Avoid eating porridge, meat and medicine for breakfast: In the past, the regular poor only ate porridge, so they must eat dry rice on the morning of the first day of the new year, indicating that the family will be very rich throughout the year, and the morning of the first day of the new year is called the grand meeting of all gods, which means that all the gods come out to pay their respects, so in order to show respect, first of all, do not eat meat, to eat vegetarian, in addition to being seriously ill and have to eat, it is best not to eat general tonic tonic on the first day of the new year.

Don't call other people's names to urge people to get up: Don't call people's names to urge people to get up on the morning of the first day of the new year, which means that the other party wants people to urge people to do things throughout the year.

Don't greet the other party when they are still sleeping: Don't greet each other when they are still asleep on the first day of the new year, and wait for the other party to get up before greeting the New Year, because this will keep the other party in the hospital bed for the whole year.

If you don't clean on the first day of the new year, you are afraid of sweeping away your wealth.

Similar to these customs, there are various customs from the first day to the fifth day of the new year:

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it marks the end of the "old year" and the beginning of the "new year" of the lunar calendar. On this day, people express their expectations for the new year in the way of keeping the New Year, greeting the New Year, sticking chickens, and setting off firecrackers. At the same time as celebrating the New Year, there have been some taboos among the people, such as not using a broom on the first day of the first month, otherwise it will sweep away luck and attract the "broom star" and cause bad luck.

On the second day of the first lunar month, according to traditional customs, this day is the "legal day" for the married daughter to return to the door and the aunt to pay New Year's greetings to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. This custom is called "eclipse day" by the Chaoshan people.

As the name suggests, it's just lunch, and the daughter has to rush back to her in-laws' house before dinner. In the north, people will worship the God of Wealth on the second day of the first lunar month, and on this day, whether it is a business shop or an ordinary family, they will hold a worship to the God of Wealth, in order to pray for a great fortune this year.

The third day of the first lunar month is the "Little New Year's Dynasty". Legend has it that the third night of the Lunar New Year is the day of "rats marrying", in order to avoid disturbing the "rats", people will turn off the lights early and go to bed, and sprinkle some rice grains and cakes around the house, which means "sharing money with rats"; At the same time, this day is also the birthday of millet, so there is also a custom of avoiding rice.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the whole family gathers together to eat oriro (a hodgepodge of leftovers), clean the house, and pile up garbage in one place to prepare for "throwing the poor".

The fifth day of the first month, also known as the fifth day of the first month. On this day, people get up early in the morning, set off firecrackers, clean up, and throw away the garbage accumulated in the previous days means "sending the poor"; The people have always regarded the fifth day of the first lunar month as the "birthday of the God of Wealth", and in order to profit the market, merchants will choose to open the market on this day; There are many taboos from the first day to the fifth day of the new year, and many taboos can be broken after this day, so people will eat dumplings on the fifth day of the new year to celebrate. ”

This is a custom, and it is not the first time I have heard it, but even if I hear it again, Chen Ya still finds it very interesting.

The customs of the past are like a thread that connects the past and the future of this nation. As long as this thread has not been broken, the past of this nation has always been there, and those splendid civilizations that shine with infinite light are the proudest things of this nation.

Chen Ya has always felt that even in this era of cultural integration, each nation still has its own traditions and customs, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in the nation and are the connecting line of destiny.

As long as this antenna remains, the most primitive interrogation of this nation will not be lost.

Chen Ya is a girl who looks elegant, but has a lot of thoughts in her heart and is a little hot-blooded. She has a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem, and for Chen Ya, the culture of this nation is something to be proud of and proud of, and there is nothing more meaningful for her than promoting national culture.

Many people have said that Chen Ya is a woman who does superficial work.

Since junior high school, she has been very fond of traditional culture, and her attainments in traditional culture have even been unanimously praised by any teacher, and have also attracted the envy of her classmates and friends.

She became the way she is now, becoming less of a personal person, becoming more important than a person, and this is a big part of the reason.

When she was in junior high school, because she was so outstanding in traditional culture, although she did not have the same insight into traditional culture as a professional, she was already a very genius for a junior high school student.

The school had recommended a school for her, and she was planning to go there.

However, it is not necessarily a good thing for people to be too talented, let alone young and vigorous.

I heard that she was recommended by the school, and a lot of gossip followed. Even the people she once considered good friends became jealous and said something slanderous about her.

This left a very bad impression on Chen Ya and made her unable to cheer up for a while. During that extremely sad time, she also lost her school recommendation.

