The couplet was bought by his mother Liu Xia, in fact, Wang Dong learned calligraphy when he was a child, and he also contacted him for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't stick to it, and he forgot it after elementary school, so that now, even a blessing word is written crookedly.
In fact, in the past, there would be door gods and window flowers, but now it is not popular, and there are fewer stickers, and gradually there will be no more.
Wang Dong remembered that when he was a child, his grandmother's house had posted door gods, and one of them was Qin Qiong, that is, a character in the biography of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The door god is a symbol of righteousness and force, and the ancients believed that people with surprising appearance often have magical temperament and extraordinary skills.
They are upright and kind-hearted, and it is their nature and responsibility to hunt ghosts and catch demons. Therefore, the door gods of the Han people are always angry-eyed, hideous, holding all kinds of traditional weapons in their hands, ready to fight with the ghosts who dare to come to the door. Since the doors of our people's houses are usually two open, the door gods are always in pairs.
After the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the two generals of the past Shen Tu and Yu Lei, people regarded Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Gong as the two Tang Dynasty military generals.
According to legend, Tang Taizong was sick and heard the ghost cry outside the door, and he couldn't be at peace all night. So he had the two generals stand guard by the door with their weapons in hand, and the next night there was no more ghostly harassment.
Later, Tang Taizong asked people to draw the images of these two generals and paste them on the door, and this custom began to spread widely among the Han people.
However, there are still a lot of Fu characters. At the same time as pasting the Spring Festival couplets, some people want to paste the word "Fu" on the door, wall and lintel. The word "Fu" is a long-standing folk custom to paste the word "Fu" during the Spring Festival.
The word "Fu" refers to good fortune and good fortune, which entrusts people's yearning for a happy life and wishes for a better 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".
Folk also have the word "Fu" delicately depicted into a variety of patterns, the patterns have birthday star, longevity peach, carp jumping dragon gate, grain harvest, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang and so on.
Soon, Wang Dong finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets, and then lit firecrackers, which are also festive.
In my mother's words, a girl, or a girl from the countryside, can't cook, how can she do it, because she saw Wang Wei playing crazy, so she pulled it back, and if she didn't learn to make dumplings, she wasn't allowed to go out to play.
This is a bitter Wang Wei, with a small face wrinkled, Wang Wei, who usually only makes noodles, when has she ever made dumplings, not to mention the crookedness, and the side has not been pinched tightly.
Wang Dong estimated that when the time came, he would not eat steamed buns, but drink steamed bun soup.
Because my mother has always had a little high blood pressure, she originally prepared to fry vegetables, so she gave up because the oil is too big, which is not good for the body.
In the past, there was always a little fried at home, radish balls, potato balls, and small crispy meat. Wang Dong remembered that when he was a child, he hoped that he could eat delicious food at this time.
"Big brother, you say, why do we have to keep the New Year?" In the evening, before the Spring Festival Gala started, Wang Wei looked at the boring TV and asked a little absent-mindedly.
"Hehe, this, there are really several theories, I'll just say one of them."
Once upon a time, there was a youkai named "Yuki". This guy specializes in harming people, especially when he sees a beautiful girl in a house, he will go and spoil her at night. And then I had to eat the girl before I was willing.
The common people hate it to death, but there is nothing they can do.
There was a hunter named Shichiro, who was extremely powerful, shot arrows very well, and fed the dogs very well, and any beast dared to fight. Shichiro saw that the people were suffering from "Xi", so he wanted to get rid of him. He took his dog to look for "Xi" everywhere, but he never found it. It turns out that the "eve" does not come out during the day, and it only comes out after the sun sets to harm people, and it disappears after midnight, and no one knows where it lives.
