Shen Tianlin nodded, smiled again, looked at them with a relieved look and said, "Now, there is not so much attention, no, the twenty-fourth is the dust sweeping day, but now we are sweeping the dust." ”

"This dust sweeping day, some places call it dust sweeping day, and some places say sweeping the house. But in any case, the house must be cleaned on the twenty-fourth day. Xiao Yiwei likes to read, and he has some Confucian morale, these things can be said to be at his fingertips.

"Uncle Xiao, is there any origin for the Dust Sweeping Day?" Shen Qingfei asked, about the Chinese festival, there must be legends or related characters, everyone gives good wishes, so there are all kinds of beautiful legends.

Xiao Yiwei nodded and told them about this dust-sweeping day. "Legend has it that this ancient man believed that there was a three-corpse god attached to the body of people, and he was like a shadow, following the whereabouts of people, inseparable. The Three Corpse God is a guy who likes to flatter and tell right and wrong, and he often spreads rumors in front of the Jade Emperor and describes the world as ugly. Over time, in the impression of the Jade Emperor, the world was simply a dirty world full of sin. ”

After a pause, Xiao Yiwei continued: "Once." The three corpse gods reported that the world was cursing the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor was furious, and issued a decree to quickly find out the chaos in the world, and all those who complained against the gods and blasphemed the gods were to write their crimes under the eaves. Then let the spider spread its web to cover it as a mark. The Jade Emperor also ordered Wang Lingguan to go to the Nether on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and kill all the people who were marked, and leave no one behind. ”

"And then?" Shen Qingkai squatted on the ground. looked at Xiao Yiwei like a child.

Shen Zhiyue looked sour in his heart, when the children were young, he really didn't fully fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

Shen Qinglin heard what the people in the living room were saying, and when he came out of the kitchen, he heard Xiao Yiwei telling a story to his two younger brothers, and his heart warmed slightly, these things they had envied when they were children. However, the elders did not have time to tell them this, also in order to give them a good environment. Let them read. Grow. It's not too late to make up the memories from my childhood. People, no matter when, as long as you are willing to do something. It's never too late.

Xiao Yiwei didn't know that Shen Qinglin was also listening. After eating Shen Zhiyue's cannon. And then he said, "And ah...... Seeing that this plan was about to succeed, this three-corpse god flew down to the mortal realm, regardless of whether it was green or bad. Viciously mark the eaves and corners of each house, so that the Wang Ling Palace can be slaughtered. Just as the three corpse gods were doing evil, the stove king found out about his whereabouts, was shocked, and hurriedly found the stove princes to discuss countermeasures. Therefore, a good plan was come up, on the day of the 23rd day of the lunar month, before the stove was received on Chinese New Year's Eve, each household must clean the house, and if any household is not clean, the king of the stove will refuse to enter the house. ”

Shen Zhiyue looked at the two children, and didn't care that he was going to lose again, and saw that Xiao Yiwei was thirsty, so he poured a glass of water for his in-laws.

Xiao Yiwei smiled at Shen Zhiyue and nodded, and finished the story. Later, everyone followed the instructions of the Lord of the Stove before his ascension to heaven, swept away the dust, dusted off the cobwebs, wiped the doors and windows, and cleaned their houses to a new look. When Wang Lingguan was ordered to inspect the Nether on Chinese New Year's Eve, he found that the windows of every household were bright and clean, the lights were brilliant, people were happy to reunite, and the world was extremely beautiful. Wang Lingguan could not find a sign of bad deeds, and he was very strange, so he rushed back to heaven and told the Jade Emperor about the peace and happiness on earth and the wish for a good New Year. The Jade Emperor was greatly shocked when he heard this, and issued an edict to detain the three corpse gods, and ordered three hundred palms and mouths to be imprisoned forever. Later, in order to thank the king of the stove, the dust was always after the stove was delivered. ”

Shen Qingkai nodded, "Then twenty-four is what cleaning means!" ”

Xiao Yiwei drank the water in the water cup, looked at Shen Qingkai and said with a smile: "It's not just about cleaning, I remember that there is a record in this "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" that there was a custom of sweeping dust during the Spring Festival in the Yaoshun era. 'Dust' is homophonic to 'Chen', and sweeping dust also has the meaning of 'removing Chen Buxin', which is to sweep away all 'poor luck' and 'bad luck'. It is also a desire to break with the old and create a new one, and a prayer to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. ”

"Uncle Xiao, you know so much!" Shen Qingkai raised his thumb, worthy of being a university professor.

"If you read more books on this, you'll know too!" Xiao Yiwei smiled and shook his head, people who like to read books have to read this kind of book to know. If you read other types of books, who will write this.

Shen Zhiyue saw that Shen Qingkai was starting to pack up his things again, so he asked with a smile. "Akai, do you know what the door god is all about?"

"Isn't it that Tang Taizong Li Shimin always dreams when he sleeps at night, and always feels that he can hear the ghost crying and howling, and he can't sleep at night. Then Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong stood on both sides of the palace gate with their bodies draped, and as a result, Taizong slept soundly that night. But you can't let the generals stand guard every day, so let people paint their mighty images on the palace gate, which is the origin of the door god. Am I right? Shen Qingkai smiled proudly, the story of the door god, he still learned it when he was in school!

"It's okay, I didn't pay it all back to the teacher." Shen Zhiyue nodded, very satisfied with the answer he heard.

Shen Qingkai rolled his eyes, where was he so stupid.

Xiao Shuhong chuckled, and just wanted to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Qinglin standing next to him laughing, so he said, "Boss, since you don't have anything to do, come and help!" Otherwise, we won't be able to clean it up later, and my little sister will have to do it. ”

"You're almost done, so I won't mess around." Shen Qinglin smiled, at home, Shen Qinglin was still relatively relaxed, and there was more smile on his face. "You guys hurry up, and the steamed buns will be ready in no time. I didn't steam too much, but I couldn't eat steamed buns every day for the New Year. ”

Xiao Shuyu immediately collapsed, "But I don't want to eat dumplings every day for the New Year." ”

"I heard Xiaoya say that on the evening of thirty nights, I must eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year, and the rest of the time should be similar to a normal meal. If someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, they may make dumplings, but if they don't have their own family, they will definitely not eat dumplings every day. Shen Qingfei said, Shu Ya and Qin Qing made a lot of dumplings, and they were quick-frozen, and when they wanted to eat them in the future, they could cook them by themselves.

"That's good! You don't know, one year my little sister didn't go home for the New Year, my mother was in a bad mood, so she made a lot of dumplings, I ate from thirty to fourteen, and I was about to vomit. Xiao Shuyu thinks about it now, and there is an urge to vomit. (To be continued.) )
