Chapter 390: The Third Day of the Lunar New Year

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there are many taboos on this day, and it can be said that this day is not a good day.

Chu Jiaqiang saw Jackton and others next door sweeping the floor, probably because he couldn't get used to seeing so much garbage on the ground. He hurriedly went over and said to them, "You can't sweep the floor today, let's do it in two days!" Bear with me. ”

Generally speaking, from the first to the third year of junior high school, try not to sweep the floor, and will sweep away all the gold and silver treasures in the house, so on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everything will be cleaned. During the Chinese New Year, don't clean anymore and reduce garbage at the same time.

If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep it in from the outside, and you can't throw away the garbage. Also, you can't hit your child during the Chinese New Year, these are things you can't do.

"There are too many rules in China!" Jackton and others deeply feel this, especially festivals, there are so many things to pay attention to, if you are not used to it, you can't remember so much at all.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't enter the door, just talking at the door of their house. Today, it is not suitable to enter someone else's home.

The third day of the first lunar month is called "Xiao Nian Chao", also known as "Red Dog Day". Legend has it that "Red Dog" is the "God of Wrath", and those who meet him will definitely be unlucky, so the third day of the first month is a "fierce day", and it is not suitable to go out.

It is said that whoever you pay New Year's greetings with on the third day of junior high school will quarrel with whom, so you don't pay New Year's greetings; In addition, the word "deficit" has the meaning of "extreme poverty", so the people do not feast on this day, and will offend the "red dog" and bring poverty. Therefore, it is best to stay at home on this day and not go to any relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings.

However, modern society. Especially in the city, these feudal superstitions have been broken, and there are no taboos.

Meantime. I heard that this day is the day of "rat marriage", and after dark, the lights must be turned off early and go to bed so that the rat family can hold a wedding; And sprinkle salt and rice all over the house, which is called "rat money".

As for the source of the story of "rat marrying", it may be because the third day of the junior high school is "Red Dog Day", and everything is inappropriate, in order to avoid evil, so it is an excuse to go to bed early; Again. I have been busy for a while from the Chinese New Year to the first and second days of the new year, and if I don't rest earlier, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue my physical strength and be unable to complete other tasks.

As for the New Year's ballad, it says: "The first morning of the new year, the second morning of the first month, and the third day of the new year are full", that is, the third day of the new year is not only the day of the red dog. And after a few days of busyness, in the third year of junior high school, it finally came to an end, you can get up later, make up for the first two days of sleep, and keep healthy for a long time.

Other than that. In the north, this day is still the day of the sheep, the day when Nuwa makes the sheep, so it is called the "day of the sheep". On this day, people are not allowed to kill sheep. If the weather is good, it means the whole year. The sheep will be raised well, and the sheep keepers will have a good harvest.

It seems that many places in the south say that this day is Guzi's birthday, so everyone abstains from eating rice, of course, Chujiazhai does not have this custom. The South is originally a place to eat, what to eat without eating?

There are many customs and legends about the third day of the Lunar New Year from ancient times to the present, some good and some bad, but the ultimate goal is to pray for blessings.

Although you can't go to other people's houses to play, you can still make an appointment and go out together. It's also boring to stay at home, Chu Jiaqiang went out for a walk with Ye Caiping and Chu Jiawan. Jackton and the others were also panicked, and when they heard the news, they also followed. In the past two days, many people have been visiting relatives and friends, and no one has played with them, so they are naturally bored.

On the way, I saw some children running around with a small lantern, and they were very happy. In previous years, they were reluctant to buy such things. Two yuan a piece, and suddenly there was no red envelope, so they were not happy. That is, this year, it seems a little "rich".

"I heard that there is a big circus in the town, do you want to go and see it?" Ye Caiping asked.

When I went back to my parents' house yesterday, my father revealed the news. It is also the first time that Heqian Town has invited a big circus to perform, and it seems that Heqian Town has developed very well last year, so I specially invited it back to celebrate.

"It's okay, when I get there, I'll call my mother out too, stay at home and panic." Chu Jiaqiang said.

He had never seen a circus, so he went to see it. The big circus belongs to the acrobatic category, which many people like, and there is no age limit and there is no distinction between young and old.

Originally referring to the performance made by man on horseback, it is now a general term for all kinds of wild beasts and bird taming performances. It refers to a comprehensive performance of horse taming, horse skills, large and medium-sized animal plays, and high-altitude programs, including some acrobatics, magic and burlesque, etc., which are mostly performed in the horse enclosure of large venues. There are forms such as actors directing animals to perform various tricks or actors performing various skills on animals.

Don't think that this is the rise of modern times, when the ancient Han Dynasty in our country, the circus has already appeared. It has a history of nearly 2,000 years, and its main form of expression is the performance of various movements performed by people who have mastered certain skills on horses. In modern times, the nature of the circus has changed greatly, and in addition to the horse project, dozens of animals have been added to participate in acrobatic performances. Therefore, it is highly ornamental and entertaining.

The children in the village also want to go and see, but they are reluctant to pay, although the red envelopes this year have a lot of income, but a door of forty or fifty, still makes them feel pain.

"Huh! If you want to go, sign up and queue up, and take the bus out for a while, and someone will carry the ticket. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the children no longer had any scruples, and lined up one by one, waiting for the bus to come down. Jackton and the others don't care, what if they charter the entire circus? Just throw a few bundles of money and go out.

After the big circus started, everyone saw a tiger appear on the stage, and began to follow the guidance of the animal trainer to quickly drill into the fire ring, which won the applause of many audiences.

"This tiger doesn't have the prestige of Uncle Qiang's family." A child said secretly.

The people on the side are deeply sympathetic, although these tigers are very obedient, but they have lost the majesty that tigers should have, they are tigers and not tigers, which makes people feel very weird.

Then, it's the monkeys who come out. The monkey is a primate, known for its intelligence, and the sight of it wandering around on a bicycle also makes these uninformed rural people exclaim.

The people of Chujiazhai thought that the small animals in Chu Jiaqiang's house were smart, but they didn't expect that there were also outside. They don't know that these animals have gone through a long period of training and torture to be so obedient now.

It can be said that these animals now have such skills, in fact, because there are more sparring partners, forming a habitual movement, which does not mean that they are smart.

Then, a couple of clowns came up. The kids cheered, and it seemed that the clown was also very popular. This role should be said to be imported from abroad.
