"Really, it's so awesome, haha, yes, I'm lacking this Dongdong, and I'm going to prepare some small gifts for relatives and friends for the New Year. It also happened that the green wood warm jade came to practice his hands and carve some gadgets. When Yang Jibin heard the explanation, his eyes lit up, the real thing can't be disguised.

It's just such a small thing, it's still a top-level magic weapon, with fire attributes, which can increase the probability of success and the probability of attaching fire attributes, at least it's a small superlative.

Then Yang Jibin walked out of the hut, looked at the double-pupiled rat couple who had built a new rat nest near the hut, and said to Xiao Zi: "Xiao Gu Liang, can you do it, it's been so long, these big pupils and pupils haven't been trained yet, when can they talk to people?" And that pupil flower, when will it give birth? It's not really going to be a October pregnancy, is it? ”

"What's the hurry, don't you think all animals are as smart as you?" Xiaozi was very dissatisfied with Yang Jibin's questioning.

"Are you praising me or scolding me? Or are rabbits growing fast, they're all so big, when do they start giving birth? And when did that pair of rainbow carp lay eggs? I can't wait, I really want to taste what it is! Yang Jibin looked at these two new endangered animals, and his eyes were very greedy, and the encyclopedia said that these are all delicious in the world.

"Woohoo." Rhubarb also stood up to support Yang Jibin.

"You should be playing with the buckle ranch, you can blow it big in one breath, and you can get out of the circle in a few days? What a pair of foodies! Don't hurry up and practice, the last time Raiders of the Lost Ark was lucky for you to come back alive, but next time it may not be! Foshan has no shadow feet! Xiao Zi really couldn't stand the eyes of the pair of foodies, and he kicked Yang Jibin, who was in a daze, into the air.

"Xiao Mushroom Liang, you are too much, you can't be killed! Why do you lift my ass every time! Yang Jibin shot out like a cannonball. In mid-air, he angrily accuses the humanoid tyrannosaurus of its crimes.

……

With the approach of the Spring Festival, migrant workers who went out to work rushed back to their hometowns from all over the country. The flavor of the New Year on the land of China is getting stronger and stronger, and various preparatory activities for the Spring Festival have kicked off one after another.

"Boy, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba; Laba porridge and drink it for a few days. Twenty-three; Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; twenty-four, sweep the house; Twenty-five, paste the windows; xxvi, stewed pork; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eight, flour hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights stay up all night; On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the street twisted. ”

The nursery rhymes are all about preparing for the New Year, plus the New Year's money for the Spring Festival and the amusement and celebration that lasts until the fifteenth. It is the most anticipated and happiest time of the year for children.

After a day of cleaning, every household is brand new, and tomorrow we will start to paste new peach charms, New Year couplets, etc., which will look spiritual and New Year's flavor.

The next morning, many people were holding red papers, which were all red paper in couplets, but there were no words on them. They have to get some elders who are highly respected and have good calligraphy.

Twenty years later. The Spring Festival couplets posted by every household are basically industrial prints. You can buy it directly on the street, and you can post it right away, so you don't have to find someone to write it.

It's just that at this time, Yangjiazhai still retains this tradition, and usually, it is inscribed by the clan elders, old village chiefs and others. And Yang Yiren, as the head of the family, is not only because of his identity. What's more, his calligraphy is quite praised, and he works hard, and he will be busy for a day or two at this time of year.

When he got up early in the morning, Feng used tapioca flour and boiling water to make a paste. It is used to glue couplets and so on. Yang Xianda has gone home from spring break, and today he is in charge of posting couplets.

Spring Festival couplets are also known as "door pairs" and "spring posts", which are a kind of couplets, because they are posted during the Spring Festival, hence the name. One of the sources of the Spring Festival couplets is the peach charm. At first, people carved human figures in peach wood and hung them next to the door to ward off evil spirits, and later painted the image of the door god on the peach wood, and then simplified it to inscribe the name of the door god on the peach wood board. Another source of Spring Festival couplets is spring stickers. The ancients pasted the word "Yichun" on the beginning of spring, and then gradually developed into Spring Festival couplets. The real popularity of Spring Festival couplets began in the Ming Dynasty and was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's advocacy.

