put the wrapped eight copper coins on the pillow.

The couple didn't dare to close their eyes, and kept vigil next to the child all night. In the middle of the night, a strong wind blew open the door and blew out the lights, and when the little black man touched the child's head with his white hand, a bright light cracked from the child's pillow, and he hurriedly retracted his hand and ran away screaming.

The Guan couple told everyone about the scare away by wrapping eight copper coins in red paper. Everyone also learned to wrap eight copper coins in red paper after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and handed them to the children to put on their pillows, and sure enough, they would never dare to harm the children again. It turned out that these eight copper coins were changed by the eight immortals, and they secretly helped the children to scare away the trouble, so people called this money "pressure money". And because of the homonym of "祟" and "year", it is called "New Year's money" with the passage of time.

The children's is "pressing money", and the elderly's is "pressing money". The "New Year's money" of the elderly means that they can live a few more years so that they will not grow in age.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, "the colored rope is woven into the shape of a dragon, which is called the New Year's money." Those who respect the elders and give children are also called New Year's money". Therefore, in some places, giving children New Year's money is called "string money".

In modern times, it has evolved into a red paper wrap of 100 copper coins to give to younger generations, meaning "long life and 100 years old". For the younger generations who have become adults, a silver dollar is placed in the red paper bag, which means "a million profits". After the currency is changed to paper money, the elders like to go to the bank to exchange the new banknotes with the face number connected to the child, wishing the child "succession and prosperity".

On this day, there were a few special guests from Wuji Gate, two men and two women, it was none other than Lin Xuan and Lin Jie, as well as their parents who came to Qin Baichuan to pay New Year's greetings, and at the same time, they officially came to Wuji Gate to meet and walk around.

It can be regarded as a courtesy, because when Lu Chen came to Emeilin's house before, he gave them so many big gifts. Lin Xuan's family was very grateful, but this time they came to visit Qin Baichuan. The so-called people of Emei are the people of Emei, but Qin Baichuan is also the master of the sect, and they are very famous, and it is Lu Chen's elders who came to visit.
