Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as Chinese New Year's Eve, for all Chinese people, this festival is needless to say, it has long been imprinted in the depths of the soul like life.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Wang Fang can truly be sure that he is a Chinese, flowing with Chinese blood, and in this world, there are tens of millions of relatives of the same blood as himself, and by five hundred years, this number will increase to about 1.4 billion.

The entire 1.4 billion compatriots, every time they come to this festival, they can emerge with carnival-like enthusiasm.

This is a festival imprinted in the depths of our souls for thousands of years, and it is also a festival that best reflects Chinese tradition.

In previous years, the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago, this is also the biggest sacrificial day of the year, whether old or young, will always return to their hometown on this festival, accompany their relatives, and spend this legendary festival of fighting New Year beasts.

In the middle and late years of the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder had already spread, and firecrackers filled the streets and alleys, becoming a way for everyone to celebrate the New Year, especially for children, it was a time full of innocence and joy.

After eating early, I came to the flat ground in front of the house with the fourth brother, and the two of them looked around, and found that there were no adults watching, so they hurriedly lit the cannon and threw it on the loess road in front of the door.

Wang Fang also followed behind the fourth brother, and wanted to remind him that with such a loud noise, he didn't need to hide to know that he secretly set off firecrackers, but it may have been scared since he was a child, and he has not been able to turn around until now.

The artillery battles of this era, generally speaking, are not much different from those of later generations, don't believe it, the firecrackers of later generations are just earthen artillery battles, and it is impossible to use high-end goods such as granule gunpowder, otherwise the state would have already supervised it, and there would not have been so many tragic accidents of private artillery factories.

It's just that compared with the artillery battles of later generations, the artillery battles of these years and months are not so loud, it may be a matter of purity, or it may be a problem of paper, in short, there will be a slight gap.

And this evening, it is said that when the clan sacrifices, there will be fireworks, for the fireworks of this era, Wang Fang is extremely curious, it is said that there were all kinds of fireworks in the Song Dynasty, and so on in the Ming Dynasty, there are even records of the palace being burned by fireworks.

With the sound of bursts of artillery battles, Wang Fang's New Year is not unusual, it is very similar to the New Year in the countryside in later generations, most of them are children playing and playing, and the adults are also very kind, leaning on the door frame and watching their children joke and play, while eating snacks, they keep commenting on which children are stronger, more beautiful, more promising, and so on.

Until sunset, the village sacrifice is held, as long as it is the male of the He family, all gather outside the ancestral hall door, waiting for the arrival of the clansmen, as for the other village people with foreign surnames, they also have their own sacrificial places, those who have money will build a large ancestral hall, and those who have no money will build a small ancestral hall, in short, as long as people live, they have their own ways of worshipping.

It was only now that Wang Fang understood that his clansmen originally went to the grave in the morning and went to the ancestral hall in the afternoon to worship, and some people with foreign surnames simply went to the grave at the age of twenty-nine, and many customs in other places even ended at the time of the twenty-three.

This is the first time for Wang Fang to participate in such a sacrificial ceremony, first of all, the patriarch announces this year's harvest, then what merits he intends to make next year, and then the three oldest uncles in the clan, leading the clansmen to kowtow to their ancestors, and then hoping that the ancestors will bless and so on.

Of course, kowtowing is just for show, and one of the leading uncles is brought over, not to mention kowtowing, it's difficult to stand.

As for the other juniors, they must bow completely according to the standard of three kneeling and nine bowing.

After the etiquette is over, the elders begin to reprimand the younger ones, whose family stole chickens, whose family quarreled, whose in-laws abused their sons and nephews, and so on.

In short, this is a grand ceremony to summarize this year and look forward to next year, in addition, there is also one of the most important effects, which is to tell the people around us that we are all brothers, we are all clansmen, we are all our own relatives, we are all our own family, we have a common ancestor, we need to understand, create a better tomorrow together, and so on.

This is extremely important in the ancient clan society, whenever this time, the friends always have to look up at the old man in front of the hall, and then suddenly realized, we are really an ancestor, are raised by the ancestors, in this case, the past grievances and hatred naturally take a step back, of course, if anyone really does not want to understand, I want to come to the elders of the clan will also let them understand.

After looking at the three staggering old men, Wang Fang confirmed that in the face of such elders, it is estimated that the old hats in the clan will not dodge when they are beaten.

It was not clear what such a sacrificial ceremony meant to children, and Wang Fang didn't bother to pretend to be solemn, and ended the fight with the fourth brother with a smile.

When the festival is over, it is already early hour, and after each family returns to their homes and enjoys the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, each family begins its own summary meeting.

At dinner, grandpa's face was not good, and when he looked around, more than ten people of all sizes never saw the figure of the big house, not only did he not have the figure of the uncle and aunt, but even the little six and seven were picked up and returned to their homes in the county for the New Year.

"What about your eldest brother, what did he say?"

When he was summing up, his grandfather's face was not good, and his grandmother was the first to ask questions, and her complexion was a little gloomy.

The second uncle lowered his head and persuaded: "This year, there is a new master book in the county, and the shopkeepers of the major merchants will go to visit early tomorrow morning. ”

"What about your sister-in-law, what did she say?"

"The sister-in-law said that the lady of the master book has set up a banquet, and the major ladies in the city will go there at that time, and I plan to take the junior over to have a look, and by the way, I will see others."

Everyone was speechless when they said the two sentences, and the other party's reasons were extremely abundant, grandpa took a few puffs, and the cigarette pouch knocked on the table: "This rebel, this is a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice ......"

The latter words were not said, but it can be guessed that they did not recognize their ancestors and the like, and it was not until this time that Wang Fang understood why there were not so many excellent products at home, it turned out that it was because the best products were relatively rich and had already moved out.

At this time, another familiar voice sounded, and the third aunt said with a smile: "Don't care about the boss's business, whether the surname is or not, I heard that someone made a fortune this year, and I didn't see it to the family." ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the second uncle and fixed on He Hua.

Mother slapped the table and stood up: "Yang Huaihua, what do you mean!" ”

"What do I mean!"

"What else could it mean!"

"You all have your own way to get money, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you are angry with me who is in charge of my family, leaving me a woman's family, and I don't even have a copper all year round."

The third aunt's anger also came up, patted the table and said: "I, Yang Huaihua, married into your old He family to enjoy happiness, not to endure hardship, if you don't give me an explanation, I will go back to my parents' house after the New Year, so that outsiders can take a good look at how your old He family treats the new daughter-in-law." ”

"You still have the face to say, if you weren't a slut pleading with my man to serve, how could the third child of your family leave, if you want to go, the third child of your family will go, why let my man go for him......"

The two fought together, and several little dolls shrank in the corner, looking up at their grandmother's face, their faces were blue, and they looked even more angry than when they mentioned their uncle.

"That's enough, this thing really needs to be talked about."