Originally, the Spring Festival couplets were inscribed on a peach board, and later rewritten on paper. The color of peach wood is red, and red has the meaning of auspiciousness and warding off evil, so most of the Spring Festival couplets are written on red paper.

However, the temple uses yellow paper, and the system is guarded with white, green, and yellow. In the first year, white paper was used, green paper was used in the second year, yellow paper was used in the third year, and red paper was restored in the fourth year when the mourning clothes were full. Because the Manchus are still white, the Qing court Spring Festival couplets use white paper. The blue border is wrapped on the outside. The red bar is set inside.

The Spring Festival is celebrated all over the world, so in addition to the Spring Festival couplets to be pasted at the door of each house, the pig house, chicken and duck house and other places should also be pasted couplets, implying the prosperity of six animals, the format is generally full of chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep are flocks, and six animals are prosperous.

There are also couplets of the gods in the Spring Festival couplets: the Spring Festival couplets of "The Lord of the Stove" are: The heavens say good things, and the lower world descends auspicious. It means that the god of the stove will say more good things when he reports to the Jade Emperor after going to heaven, and when he comes back, he will be auspicious, commonly known as sending the god of the stove and so on.

The big trees in the yard need to be pasted with "big roots and deep roots", the walls in the yard need to be pasted with "bright spring", the wall by the kang at home needs to be pasted with "happiness and health", and the kitchen needs to be pasted with "diligence and thrift".

Yang Yiren waved the brush, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced on the red paper to write a couplet on the door of his house: "Shanglian: Huitong Neighborhood, the door welcomes spring, summer, autumn and winter; Downlink: Treat Shixian with sincerity, and accept the wealth of the southeast and northwest; Horizontal batch: auspicious stars shine brightly. ”

After the Spring Festival couplets are posted, it will be followed by the door god. The door god is a kind of painting pasted on the door during the Lunar New Year, and its main role is to drive away evil spirits and ward off ghosts, protect the house, keep peace, help utilitarianism, and reduce auspiciousness. The door gods can be divided into ghost hunting, blessing, Taoism, military generals and civil officials. It is the deity that guards the gateway of Taoism and folk beliefs, and is one of the most popular patron deities among the people.

The original door god was carved into peach wood in the shape of a person, so it was also called a peach charm, hanging next to the person, and later it was painted as a door god and posted on the door. The legendary Shen Tu and Yu Lei brothers specialize in taking care of ghosts, and they guard the portal.

Big and small evil ghosts don't dare to get started. In the Tang Dynasty, another door god appeared, that is, Zhong Kui, who not only hunted ghosts, but also ate ghosts, so people often pasted Zhong Kui's image on the door on Chinese New Year's Eve or Dragon Boat Festival. It is used to suppress demons and destroy demons.

Later, there were two portraits of fierce generals Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde as door gods. There are also paintings of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as door gods. The door god statue is a left and right household, and the descendants often draw a pair of door gods as a text and a martial arts.

There are three types of door gods.

The first type is the "gate god", which is mostly attached to the door of the car or the entire door, about four or five feet high and about two or three feet wide.

The second type is the "street door god", which is mostly attached to the small street door, about two feet high and about one foot wide. These two door gods are two gods, one with a black face and one with a white face. White left and black right, white good and easy, black and evil, each holding a lance.

The third type is the "house door god", which is slightly smaller and more limited than the street door god, and it is also a black and white god, but there are also black and white gods who are seated statues. The door of the house is at most pasted with the image of "unicorn sending children", two dolls of Fu powder grease comb crown of the prince, each riding a unicorn. This kind of door god should have been pasted on the door of the newly married house to take good fortune, and later it was also used as a New Year's decoration for ordinary street doors.

Then, it was the turn of the word "blessing". Sticking the word "Fu" during the Spring Festival is a long-standing folk custom in China. 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". Some people also explain that blessings fall from the sky, that is, they come down.

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.

After lunch, Yang Jibin called Yang Jigang, Yang Jiya, Yang Jishun and Yang Jixia and a few other small radish heads to go to the town to buy delicious and fun together. The Spring Festival is approaching, it is already a county with a large population, and a large number of migrant workers have returned to their hometowns, and the pedestrian flow on the street has increased suddenly.
