In Osmanthus's memory, the Midyear Festival is nothing more than burning paper for the dead soul at night to send money.

But when she saw the Zhongyuan Festival of the Mingluo Dynasty, she completely understood how strict modern people had to be in simplifying some traditional festivals.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, paper money, paper people and other things are burned to relatives and friends who have passed away, so as early as three or four days in advance, the little daughters-in-law and eldest girls in Qinhe Village, but all pregnant women who are not pregnant, all began to get together in twos and threes, wrapped in paper ingots, and the men tied up all kinds of paper people, paper cows and horses and other things.

In fact, these things are also sold in the grocery stores in the town, but because the prices are not low, most of the people who buy them are from wealthy families.

For this kind of similar handicrafts, osmanthus has always only been a part of seeing, but it can't be intervened.

The number of paper people or paper cows and horses does not need too much, and some people have more money, so they buy more yellow paper and tie more.

But there is such a thing as paper ingots, the more the better.

In the consciousness of these simple villagers, the more they fold and burn, the better the relatives who have already arrived in another world will be able to live.

Although the Chu family has been separated, festivals like this still have to be prepared together.

Old Man Chu spoke, and the family paid fifty yuan, counting his share with the Xu family and Chu Liwan, a total of two hundred yuan.

Of the 200 wen, 100 wen was used to buy the yellow paper to be burned during the mid-year festival, and the remaining 100 wen was used to prepare the offerings needed for the mid-year festival.

Of course, these are based on the principle of more refund and less compensation.

However, Osmanthus didn't expect that the fifty yuan handed over by her family would be returned.

As for the offerings of the Midyear Festival, they are not as grand as the Spring Festival Lantern Festival and the like.

On the contrary, most of the offerings for the Midyear Festival are mainly cereals.

Waiting for Osmanthus under the leadership of her family, she came to her own crop field with the five-colored confetti that had been cut out long ago, and hung these five-colored confetti on the crops, which was to pray for a good harvest of crops.

This is definitely the hardest work done by Osmanthus, because most of these five-colored confetti come from her hands.

Showing your own results, the feeling is naturally different.

In addition, each house will prepare a lantern with a different shape.

There are no hard and fast requirements for the color and shape of the lanterns, and everything depends on the idea of the maker.

Although the name is a lantern, the actual shape is not necessarily what the flower looks like.

Some wax oil will be placed in the wick of the lantern, and a cotton thread will be wrapped in the middle, and some people will use the remaining candle holder from the year to replace it.

When it gets dark, the ancestors and spirits have been cleansed, and the people have eaten, the married man will take the lantern to the river and light it, and then the lanterns will float away along the water.

As for what this lantern is going to do, Osmanthus still heard the reason from Chu Lishou.

It turns out that these lanterns are for those ghosts who have died in vain and cannot be reborn.

It is said that if a ghost can catch one of the lanterns, he will be reincarnated as a human being.

After hearing this, osmanthus realized that it was actually just a way for people to accumulate blessings!

However, watching the lanterns has become a very interesting game in the hearts of children.