Of course, Chen Ya has not regretted this incident, the recommendation of the school is not so important to her, she likes traditional culture, wants to carry forward the excellent national tradition, this is her own business, has nothing to do with others, and has not risen to the height of the country and the nation, she just wants some like-minded people, say some like-minded words, just want to have what she likes and someone like, want to have someone who really applauds her, and really thinks she is very good.

You don't need many, one is enough.

However, to date, there is not one.

Parents? No, her parents were very supportive of her and thought she had talent in this area, but the applause and flowers that her parents gave her were more because she was their daughter than because of her talent.

Her classmates and friends in junior high school hadn't practiced with her for a long time, and since she graduated, her teachers didn't seem to pay much attention to her anymore. So her junior high school days should be considered a thing of the past.

So, who is the one who really applauds her?

Is it good? Chen Ya didn't dare to think so, in front of this super genius, she felt that she was too small. She once talked about the topic of national customs with Shi Youliang, and Shi Youliang also applauded her sincerely. But Shi Youliang also said to her: "I read books because I like to read, as for the traditional culture of the nation, popular culture or cultural invasion, I haven't considered these issues, and I don't care." ”

This contradicts Chen Ya's point of view, in Chen Ya's choice, it rejects the short-lived pop culture and cultural invasion.

Chen Ya thinks: we must accept the entry of different cultures, promote cultural integration, and make the national interrogation more brilliant and exciting, but we must also refuse cultural invasion, the inappropriate things in the different cultures into our culture will cause an inevitable impact on our interrogation, resulting in the decline of the original glorious national culture.

Just as after the beginning of the industrial age, the question of the nation became weaker and weaker.

Some people say that this is the inevitable result of industrialization, there is no way, compared to culture, industry is really important to the people of today and the talents of the future.

However, this statement is definitely not true, we know from our experience that they developed industrialization earlier, but their culture is better preserved than ours, and in the process of preservation, they have also developed a brilliant national culture.

Therefore, industrialization is not an inevitable condition for the decline of national cultural traditions, and it is cultural invasion that leads to the weakening of national cultural traditions. When a different culture enters, the good part becomes our own thing, and those that are not suitable should be discarded.

It is a pity that in the struggle of modern inspiration, we have faced too many evolutions, lost too many traditions, and those that should have been abandoned will not be mentioned, but those brilliant and excellent, which should have been firmly remembered, but we will forget them.

This is a very sad thing, if it is not handled well, our questioning will one day become a lost enlightenment, and become the civilization of others.

What makes Chen Ya feel very sad is that in this era, if there is a girl holding Western literature, countless people will say: "This girl is so elegant, this girl is so powerful, this girl is a big lady." ”

And if there is a girl holding a book of I Ching in her hand, others will laugh at her: "This girl is so earthy, and she is a great dancer at home." Stay away from her, and you might be cursed. ”

This kind of thinking really makes her very incomprehensible, obviously the I Ching is more difficult, there are many people in the world who can read the 'Brief History of Time', and there are many people who can read the works of Einstein Newton, and no one has ever dared to say that he has studied the I Ching thoroughly.

Zhou Yi's sixty-four hexagrams, as well as pushing back diagrams, these things are clearly one of the most brilliant pages in human wisdom, but they have been abandoned in the dark.

This is the sorrow of the nation and the sorrow of the culture.

Chen Ya has also read "A Brief History of Time", and she feels that the difference between a brief history of time and the Book of Changes is that it describes different principles of the world.

In the final analysis, a brief history of time is nothing more than an argument and conjecture of this universe, and the I Ching is a more practical demonstration of the development of this universe.

We hide it because of ignorance. Because that world is too macroscopic, so great, we don't dare to look at it, for fear that once we see it, we will be completely overwhelmed.

This is the weakness of human nature, people are always accustomed to avoid the world that they are not familiar with, and choose the world that they think is more esoteric. As everyone knows, it's just a vulgar and superficial choice of a world sketched by others.

Chen Ya once published an article on a forum about a brief history of time and time, and she wrote the following two paragraphs in the article:

"A Brief History of Time is a conjecture and exploration of the universe, which describes our cosmic image, space and time, the expanding universe, the uncertainty principle, black holes, the origin and fate of the universe, etc., introduces the knowledge of distant galaxies, black holes, particles, antimatter and other knowledge in simple terms, and expounds the origin of the universe, space and time, and ancient propositions such as the theory of relativity.