Qilang looked for "Xi" for a year, this day was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, he came to a town, saw that people were happy and ready for the New Year, thinking, this town is big, there are many people, there are many girls, maybe "Xi" is coming. He went to the people in the town to prepare for a consultation, saying that "Xi" was most afraid of sounds, and told everyone not to sleep when it was dark. Find more things that knock loudly and put them at home, and knock hard whenever there is movement, so as to scare the "Xi" out and get rid of it.
That night, "Eve" really came, and he was found as soon as he broke into a house. The family immediately knocked on the pots and pots, and as soon as this family knocked on them, the whole town followed suit. "Xi" was so frightened that he ran around, but was seen by Shichiro. Shichiro released the hounds to bite him, and Yuki got into a fight with Shichiro and the dogs. When the people heard that there was a killing outside, they all picked up things and knocked on them loudly. At this time, "Xi" was a little unable to fight, and wanted to run away, but he didn't know that his hind legs were bitten by a hunting dog. Shichiro took the opportunity to shoot with his bow and shot "Yu" to death with one arrow.
Since then, people have called the 30th month of the lunar month "Chinese New Year's Eve". On this night, every family has to keep watch for the New Year and set off artillery to drive away bad luck and welcome happiness and auspiciousness.
While talking, the Spring Festival Gala has begun, and the punctual eight o'clock is the same every year. It's just that in the past two years, one of the original pillars, Lao Zhao has retreated behind the scenes and is no longer performing on stage, after all, he is old and his energy can't keep up, but for so many years, for the dedication of the Spring Festival Gala, it is also worthy of everyone's applause.
used to be a trilogy of abduction, how many people laughed and cried. Although Lao Zhao has retreated into the background, he has also ushered in a lot of newcomers, which also brings a lot of joy to everyone.
"Big brother, look at it, it's so powerful, how did it become, I didn't even see it." But it was a magic show, which made Wang Wei stunned and didn't know what to do.
In Wang Wei's heart, the eldest brother is omnipotent, so he didn't understand what was going on, so he asked Wang Dong to explain.
It's a pity that Wang Dong was distracted just now, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, so he had to prevaricate. Seeing the laughing mother and little sister, Wang Dong also smiled with satisfaction, what is better than being a family together, happy and happy.
Family harmony, that's the best. Just like some people, even if they are worth hundreds of millions, but because of their family property, they have all gone to the court, where is the family affection.
Wang Dong swore that he must let this atmosphere be maintained, and no one can destroy it, otherwise, he will be the target of his revenge, and the first one is the Gao family.
Wang Dong is not a character who will be revenged, but if you bully me, I will not only fight back, but also shoot you to death.
You respect me a foot, and I pay you back. But if you bully me once, I'll pay it back.
Happy times are always short-lived, and soon the Spring Festival Gala will come to an end, which means that it will be twelve o'clock soon.
One night, in addition to watching the party, Wang Dong was also busy greeting the New Year. That's right, it's New Year's greetings. In the past, it was to send greeting cards, postcards, and later, it was to make phone calls, then to make text messages, and now, it has become the Internet, QQ, or WeChat New Year's greetings. It's a young man's hand, and the mobile phone will be dripping
The ringing is non-stop, and now it is also pointed out that the red envelopes are being sent, which adds a lot of festive atmosphere.
"Little sister, your New Year's money, Mom, there are yours too." Wang Dong handed over two red envelopes, and in the countryside, there is a saying that red envelopes are used to press the waist, which means that he will make money in the coming year and earn it until he bends over.
In rural areas, there are many families who will also make offerings and put fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and meat. With the rumbling of firecrackers, the new year begins.
Wang Dong was the same, carrying a large ball of firecrackers, crackling and ringing. The life of the New Year is like the firelight, prosperous.
Wang Dong didn't understand these offerings, so he had to do what his mother said. I remember when I was a child, the Wang Dong brothers and sisters liked this time the most, because after the offering, there would be a lot of delicious food. Back then, although it was bitter, it was also very happy. After helping my mother get it done, after cleaning up, Wang Dong went back to sleep.
