A busy day has passed, and everyone is a little relieved that the cleaning is over. Yesterday, it was probably the gringos who were the most relaxed. They didn't pay much attention to it, and they just swept the floor with the crowd and so on, and they didn't make a big deal.

Because this year is more special, there is no Chinese New Year's Eve, so today is the last day of the year, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve. In the afternoon, everyone has to get busy again. Killing chickens and worshipping gods, worshipping ancestors, and so on. In addition, in Chujiazhai, the posting of couplets and so on is also carried out today.

Chu Jiaqiang and the others were pasting peach charms when they heard the stinking sound of General Tang Lao next to them.

"It's such a big person, I can't do this thing, what books have I read before?"

"What did Brother Tang do wrong again? The old man was so angry. Chu Jiaqiang's cousin sneaked over to watch the excitement. In the past, she liked to watch Tang Liye being taught a lesson by the old general.

"Girl, what are you going to do? Come back! Old Madam Wu immediately stopped this active girl.

Wu Xue had no choice but to stop and wait for her grandmother to walk into the house, and then she pulled Chu Jiaqiang and the others over together.

I saw that Tang Liye was criticized as a grandson, in fact, he was indeed the grandson of General Tang, and he was not afraid of laughing. Seeing Chu Jiaqiang and others running over to watch, his face was extremely unnatural.

"I usually know how to be idle!" Tang Liye's Lao Tzu had just come down from the capital, and when Tang Lao finished teaching, he didn't say a few words.

Wu Li leaned over and touched Tang Liye's shoulder: "Brother Tang, what did you do wrong?" ”

Tang Liye was naturally ashamed to speak. His eyes widened: "What are you inquiring about?" Let's play! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! ”

Chu Jiaqiang looked at the couplets on both sides of the door, and immediately understood why Tang Liye was scolded. That guy made a mistake between the two up and down, so naturally he had to be scolded! You can see it. Wu Li and the others should have made the same mistake, because they haven't seen anything wrong with the couplet until now.

Couplets are also called door pairs, spring stickers, spring couplets, pairs, peach symbols, etc., it depicts the background of the times with neat, dual, concise and exquisite words, expresses good wishes, and is a unique form in our country. Every Spring Festival, whether in the city or in the countryside, every household must select a pair of red Spring Festival couplets to paste on the door. Add a festive touch to the festive season.

Chu Jiaqiang pointed to the Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the door, indicating where the problem was!

But Wu Li also asked stupidly: "What's the problem?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they were taught a lesson by Tang Liye's Lao Tzu.

"It's the same with you kid. Usually not doing business, no culture in the brain. ”

Wu Li, that's depressed! Didn't you just ask a few words, why did you scold me too?

"What? Defy? I can't figure out the Spring Festival couplets if they are wrong. Tang Liye's Lao Tzu taught.

"Misplaced? Isn't that the case? Wu Li turned to Chu Jiaqiang.

Chu Jiaqiang didn't know how to answer this guy, so he could only say secretly: It's terrible to be uneducated!

"It seems to be upside down." Chu Jiawan read it. Not quite surely.

"Look! You're all big men. It's not as good as a little girl! ”

"Ahem!" Chu Jiaqiang was also a little speechless, now it's okay, even he is counted.

In fact, in today's society, young people may post opposition associations. It is mainly due to the habit of getting used to the modern reading habit of reading from left to right, plus I don't know much about the Spring Festival couplets.

First of all, distinguish between the upper and lower heads of the door. When facing the gate, the right-hand direction is the upper head, and the left-hand direction is the lower head. When pasting couplets, the upper couplets are pasted at the top. Paste the next head.

The second is to distinguish the upper and lower couplets of the Spring Festival couplets. As far as Chu Jiaqiang knows, there are four ways to distinguish it.

The first is to divide it according to the tone. Spring Festival couplets pay more attention to the tone of the flat. The last word in the upper link is the sound of the voice, and the last word in the lower link should be the flat sound.

The second is according to the causal relationship. "Cause" is the upper link, and "effect" is the lower link. For example, "the direction is right, the urban and rural areas are rich, the policy is wise, and the food and clothing are abundant", because only the "cause" of "urban and rural wealth" will have the "fruit" of "abundant food and clothing".

The third is to divide according to chronological order. The time before is the upper link, and the time after the time is the lower link. For example, "the wind sends the warbler song to say goodbye to the old year, and the snow accompanies the plum fragrance to welcome the new year", "farewell to the old year" is in the front, and "welcome the new year" is in the back.

Fourth, it is divided according to the spatial scope. Generally, the small ones come first, and the big ones come last. For example, "diligence and thrift, the prosperity of the family, unity to build the country and the prosperity of the country". In this couplet, the "country" is bigger than the "home", so the "home" is in the front and the "country" is in the back.

The first method is the most commonly used, after all, the last three are only for a certain type of couplets.

made such a joke, Chu Jiaqiang and the others didn't stay long before they were called back by the second uncle.

The next thing is to worship the gods and ancestors, according to the habits of Chujiazhai, they all go to the temple to worship the gods first, and then come back to worship the ancestors. In the hearts of the people, it is not the ancestors who are not as important as the gods. Instead, he subconsciously thinks that the gods have a higher status in the sky than the ancestors, and they are respectful and orderly!

Ancestor worship is due to the different customs in various places, the form is also different, there are ancestors to worship the ancestral tomb in the wild, some to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and most of the ancestors in the main hall in turn at home, display offerings, and then worshippers according to the order of the elder and youngest incense and kneel down.

In Chujiazhai, it is not popular to go to the wild cemetery to worship, usually to go to the ancestral hall to worship first, and then go home and light incense at the door to worship.

Generally speaking, the people who worship in the ancestral hall are some old ladies and the like, and they are very senior. Those who worship at the door of the house are often ancestors who are closer to each other, such as Chu Jiaqiang's parents, grandparents, and so on.

"Oops! Worship this little guy too! Chu Jiaqiang's cousin shouted.

Everyone looked over and saw that the little squirrel also learned from Chu Jiaqiang, merging its two front paws and bowing three times to the front. Seeing everyone look at it, its eyes were confused for a moment, as if it was thinking about whether it was making a mistake, otherwise how everyone would look at it.

"Alright, let's light the gun!" The second uncle doesn't care about these either.

Chu Jiaqiang was about to go over and light the firecracker, and the monkey immediately volunteered, rushed to the front, pulled out a cigarette, and approached the lead of the firecracker with a trembling note.

"What the hell is this guy capable of! Don't dare to let others get on! Wu Feng said. He saw that the monkey did not light it three or four times, and always retracted before it could touch the lead.

As soon as the monkey was questioned by everyone, the whole monkey's face immediately turned red. It suddenly touched the burning cigarette with the lead, and when it saw the smoke coming from the lead, it threw the cigarette away and jumped to the side immediately.

This time, bursts of firecrackers rang out.

The second aunt and Chu Jiaqiang's aunt, aunt and several other women went to the backyard vegetable garden to pick back the vegetables for the two or three days of the New Year. In Chujiazhai, you can't take vegetables home on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year.

This is different from the outside, which is still keen to pick vegetables on the first day of the new year, so that is: "wealth" arrives, "wealth" comes. (To be continued......)
