New Year's greetings

New Year's greetings are the oldest traditional customs of the people, and the exchange of feelings between relatives during the Spring Festival is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new and express good wishes to each other.

What we usually know is that on the first day of the first month, the head of the family leads the juniors to go out to meet relatives, friends, and elders, and congratulate each other on the New Year with auspicious words.

It is a custom passed down from generation to generation, and it is a kind of family exchange between relatives to contact feelings and condolences to each other.

The host family warmly entertained them with snacks, sweets, and red envelopes (New Year's money).

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a monster with a single horn on its head and a mouth like a blood basin, and people called it "Nian". On the 30th night of the lunar month, it will run out of the mountains and forests, preying on and devouring people. People had to prepare some meat and put it outside the door, then close the door, and hide in the house, until the morning of the first day of the new year, after the "New Year" has a full meal, people open the door to meet each other, make a happy greeting, and congratulate each other. In order to drive away this monster, one year and year came to the village, and people found that it was afraid of red things and noises. So another year, before the year came, people pasted red paper on the door, hung red lanterns, came up, people used hollow bamboo to make a cannon to the ground, made a loud sound, finally, the year was driven away, so, later people have the custom of pasting couplets, hanging lanterns, and setting off firecrackers.

The elder Meng of the Song Dynasty described the Bianjing Shiyun of the Northern Song Dynasty in the sixth volume of "Tokyo Menghualu": "On the first day of October, the Kaifeng Mansion released the customs for three days, and the Shishu congratulated each other since the morning. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Rong said in the fifth volume of "Shuyuan Miscellaneous Records": "On the New Year's Day of the Beijing Division, from the court officials to the Shu people, those who cross the road for days are called 'New Year's'." However, the Shishu people worship their relatives and friends, and they are more solid. When the government officials come and go, they are more likely to love and not ......". Gu Tieqing of the Qing Dynasty described in "Qing Jialu", "Men and women worship their parents for the second time, and the master is humble and young, and he goes out to his neighbors and relatives, or stops sending his children to congratulate him, which is called 'New Year'." Until there are those who do not meet at the end of the year, they also worship each other at the ...... of the door. ”

In ancient times, it was customary for high-ranking scholars to congratulate each other with their names. Zhou Hui of the Song Dynasty said in the "Qingbo Magazine": "During the Song and Yuanyou years, the New Year's festival often made the servants hold their names and stab them."

At that time, scholars and doctors traveled extensively, and if they went around to pay New Year's greetings, it would take both time and energy, so some friends who were not close to each other did not go in person, but sent servants to take a kind of card cut from plum blossom paper that was two inches wide and three inches long, with the name, address and congratulatory words of the recipient written on it. In the Ming Dynasty, people used to pay homage instead of New Year's greetings.

Wen Zhengming, an outstanding painter and poet of the Ming Dynasty, described in the poem "Greeting the New Year": "I don't want to meet, but I have an encyclical, and the famous paper is full of houses; I also threw a few pieces of paper with others, and the world hated Jane rather than false."

The "famous thorns" and "famous confessions" mentioned here are the origins of today's New Year's cards. New Year's cards are convenient and useful for connecting feelings and exchanging greetings, and are still popular today.

About from the Qing Dynasty, the New Year's greetings and the form of "group worship" was added, the Qing Dynasty Yilan Lord said in the "Side Hat Yu Tan": "Beijing at the beginning of the year, routine group worship, to link the New Year's friendship, to Dun hometown", "every year by the year by the year of the book red order, food banquet, for the day of joy".

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, thousands of winds have been congratulated. Since the beginning of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the order of New Year's greetings is: the first worship of heaven and earth, the second worship of the true shadow of the ancestors, then worship the elders of the high hall, and finally the whole family worships each other in order. Give great gifts to the elders, give rewards to the children, and bow their hands to the elders. The order of worshipping relatives and friends is: the first day of the new year to worship the family; On the second and third days of the first month, he visited his mother, uncle, father-in-law, etc., until the 16th. In modern times, multi-line group worship is carried out at the end of the year, and New Year's cards and letters are mailed.

In ancient times, the original meaning of the word "New Year's greetings" was to congratulate the elderly on the New Year, including prostrating to the elderly, congratulating them on a good New Year, and greeting them with a good life. When you meet relatives and friends of the same generation, you should also give gifts and congratulations. With the development of the times, the custom of New Year's greetings has been constantly added with new content and form. Nowadays, in addition to following the previous way of greeting the New Year, people have also risen up ceremonial telegram and telephone New Year's greetings.

On the first day of the new year, people get up early, put on the most beautiful clothes, dress up neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, greet each other, and wish good luck in the coming year. There are various ways to pay New Year's greetings, some are the patriarch leading a number of people to go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings; Some colleagues invite a few people to visit each other; There are also people who get together to congratulate each other, which is called "group worship". In the Song Dynasty, relatives and friends would send messages to each other to congratulate each other, which was the early New Year's card. In the Ming Dynasty, the design of the New Year's card was more perfect and exquisite, and the post not only printed the name and address of the sender, but also wrote the greetings of "Happy New Year" and "Auspicious Ruyi".

When greeting the New Year, the younger generation should first give the elders a New Year's greeting, wish the elders a long life and good health, the elders can be prepared in advance to distribute the New Year's money to the younger generations, it is said that the New Year's money can suppress the evil, because the "year" and "Zhen" homonym, the younger generation can get the New Year's money to spend a year in peace.
